What happened to that kiss?

Jackie drove home after a late sale and found Eric sitting on the hood of his Vista Cruiser. She didn't hear him in her head which could be a good or bad sign. After parking the Lincoln, she walked around the hedge and smiled when he looked over at her. Now that was the look of someone who actually wanted to see her!
She slipped out of her heels and perched on the edge of the clean part of the hood. "We need to talk." She said reservedly. Eric slid down and put his shoes on the bumper. "Yeah, we do."
"I'll start." Jackie offered. "I know you persuaded Steven to come see me and kiss me AFTER the plaid incident, but what else did you do?"
Eric frowned, "What? I didn't do anything but nudge him in your direction. Everything else was him. What did YOU do to me and Donna?"
Jackie was taken aback. "I only persuaded her to call you. Why, what happened?"
Eric looked at her multi-hued eyes and knew she was telling the truth. "We kissed. I mean she kissed me and….it felt like nothing. There was no feeling in it. Do you think The Event ruined our relationship?"
Jackie exclaimed, "Me too! Steven kissed me and blah! Nothing, no zip no spark – it was the most boring kiss! I thought you had done something because I made you sing Feelings."
Eric could laugh about it now. "No, I actually sang pretty good. Not my song of choice but I can do Morris Albert any day of the week." Jackie laughed. "You did Mama Mia so well I almost gave you a standing ovation."
Eric smiled. "Okay, back to my question. Do you think The Event ruined our relationships with Donna and Hyde?"
Jackie rubbed her eye. "I think we need to test this out on other people. Like if you kissed somebody else, how would it affect you or not affect you and is this new? Because the last time you kissed me it was really good."
Eric rubbed his knuckles on his shirt and grinned, "As I remember, you weren't so bad yourself. Maybe it was after you and I kissed that it changed for whatever reason."
Why did Jackie's exotic flowery perfume smell so good? That was distracting. "Um…maybe we need to nudge them less…." He could feel the heat radiating off her bare skin in that soft silky dress. Were her shoulders always such a light tan color?
"I don't think we nudged them too much." Jackie disagreed.
Wow, Eric's green eyes were really dark in the shadows like this. "What would happen if they were both in the same room and we did the Jedi on both at the same time?" Damn, his hands looked so strong and his long fingers would feel so good on her….Crap! Stop thinking like that. Still she was mesmerized by his hands.
Jackie found herself leaning forwards as Eric closed the gap between them, his fingers touched her chin and her hand went into his hair. Without a second thought, she brushed her lips against his and his immediate response had her shaking with an adrenaline rush! Her whole body was quaking. Those long fingers curled around her hip as he licked the inside seam of her lip in a kiss that sizzled.
Eric hadn't experienced a kiss that came as natural as this super hot meeting of lips. Her hand tugged at his hair, keeping their lips locked and was extremely arousing. Jackie's curvy hips were just underneath that silky little dress and he just wanted to brush away the fabric and see if her warm skin was just as soft.
She moaned into his mouth as he pulled her closer to him on the hood. He dared press a palm onto the naked skin above her knee and it was just and warm and soft as he imagined. He couldn't believe how turned on he was!
Jackie would have never pegged Eric for such a passionate guy. He knew how to kiss! His tongue rubbed slowly against hers and she trembled. His hand was on her knee and she loved it…why? How could a car hood kiss be so hot? She didn't care anymore, she just wanted another.
The kiss was rudely interrupted by the familiar sound of Hyde's El Camino coming up the street. Shaken, Jackie broke the kiss. She looked into those deep green eyes, "I don't think we need to test this on other people." She said huskily, "I think this was proof enough that you are hot. I mean we are hot. It had to be the way they kissed."
Eric tried to still his beating heart. When he saw the car pulling in, he quickly removed his hands so it would only look like to people talking. However, Eric's hair was mussed and he had lipstick all over his face. Jackie had swollen lips and a dreamy look in her eyes. It almost looked like they had sex!
Hyde climbed out of his car not expecting to see Jackie sitting with Eric in Donna's coveted spot on the Vista Cruiser. Why did Forman look like he had just got out of bed? "Forman!" He waved in a greeting. Mentally, Eric suggested Hyde just grab a beer and hurry down to the basement. Jeannie and the Major were waiting for him.
"I'll catch you guys later. Gonna relax before supper." That said; Hyde actually skipped through the kitchen doors. Jackie laughed, "Did you do that?"
Eric grinned, "I planted the beer and TV thought but the skipping was all Hyde." Jackie giggled and Eric started laughing. Jackie touched his cheek, "One more for good luck."
That's how Donna found them. Tangled arms and legs were half on and half off the Vista Cruiser. Jackie heard Donna coming and suggested she ask Red what he knew about carburetors. She muttered something about the pair of them losing another bet….Jackie grinned against Eric's mouth. "If we don't stop, we're going to have to get a room."
Eric kissed the tip of her little nose. "Not a bad idea."
Jackie smiled shyly, "I'm kidding. I live with Donna. I can't sleep with you."
Eric tugged a curly lock of brunette hair. "What are we going to do about this?" Eric loved the exhilaration! He loved the way his heart sped up when she kissed him or how his blood rushed to his head. It was like he was on a Jackie drug.
In kind, Jackie loved the way her stomach dropped. The infatuation was heart stopping and something she had missed. The touching, the hot breath against her neck…she needed that like she needed air and Eric was good at it!
In a second of sanity, Eric pulled away and smiled, "I can't have Red come out and find us making out on the car. The patio chairs yeah, but not on a car." Jackie laughed, "I understand. Shall we go to the basement and combine powers?"
"I like the way you think." Eric chuckled.
"Then you should know what I did to Michael over the telephone!" Jackie giggled.

Kelso and Fez were sitting on the sofa while Donna was looking at the July edition of Tiger Beat magazine again. Kelso remarked, "Didn't we do this last August?"
Donna laughed, "We do this all the time. I just don't have any homework right now or I wouldn't be here." Fez looked bored. "It's just not the same without candy. I don't want it anymore."
Kelso looked at Hyde who was coming out of the spare room. "Yeah and I went to the doctor and he said I DON'T have any medical condition so look at all the time I was NOT DOING IT. What a bad summer."
Donna rolled her eyes. "But Brooke started dating you more and you have Betsy every other weekend."
Kelso reverted to a puppy dog, happy and excited, "Yeah, I love my baby girl. She's awesome." Hyde sat in his usual chair. "Have any of you guys noticed something strange about Forman and Jackie?"
Fez tapped his chin. "They don't argue anymore and I miss that."
Kelso nodded, "Yeah, the burns in this basement have really been unsatisfactory." Donna smacked his arm, "No you tool. They're different."
Fez pointed a finger in the air and said, "Aaahhh….you two are jealous because they don't worship you anymore. Now you can join the Friendless Frisky Fez club. It's lonely when no one worships you."
Kelso agreed, "I know! If I didn't have all those chicks looking at me all the time I'd be really depressed….like Hyde."
Hyde leaned over and smacked Kelso on the other arm. "I'm NOT depressed." He looked at his other three friends. "There's something odd about them – it's like their having a relationship without sex.'
Donna replied, "Can they do that?"
Fez nodded his head, "They do it in prison all the time! "
Kelso looked impressed. "They do IT in prison?"
Donna huffed, "Those are called conjugal visits and you have to be married you dill hole! Why are we talking about Eric and Jackie? Why aren't we having a circle?"
Hyde shrugged. "I don't know. I haven't had one in about a month. Didn't feel the need…wait a minute! This all started with that Star Wars tape Kelso brought over."
Fez concurred, "That's when I stopped eating candy!"
Kelso agreed, "And I started dating Brooke again!"
Donna looked at Hyde, "That's when they became friends." Hyde looked at his basement pals. "That's when this shit started happening."
