Ok it is to the point where I guess that I am gonna just have to repeat this permanently. Look when I write I don't look for every little mistake that I make, your lucky I spell check every single one. I'm not an english teacher, so why should I have a book by my side that tells me how to write properly. I get that it bothers everyone, you guys tell me everyday. But like I said and will keep saying this is how I write and I am not willing to change my ways, I'm a stubborn irish gal- so deal with it people :) .

Disclaimer:.....yeah, I'm still going with the 'I don't own anything' story people. So don't sue me.

Chapter # 23

" how the hell does that work Hyde?"

" how does what work Kelso?"

Pacing in front of the couch briefly, Kelso stops and fold his arms across his chest," how did you get Jackie to agree to go to sleep just like that?"

Lowering the volume on the television, Hyde flicks through the channels," she knew that I was right and that she really was tired."

" even when we were dating and I was right, Jackie never agreed with me....she always argued with me until she got her way."

" yeah, well I guess Jackie knows that I won't take her whining and crap. By the way, that was always funny to watch man."

Grabbing a soda from the deep freeze, Kelso pops off the cap and takes a long swig," I can't believe that you broke the code Hyde, have you no decency man?"

With a small shrug of his shoulders, Hyde tosses a corn chip into his mouth, " apparently not, did my mom have any decency when she just up and left? Did my dad when I was only eight years old?...Did you have any decency all of those times when you cheated on Jackie?"

" that was different Hyde."

" how was that any different Kelso?"

" because you were suppose to be my best friend, and you broke the un- written code Hyde."

" and I still am your best friend Kelso, the only difference is that I'm with Jackie now."

" I'm not so sure any more about that first part Hyde."--

(the following morning)

" when did you come to bed last night Steven? I waited up for twenty minutes until I finally fell asleep."

" I came to bed shortly after 'The Price Is Right' went off Jackie."

Stretching out tiredly against hyde, Jackie lets out a tiny yawn," you watched 'The Price Is Right' without me? Ugh, Steven!"

Rubbing his arm where Jackie just frogged him, Hyde frown down at her and gruffly informs," ok, you could barely keep your eyes open Jackie. And if you do that again, we're gonna have a problem."

" fine, but next time I'm staying up with you Steven."

" go right ahead Jackie, but don't expect me to carry you to bed when you fall asleep."

" I don't have to expect you to, I know you will."

" really? And just how do you know that exactly?"

" simple, I think that you secretly like waking up near me."

" is that so? How did you come up with that conclusion?"

" because every morning you wake m with a kiss and a hug."

" ahh! No more hugging me Jackie, come on!"

" Steven! Why can't I give you -my boyfriend!- a hug?"--

" because, I ache. Thats why dammit!"

" ooooh, well why do you ache?"

" uhhh, I tripped coming to bed last night and bumped into the dresser."

" ahh....yeah, Steven your lying."

" no I'm no!....how would you know anyway?"

" because, if you'd of bumped into the dresser then I'd of heard you."

" you were sound asleep Jackie."

" no, no I wasn't."

" yes you were."

"....ok, Steven why don't you try telling me what really happened?"

" fine, Kelso socked me in the stomach."

" Steven! You fought with Michael over me?!"

" Jackie, I didn't hit Kelso back ok."

"....honest? You didn't?"

" yes, I swear that I didn't."

"ok, I believe you...Can I see?"

" yeah, ok. If you wanna."

" awwww, Steven you poor baby. Does it hurt?"--
