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 # 31

" well it sounded like it did to me Jackie."

" well it didn't ok."

Pulling up into Jackie's driveway, Hyde shuts the engine off,".....whatever."

Climbing out of the Camino, Jackie grabs the card board box," you think that you can unlock the door? The keys are in my front pocket."

" yeah, ok."

Following Hyde inside her house, Jackie sets the box down and picks up Bandit," thanks, come on. We've got to give him a bath."

Pulling off his jacket, Hyde tosses it onto the couch," do you even have the stuff to give him one?"

" yeah, I bought it Steven. It's in one of those bags, I'm gonna go fill the tub a bit."

" ok....damn! What did you buy?"

Sitting on the lid of the toilet, Jackie holds Bandit in her arms," only a couple of things Steven."

Walking into the bathroom, Hyde places the bottle on the ledge of the tub," try more like the whole store."

" I wanted to get him a couple of toys."

" there's two bags and they're both filled Jackie."

Dipping Bandit into the tub, Jackie splashes him lightly," you should be glad that it's only two bags, I wanted to get more."

Kneeling down beside Jackie, Hyde rubs some shampoo into Bandit's fur,".....you know for a cat that is suppose to hate water, he is real calm- surprisingly."

" I know....Think that maybe he got into your stash?"

" cute, your real cute Jackie."

Rinsing the shampoo off of bandit, Jackie wraps him up in a towels," yeah...I really am Steven."

With a slight shake of his head, Hyde laughs to himself," right, ok. If you say so."

" Steven!"

" Jackie."

".....what was that for?"

" I missed your chatter mouth today."

" oh, ummm ok."--

" did you miss me?"

" I was only gone a couple of hours."

" I know....look, Jackie is everything ok?"

" yeah, why wouldn't they be Steven?"

" you haven't kissed me once today."

" well I have been gone all day."

" you didn't want me to stay over and you kept your distance in the car."

"....what do you want me to say? I'm sorry?"

" no, I just wanna know what's wrong Jackie?"

" nothing is wrong with me Steven."

"....is this about last night?"

".....yeah, you played zen with me. So I thought that instead of blurting things out and being shot down, that I should just be zen like you taught me to be."

" I didn't mean to hurt you Jackie, if I would've kno...."

" I know Steven, It's ok."

" it's just that I can say what you wanted me to say back."

" yeah, I know. And I didn't expect you to, I just wanted you to know how I felt."--
