Chapter eight: A Spare Blouse and a Dirty Subconscious
Jackie stared down at the board, Steven is down to his king, while she has her king, queen, and both knights. She tittered with excitement and looked expectantly at him "Checkmate?"
Hyde stared at the board, impressed, and smiled proudly at the pixie sitting in front of him "Queen and knight checkmate, you're coming along nicely."
Jackie screamed with glee and threw herself on him, wrapping her legs around his waist and hugging him tightly. His strong arms pulled her closer and she buried her face on the crook of his neck, inhaling his intoxicating scent. She wanted nothing more than to kiss him right now, if things keep going the way they're going she might have a mental breakdown soon. He's too irresistible.
She pulled her head back and stared deeply into his baby blue eyes, and he stared back just as intensely. The tension between the two was palpable, but neither of them wanted to break the contact. It felt too good.
He pressed his forehead against hers, their noses were touching, and their lips were mere inches apart. She could feel his breath fanning across her face, and she moved one of her hands into the nape of his neck. She ran her fingers softly against his curls, and his breath hitched. He closed his eyes and brushed his lips against hers.
She felt her heart skipping a beat, and she could tell he was just as nervous as she was. He delicately and hesitantly brushed his lips against hers again, but before he could pull back, she captured his lips with her own.
The kiss was gentle. She was taking her time, she waited too long to do this, so she wanted to enjoy it. Steven seemed to have a different idea though, he lightly bit on her lower lip to see how she'd react, she opened her mouth to grant him full access, and his tongue entered the equation.
He was kissing her passionately, and she felt like she stumbled into heaven. One of his hands was cupping her ass, the other one was in her back, supporting her.
He stumbled through the basement without breaking the kiss, sitting on his chair and pulling her into his lap. The hand that was previously on her back moved to her head, his fingers buried in her hair.
They pulled apart, trying to catch their breaths. He pecked her lips a few times, looking adoringly at her and smiling sweetly.
"I've been wanting to do this for a really long time" He said, cupping her cheek with one hand.
"Me too" She said, smiling at him. She was about to kiss him again when he interrupted her.
"Look, Jackie… I know it's probably too soon but…" He lowered his voice and stared deeply into her eyes "I love you"
Jackie's eyes filled with tears, and she beamed at him "Oh Steven… I love you too"
He pressed his lips against hers again, and this time, the kiss was ferocious. She moaned when their tongues made contact again, and he pulled her even closer to him.
He broke the kiss and went straight to her neck, kissing and nipping all the way through her jaw.
"Steven!" She moaned, running her fingers down his back, making him shiver. She grinded her hips into his, and her eyes widened in awe when she felt the bulge in his pants. She grinded into him again, eliciting a groan from him.
"Easy there, doll" He said, running his fingers lightly through her cheeks and kissing her face. First he kissed her forehead, the tip of her nose, her lips, her jaw, and just when he was about to kiss her earlobe, she felt him whispering into her ear "I want to make this last, I love you"
She didn't even have the time to say it back, because he kissed her passionately again and removed her shirt. She moaned again when she felt him tweaking her nipple delicately.
"Oh, Steven!"
"Jackie…" He groaned, removing his own shirt "Jackie…"
"Jackie!" She heard Donna's voice, and she cursed the universe. Of course it was just a stupid dream, it was too good to be true!
Jackie buried her face on the pillow and groaned. Time to face her shitty reality. The reality where Steven doesn't actually want her.
"Jackie!" Donna called her again, louder this time, and she looked at her lumberjack friend, sending her a death glare. Donna slept over last night, because Bob and Midge were fighting again.
"You just interrupted the most amazing dream! I should kill you" Jackie said
Donna giggled "Yeah? It must've been a pretty awesome dream, because I could swear I've heard you moaning Hyde's name at least a couple times"
Jackie's face immediately reddened with pure embarrassment, making Donna laugh even more.
"I didn't know it was possible for virgins to have dirty dreams" Donna commented, and Jackie threw a pillow at her before leaving the bed.
"Well, neither did I" Jackie replied "And it wasn't that dirty, I mean, there was no…"
Donna interrupted her friend, still laughing "Ew, Jackie! I don't want to hear all the details about your dirty dream with Hyde!"
Jackie looked at Donna and pouted "You shouldn't have woken me up" She mumbled, frustrated
"Well, I kind of had to, we have to be at school in an hour" Donna answered and Jackie groaned again, separating her outfit for the day
"Crap, I forgot about that" Jackie said "I wish it was summer already"
"Just a couple more weeks and we'll have three months to do whatever we want to" Donna said, smiling
"And after that we're going to be seniors! Can you believe that?" Jackie grinned excitedly "God, I feel old."
Donna chuckled at her friend's dramatics "Just go get ready, I think Maria made us breakfast"
Jackie widened her eyes and smiled "Oh my God, I hope she made us that cheese bread thingy!"
"You mean 'Pão de queijo'?" Donna asked
"Yeah, that! I love that thing!"
"I'll go check, but will you please get ready? I don't want to miss first period because you took too long to dress up"
"Okay" Jackie said, smiling sweetly as Donna left the room.
Alone with her own thoughts, Jackie started to wonder what the hell was happening to her. She knows she has a pretty huge crush on Steven, he makes her feel things she never felt before. But she didn't know her crush on him was that strong, she freaking dreamed about him! And they were about to do dirty things in that dream, things that she's never done before!
She didn't know it was possible for virgins to have dirty dreams. Hell, she didn't know it was possible to feel so good because of a dream!
She closed her eyes and tried to replay a few moments of her dream on her mind, she and Steven were playing chess, then she hugged him, then they were kissing, and then he told her he loved her. And she said it back! She sighed dejectedly, maybe this isn't just a crush anymore. Maybe it never was.
"Donna, I swear to God, that bitch is planning something." Jackie said, sitting on their regular lunch table.
"Yeah, I think so too" Donna agreed, glancing at Julie, who was sitting on the other side of the cafeteria with Kelso and was staring at them with a smug smile.
"You know, her face is annoying me" Jackie commented, glaring at Julie "I wish I could pound her, I think it would relax me even more than a circle"
"Oh yes" Fez said with a pervert smile, and both Donna and Jackie frowned at him
"Hey, I thought we already talked about this." Hyde said, smirking slyly at Jackie "If you're going to get in a girl fight, you need to tell me first, so I can bring a video camera, a whistle and a big tank of mud"
Jackie blushed, she can't get that dream she had about him out of her mind. She wanted to curse herself for even thinking about it, but she kept wondering how his kisses would feel like, if they would be as good as the ones she dreamt about. She quickly shook herself out of it though, and feigned annoyance at his comment.
"You guys are just a bunch of perverts" She said, rolling her eyes
"Hey, I can show you how much of a pervert I can be if you'd like" Hyde teased her, and she threw one of her tater tots at him, making him laugh.
"Remind me again, why does she hate you so much?" Eric asked, noticing how Julie was still staring at their table
"I don't really know" Jackie answered "I'm used with girls hating me and all, because I'm too cute and the other girls get jealous, but Julie seems to hate me in a whole other level"
"It's because she sees you as her competition" Donna replied "She wanted to be head cheerleader, but you were chosen instead."
"Yes, and also, Kelso keeps talking about how hot you are in front of her" Fez said
"Almost every girl is hot in Kelso's eyes. And he talks about hot girls all the time, I doubt Jackie is the only one he mentions to Julie" Hyde said, getting a little tense. He knows Jackie is hot, but that doesn't mean he likes to discuss that with other people. In fact, whenever he sees Kelso or Fez drooling all over her, he feels a strong urge to punch them. He knows it's wrong to feel like this, Jackie is far from his, but damn, he can't control his thoughts. He silently prayed for someone to change the subject, he doesn't want to hear Fez talking about Jackie.
Jackie looked up at him, and she can't hide the fact that her ego was a little bruised by his statement. She knows she's hot, and she knows that he thinks she's hot, he's said it before. But still!
"You don't think I'm hot?" The question came out of her lips before she could think properly about it, and she saw Donna trying to repress a laugh. She would kill that lumberjack later.
Hyde froze. What the hell kind of question is that? Of course she's hot, hell, she's the hottest chick he's ever seen. Because of her, he takes only cold showers now, that's how hot she is. He silently cursed himself, how is he supposed to answer her question? He can't tell her that he wants to kiss her every time he's near her, he can't tell her that he thinks about her often, he can't tell her exactly how hot she is, because the real answer would be so detailed that it would probably make her uncomfortable.
"Huh… of course you're hot…" He starts stumbling with his words, then when he sees that victorious smile on her lips "I mean… whatever" He scoffs, redirecting his attention to his food. What a fucking idiot.
"I think you are very hot, Jackie" Fez said
Jackie looked at him and smiled "Thank you, Fez"
Fez smiled perversely and looked expectantly at her "Now, can I please touch your breasts?" He asked
Jackie kicked him from under the table the same time Hyde laid a punch in his arm.
"Ai!" Fez whines, rubbing his injured arm "I asked this time!" He said, pouting, while Donna, Jackie and Hyde glared at him.
Eric was trying hard not to laugh. Seeing Hyde and Jackie was better than watching Gilligan's Island, Hyde being nervous and twitchy is hilarious. He has to admit, sometimes he gets annoyed, because Jackie and Hyde clearly like each other but are too dumb to do realize that, he even thought about talking to Hyde. But moments like these are way too funny to watch.
"Hey" Eric said, smiling "Your first joint assault, how lovely"
He snickered when he saw Hyde glaring at him and Jackie blushing.
Free entertainment, man.
"God, I can't believe this!" Jackie whined, walking down the school's hallway with Donna.
Fez had just spilled his chocolate milk all over her pretty new shirt! Lucky for him, Jackie Burkhart is always prepared for the worst. She keeps a spare pair of jeans, a blouse and underwear on her locker in the cheerleaders locker room in case an emergency like this happens.
She was lucky no one other than Steven, Eric and Donna saw the scene. Of course that Steven and Eric both laughed, which annoyed Jackie beyond belief, so she kicked their shins, mumbled something about getting her spare blouse and stormed out, dragging Donna with her.
"Jackie?" Donna called her friend "Isn't the locker room, like, locked for now?"
"Yeah, only Kat has the keys" Jackie said and stopped in front of the door "But I've got something up my sleeve. I'll unlock this, watch the hallway and nudge me if you see someone coming."
Jackie removed a bobby pin out of her hair and bended it, inserting it in the door lock and unlocking it in just a few seconds.
"When the hell have you learned how to do that?" Donna asked, staring at her friend with awe
"Steven taught me" Jackie said nonchalantly, opening the door and throwing her new destroyed bobby pin in the trash.
"Huh, so he taught you how to play chess, how to burn people, and how to be a little criminal" Donna said, smiling "You might as well start wearing sunglasses indoors, he's turning you into a female version of him"
Jackie looked indignant at her friend "Excuse me? I would never wear sunglasses indoors! That is a crime against fashion! And he's not turning me into him, he's scruffy and I'm gorgeous and classy" She finished, crossing her arms
Donna laughed "Him being scruffy didn't stopped you from having a huge crush on him, did it?"
Jackie blushed, and dragged Donna inside the locker room. "Shush! Someone can hear you!"
Donna rolled her eyes "Jackie, no one's here"
Jackie huffed and started to search for the keys to her locker, she smiled when she finally found it "Well, still, I don't want…" She stopped suddenly when she opened her locker and saw what was inside.
"Donna" Jackie said, lowering her voice "Is this what I think it is?"
Donna widened her eyes when she got to see what was in Jackie's locker "Holy shit Jackie, how did that end up there?"
"I don't know!" Jackie answered "It's not mine!"
"I know it's not yours, Jackie! Someone definitely planted these" Donna said
"Oh my God… She wouldn't" Jackie mumbled, laughing nervously "She hates me, but she wouldn't do this, she's not that low. But that would explain her smug smiles today, and how she kept staring at me like I'm her prey or something… Oh, the audacity..."
Donna could feel the rage radiating from Jackie's body, she would've felt bad for Julie if she hadn't done such a shitty thing "Jackie, I think Kelso's girlfriend planted drugs in your locker"
There was a huge ziploc bag on her locker, filled with tiny transparent bags containing all sorts of drugs: pot, pills, acid… Jackie was shocked to say the least.
"What the hell am I supposed to do?" Jackie asked desperately "I'm not even supposed to be here right now!"
"We're flushing these things down the toilet, that's what we're going to do!" Donna replied "Then we're going straight to the principal and report this!"
"What if he doesn't believe us? What if he thinks we're lying?" Jackie asked, feeling genuine fear. This could ruin her life.
"Jackie, we're gotta do something!" Donna argued
"Okay" Jackie said, taking a deep breath to calm herself "Here's what we're going to do: We are going to flush those things down the toilet first. Julie is probably going to try and public humiliate me at practice, if I know that bitch, she's probably bringing the principal to search my locker in front of everyone later today, so there can be absolutely no evidence that there were any drugs in here"
Donna nodded, grabbing the drugs and heading to the toilet with Jackie. They flushed all the baggies. Jackie made sure that no drug was left. Donna turned to look at her friend and asked "Now what?"
"Now, when the principal sees that there's no drugs, he's going to tell Julie off for wasting his time. After that I'll talk to Kat and I'll make sure she kicks Julie off the squad" Jackie said "And I need you here Donna, someone's gotta hold me back, otherwise I will kill that bitch"
"What makes you think that Kat is actually kicking Julie off the squad if you ask her?" Donna questioned
"Julie's been pissing her off for weeks now. She's just waiting for an excuse to kick her off" Jackie answered, taking her spare blouse out of her locker "Remind me of buying Fez a big bag of candy later, if he hadn't spilled chocolate milk all over my shirt we wouldn't catch this, and God knows what would happen"
"I know what would happen!" Donna said, trying to control her anger. That little blonde bitch is going down. "You would've been expelled, you would probably face criminal charges, ruining your chances of ever getting into college! I'm not holding you back because I want to kill her too! She's just going to get away with this?!"
"Believe me, she's not" Jackie replied while she changed her top "I'll plan something, that bitch is going to regret ever being born. No one messes with me and gets away with it"
Donna looked at the tiny girl and smiled. She knew that whatever plan Jackie comes up with would be brilliant.
A/N: Even though this is not a very big chapter, I loved writing it. I just love the sexual tension, the awkward moments and the flirting between them.
I know this chapter ended with a cliffhanger but I promise I'll post the next chapter this week, since I wrote most of it months ago.
