A/N: Hope you enjoy the story! Hope you all have had a good day!
:)
Eric's heavy eyes opened to see it was daylight out, he raised his head immediately raised his whole body up when he saw Jackie was in his bed, her leg rested on his lap, and she was sleeping on her stomach, she was resting on her cheek...she even drooled on his bed!
Eric shook her gently to find out why she was sleeping in his bed, Eric was ready for her dangerous pimp hand!
"Jackie...wake up." Eric told her as he gently shook her.
Jackie stirred and opened her eyes, "Wha...? What do you want?" Jackie asked him groggily.
Eric couldn't help but smile, "Why are you in my bed?" Eric asked her as he sat up straight.
Jackie groaned, "I couldn't sleep in the other room. Blame yourself for making me watch that scary ass movie..." Jackie replied.
Eric bit his lip, "I guess that's true...you can stay in here, just get your leg off me." Eric told her.
Jackie groaned and lifted her leg off of him, Eric laid back down and sighed. Several minutes later Eric felt Jackie curl next to him, "What the hell is she doing?" Eric thought to himself.
It became apparent that Jackie was asleep and clearly didn't know what she was doing, her arm was linked with his, Eric immediately moved his arm slightly when it was between Jackie's breasts, "No more of that..." Eric thought to himself.
Eric tried to shift out of her grasp. Jackie however whined loudly and even pulled herself closer to him, not allowing him to move, thankfully not putting Eric's arm where it was before.
Eric was disgusted, the most annoying girl ever wouldn't let him even move! Eric just had to wait until she moved.
Eric had been laying down for the past hour and Jackie hadn't budged, Eric had tried to move several times but Jackie did the same thing and whined loudly and Eric was forced to stay where he was.
Eric had been laying down and was trying to stay awake, he was having trouble staying awake, if he fell asleep, Jackie would wake up and yell at him as to why he she was practically on top of him.
Eric sighed, kinda happily.
"This isn't so bad..." Eric thought to himself.
...
...
Eric physically shook his head, "No! This is terrible! The devil herself is curled up next to me, I should be disgusted...!" Eric frantically told himself in his head.
A few minutes passed.
"So why aren't I?" Eric whispered to himself.
Eric was floored on why he wasn't disgusted by this, Jackie Burkhart was curled next to him and he felt nothing but warmth and nice feeling in his chest about it.
Eric looked down and her leg was on his lap again, Eric just noticed how damn near perfect and hot her body was.
Eric then realized that Jackie Burkhart was hot!
Eric then felt stupid, why had he noticed that Jackie was hot now? And while she was almost on top of him? Has she always been this hot? Did she always have a natural heat coming off her body like right now?
Eric's perverted mind thought back to when his arm accidently was touching Jackie's breasts. It certainly didn't help with him trying to cope with his revelation.
Eric closed his eyes as he came to terms that he thought Jackie was hot...sexy even.
Eric made a promise to himself that he wouldn't let this come in the way of their friendship if they even had one. That would be a dumbass thing to do as his father would say. He could picture what Jackie would say if she found out:
"Join the club!"
Eric fell asleep in a rather comfortable way, he even shifted his arm so it was around Jackie's shoulder, Eric of course meant it as a friendly gesture.
Eric woke up 3 hours later at 12:00! Eric had been staring at the clock on the wall for the past 12 minutes, he never slept in but it was summer and he was doing what he supposed to be doing, right?
Jackie was taking a shower and Eric wondered what she thought when she woke up, curled up next to Eric like she was.
Eric got up and the phone was on the side table, almost like God put it there himself to call his parents. And who was Eric to ignore GOD?
Eric ran his hand across his face, "Whew..." Eric said to himself.
Eric picked up the phone and dialed his home phone number, the line rang and rang until he heard a click, and then a yawn, "Hello?" Eric heard his friend Hyde ask.
Eric let out the breath he was holding in, "Hyde, it's me." Eric said.
There was a pause, "Is this you, Forman?" Hyde asked seriously.
Eric laughed, "No, I work for the United States government and we know what you've been saying about us." Eric replied.
Hyde laughed, "Oh, man! Donna is SO pissed at you right now! You should have heard her talking to Bob-not talking, yelling about her going to California for you, man." Hyde stated.
Eric rolled his eyes, "Oh, shit. Well, me and Jackie aren't there yet. We are at a hotel right now." Eric explained.
Eric continued, "Is Donna okay? What else has she been doing?" Eric asked.
Hyde chuckled, "Man, she's going crazy. She keeps building shrines of you, she gotten into Voodoo. She dyed her hair blonde!" Hyde said in a serious voice.
Eric rolled his eyes again, "And sarcasm is like a second language to me, Hyde." Eric shot back.
Hyde laughed, "Okay fine, there is no shrines and shit, but she is doing everything she can to get you back." Hyde told his friend.
Eric sighed, "Well, tell her I'm not anything more than a friend to her. I'm having fun and I want it to stay that way." Eric said confidently.
Hyde paused, "You're having fun with Jackie?" Hyde asked like it was the most unbelievable thing he had ever heard.
Eric laughed, "Yeah, I am. Jackie can be pretty funny when we're not around you guys." Eric said.
Hyde laughed, "You must have been high, man." Hyde observed.
Eric rolled his eyes, he made sure Jackie was still taking a shower before he told Hyde the next thing, "Man, earlier today...it hit me that Jackie was hot...like, really hot." Eric admitted.
Hyde laughed in gales of laughter "Oh, my God! You think Jackie's hot?! That hysterical!" Hyde teased through the phone.
Eric threw his hands up in frustration, "Oh, give me a break, Hyde. I know you think she's hot." Eric shot at him.
Hyde continued to laugh, "Of course I do! Even girls think she's hot. But you two hate each other!" Hyde said, continuing to tease him.
Eric shook his head, "No! We don't hate each other, maybe it was you guys who made me and Jackie see how we see each other. We have been getting along pretty good so far."
Hyde didn't buy it, "Yeah, okay. Maybe I should tell Donna that you think Jackie's hot, huh?" Hyde told him.
Eric groaned, "Don't tell her that, that is the last thing she needs. So don't do that." Eric warned his friend.
Hyde laughed, "You still loooove her, Forman?" Hyde teased him.
Eric sighed, "No, Hyde. She is one of my closest friends and if she still has feelings for me and I don't, I don't want her to know I think someone else is hot. I have that right to." Eric explained.
Hyde groaned, "Why do take the fun out of everything?" Hyde asked.
Eric rolled his eyes, "Making Donna upset is funny?" Eric asked Hyde.
Hyde snorted, "I don't know what you are insinuating, Forman. But yeah, if you were here it would be pretty funny." Hyde countered.
Eric paused, "Insinuating? Good word..." Eric stated.
Hyde smirked, "Oh, do you what that means? It means to seem like." Hyde explained.
Eric sighed, "No shit. I'm assuming because you answered the phone, that my parents are out?" Eric asked.
Hyde laughed, "Yeah, which reminds me, screw you. I have been taking knitting classes with your mother because you are not here." Hyde told him.
Eric bawled with laughter, "Oh, my God! I totally forgot about that!" Eric said mesmerized.
Hyde nodded, he would never admit to any of his guy friends that he was having fun with Kitty in the classes, "Yeah, you laugh while I'm going through hell!" Hyde yelled.
Eric sighed happily after his good laugh, "Oh, man...Just tell my mother that I'm okay." Eric told him.
Hyde sighed, "Yeah, get bent, Forman." Hyde said, over the years, Eric had learned that was Hyde own way of saying he would follow through on it.
"Alright, I'm gonna go, but have fun knitting sweaters! Be sure to send me one!" Eric teased.
Hyde nodded, he would get the last word here, "Yeah well, your sister came back and she seduced our foreign friend, and she is hooking up with Fez so have a good day!" Hyde shot back.
Eric's eyes widened, "What?" Eric shouted.
"I said good day!" Hyde said hanging up the phone.
Eric was in shock, he knew that Hyde might be joking but that seemed like something his sister would do, and Fez certainly would give in to his seduction.
"Shit!" Eric stated.
Jackie came out as she heard him say that, "What?" Jackie asked using both of her hands to dry her with a towel, she was in a white robe.
Eric turned and saw Jackie, "My whore of a sister is shacking up with Fez!" Eric exclaimed.
Jackie laughed as she dried her hair, "Oh, not a shock your sister hit on the foreign kid." Jackie stated.
Eric shook his head, Jackie continued to dry her hair, "Well, I'm gonna call Michael now." Jackie said throwing the towel over her shoulder.
"Okay." Eric said, getting up from the the bed spot so she could use the phone.
Jackie thanked him and sat down, Eric sat on the couch by the TV to watch some 'Good Times' .
Jackie dialed his house number and knew one of his brothers would answer the phone, "Hello! What do you want, who is this?!" Casey answered.
Jackie rolled her eyes, she put on a sweet voice, "Yes, this is..." Jackie tried to think of a random name, "...Mila, I work down at the Health Clinic, and it's imperative that I speak to Michael Kelso, I have his test results from earlier today." Jackie stated.
Eric looked over at her for using a weird name like that, before his attention went back to the TV, Casey paused over the line, "Oh...ha! Kelso's got a venereal disease! Kelso, telephone!" Casey shouted.
Jackie rolled her eyes at how immature Casey was, "Hello?" Kelso answered.
Jackie bit her lip, "Michael, it's me, Jackie." Jackie said.
There was a pause, "What the hell are doing in California with Eric?! Huh?! Why did you leave in the 1st place, anyway?! Are you having sex with Eric now?!" Kelso shouted into the phone.
Jackie had her eyebrow arched the whole time, "You done now?" Jackie asked after silence.
"Yes, now answer me!" Kelso shouted.
Jackie rolled her eyes, "I left because you did, Michael." Jackie answered him.
Jackie heard some clattering over the phone, Kelso was now sitting up, "How could you be having sex with Eric now?!" Kelso shouted again, Jackie surprised and thankful that Eric didn't hear Kelso yelling.
"Michael, I'm not having sex with Eric." Jackie replied, Eric immediately looked over with a questionable look on his face, Jackie just shrugged her arms and pointed to the phone.
Eric just laughed loudly and went back to the TV, "Michael, I'm calling to let you know that we're through, okay?" Jackie said honestly.
"What did I do?" Kelso asked as if he truly didn't do anything wrong
Jackie's eyes widened, "What did you do?! Let me tell you what you did!" Jackie yelled, abandoning all signs of being calm.
"You constantly cheated on me! You bailed on our wedding plans and didn't care how I would feel about it, you son of a bitch! How many times have you slept with someone since I have left? Huh?" Jackie shouted, Eric was looking at her in shock, he draped his arm over the back of the couch to watch and listen to the spectacle.
Kelso stuttered at her question, "Wha..? That doesn't even matter, Jackie!" Kelso shouted.
Jackie was seething, "Answer me, dammit!" Jackie shouted.
"Like...8 times." Kelso admitted, he tried to make it sound like it wasn't that many.
Jackie tried to speak, but no words or letters came out, "You...8...women...?" Jackie gasped out.
Kelso spoke again, "Jackie, that really isn't that bad compared how much I could have done it." Kelso continued.
Eric watched with actual concern, Jackie didn't look like she was breathing at all, she kept muttering things but Eric couldn't even hear her from where he was.
Jackie finally found some words, in her head, "And I thought Eric was a whore..." Jackie thought to herself
Kelso continued, "Jackie, just come back, okay? We'll pretend nothing ever happened." Kelso said.
Jackie was in shock that she didn't mean anything to Kelso, the fact that he didn't even respect her enough to not sleep with women until he at least talked to her really hurt her.
"Michael, I'll always be your friend but I can't be in a romantic relationship with you, we're not meant to be together, okay?" Jackie told him confidently, yet still hurt.
"OH!" Kelso gasped his trademark quote.
"Goodbye, Michael." Jackie said as he hung up the phone. Jackie felt good about that, it went far better than she expected despite the info she had just received.
Eric was staring at her while she stared at the ground, "Are you okay?" Eric asked.
Jackie looked at Eric over on the couch, "Am I hot?" Jackie asked.
Eric's eyes widened, "Did you seriously just ask that stupid question?" Eric shot at her.
"Well, if I'm so hot why does Kelso cheat on me?" Jackie asked.
Eric rolled his eyes, this was a weird and pointless conversation about her being hot, in her robe and in any other outfit, she would always be hot, "Because he's a dumbass." Eric replied.
Jackie smiled lightly, "So I am hot?" Jackie asked again.
Eric nodded, "Yeah, I think so. Anybody who doesn't is gay or blind and even they would find you hot." Eric told her.
Jackie laughed, "You even think I'm hot?" Jackie asked yet again.
Eric chuckled, "Yes, Jackie." Eric confirmed.
Jackie smirked, "Okay, I'm all better now." Jackie said standing up, "If you think I'm hot you can just join the club!" Jackie joked as she went into the bathroom, she was back to her old self
Eric stared in shock at the floor, "Weird..." Eric whispered, "I already joined the club this morning..." Eric joked to himself.
An hour and a half later, Jackie came out of the bathroom, looking beautiful as always with her makeup on and finally over Kelso.
"Let's go watch the movie now, I'm not waiting to see that adult with the braces on his shift." Jackie stated.
Eric sat up, he was still in his clothes from yesterday, they were clean and not dirty but Jackie still noticed.
"Eric, put on some clean clothes, we're going out in public, you know." Jackie scolded, Eric wouldn't admit it, but it was somewhat nice to have the insult throwing Jackie back.
Eric laughed, "Relax, we're not going to some premiere of a critically acclaimed movie, we're seeing 'Blazing Saddles'." Eric teased.
Jackie rolled her eyes, "I don't care! We are going out in public, I'm not going anywhere with you dressed like that." Jackie scolded him.
Eric laughed and sat up, "Well, it's nice to have you back. I'm taking a shower then." Eric said getting up.
Jackie was expecting more of a fight from Eric, then again the only guy who she went out into public places with was Kelso, other her girlfriends never left without looking desirable to other guys.
Eric came out of the shower in new clothes, and Jackie wouldn't admit that it more then met her expectations, "Okay, let's go." Eric said.
Jackie had their bag of candy, "Let's stop at the soda machine, I'm thirsty." Jackie ordered.
Eric locked the hotel door and walked with Jackie down the hallway to a small room where vending machines were, about 3 candy machines, and 2 soda machines.
Jackie laughed on seeing it, "We should bring Fez here and let him loose with a bag of quarters." Jackie joked.
Eric laughed, "I'm not gonna be the one to say, 'We have to leave now'. It would be like trying get your kid to leave Funland." Eric replied.
Eric got a Pepsi, and Jackie got a diet Pepsi. Eric got some Tootsie Rolls, which was Fez's favorite candy, Jackie got some chips. They made their way to the lobby and it was just as empty as last night. There were some workers around, but not the one Jackie got in a 'fight' with.
Eric and Jackie got looks from workers and Eric assumed it was from other workers getting told of Jackie's funny comeback to them. Eric still thought it was funny, Jackie had a quick wit about her and could defend herself physically or verbally when she needed to.
Eric noticed they were right on time for the movie, they could both hear the previews of new movies coming from the theater, "Oh, hurry," Jackie said speed walking the rest of the way to the doors.
Jackie stood in front of the doors and actually waited for him to open the doors for her, Eric wanted to roll his eyes but he couldn't help but smile.
He held the door open and was glad it wasn't like at gas station where she was hit with unresolved feelings for a certain kettlehead.
Jackie walked in and there a few more people than yesterday, the view of the field with the opening credits were on the screen, most of the audience was in the front of the theater.
"Where should we sit?" Jackie asked, since the Kelso thing was resolved, she didn't worry about the stupid thought of Eric hitting on her as it was never the case and she knew that now.
Jackie was so glad she put the smackdown on Kelso and told him how things were and that she meant it too. After hearing Kelso say how many women he slept with, that was the final straw for Jackie.
Eric followed Jackie to the seat and sat in the next seat next to her, a few minutes had passed when Eric saw other people taking their hidden stash of candy out of their jackets and purses.
One guy was rolling up some weed into a joint!
The smoke from him was staying in the front area of the theater, Eric didn't feel like getting high right then. Eric was kinda repulsed that the guy was doing drugs in public, have some respect for people who don't wanna be in your clambake.
"Get the candy out..." Eric said not taking his eyes off the screen.
Jackie opened her purse and got Eric's soda and held it out for him without looking out of her purse, Eric took his soda and opened it, the cracking of it echoed throughout the theater.
Everybody turned around to glare at him, Eric was shocked he was getting looks for opening his soda.
"Are you kidding me?" Eric told the crowd, "That guy is smoking a joint over there and your glaring at me for opening a Goddamn soda?" Eric scolded them.
Jackie had a small giggle fit next to him, the crowd turned back to watch the movie, Jackie gave him his candy and she went into hers.
Jackie spent about 10 minutes testing out different positions to get comfortable, Jackie looked to Eric and he was sitting back with his feet on the chair in front of him.
Jackie tired that and was still uncomfortable, Jackie knew this would be a little weird but she wanted to be comfortable so she could watch the damn movie. But Jackie shifted her butt to the right of the chair and leaned her head on Eric's shoulder.
Jackie felt Eric move slightly, for sure seeing as to what the hell she was doing leaning her head on his shoulder, but soon Eric went back to leaning in his seat.
Now they were both comfortable enough to watch 'Blazing Saddles'.
