Ugh, it's been about a million years since I've updated anything. I'm so sorry. I have the shortest attention span and this story and "Meet Me At My Window" are starting to bore the crap out of me. Especially since I have too many other ideas I've already started to write down. But I told myself I would never abandon a story, so I'm going to finish these two before I do anything else, no matter how much I want to just give up on them. I think I'll wrap this one up in one or two more chapters. Hope you like it!

And just to warn you, there's a bit of J/H naughtiness at the end. I hope it makes up for the late update : D

Chapter 14

Previously…Jackie and Hyde are making out in the hallway and Donna moves away to Madison…

Donna set the last box down in her new apartment and stretched, satisfied. Finally, she was out of Point Place and ready to start a new life. Her classes started the next week, which gave her plenty of time to unpack and fix up the small apartment. She glanced curiously around her new home. Its walls were off-white and bare, the paint peeling slightly. But not too much. She could easily touch it up if she wanted to. The hardwood floor was cold and covered in a thin layer of dust, yet Donna could see that it was in good shape. She could set a couple of rugs down, hang up some pictures. That alone would make it more homey. She turned around slowly, thinking of other ways she could brighten the place up.

Eric.

Donna shook her head to empty the thought from her mind. The reason she moved here was to forget about him, to move on. He left her at the alter, he chose Africa over her. She wasn't going to miss him. With a sigh, Donna kicked off her shoes and collapsed onto the couch, too tired to do anything else. She decided it wouldn't hurt to start unpacking tomorrow. So she reached into her backpack, pulled out a book and leaned back on the pillows with a blanked wrapped around her legs.

"You should have visited weeks ago. I thought it was impossible to get that slut out of my room," Jackie said with a happy sigh.

Hyde chuckled into her neck and tightened his grip on her bare waist. "So that's why you were so happy to see me? Are you just using me as a sex slave to get this room all to yourself?"

"Mmm, that's exactly what I'm doing," she murmured softly. He smiled.

"Well, it worked."

"She's going to be so pissed at me tomorrow," Jackie said with a giggle. "Ryan's sicko roommate kept filming them going at it. That's why they're always in here."

Hyde grinned. "That sucks."

"Yeah, he makes copies of the tape and sells them for his drug money. He's kind of a crack whore."

Hyde furrowed his brow. "Oh. I think I met him."

Jackie grinned and sat up slightly. "Really? What did he do?"

"He was this tall, fat guy with really greasy hair. He kept asking me if I wanted to see some really good porn and rambled on about how hot the girl was. When I still said no, he started crying and screaming about a kitten." Hyde shook his head. "It was a little disturbing."

Jackie fell back onto the pillows and laughed. "God, that's hysterical," she choked out in her laughter. "That was Al. No one knows what the deal is with the kitten."

"Maybe it's his way of saying 'film,'" Hyde said with a smile, loving the way she looked, with her dark hair spread out against the pillow, her uncovered arms reaching out to him, her warm fingers tracing patterns on his naked chest. And her pink, smiling lips, just begging for a kiss. Well, who was he to turn down a woman in need? Hyde stroked the side of her face with his index finger, loving how unbelievably soft her skin was. He brought his head down slowly, keeping his eyes on hers for as long as possible. Their lips barely made contact, but it was enough to make him light headed. Jackie moaned beneath him and tried to force his head down further with her insistent hands. Hyde pulled away from her lips, choosing instead to blow lightly into her ear. He grinned at her squirming and did it again, softer this time.

"Steven," she breathed, almost begging him, although she couldn't seem to decide what she was begging for. He kissed the tender skin just below her earlobe, and Jackie's breathing sped up.

"Steven, please," she whimpered, clutching at his shoulders.

"Please what?" he murmured softly. That seemed to make her angry. And Hyde's smile grew.

She responded to his question by using all of the strength she had in her tiny body to flip him over onto his back. His eyes widened in surprise. Jackie straddled his hips and squeezed them firmly with her thighs. She smirked when the smile left his face and his eyes fell shut. Jackie leaned over him, pressing their torsos together, and scratched the back of his neck lightly with her fingernails. He groaned.

"You like to tease, huh Steven?" she whispered. His hands instinctively gripped her hips and he attempted to press her down onto his aching hard on. But she resisted, much to his frustration. Hyde was breathing rapidly now, mentally kicking himself for not just kissing her when she wanted him to. He had forgotten about the drastic measures she took to get revenge. Somewhere in the back of his mind, Hyde registered a dull pounding coming from somewhere outside of the room. And he didn't care to investigate what it was when his naked girlfriend took his earlobe into her mouth and dragged her teeth across it, making him forget to breath. She whispered again.

"How do you like it now?"

Alice stomped down the hall angrily, smoothing her hair down with the palms of her hands. "Ugh, I can't believe I actually let Ryan do that to me with freaking Al sitting five feet away!" she mumbled under her breath. She didn't bother fixing her blouse, which was buttoned incorrectly. Still muttering to herself, she stopped walking when she saw her door, the two numbers on it glowing as dully as ever. With a sigh, she brought her fist up and pounded on the wood.

"Jackie, open up!" she called, but there was no response. Ready to pull her hair out in aggravation, Alice knocked louder. "Okay, I know you're mad at me for bringing Ryan here all the time and keeping you awake and everything, but this petulant game isn't going to work! I know you can here me and you have a right to be, but Al really freaks me out! And I'm begging you to just—" Alice stopped short and pressed her ear to the wall. "What the hell is she doing in there?" she said to herself. Her eyes suddenly widened in disgust and she jumped away from the wall, which was emitting many loud and rhythmic thuds. Shaking her head in repulsion, Alice turned around. "Damn, her stupid boyfriend's been here for three hours and they're still going at it. I knew that girl had some issues." She gave a start when a loud scream, followed by an even louder thud, came from the room. Alice walked away a little faster.

Donna sat up quickly at the sound, startled. Fear filled her body as she looked around, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings. Her breathing returned to normal when she remembered she was not, in fact, in her room at home but in a box-filled apartment in Madison. She ran her fingers through her hair and glanced at the book she had been reading, which was now lying on the floor. It hadn't done much to distract her from the loneliness. She glanced at her watch, and sighed when she saw how late she had slept in. Suddenly, Donna gave a strangled scream when the loud noise that had woken her up moments before surfaced again. She rolled her eyes in annoyance when she realized it was just someone knocking on the door. She threw the blanket off of her legs and made her way to the sound from the couch, stumbling over some small boxes. The knocking persisted.

"I'm coming, I'm coming, keep your pants on," she mumbled. The angry redhead yanked open the door, expecting the landlord. But the person she was looking at was someone else entirely. Donna stared in shock.

"Eric?"

He smiled at her tiredly, with his hair a little shaggier than it had been when he left and a suitcase in his hand.

Did anyone else watch Laura Prepon's new show on Thursday? Because, oh my god, it was freaking hysterical. Which isn't good since it's supposed to be a drama. But the characters are so ridiculous, I can't take it seriously. "You seem to have forgotten which side of October Road you belong on!" Haha, I don't care how angry he is, that just cracked me up! Anyway…review, review, review!!!
