AN: I'm soo sorry this took so long to be posted. I just started med school so it has been quite a crazy week. If you haven't read my profile, I promise, this story is complete. I finish them before I post them because I hate unfinished stories. If you just bear with me I will try to post as much as I can with the little free time I have.
"Because you're the spoiled princess and I'm the badass rebel. We're meant to fight."
Her body tensed.
"So then why are we together if you feel that way?"
"Because we want to be together."
This seemed to relax her as she leaned against him.
"Can we try not to fight anymore? I'll try to be less sensitive if you stop being so careless about what you say," she offered.
"Yeah, okay doll," he agreed.
He kissed her forehead once. "Let's just go to sleep. We have to head out early tomorrow."

Hyde woke up the next morning to find Jackie still out cold. Silently he slid out of the bed and went into the bathroom. He started the shower then brushed his teeth while the water warmed up. As he brushed he looked at his reflection.
He shook his head and rubbed his beard, the one thing Jackie absolutely hated about him. Before he could rethink it he grabbed a razor and shaving cream. He lathered the cream on his face then shaved the beard he had grown over the summer away.
After his shower he dressed as quietly as possible. When he was in his jeans and t-shirt he grabbed a piece of paper from the nightstand and jotted Jackie a quick note telling her he was picking up breakfast and he'd be back soon. As he was setting it on the pillow, Jackie stirred.
She looked up at him with sleepy eyes but they quickly lit up and she beamed at him.
"You shaved."
"Yeah I did."
She reached out and touched his now smooth skin. She then kissed his cheek then his lips then his other cheek. Finally she pulled away and glanced down at the pillow then his dressed body.
"Are you leaving?" she asked her eyes wide with fear.
Hyde leaned forward and kissed her forehead.
"I'll be back soon."
"Where are you going?"
"To get breakfast," he said.
"Liar."
Hyde shook his head with a smirk. She was too freaking good at reading him.
"Maybe."
Jackie shifted to sit up as she looked up at him.
"So then where are you going?" she demanded, a hint of anger and fear in her voice.
Hyde bit the inside of his lip while he considered. If he lied again she'd be pissed but he didn't want to get her hopes up. Finally he decided the truth was the best option.
"I'm going down to a mechanic shop to see if I can get a job there. I saw it yesterday. I figured one last shot," he shrugged.
"Really? Can I come too?"
"Why?"
"Well Steven, if you remember, I can fix cars just as well as you can, if not better."
Hyde chuckled but she had a point. She was good with cars.
"Fine. Get dressed then. I'll give you five minutes."
"Five minutes is not enough time," she challenged.
"It'll be plenty time. Just put on jeans and a shirt, put your hair up, and we can go."
"What about my makeup? Plus I'm not going to wear my hair up to go get a job. It looks much, much better if you wear your hair down," she informed him, getting up out of the bed.
Hyde pulled her to him. She grinned up at him then brought her lips to his. She pulled back then leaned forward to peck his lips again.
"Go get dressed," Hyde forced out.
He wanted to continue with where this was going but then he'd never get to the mechanic to try and get a job.
"Fine. But I get ten minutes."
"No. Five."
"Eight?"
"Five."
"Six?"
"Five."
"Fine," she huffed. "Five minutes."
Hyde slapped her ass as she spun to walk away, causing her to yelp and jump forward. She shot him a dirty look as she walked to the dresser where they had started keeping their clothes. She pulled off the flannel pajamas she had slept in the night before.
Hyde laid back on the bed and watched her dress. He'd always thought watching her undress was sexy but watching her pull on her clothes, especially after they had sex, was so fucking sexy. He never would have thought watching her putting her clothes on would be that amazing.
"Watching me dress again?" she giggled.
He nodded.
"Perv," she teased.
Hyde's eyebrows shot up as she passed the bed to get to the bathroom. He reached out and pulled her into his lap. He kissed her. She wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Your face is soft," she smiled, rubbing her face against his cheek.
He groaned and pulled away.
"Damn Jackie. Way to kill the mood."
"I'm not killing the mood. I like it. It's a good thing."
"Soft is for chicks."
Jackie bit his jaw bone, her teeth and tongue grazing over the skin. She moved up to his ear, sucking it into her mouth. She pulled back, her lips grazing over his ear as his breathing hitched.
"Do you like this?"
"Yeah," he breathed.
"I couldn't do this with your beard. See how much better it is without a beard?"
Hyde nodded as she wrapped her lips over his jaw again, nibbling at the skin. He groaned as she moved to the other side.
"Damn Jackie."
He let her continue as she moved her mouth to the underside of his chin, sucking on the skin there. No one had ever found that spot on his neck before and god it felt good. She was so good with her mouth and tongue.
"Alright doll, enough of that," Hyde managed, pulling back.
"Fine but that definitely didn't count as part of my five minutes," she insisted, pecking his lips as she climbed off his lap.
Hyde nodded in agreement. That had been way too great to punish her for it. She was going to have to do it later when they had some more time. He was going to let her explore his neck a little bit more when they got back. Or well tonight maybe when they had a little more time if this didn't pan out and they had to leave.
"For that I'll give you five more."
"Aren't you generous?"
"As a matter of fact I am."
She laughed then walked into the bathroom. Three minutes later she walked back into the room with her hair up and some of her makeup on. She applied her lip gloss then turned to him.
"Alright, let's go."
"Alright."
He took her hand and walked out of the hotel. The mechanic was just down the block so they walked there. Jackie teased Hyde about his 'soft' face the entire walk there. Hyde smacked her ass as they reached the door to the mechanic.
"Will you stop doing that?" she hissed.
"Hey, if you didn't make fun of me and if you didn't have such a great ass we wouldn't be in this position."
"Thank you!"
Hyde chuckled as he pulled open the door for her. Only Jackie would pull the 'great ass' compliment out of that and thank him.
