Jackie just sat on the couch staring blankly at the door. He said he loved her. He loved her. She couldn't believe it. She never thought he would say it, and she had come to accept that. He wasn't the kind of guy that admitted he had feelings, any feelings, period. He hadn't even admitted that he liked her for months. For a second, she thought he might say it last week after their big fight, when she finally told him how she felt. But instead he just yelled, "I 'm not saying it back."
Donna interrupted her stream of thoughts as she pounded in through the basement door and sat down next to Jackie on the couch.
"Donna!" she exclaimed, "You are never going to believe what just happened." Donna was about to make a smart remark about apple shampoo being taken off the market but Jackie cut her off.
"Steven just told me he loved me"
"What? Are you sure?" then, seeing the angry look on Jackie's face, she quickly added, "I mean he just doesn't seem like the kind of guy that would say that."
"I know. I think he really meant it too.although."
"What Jackie?"
"Well, when he said it, I couldn't believe my ears. I mean I have wanted him to say it for so long. I wanted to tell him how I felt for so long, but I just couldn't. When I finally told him how I felt last week and he didn't say it back I guess I just figured that was that. I mean, I knew he cared about me and I just accepted that he wasn't the kind of guy that talks about his feelings. Michael said he loved me all the time, but I always knew he didn't REALLY mean it. I guess that's why I needed to hear it all the time. To try to convince myself it was true. Anyway, when Steven said it I couldn't believe it, so I said 'What did you say?' and he said 'nothing' and just ran out of here."
"Well, nothing is better than 'I love cake.' At least he admitted that he loved you first."
"Oh Donna. I can't believe this is finally happening. It is a Valentines miracle!"
Donna rolled her eyes, got up and headed for the stairs. Eric wasn't going to believe this.
