A/N: Just wanted to remind everyone that I still don't know who the Coca Cola big shot was in the 70s. Also! I want to thank all my reviews, especially Linchi and vaguely specific. You guys are the best!
Okay, so dinner was good, and the guests were nice. But Hyde hated, hated, hated the way Jackie kept looking at Edward. Honestly, how could she go so long without blinking? She never looked at him like that.
Feeling fidgety, Hyde briskly excused himself from the table and headed for the kitchen. He mainly needed to cool things down under all this pressure. As the door that lead from the living room, where the meal was, to the kitchen closed behind him, Hyde ran a hand through his hair. He irritably strolled around the kitchen with his thumbs hooked in his belt loops and his head down. Finally, his fist slammed against the counter, right as Jackie poked her head inside.
"Steven?" She looked utterly confused as she fully stepped inside. "Babe, what's wrong?"
Hyde shot her a look, "Nothing."
Jackie folded her arms in front of her chest, giving him one of her own looks. "Don't lie to me."
His eyes narrowed, "I said nothing."
"And I say it's something." She went on. "Now, damnit Steven Hyde, you're either gonna tell me what's the matter or you're gonna suck it up and come back to dinner!"
He pierced his lips together and crossed his arms in front of his chest. He wasn't giving in that easily. And Jackie could see that. She sighed, realizing he was going into Zen mode. Which meant that she could either go into that same mode, or act all sexy to break him.
She picked sexy. Jackie unfolded her arms and ambled towards her man, a teasing look in her eyes. When Hyde didn't move, she slowly raised her hands to his arms, softly stroking them with the tips of her manicured nails. "Please?" she purred.
He took in a deep breath, "No."
Jackie faced him and raised her left hand to his cheek, then stood on her tip-toes as she planted soft, addicting kisses on his neck. "Pretty please?" She begged between each gesture.
Hyde wanted to moan out with pleasure, but he had to hold strong. He took in a shaky breath, still unable to believe that after all this time Jackie was still able to make him nervous. "N-no."
She smiled to herself, knowing she was about to win. With the help of already being as high as she could go, Jackie laid a gently sweet kiss on her boyfriend's lips. He wanted to kiss back, she could tell. He always wanted to kiss back, that's how it worked. But he was trying to resist this time, which made her a pout a little.
Hyde dropped his hands, ready to take her in his arms. But ready as he was, the door opened once more, and the last person he wanted to see was standing right in front of him.
"Edward!" Jackie yelped, turning to face him. Hyde noticed her flame for him had vanished. He smirked, pleased that he'd won that battle. She grabbed his hand before he stuck it in his jeans pocket with the other one.
