Chapter Three: everybody except Kelso
Jackie was staring up at the ceiling of her bedroom; it was amazing how many things she hadn't noticed. The way the light bounced off the window and hit the ceiling created a picturesque rainbow that danced around the room. Jackie was captivated by its beauty but was pulled out of her thoughts by the ringing of her telephone.
"Hello." She said, her voice didn't convey any interest for the person on the other end of the line.
"Hi Jackie" Kelso said but Jackie's voice stayed the same.
"Yeah... so why are you calling?" She asked while twirling the cord in between her fingertips. She leaned forward and grabbed the picture of Steven off her desk.
"Uh yeah... I was wondering now that I've come back and all we could fool around." Kelso said, in his mixed up mind what he had just said made sense.
Jackie couldn't believe what she had just heard. She didn't know whether to throw a fit or giggle hysterically at Kelso.
"Michael, read my lips, and I'll speak slowly so you can understand me. I AM NEVER GOING OUT WITH YOU AGAIN o.k." Now Jackie's voice was going towards the anger option.
"Uh... O.k., wait are you sure don't wanna fool around? I picked up some tricks in California that you might enjoy."
"Aghhhhhhh!" And with that she slammed the phone down. Men. Were they all born jerks or does it take years of practice. God I wish Steven would just talk to me.
She stared at the photo and placed it back down on the bed. She got up and went to draw a bath. The heat was worse than yesterday and all Jackie wanted to do was cool off and have some alone time. And in the bath was the only place where her mind wasn't littered with thoughts of either Steven or Michael.
Jackie got out of her bath and grabbed the white towel that was hanging off of the rack. As Jackie wrapped the towel around her she felt the warm heat of the towel radiate through her skin. She loved the sensation of heat against her cool skin.
She walked into her bedroom and let out a squeal of surprise as she saw Steven sitting on her bed. She pulled the towel closer to her and walked to her dresser.
"Steven, What the hell are you doing here? And how did you get in?" The questions all came out in a jumble, as Jackie was really pleased to see Steven. But she hid that from him with bravado of false anger.
"I broke in." He said bluntly studying her face for a reaction.
"You what?" The anger began to rise in her voice.
"Well not exactly, you left your window open and I climbed through to see if your o.k."
Jackie's features began to soften. He really does care about me A smile came across her face and she sat down beside Hyde on the bed.
"You looovveee me." She teased.
"Shut up!" He said as he lifted his hand and touched her cheek. She instantly lent in and captured his mouth in a soft, sweet kiss. Her hands were caressing his back as his tongue lightly played with hers in their mouths. Hyde pulled Jackie down towards him and she climbed onto his lap, completely forgetting about the small towel she had wrapped round her body. Hyde lifted his hands and began searching for the end of the towel. She arched her back as she felt his hands glide over the smooth skin of her shoulders. Jackie deepened the kiss and longed for the taste of Hyde's lips.
Eric and Donna walked up to the Burkhart mansion. Donna had been here a million times before but she felt something different about the house, it felt isolated and cold. The house's appearance that usually reminded Donna of a house you'd find in a magazine now looked liked it hadn't seen a maid in months.
Donna pressed the doorbell. She could hear Eric complaining about how much he didn't want to be there and would rather just spend their free time making out.
"Look, Donna I don't see why we have to visit the princess of darkness" He looked at his watch. "Anyway it's daytime she's probably torturing poor souls in hell." He said matter of factly.
"Eric, I haven't seen her for a while and I'm worried, and would you stop with the devil remarks there getting really old."
Eric tried knocking.
"God my grandmother can knock harder than that." She pushed Eric to the side and knocked really loudly.
"Well I can see someone's sexually frustrated. Donna it was too long for you to go with out the Eric love."
"Yeah if you call 5 minutes and Popsicle love." Donna teased.
"Hey I'll have you know that lots of women have appreciated the Eric love." Eric said wounded.
Donna walked over to Eric and put her arm around him. "I know."
She and Eric then started banging on the door again.
Jackie and Hyde were on the bed frantically making out. Hyde loved the taste of her and he just couldn't get enough. Her arms were wrapped around his neck; she guided his lips to the base of her neck. He slowly bit and sucked. His hands were stroking her thighs and slowly pulled them up higher. He was just about to pull up the tiny towel that covered her body but was distracted when Jackie pulled away.
"Jackie." Hyde groaned.
"I heard someone knocking downstairs, I have to go see who it is."
He held her for a second. She looked at him strangely
"Do you hear anything now?" he said while trying to kiss her neck.
"Steven it might..." She trailed off because the sensations that were being caused were too powerful. Instead she leaned forward and attacked Hyde's lips again.
"Look if it was important they would knock again. Right?" Jackie simply nodded but as if on cue another set of knocks was heard. Jackie got up and went to change into a robe.
"A hmm" She coughed. Hyde turned around while she put the robe on however Hyde had a full view from the mirror he was now facing. Jackie walked over to Hyde and lightly kissed his lips.
"I'll be right back, don't go any where." With that she left the room and retreated to the stairs.
Donna and Eric were about to leave when the front door opened.
"Jackie what the hell, I've been ringing the damn bell for like ten minutes plus I knocked on the door like five times." Donna yelled as they walked into the living room.
"Ha, I should of known it was you knocking and not Eric as his wrists are too delicate."
"Hey they are not delicate Donna tell her."
"Eric! Anyway Jackie we were worried about you."
"Just for the record Donna was the one worried, I really don't care." Eric butted in.
Jackie gave Eric a hard look but then faced Donna.
"Worried. What about I'm fine, don't I seem fine to you?" Jackie said quickly.
"Er yeah I guess. Anyway I have hardly seen you since I got back, and before you say I have do note that the day I came back doesn't count." Donna said as she sat on the couch.
"Oh my god, has it been a week already. It's just that I've been really busy with Ste...." And before Jackie knew it she had almost said Steven. Fuck, what the hell am I gonna do. O.k. stay calm I'm sure they didn't even pick up on it. Shit.
Donna stood up and Eric had a horrified expression on his face.
"What!!!!!!!!!" Donna and Eric yelled.
"Umm. Yeah my new boyfriend...........Stephano." She lied.
"Who!!" Again both Donna and Eric said at the same time.
"He's Italian, and an exchange student." Jackie started pacing the floor.
"Really and what's his second name?" Donna asked.
God why did Donna have to be such a nosey lumberjack.
"Errrr."
"There is no exchange student is there Jackie?" Eric stated.
"Fine. No there isn't. I think its time I told you that Steven and I have been having a fling for the whole summer."
"What!!!!!!" The baffled looks had returned on both Donna and Eric's faces.
"Oh my god, you taint everything you Yoko." Eric said. "Eric...Wow Jackie I thought you and Hyde hated each other."
"Well we don't. Look I know this is a shock but..."
"Shock is an understatement Jackie." Eric said.
"Well Steven and I like each other so you guys are just gonna have to try and handle it." Jackie finished.
"This is like so bizarre and super weird." Donna said.
"Well I need to go home now, Donna."
They both headed to the door and left. Jackie just stood there and heard a shuffling upstairs. She ran up the stairs. She now had to tell Steven that their secret is not so secret anymore. Jackie was now full of doubt as she wondered if Steven still wanted to be with her now that Eric and Donna know and probably soon Fez. Jackie put a brave face on and walked into her bedroom.
Donna and Eric sat on the couch just staring into space. Neither of them could fathom the idea of Hyde and Jackie as a couple. Donna got up to get a soda.
"I can't believe it." Eric said.
"I know but in a really weird way it kinda makes sense." Donna replied.
"How so Donna?" Eric's voice rose a bit. Donna sat back down next to Eric and opened the soda. She took a sip.
"It's just that Hyde always hated Jackie and Jackie always hated Hyde...."
Eric waited for Donna to go on because the explanation for this freak accident had to be good.
"Don't you think it's funny that they hated each other without even knowing the other? It's like whenever they insulted each other there was a er passion."
"Donna Hyde's only passion is to burn, it's like what he does." Eric reasoned.
"Yeah, but he always picked on Jackie and you know what they say."
"No Donna I don't know what they say."
"That opposites attract. Plus he was always nice when she needed him. Like when he took her to prom." Donna felt that she had won that argument.
"Well that is true."
At that moment Fez burst through the door he was holding a great big bag of candy.
"What's true?" Fez asked.
"Err" Donna stuttered
"That Hyde and Jackie are going out." Eric spat out.
"Eric!" Donna said while hitting him.
"What, but they hate each other?" Fez said. It was obvious that he couldn't grasp the idea anymore than the rest could.
"I know!" Eric shouted.
"I can not believe this." Fez said while walking over to the freezer. " That son of a bitch Jackie was supposed to be mine."
"I'm sorry buddy. If it's any consolation it wouldn't have worked out between you two I mean your foster parents being Christian and she being the devil, only could have meant disaster." Eric laughed.
"Aww Fez, Eric you can be such a dill hole."
"Donna don't worry maybe Eric is right. Ai but what about Kelso."
"Hyde's his best friend he has to tell him, it's only fair. So Eric you have to keep your mouth shut." Donna ordered.
Eric turned around. "Why me, Fez is the one who can't keep a secret."
"Whatever."
Jackie was staring up at the ceiling of her bedroom; it was amazing how many things she hadn't noticed. The way the light bounced off the window and hit the ceiling created a picturesque rainbow that danced around the room.
