6 months later, Jackie and Hyde were doing very well. They still hadn't slept together but their relationship was better than it ever had been. They spend almost every weekend together. Alternating spending it in Point Place and Madison. It was a Sunday night and Hyde had decided to stay over her apartment and just drive straight to Grooves in the morning. It was four a.m. and Hyde was propped up on his elbow staring at Jackie's sleeping form. He traced the outline of her lips gently and kissed her forehead. She stirred lightly and stared up at him.

"Hey…what are you doing up?"

"Just watching you."

She smiled. "Why would you do that?"

"Because I don't want to leave."

She smiled and stroked his cheek. "I don't want you to leave either."

"Jackie I hate having to go a whole week without seeing you."

"Steven I know…but I have school, and you have work."

"I know it's just…never mind." He sighed and lay back down on the bed staring at the ceiling.

She rolled over and lay on top of him. "Baby…talk to me."

"I mean we've been together now for like 7 months. And it's just…I need to see you more Jackie. We talk on the phone everyday but I miss you."

She kissed his chin softly. "I know…I miss you too."

"God if you had to go to school for four years I would never be able to make it."

She laughed. "Me either. But…its only two years. So that's like a year and a half more. And…I was thinking I could spend the summer in Point Place. And get a job there."

Hyde's eyes lit up. "Really?"

"Yeah. So that would be like four months together."

"Well that would be great. But then you would still have to come back."

"Steven…"

"Jackie I want you to have this opportunity, I really do. And…I don't want to sound selfish here, but I want to be with you all the time."

She smiled and kissed him. "It doesn't sound selfish at all. Because I want to be with you all the time too."

He smiled. "Sorry I woke you up."

"It's more than ok."

They stayed like that for awhile just enjoying each other. Jackie looked over at the clock. 4:30. She looked back at Steven and bit her lip.

"What?" He asked.

"Steven…we've been together for 7 months now…"

"Yeah so?"

"Don't you think we've waited long enough?"

"You mean for…?"

"Yes Steven. I want this. I want you."

"Jackie…"

But he couldn't respond. Her lips were on his before he could react and he moaned when he felt her tongue enter his mouth. She let her hands roam his naked chest and feel every inch of him. But he didn't do anything…he was in shock She laughed against his mouth and pulled away.

"You know Steven…I'm giving you full permission to touch me…so…you could do something ya know."

"Uh…yeah…I just…uh…"

"Steven don't you want me?" She asked concerned. She sat up looking down at him.

"What Jackie, yeah I do…I just…"

"What? Tell me. Come on Steven I'm dying here. I'm practically throwing myself at you and you haven't even touched me!" She said practically in tears.

"No…Jackie don't cry. Please…" He sat up and wrapped her legs around his waist. "It's just…I need to do this right."

"Steven I know but we've waited 7 months. It's ok now. I love you. I trust you. I know you won't hurt me again. So I'm telling you I'm ready for this. So please…please just touch me. Kiss me anything!"

"Jackie…Ok look I just…I screwed up so bad before. And…I just…I don't want…"

"Steven…"

"Just let me say this ok?" She just nodded. He wrapped her legs around him tighter and kissed her lips softly. "Jackie…I love you. Ok? I really, truly do. And I never thought I would be comfortable saying it. And when Sam showed up…I wanted to die. I wanted to kick her to the curb and apologize to you and beg for your forgiveness but I couldn't."

"Wh-"

"Let me finish before I loose my nerve." She nodded again. "I couldn't because I wanted you to have a better chance for a better life. I knew that you could find someone who would give you everything you deserve. I'm not good enough for you."

"No I'm interrupting you this time and I don't care what you say Steven Hyde!"

"Damn it Jackie!"

"Ok I'm only going to say this one more time Steven, so you better listen and you better listen good. I am so tired of you saying that you aren't good enough for you. Because you want to know what I think? I think that you are just scared. Your scared that I'm going to leave you, but guess what Steven I'm not going anywhere. And if you really don't think you're not good enough for me, that is the biggest load of shit I have ever heard in my life. You think so little of yourself Steven and it drives me nuts! I don't understand it, I really don't. Just because you didn't have a normal childhood or your parents left you, that doesn't make you a bad person Steven. The way you handled it and what you have done with your life proves that you are better than then. You have always been better than them. You just don't want to see that. So I'm tired of repeating myself Steven. I really am. You are the one that I want and if you ever say you're not good enough for me again…I'll…I'll kick you!" She said in a huff.

He stared at her shocked by what had just come out of her mouth.

"Jackie…I…I just…God…What am I supposed to say now?"

"Well you can continue what you were going to say about the whole Sam thing if you want…as long as you don't say anything about you not being good enough for me."

"Well that would be kind of hard…that's what it was about."

She sighed. "Fine…continue."

"Ok…its just…uh…I thought if I chose Sam, and flaunted her around you, than you would hate me. So…you would find someone else and he would give you everything you deserve…but you chose Fez and I didn't like that very much."

"Are you done?"

"Yes…"

"Well that was the stupidest plan I've ever heard in my life. But it can't be reversed so whatever. Sam's gone, Fez is gone and it's just you and me now. We've been together now for 7 months and yes, at first I was scared. I really was, but now…I want to be with you. Really be with you…So I'm asking you to put that all behind you, behind us and just be with me. Can you do that?"

He smiled at her trying to figure out how he had gotten so lucky to be with her. He kissed her so slowly she thought her heart was going to melt.

"Steven…"

"Shhhh…you said you wanted me to be with you right?" She nodded. "Ok well this usually works a lot better when you don't talk."

She smiled at him as he buried his face in the crook of her neck placing delicate kisses there. She sighed in pleasure and scratched at his hair and scalp. He pulled at her tank top and pulled it over her head, running his hands over her body as he did so. She didn't have a bra on so her breasts were in full view and he tickled them gently. She shivered at his touch and pulled him in for a scorching kiss. He smiled against her lips as he felt her tickle his stomach, running her fingers along the elastic band of his boxers. He flipped them over so he was on top and he pulled at her pajama pants and slid them down her slender legs. He kissed up and down each leg and she nudged his leg making him see that she wanted his boxers to come off. He nodded his head and pulled them off and she smiled taking him in her hands. She stroked him a few times and he groaned pulling her hands away not wanting to go to fast. She let him take control as he placed kisses all over her body making her delirious. She moaned as he sucked on her nipple and her hands gripped the sheets knowing that neither of them was going to last long because they hadn't been together in so long.

"Jackie…"

"Mmmmm…baby…"

"Jackie you are so beautiful." She whimpered as he said this and took the elastic of her panties in his hands. "So god damn beautiful baby."
"Steven…"

He pulled her panties down and slid his finger over folds and she gasped in excitement. He groaned when he felt how wet she was for him. He placed his hands on either side of her face holding himself up. He stared down at her and she smiled up at him, stroking his cheek gently.

"I forgive you Steven. For everything. I forgive you."

Tears of happiness prickled in his eyes…he had waited so long to hear her say those words. He leaned down and kissed her more passionately than he ever had in his life.

"God Jacks…"

"Steven…baby…please…please make love to me."

He leaned down and captured her lips again before sliding into her. The minute she felt him within her she whimpered into his mouth and wrapped her arms around his back.

"Oh Steven…"

"Jackie…"

He slipped in and out of her so slowly she thought she was going to die.

"Baby!"

"Jackie I want this to last."

"Baby, I need it. Come on baby…"

He stared down at her and saw the pleasure and happiness in her eyes. Again he thought: 'She wants me. She loves me.' He kissed her again and moved one hand to squeeze her breast gently. She moaned and arched her hips meeting his more forcefully. He groaned when she did so.

"Slow Jackie…"

"Steven! If you're trying to make me beg for it I will!" She was panting and groaning now. She could feel the pleasure growing in her, but every time she was close he would go slower prolonging the inevitable.

"Please baby. Please…make me cum."

"Jackie…" He was slowly loosing it hearing her say such things.

He buried his head in the crook of her neck and moved her hips in sync with his making him go deeper and faster within her and he couldn't stop her anymore. He needed it to. Minutes later they both came panting and screaming each others names. He fell on top of her as they tried to catch their breathe. She wrapped her arms around his neck kissing it gently as she giggled in happiness and satisfaction.

"Oh god Steven…baby that was so good."

He couldn't even speak, he was so happy to finally be with her like this he didn't know what to say. He kissed her neck to as she kissed his. He finally pulled back and stared down at her, tears were falling from his eyes.

"Steven…"

"Say it again. Jackie…say it again."

She was confused for a moment and then got it. She kissed him deeply and then pulled back to say. "I forgive you Steven."

He buried his face in her neck again and kissed below her ear. "God Jackie…I'm just so sorry for what I did. I really am. I love you."

"I know baby…I know. And it's over now. It's all over. Were together baby. Always. I love you too." She kissed the side of his face as he calmed himself.

He looked back at her and she pulled him down to rest his head on her chest. She stroked his hair as he fell asleep holding her.

"Its ok now baby…everything is ok."

They fell asleep that way, with Hyde resting on Jackie and they held each other all night.
