Chapter Nine: The relapse
It was about nine in the evening and Hyde was only getting into the Forman's basement. Since he saw Jackie and Kelso in the Hub earlier Hyde had been walking around Point Place aimlessly. He honestly didn't know what to do. Hyde was soaked to the bone, it was still raining. Hyde walked around the basement looking for a towel and a set of fresh clothes to change into. He ran his hand through his soaking wet hair. His favourite AC/DC t-shirt was ruined because the rain caused the colour to run.
"Fuck!" Hyde muttered to himself. As he took off his top he felt the droplets of water hit his back, the coldness caused him to hiss. As he removed his black jeans and changed into a pair of sweats he heard the door open. He secretly hoped it wasn't who he thought. Please don't be Jackie, PLEASE don't be Jackie. He slowly turned around and the sight of a soaking wet Jackie greeted him. Her hair was plastered across her face and she shivered ever so slightly. In Hyde's eyes she looked beautiful. He fought the urge to pick her up and kiss her.
Jackie didn't say anything she just stared at Hyde. She walked through and sat on the couch.
"Steven have you seen Donna? I can't find her anywhere." Jackie said a slight quiver could be heard in her voice. She rubbed her arms.
"Is that all you came for." Hyde said iciness was in his voice that unnerved Jackie. He motioned for her to stand and leave.
"Steven did you mean what you said about me?" Jackie asked she had to because that questioned had been haunting her for the past week.
"It doesn't matter your with Kelso so....Do you think you could leave I'm really tired and I don't think I can sleep with your motor mouth yapping." Hyde said without even looking at Jackie. But ever the most stubborn person she was she didn't budge.
"It matters to me!"
"No. I only said that so it so Donna and Eric would shut up." A smile appeared across Jackie's face. Hyde took that as a good sign. She moved closer and the heat that was generated between their two wet bodies was overpowering Hyde was about to lean in for a kiss when reality hit him. He abruptly pulled himself back.
"Jackie I saw."
"Saw what?" She asked.
"Don't act all stupid Jackie you know what I'm talking about....." A perplexed look was still on Jackie's face. "You and Kelso at the Hub. You looked real happy just glad you two kids finally worked it out." The sarcasm was dripping off of every word.
"Why do you care remember I mean nothing to you." Jackie said back. She shifted from foot to foot and was now really cold.
"That's not what I meant and you know that!"
"Do I?"
"Yes!" Hyde returned.
"Steven me and Kelso are together you didn't want me and he did." Jackie sat down she was tired of standing. Hyde joined her.
"Is that why your with him cos he wants you, cos let me tell you he wants everyone. That's just who he is." "Steven you don't know. Michael has changed." Jackie tried to make him understand. Yes she was marrying Kelso but she still loved Steven.
"I GAVE MY HEART TO YOU AND YOU THREW IT IN MY FACE AND NOW YOU DON'T LIKE IT COS I'VE MOVED ON!" Jackie yelled.
"Tell me you don't want me and I will leave and never bother you again about the wedding or other wise."
Hyde couldn't say he didn't want because he did. He has always wanted her. More so for sex in previous years cos come on she's hot. But right now he wanted her in every way. He wanted to make love to her, right now and every day after. He wanted her to be his wife and not Kelso's.
Jackie looked him in his eyes and didn't flinch. Hyde leaned in grabbed her face and pulled her into a phenomenal kiss. She didn't resist and leaned in to his touch. He stroked her cheek and pulled back. He heard her breathlessness and wanted to smile.
"I want you." he moaned softly. She smiled her notorious Jackie smile and got up from the couch. Hyde looked up at her. She extended her hand for him to take.
"What are you doing?" Hyde softly asked.
She remained silent and walked towards his room and stopped at his door. Hyde walked up to her and looked at her. A look that asked her if she wanted to do what he so desperately wanted to do. She again remained silent and pulled him into the room and closed the door.
Donna, Eric, Fez and Kelso were in a wedding store that catered for anything to do with weddings. They were there to help Kelso and keep him out of trouble. Jackie had given him a list of things to look at. The list included tableware, colour patterns, wedding gift list, tuxes and a bridesmaid dresses. Jackie was extremely specific about what she wanted but still wanted Kelso to check the stuff out. They had been in the store since 4 pm and were growing tired. Donna had it the worst as for the past two hours she had been trying on dresses.
Donna was standing in front of a full-length mirror twirling around in a pale blue bridesmaid dress. Eric was falling a sleep in the chair and Fez was too busy choosing out his own tux. Kelso was gaping at Donna in the mirror.
"Donna you don't need a fancy dress. I'd be happy if you turned up in your catholic school uniform. I'm sure Jackie would be o.k. with it." Kelso said.
"Kelso shut up." She said while looking in the mirror. Donna never thought she'd say this about a dress especially one so frilly but she really liked it. It made her look sophisticated and demure. She wanted Eric's approval but he was far gone in the chair. Note to self never take Eric to wedding department stores when we get married. Donna twirled in front of the mirror. She really did love the dress. The front dipped down and showed a little cleavage and the back was cut out. Instead a little gold chain hung from where the dress did up at the neck.
Fez came out from the changing room dressed in a pale pink suit and black ruffle shirt. Both Donna and Kelso looked at Fez in shock. Donna burst out laughing which woke up Eric who soon joined in.
"Fez man, what are you wearing?" Eric asked. He walked over to Donna and commented on the dress she was wearing. Donna smiled as the dress had the desired effect, of making Eric's eyes pop out.
"I'm wearing my suit, for the wedding. I think it makes me look smooth. Like James Bond."
"Yeah if Donna's dad was cast as James Bond. Sorry Donna." Kelso apologised.
"Hey it's true." She calmly said. Kelso returned to Fez. "Buddy there is no way I'm going to let you wear that and Jackie would kill you."
"Yeah Fez don't you know the colour of pink infuriates the devil." Eric added.
"But I look silky and I will attract the ladies." Fez stuttered.
"Sorry buddy your gonna have to do that in normal clothes."
"You never let me have any fun." And Fez stormed back into the dressing rooms.
Both Donna and Eric where still laughing. And Kelso was just looking at Donna's dress again.
"Kelso stop checking me out. Your getting married." He still continued to stare.
"Eric do you mind?"
And Eric thumped Kelso in the arm.
"Owww!"
Jackie was on top of Steven kissing him. She was straddling him while he was kissing her neck. He lined her jaw with butterfly kisses that made her whimper. She leaned into him and pleaded with her eyes for him to keep touching her. She drew her hands up and pinned Hyde down. She kissed his neck and licked a trail to his earlobe where she lightly bit and nibbled on it. Hyde couldn't contain himself and rolled them over. He was now on top and she was trapped beneath him. He felt her chest rise and fall and felt her nipples harden. He took both her hands above her head and held them there while he concentrated on her mouth. They kissed passionately and fought for control. Jackie's tongue was seeking out his and longed to taste it.
Jackie's head jerked back causing Hyde to lean up and nibble her bottom lip. She moaned in pleasure. Hyde finally released her hands. She dragged her nails up and down his chest. She took off the t-shirt and ran her hands all over his toned stomach. She lightly played with the tiny hairs than ran down in a line towards his sweat pants and disappeared underneath. He drew in a breath and growled in pleasure. His hands reached up towards Jackie's shirt and began to peal it off of her. She wore a white cotton bra that captured the perfect mouth sized peaks.
Jackie jumped off of him and began to strip for him. Hyde just leaned back and enjoyed the performance. The excitement it was causing him could be seen by the bulge in his sweat pants. Jackie walked over towards the radio and switched it on. Led Zeppelin's Black Dog came on and Jackie began to dance. Hyde looked like he was about to reach for her when she said.
"Uh uh, just watch!"
She traced her hands all over body. She unzipped her jeans and slowly pulled them off. Hyde was in total awe of her he never ever thought she could do something like this but here she was doing a strip tease for him. She smiled and tossed her jeans to one side. She did a little shimmy and took off her bra. She dropped it beside the bed. She slowly moved closer to Hyde so he could have a full view of her. And then she quickly backed away again. She reached her hands down and played a little with the elastic band of her panties and with one movement she whipped them off and stood naked in front of Hyde.
Hyde was lapping up her beauty. He grabbed Jackie and pulled her on top of him. He slowly traced circles around the nipple of her left breast that sent shivers running though her body. She arched into him. He kissed down the column of her throat when she bent her head back. He now had full view of her breasts. He pushed Jackie back to the edge of the bed and was on top of her. She laid her head back and let Hyde kiss his way down her body. He kissed her nipple and bit it lightly. She moaned and he continued and moved to the other breast. He reached the flat of her stomach and kissed it slightly. She lifted her back off of the bed and guided his face towards the apex of her legs. He kissed and slightly licked the small numb found in between her legs. He started to tease it by biting and nudging it. Pleasure was coursing through Jackie's body. Pleasure that Kelso has never given her. She placed her hands in Hyde's hair and moaned. He continued to play with her until she was on the edge. He then came up and wiped his mouth, he slowly kissed his way back up Jackie's body. He reached her face and looked deep into her eyes and saw the raw passion she had for him
Jackie was panting when Hyde asked her if she was sure that she wanted this.
"I've dreamed about this moment and I need you inside me." She kissed Hyde with every bit of love she had and hoped that he felt it. Hyde nodded and stood up Jackie followed and pulled down his sweat pants and boxers. He stood in front of her and Jackie could hardly contain her excitement she crawled on to the bed and pulled Hyde on top of her. She placed a condom on his hard member and opened her legs wide and allowed Hyde to enter her. She adjusted to his size.
Hyde eased into her because he didn't want to hurt her, he slowly thrusted into her. He looked down at her and saw her closed eyes and bent down and kissed her, a moan escaped her lips as a rhythm started to build up between them. Jackie opened her eyes and saw Hyde above her. He was thrusting into her more quickly that earned more vocal moans from Jackie.
She loved the way he felt inside of her and wanted nothing more than to continue making love to him all-day and everyday. As he pushed further and further into her she started to feel a warmness increase inside of her. The heat reached boiling point and exploded inside of her. As she came she told Hyde she loved him but he couldn't say it.
Hyde felt every muscle in his body start to tingle. Never when he was with any other girl had he felt this way, he truly believed it was Jackie that made him feel this way. Watching Jackie reach her peak underneath him made him feel such a love for her that was so powerful it scared him. He continued to push deeper into her and felt her heated walls clench around him. He then felt his own need to release the pleasure that was building up inside of him and suddenly he exploded inside of her.
Hyde withdrew himself from her and collapsed onto his back. Jackie straddled him and began kissing his chest. She licked and teased his nipples. She couldn't get enough of him and wanted him inside her again.
Hyde looked at her "You wanna go again?" Jackie leaned down and kissed him full and hard on the lips.
"Yes please." Hyde wasn't about to deny the woman he loved so he got another condom and they proceeded to make love the entire night.
Morning came and Jackie was still a sleep. She looked so peaceful and content lying on Hyde's cot. He just spent the best night of his life with the woman he loved but realised that it was only going to be one night. When she'd wake up she would get up and go back to Kelso. He didn't want to have the awkward conversation so he decided to ditch it by ditching her.
He placed the note he had written on the pillow next to Jackie. He just hoped she would understand. He bent down and kissed Jackie on her forehead and she stirred a little in her sleep. He crept out the room and made his way out the basement.
He walked into the kitchen and realised he had to make his own breakfast as Kitty and Red were off visiting Kitty's parents. Too lazy to make breakfast he walked out the kitchen and decided he'd get something at the Hub. He turned around and wondered whether he was doing the right thing, if truth be told he really didn't know. But he had to believe he was doing it for her own good no matter how it affected him, even if it killed him.
Jackie woke up and felt at ease. Last night had been amazing she and Steven made love for the first time and she hoped it wouldn't be the last. She gathered the blankets around her and got out of the bed. The cool air that hit her skin made her feel worried. But when she looked down at the bed and saw a note addressed to her she knew it wasn't the cool air that caused her doubt but the letter. She secretly hoped that it was just a romantic gesture on Steven's part. She sat on the bed and took the note in her hands. She ran her fingers up and down the envelope. She decided that the suspense was killing her and that she didn't want to wait and had to find out what it said. She opened the envelope and read the letter.
Dear Jackie,
Last night was wonderful and I thank you for giving it to me but last night made me realise that I don't want to spend the rest of my life with you. You told me you loved me but I couldn't return the words as I couldn't say something that wasn't true. You belong with Kelso you always have. Even though I do think he's wrong for you. But I am not the right one either. I'm sorry for writing it down and not telling it to your face. I think if we were ever to get together it wouldn't work, as I'm a person that could never return your affection. Even though you think I'm a jerk after reading this I really am sorry. I'm sorry I don't love you.
Steven.
Jackie re-reads the letter over and over again, to make sure there was something she missed. Something that would tell her the whole letter was a lie. But no matter how many times she read it there was noting there. She collapsed on to the bed and dissolved into tears. Her body convulsed with each sob that hit her body. She had never felt so much pain in her life. Steven hurt her before when she had over heard him say all those horrible things about her to Donna and Eric. But now after they made love he really meant them and he had essentially said them all over again. He used me, he used me for sex I guess to him I really was an easy lay. Jackie thought. She gathered her clothes and began to put them on she didn't want to stay another minute in this bed or room. After she got dressed she grabbed the note again and re-read it just to make sure, But the words didn't change they said the same thing.
Jackie heard the back door open and heard someone's footsteps come in. She thought it might have been Steven so gathered her stuff and held her head high and walked out of the backroom but instead she saw Eric's moss of brown her and dissolved into tears again after not being able to keep up her strong face.
Eric had walked into the basement after spending the night with Donna. He opened the back door and was startled when he saw Jackie standing near the couch. For a moment she looked like the normal Jackie and then switched into a character he had never seen before. Tears ran down her cheeks and she looked so weak, fragile and vulnerable. This was so unlike Jackie to expose her emotions especially to him. He didn't know what to do. He walked over to her and enveloped her in a hug. He heard Jackie cry into his sweater but he didn't mind.
They were there in silence for a few minutes. Jackie then told Eric what happened. Eric knew how Hyde felt but he didn't understand why he rejected her and didn't admit his true feelings.
"Don't worry Jackie you'll be alright. It will be o.k." Eric said softly. That was the only thing he could think of.
Jackie looked up at him and smiled through her tears. "Thanks." She said in a whisper. She then clung onto him and started to softly cry. Eric just rocked her hoping she'll feel better.
It was about nine in the evening and Hyde was only getting into the Forman's basement. Since he saw Jackie and Kelso in the Hub earlier Hyde had been walking around Point Place aimlessly. He honestly didn't know what to do. Hyde was soaked to the bone, it was still raining. Hyde walked around the basement looking for a towel and a set of fresh clothes to change into.

For a moment she looked like the normal Jackie and then switched into a character he had never seen before. Tears ran down her cheeks and she looked so weak, fragile and vulnerable. This was so unlike Jackie to expose her emotions especially to him. He didn't know what to do. He walked over to her and enveloped her in a hug. He heard Jackie cry into his sweater but he didn't mind.
They were there in silence for a few minutes. Jackie then told Eric what happened. Eric knew how Hyde felt but he didn't understand why he rejected her and didn't admit his true feelings.
"Don't worry Jackie you'll be alright. It will be o.k." Eric said softly. That was the only thing he could think of.
Jackie looked up at him and smiled through her tears. "Thanks." She said in a whisper. She then clung onto him and started to softly cry. Eric just rocked her hoping she'll feel better.
