Chapter #7
" Steven, this is great! We're alone for an entire weekend!" gushes Jackie in excitement.
" and we're also in a hot tub." pipes in Hyde with a devilish grin.
Crawling into Hyde's arms, Jackie lays back against him," so, I'm your girlfriend now?"
placing his arms around Jackie's waist, Hyde kisses her neck," if you want to go and put a label on it."
" this weekend is going to be perfect." declares Jackie, settling into Hyde's arms.
" why is that Jacks?" ponders Hyde, glancing down at her.
Nuzzling up against Hyde, Jackie closes her eyes," because, I'm here with you. And i love you Steven"
tensing up at this, Hyde stares down at Jackie dumb founded," you what?"
" i love you Steven" repeats Jackie with a shy smile.
" well, Jackie- i...like you." says Hyde, stumbling with his words.
Smiling in response, Jackie pats Hyde's chest," i can live with that.'
pulling Jackie up with him, Hyde lifts her chin for a kiss," come on, lets go dry off and change." ...
(late that same evening)
" ok, come on Jacks. I think that its time for you to go to bed." informs Hyde, scooping her up in his arms.
" but I'm still watching television though Steven!" protests Jackie with a pout of her lip.
Switching off the television, Hyde carries Jackie to their room," no, you were falling asleep."
letting Hyde carry her to bed, Jackie frowns at this," i was not!"
" Jackie, your eyes were closed." points out Hyde, plopping her down onto the bed.
" well, yeah. But i was only resting." counters Jackie, hiding a yawn.
Pulling off his t-shirt, Hyde settles down beside Jackie," resting is sleep Jackie"
climbing on top of Hyde, Jackie lays between his legs," yeah...whatever."
" shouldn't i be on top when we do this?" jokes Hyde, grunting when Jackie slaps his chest.
" Steven!" yells Jackie, pinching Hyde on the arm.
Laughing to himself at this, Hyde stares up at Jackie," what? We can't at least joke about sex?"
moving to lay away from Hyde, Jackie turns her back toward him," whatever."
" what are you so afraid of Jackie?" questions Hyde, moving to lay behind her.
" I'm not afraid of anything Steven" lies Jackie miserably.
Pulling Jackie against him, Hyde whispers in her ear," ok, so then whats wrong with you?"
shrugging her shoulders, Jackie glances up at Hyde," Steven, I'm fine ok."
" are you upset that Kelso's back?" pries Hyde, jealous at the mere thought of it.
" Steven, what does Michael have to do with anything?" asks Jackie, rubbing at her eyes.
Tensing up in his spot, Hyde looks down at Jackie," why don't you tell me?"
climbing out of bed, Jackie grabs her pillow," I'm not going to argue with you tonight Steven"
" where are you going Jacks?" questions Hyde, sitting up in his spot.
" there's another room, I'm going to sleep in there." informs Jackie, stepping into her slippers.
Sighing to himself, Hyde flicks off the lights," whatever." ...
(two hours later)
tip toeing out of his room, Hyde walks down the hall. Quietly opening the door to Jackie's room he sneaks in. crawling into bed silently, he lays behind her. Staring at her back to him, Hyde just watches her as she sleeps. Reaching out to touch her, he sighs to himself," I'm sorry if i made you cry Jacks...maybe i don't deserve you.", he whispers, before falling asleep with Jackie in his arms. ...
(the following morning)
" hey." greets Hyde, still groggy from sleep.
" if your looking for an argument, your out of luck Steven" reports Jackie, combing out her hair.
With a shake of his head, Hyde hands Jackie a plate," no, i just wanted to give you breakfast."
staring at Hyde suspiciously, Jackie picks at her plate," ok...what's the catch?"
" there is no catch." assures Hyde, sitting next to Jackie
" really?" inquires Jackie, still suspicious.
With a simple nod, Hyde pulls Jackie onto his lap," yeah...oh, and I'm sorry."
glancing over at Hyde, Jackie arches up an eye brow" your sorry for what?"
" you're going to milk this for all its worth aren't you?" ponders Hyde, resting his chin on Jackie's shoulder.
" pretty much yeah. Now, say 'I'm sorry that i was a jerk last night' ." orders Jackie in a serious manner.
Frowning in response, Hyde folds his arms across his chest," lets not push it now Jackie"
smiling up at Hyde, Jackie just chuckles," yeah, it was worth a try at least."
" so, we're cool now?" questions Hyde, squeezing Jackie lightly.
" as long as you stop bringing up Michael" agrees Jackie with a smile.
Giving a short nod of his head, Hyde lays down with Jackie," I'm tired of talking about Kelso."
stretching on her spot, Jackie lets out a tired yawn," so, then lets have a Michael free weekend then. Just us Steven"
" I'm all for that." assures Hyde, giving Jackie a peck on her forehead.
" great, now get out so i can go shower." informs Jackie, giving Hyde a light shove.
Jumping up out of bed, Hyde follows Jackie around the room," i need to shower also you know."
rolling her eyes at this, Jackie slaps Hyde's arm playfully," your not taking one with me."
" why not? We would be saving a lot of water you know Jacks." suggests Hyde, following her to the bathroom.
" Steven, we haven't even slept together yet. Your not allowed to see me naked." informs Jackie, lightly pushing him out the door.
Groaning in response, Hyde whirls Jackie around," you are going to be the death of me, you know that Jackie Burkhart."
giving Hyde a sweet kiss, Jackie pats his chest lightly," well then at least you'll die happy. ...i just don't want sex to be all that we have going for us is all Steven"
" i won't have to wait forever though, will i Jacks?" questions Hyde, wrapping her in his arms.
" no, not forever. Just until I'm ready for that step Steven" confirms Jackie, lifting her head from his shoulder.
Nodding his agreement, Hyde pecks Jackie on her cheek," ok, i can live with that for an answer." ... --
