Last Chapter: At least for tonight, the feeling would be with me as I held Jackie in my arms.
Default: I don't own That 70's show or anything else said in this story.
I felt hung over when I woke up the next morning, like I was out drinking with Foreman or Kelso. What had happened yesterday was a blur of exciting moments that I had kept drinking in. I remember Fez rambling on about his candy. The stash that he kept in the garage under the toolbox that no one was meant to know about. Foreman and Donna were sitting next to each other on the couch kissing and holding hands. It was disgusting. Kelso was sitting in the chair talking about plans for next week and I was in my usual chair drinking a beer when the back door opened. She walked in and sat herself down on Kelso's lap, laughing and talking about the same plans. Jackie had a very big smile on her face as she rambled on about the trip up to the cabin. She had no clue of what was going to happen that afternoon.
Jackie shifted and yawned; making me aware that she was waking up. We hadn't switched positions, so she was still lying on my chest and I still had an arm around her waist. Her eyes squinted as she started to wake up. Jackie looked around, as if she forgot where she was for a moment and then tilted her head up to look at me. I didn't have my glasses on so she could see into my eyes. I hoped she wasn't good at reading my emotions because I couldn't contain them as I looked into her eyes. Jackie's hair was messed up and falling over her shoulders onto my stomach. Her face looked semi-tired, but comfortable and calm. I had an odd feeling knowing Kelso probably never had these moments.
"That feels good." She whispered. I was confused as to why she said that, but then caught myself slowly rubbing my hand up and down her side. Her skin was soft and it tickled my hand, especially when I wiggled my fingers. She sighed closed her eyes for a quick second, then opened them to continue staring into mine. "You're my knight in shimmering amour." Jackie said with a smile. No one had ever said that to me before, and I preferred no one did. But the feeling it gave me was over-whelming. "You mean shining." I corrected her. She shook her head slightly and smirked. I was the only one who ever smirked. Who does she think she is? "No, I mean shimmering as in glow. Shining is a light." I thought that over for a minute and I guess it made sense.
We lay together for a longer while, before we heard a sound in the basement. It was singing, and a women's voice. Jackie seemed scared and pressed against my side. She probably thought I didn't notice, but I did. I had been watching her behavior, and it seemed she never thought nicely of adults, and tried to stay away from them. "Steven?" The voice asked. I instantly knew it was Mrs. Foreman and answered. "Yes?" I yelled. "Breakfast is ready, so come up soon." The sound of a door closing, and walking up stairs made me breath a little easier and Jackie loosen up, but then she had to add. "Bring up your friend too." I was shocked that she remembered. "How does she do that?" Jackie whispered.
It had been ten minutes since Mrs. Foreman had come down into the basement, and neither Jackie nor I had moved. I think she was too scared to break what was happening. I wasn't scared. Not one bit. So why hadn't I moved? Well, I was comfortable and I never like to stop being comfortable. But a man had to do what a man has to do. "Jackie I think we should get up now." She looked at me for a minute and started to push off my chest. "Y-yeah. That's best." She whispered. I thought I heard a quiver in her voice, but I didn't care. I sat up rather quickly while Jackie was still pushing away and her hand slipped. She fell into my lap with her head facing up and I didn't know it, but I had grabbed her hand. We didn't dare move because the situation would've gotten even more awkward. Jackie's face was red, and I'm guessing so was mine. Her hand reached up and entangled itself in my hair, pulling me down towards her face. I never objected to a kiss, but when she closed her eyes and I heard her breath hitch, it only made the kiss harder to do. Cut the romantic crap. I'm was not prince charming and never planned on being one. Not caring about the outcome, I swiftly brought my lips upon hers.
I never thought the day would come where I would kiss Jackie Burkhart. I had pictured myself making out with her, but so has every other guy that's seen her. Having watched Jackie and Kelso make out so many times in the basement was sickening and I built up this idea that Jackie was a horrible kisser. The truth is, she wasn't a terrible kisser and she tasted like strawberries. I like strawberries. I also like cherries and chocolate. I wonder if she had that flavor lip-gloss. With my thoughts trailing off the way they were, I didn't realize Jackie had pulled away slightly and was now staring into my eyes. I wasn't sure why, but whenever I stared into her eyes, it seemed like I was getting lost and off track.
