Description: This is another story that I've had stewing in my mind ever since i was halfway done writing the most recent one i posted on line onto notebook paper. Its another Jackie/Hyde fanfic...ooooh big shocker huh? I know, me writing a Jackie/Hyde story? Who would have ever thought. ... P . well, i thought i would test the waters with this story. Let me know what you think.
Disclaimer: i don't own any part of That 70's show. But you know that if i did, i would cut out the 8th season because randy and Sam ruined the show and Jackie ending up with fez was the nail in the coffin for it to me.

Chapter #10
(Jackie's pov)
" Jackie, what the hell are you doing?", I hear Hyde ask from outside the shower. Turning off the water, I poke my head out of the curtain. Reaching for my towel, I wrap it around me tightly before stepping out of the shower. He really wants to know what I'm doing? Uh what's it look like? I just got done taking a shower. Which reminds me, why the hell is he in the bathroom? Doesn't he know that I'm naked? What makes him think that he can see me like this? He's not that privileged. Can't I have a little privacy? Is that asking so much?
" Um well I just hopped out of the shower. Now I'm getting ready for bed. What's it look like?", I question as I roll my eyes at Steven. Grabbing another towel, I dry my hair before combing it out in front of the mirror. Steven just stands there the entire time watching me. With a frown, I glance over at him briefly with an arched eyebrow. Why is he just standing there? Does he really think that I'm going to dress in front of him? Because I'm not and if I have to I'll kick him out of the room until I'm done.
" It's bad enough that you dated Kelso. Stop kissing my friends dammit!", snaps Hyde as he glares at me through the mirror. That's what this is about? Because I kissed Adam? I should have known. What does he care anyway? It's not his business who I kiss or don't kiss. I shouldn't have to explain myself to him. You know what? I'm not going to either. So if he has a problem with the fact that I kissed Adam? Well that is his problem, not mine.
" It was hardly even a kiss Steven. Why do you care anyway?", I counter as I turn to face him now. We engage in a stare down for a minute or so. With a roll of my eyes, I push my way past him. I am way too hungover and tired to have this argument with him. If Steven is so intent on bickering with someone, he can bicker with himself for all I care. I'm getting dressed, crawling into our bed, turning off the lights and going to sleep. That's all there is to it really, end of discussion.
Following me from the bathroom, Hyde walks into the bedroom after me," Because Adam is a good friend of mine. I don't want you digging your claws into or corrupting him. Not to mention if Kelso were to find out..."
" I could care less if Michael found out. I'm done with him, for good this time too.", I snap in anger as I interrupt him. That's why he was so mad? Because he was afraid that Kelso would find out? Well who gives a crap if he does? I know that I don't. Why should he? If anything it would result in a good burn for him. Shouldn't he be happy about that? It's no secret that Steven enjoys burning Kelso every chance he gets. ...
(Hyde's pov)
" Yeah sure. We've all heard this song and dance before Jacks. What makes this time so different?", I remark with sarcasm as I hold back a laugh. Like I am supposed to believe a word she says? Yeah right that's going to happen. Jackie says the same exact thing every time her and Kelso break up. She always tell me that she'll never take him back when she's crying on my shoulder. Then what does she always wind up doing? Taking Kelso back, the exact opposite of what she says. I know better than to trust a word that comes out of Jackie's mouth.
" I'm tired of his crap that's what.", acknowledges Jackie as she raises an eyebrow in my direction. Catching her hint, I turn my back as she dresses. Catching a glimpse of her bare back in the mirror, I quickly close my eyes. The last thing that I need is to see Jackie naked. While the thought is a pleasant, that image will be forever burned into my head. I really don't need naughty thoughts about Jackie invading my dreams, especially with her sleeping right beside me. I really don't want to explain why there's a tent in my boxers to her. That wouldn't be a pleasant conversation.
" So why put up with it?", I inquire overcome with curiosity. That's the one thing that I never understood. If Jackie is as tired of getting hurt as she says she is, than why does she always take him back? Why not just leave Kelso once and for all? It isn't like the jackass wouldn't deserve it. I can't even count how many times Jackie has come crying to me whenever that idiot screws something up. I mean it's gotten to the point where I've tried numerous times to get Kelso caught in the act by dropping hints. I would never come right out and tell Jackie. While Kelso is a dumb ass he is still my best friend. I couldn't just rat him out. So instead I drop hints hoping that Jackie will catch on.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Jackie combs out her hair," I don't plan to anymore Steven."
" I'll believe it when I see it.", I mutter mostly to myself. Until she gives me a reason to believe otherwise, I'm not going to hold my breath. Every time that she tells me she's done with Kelso, I always hope that she means it. Mainly because I hate seeing Jackie cry over that moron. He's not worth her tears. Why can't she see that? It doesn't take a fool to realize that Jackie could do much better than the likes of Kelso. The sooner she figures that out, the better.
" Think what you want Hyde, I'm too tired to care.", I hear Jackie call from beside me. Taking a risk, I glance over her at. Sighing in relief when she's fully clothed once again, I take off my worn out Zeppelin t-shirt and kick out of my socks and shoes. Placing my sunglasses on the night stand beside the bed, I collapse back onto it. I didn't even know that she heard me. I'm not surprised though, Jackie hears everything. Why wouldn't she hear me say that? It's like I said before though. Until she shows me otherwise, I'm not going to hold my breath. I don't care if she's mad that I don't believe her. She's given me no reason to think otherwise.
" Jackie, you always say that you'll never take Kelso back. Then you always do, come on. Who are you trying to fool? Because your not fooling me. That much is for sure.", I argue as she glares down at me now. I can tell that I hit a soft spot. Jackie looks like she is about to slap me. You know what, I wouldn't stop her either if she did. I went too far with that comment. I shouldn't have said that. But it's the truth. What else am I supposed to think? Especially if it's what she always does?
" You know what Hyde! ...Whatever. You can just go to hell for all I care.", dismisses Jackie in a frustrated manner as she stalks from our room. Cringing as she slams the door shut behind her, I sigh heavily to myself. Great, now Jackie is upset. When the hell am I ever going to learn to keep my damn mouth shut? Where the hell does Jackie think that she is going anyway? If she thinks that I'm going after her...that's not going to happen. Dealing with a hungover, angry Jackie is not top on my priority list. I treasure my family jewels as well as my shins. If I were to go after Jackie? One of them would wind up getting kicked. I'm pretty sure that I can live without the pain. I'll just let her cool off. She'll come to bed when she's ready. If I know Jackie, she won't want to sleep out on the couch and she already knows she isn't bunking up with Adam in his room. ...
