"So where to now?"

"Can we go back to the room? I want to finish what we just started," she whispered.

Hyde glanced down at her. She looked turned on, her eyes glassed over and her lips pouted out. She rubbed his chest, waiting for an answer, her hand wandering to his belt buckle. It hesitated there for a second before moving back to his pec.

"Yeah, let's go."

The two of them walked quickly to his car. Hyde opened the passenger's side door and let Jackie get inside. Then he walked over to his side to quickly drive back to the hotel.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

Hyde woke up the next morning with Jackie's body tangled with his. Her head was on his chest with her one hand while the other hand held on to his arm. Her one leg was tucked under his right leg while her other twisted between both of his legs. He wasn't quite sure how they had gotten so tangled but he was comfortable.

He brushed the hair out of her face so he could watch her sleep. He wanted to laugh as her lips moved like she was speaking. He listened and heard the soft sounds coming out of her lips. Figures that even in her sleep she couldn't stay quiet.

Jackie rubbed her face against his chest, her nose crinkling. He pushed the hair that was tickling her nose to the side. She stirred and Hyde froze. A second later she was deep asleep again.

He ran a finger down the side of her face, tracing her jaw. He moved his fingers to her lips, tracing the half that he could reach as they turned upwards. He smiled with her. Realizing how Forman-like he was behaving he dropped his hand from her face.

He ran the thumb of the hand resting on her side over her waist. Jackie shifted again, moving closer to him so her entire body was pressed against him. Hyde's thumb continued to move in circles on her flesh as he laid there with her.

"Mm. Steven?" Jackie mumbled.

"Yeah?" he whispered, not sure if she was actually talking to him or talking in her sleep.

"What time is it?"

Hyde glanced over at the clock. "Eight thirty."

Her eyes cracked as she looked up at him. "Why are you up so early baby?"

"I couldn't sleep."

"Everything okay?" she asked.

"Fine, really."

"Oh, okay."

She yawned and stretched out. Hyde watched her arch her back and he leaned down to kiss her. He laid on top of her and kissed her softly again.

"You're beautiful."

"You're sweet."

"So I guess we should be going today," he said.

"I guess," she nodded, playing with the hair at the back of his neck.

Hyde pressed a kiss to her collarbone. She stroked his neck as they laid there together. Hyde rested his head on her shoulder as she continued to run her nails over his neck. It felt really good.

"Steven, what if I don't want to leave here?"

Finally Hyde pulled away to look at her. He scanned her face and could see she was serious. Hyde shifted as he thought of how to respond.

"If you're serious, if you really want to stay, then we'll stay. But you have to be sure about this because if we stay it's going to be hard to leave again, okay?"

"Okay."

"So do you really want to stay?"

"Yes. Steven I loved it last night, going out and walking around downtown. It was wonderful, well besides the asshole at the bar but anyway I had a lot of fun here last night."

"Then we'll stay."

"Really?" she asked with a huge grin.

"Really doll. We'll need to find a job and a place to live if you're serious about this though."

"I am," she assured him, bringing his mouth down to hers.

Hyde wrapped his arms under her shoulders, pulling her chest tighter against his. He looked down at her and smiled.

"We'll do that then."

"I love you," she said, stroking his cheek.

"Ditto," he nodded.

She arched an eyebrow at him but didn't question it. They both knew that even though he loved her he wasn't going to say it all day every day. Instead he sealed the ditto with a kiss to her forehead. Her smile softened as she ran her thumb over his beard.

They stayed like that for a long time, just staring at each other and talking with Hyde lying on top of her. Occasionally they'd kiss but mostly it was just talking about what they were going to do if they stayed in Pittsburgh.

"So you're a hundred percent sure you want to stay?"

"Absolutely."

"Then I guess we can start looking for jobs if you want."

Jackie nodded so Hyde got up to get the paper from the front desk. As always, he told her to leave the door locked and not open it for anyone. As always, Jackie rolled her eyes as he walked out.
