Chapter #9

(a couple days later)

" so, are you and Hyde really a couple now?" greets, Kelso, walking up behind Jackie

" yeah, we are Michael Steven makes me happy now." confesses Jackie, startled by his presence.

Looking down at the ground sadly, Kelso lets out a huff," well, didn't i make you happy too Jackie?"

giving a small nod, Jackie picks at her plate," yeah Michael you did...when you weren't cheating on me!"

" whatever, Jackie Its always...its always words with you isn't it?" exclaims Kelso in his own defense.

" Michael, i am NOT going to argue with you right now." informs Jackie dismissively.

Following Jackie out of the Hub, Kelso steps in front of her," ok, I'm sorry. Look, let me give you a ride home."

" its cool, I'm not going home Michael"...announces Jackie, finishing the last of her soda," I'm going to the basement."

" why? Its late, no one is there." points out Kelso, leaning against his van.

" yeah, i know. But i haven't seen Steven all day." confides Jackie, avoiding Kelso's eyes.

Tensing up at the mention of Hyde's name, Kelso's hand bawls up into a fist,"...whatever, if you want to be with Hyde..i don't care."

zipping up her coat, Jackie looks down at the ground," i think that I'm just going to walk to the basement."

" no, get in. I'll drive you Jackie" offers Kelso, opening the van door.

"...thanks Michael" says Jackie with a smile. ...

(outside the basement)

" so are we ok again now?" questions Kelso with raised eye brows.

" yeah...friends?" offers Jackie, glancing up at Kelso

Pulling Jackie in for a hug, Kelso holds her close," it's better then nothing i guess."

smiling up at Kelso, Jackie pecks his cheek," cool. Sooo, thanks for the ride."

" don't mention it...so, did you want to maybe catch a movie sometime Jackie?" ponders Kelso, looking at her hopefully.

" i don't know Michael.." says Jackie uncertainly, shifting in her spot.

Sighing to himself, Kelso gives Jackie an innocent smile," come on Jackie, I'll even bring Fez. He'll make sure that i don't try anything."

after a moments thought, Jackie reluctantly nods," yeah, sure. I guess that would be cool...as long as Fez comes though."

" cool, so then I'll see you around Jackie" smirks Kelso, giving Jackie a quick peck.

" bye Michael" sighs Jackie, watching him walk off. ...

" hey Steven" greets Jackie, skipping into the basement.

" whatever." grumbles Hyde, his Zen mask on.

Settling down next to Hyde, Jackie lays her head on his shoulder," so, what are we reading?"

flipping through the magazine he's reading, Hyde stiffens completely at Jackie's touch," madd magazine."

" oh, so what were you up to today?" asks Jackie, kissing Hyde sweetly.

" not much, but i know what you were up to today." mutters Hyde, turning away from Jackie

Giving Hyde a confused look, Jackie shifts so she's facing him," Steven, what are you talking about?"

throwing down his magazine, Hyde fixes a cold stare on Jackie," i saw you with Kelso being all lovey dovey just now, so don't play stupid."

" Steven, he just gave me a ride over here. Thats all, ok? Nothing happened." assures Jackie, taking Hyde's hand.

" i saw him kiss you!" accuses Hyde, shoving Jackie's hand away.

Rolling her eyes at Hyde, Jackie can't help but chuckle," it was just an innocent peck, what is so bad about that?"

grumbling in response, Hyde turns his back to Jackie once again," whatever."

" ooooh, Steven! You really do care about me!" gushes Jackie in excitement.

" what? Your crazy! I do not Jackie" denies Hyde miserably.

Climbing onto Hyde's lap, Jackie grins over at him," its ok Steven, i won't tell anyone i promise."

sighing to himself, Hyde shakes his head in bewilderment," how in the world did i end up with you of all people?"

" i don't know, but you must have gotten really lucky." confirms Jackie, patting Hyde's chest lightly.

" Jackie, i don't want you hanging out with Kelso alone anymore." informs Hyde, taking off his sunglasses.

Playing with Hyde's hand, Jackie wriggles her own into his," why not? Don't you trust me Steven?"

folding his arms across his chest, Hyde looks at Jackie sternly," lets see, ummmm...no. Jackie, i don't trust anybody Jackie Especially not Kelso, you should know that by now."

" ok, fine. ...so, does that mean that i can't go to the movies with Michael and Fez?" ponders Jackie, glancing up at Hyde "...ok, ok! Sheesh, i get it!"

" Jackie, if you want to be my girlfriend your going to have to start acting like it. None of this hanging around all buddy-buddy and going place with Kelso crap." reminds Hyde, frowning at the thought.

" wait, so I'm your girlfriend now?" ...questions Jackie with a smirk, her entire face lighting up at the possibilities," say it again Steven..call me you girlfriend!"

with a roll of his eyes, Hyde groans in response at Jackie's sudden giddiness," why? You already know it Jackie"

" because, i like hearing it Steven Besides, you are so FREAKIN' hot right now." announces Jackie, looking at Hyde with wild eyes.

" really?" grins Hyde, laughing as Jackie attacks him.

Pouncing on Hyde, Jackie knocks him onto the ground," shut up before you ruin it Steven!"

shocked when Jackie lifts his shirt, Hyde mumble between kisses," shouldn't. we. Take it. To the. Room?"

" good idea." agrees Jackie, pulling Hyde up.

" well, wait. I thought you wanted..." begins Hyde, shut up by Jackie quickly.

Interrupting Hyde with a hand to his mouth, Jackie shoves him towards the room," Steven, get in the bedroom...NOW!"

grinning down at Jackie, Hyde stumbles into his room," wow, someone sure is feisty."

" oh my god, would you just shut up and take off you pants Steven!" yells Jackie in frustration.

" ok, ok! Damn! There is no need to pinch Jacks!" complains Hyde, falling onto his cot. ...

(three hours later)

"...wow." declares Jackie with a sigh.

" yeah." agrees Hyde with a simple nod.

Pulling on her night shirt, Jackie curls up against Hyde," i could stay over here tonight?"

placing a kiss on Jackie's forehead, Hyde hugs her close," do you even have to ask Jacks?" ... --
