A/N- I am sorry that I took so long to update. I really appreciate all of your reviews.

Hyde's POV

"Jackie, can I talk now?" Hyde said when the first commercial after the Love Boat theme song came on. For the first five minutes of the show he hadn't been paying attention. He was content with just watching Jackie watch it.

"No Steven. You may not," Jackie said never taking her eyes off of the television set.

"What? Why? It's the commercial break."

"I am trying to predict what is going to happen next. Duh," Jackie said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

" Jackie that is the………."

"Shut up Steven! The show is back on," Jackie said putting her hand over his mouth to silence him. When she dropped it and it landed perfectly on his upper thigh.

"Oh shit. Okay. Stay calm Hyde. Stay calm. Stay Zen man. You're in a forest. Shit that doesn't work. It just makes me think of Jackie in a little jungle outfit. Ummm. Think Hyde think. Mrs. Foreman. Okay, that's good. Yeah Mrs. Foreman. Making me dinner. Hey, I'm hungry. OH SHIT. She's strong for a little person," Hyde thought as Jackie unconsciously pinched his thigh as she was caught up in her show.

"Oh my god! Steven, how the hell did my hand get there! Why didn't you tell me!"

"Uhhhhhh…I…You…Ummm," Hyde said trying to think of a suitable answer.

" I want answers NOW Steven!" Jackie said completely forgetting about her show.

"You put it there so why are you yelling at me?"

"I did no such thing"

"Ok Jackie. Then you tell me how your hand got on my thigh?" Hyde said expectantly.

" I don't know! That's why I was asking you! All I did was put my hand on your big mouth to shut you up and…" Jackie said as realization hit her, " Never mind. It just can't happen again."

" What can't"

" The, you know, touching and what-not."

"Why not?"

"Because Steven."

" Because what Jackie?"

" Why do have to ask so many damn questions?"

"Why won't you answer any of them?"

" Stop that!" Jackie said getting slightly angry.

" Stop what?" Hyde said knowing he was pushing he buttons.

" Steven Hyde you stop that right this minute!"

"Jaclyn Burkhart you give me answers right this minute!"

" You are so annoying."

"I'm annoying? You have got to be kidding. I bet that if we took a poll right now everyone in Point Place would agree that you are the annoying one."

"Whatever. If you are going to sit there and mock me then leave."

"No. I'm sorry Jackie. I just wanted to know why we couldn't ever touch each other again. I told you how I felt. You believed me didn't you? Cause I meant it with all of my heart. I swear to Led Zeppelin."

" I know Steven. I believe you. It's just that… I don't know. But you really hurt me. A lot. The last time I forgave you, I thought that I would never have to deal with this again. I can't go through all of this again. I just can't. I have to know that there will be more to it this time. Not just an off-again-on-again relationship." Jackie said trying to keep a calm voice.

" I can do that. Look, can we talk later?" Hyde said already planning his next and maybe biggest move with Jackie.

"That's cool," Jackie said a smile appearing on her face at her and Hyde's inside Zen joke.

" I am going to take that as a yes. Meet me in front of my car at 7?"

"Kay."

"Cool. Bye," Hyde said and without a second thought kissed the top of her head on his way out of the door.

Ok. I bet a lot of you know what's going to happen. Review and I will write. I need at least 10 reviews to update.
