I live for them you guys, and thanks for the reviews on my last fic. You all rock.

Chapter #6

" I'm difficult? Ha!" scoffs Jackie with a roll of her eyes.

" yes, you Jackie Burkhart are difficult!" snaps Eric, laughing to himself.

Dropping her bag, Jackie takes a menacing step forward," and your a jerk Eric foreman!"

stumbling back as Jackie pokes his chest, Eric knocks into the couch," oh yeah? Well...well, your a pain!"

" i hate you!" yells Jackie in a loud voice.

" i hate you more!" retorts Eric with the same tone.

glaring up at Eric, Jackie turns her back to him," get out of my house!"

laughing to himself, Eric merely smirks," Jackie, i live here!"

" well...dammit!" mutters Jackie in defeat.

" hu, so there is a way to shut you up after all." ponders Eric in disbelief.

Frowning to herself, Jackie folds her arms across her chest," don't push it foreman."

letting out a long huff, Eric looks over at Jackie," we need to talk Jackie"

" about what?" asks Jackie, picking up her bag.

" about...about, ummm..." stutters Eric nervously, staring at the ground.

Stumbling back slightly when Eric kisses her, Jackie stares up at him in shock," Eric.."

lifting Jackie's chin, Eric can feel her knees as they buckle against him, ' wow, so i do have an effect on her after all.' ..." sorry Jackie, i just...you know." he mutters, kissing her once more while she's still speech-less. ...

" Jackie, whatever happened to two minutes? Parts of me are freez...what the hell!" yells Hyde when he notices Eric locking lips with Jackie

" Steven!" gasps Jackie, jumping away from Eric

Bawling up a fist, Hyde stalks toward Eric," thats it, Jackie step aside!"

stepping in front of Hyde, Jackie places her hand on his chest," Steven"

" Jackie, he kissed you. I can't let that slide!" growls Hyde, trying to swing at Eric

" i know, couldn't we just go though?" pleads Jackie in a small voice.

Looking at the plead in Jackie's eyes, with a groan Hyde caves," yeah, fine. Come on." ...

" wait, so you actually kissed Jackie?" asks Donna in a confused manner.

" yeah, we were arguing and i kissed her." confirms Eric with a genuine smile.

Shaking her head in amazement, Donna sits up with interest," wow, how did she react?"

with a shrug of his shoulders, Eric stares at the television," i wouldn't know. Hyde showed up before she could."

" whoa, Hyde saw you kiss Jackie? How did that go?" questions Donna, sipping her beer.

" not so well, he was about to kick my ass until Jackie stopped him." mopes Eric in a now sad tone.

Leaning forward in her seat, Donna raises a curious eye brow," ok, well where is Jackie now?"

muttering in response, Eric huffs to himself," she's out with Hyde, where else?" ...

" well?" asks Hyde, staring at Jackie expectantly.

"...what?" ponders Jackie, trying to play clueless.

Frowning over at Jackie, Hyde paces his apartment," why were you just Frenching Eric?"

watching Hyde walk back and forth, Jackie points out," i was not Frenching Eric, he's my best friend. And thats gross Steven, i was caught off guard!"

" thats not the point Jackie!" reminds Hyde in a raised voice.

" then what is?" questions Jackie, honestly confused.

Stopping in mid pace, Hyde spins around on Jackie," you kissed another guy!"

picking up a Madd magazine, Jackie flips through the pages," so? Why do you care? We aren't even dating Steven"

" says who!" snaps Hyde, frowning down at Jackie

" says you! Remember? We're just friends who hang out and kiss sometimes." reminds Jackie with a scowl.

Groaning to himself, Hyde just stares at Jackie's back," i already apologized for that!"

glaring up at Hyde, a tear rolls down Jackie's cheek," well it still hurt Steven Hyde!"

" what? Oh, come on Jacks." pleads Hyde, attempting to comfort her.

" leave me alone!" growls Jackie, shoving Hyde away.

Sitting down next to Jackie, Hyde pulls her against him," I'm sorry ok? Don't cry Jackie"

nudging her face into Hyde's shoulder, Jackie sniffles with a hidden smile," apology accepted."

" what? Wait, no i was mad at you!" mutters Hyde in disbelief

" lets not get off subject." points out Jackie with a smile.

Looking down at Jackie puzzled, Hyde just grins," oh, your good."

smirking in response, Jackie simply nods," it takes years of practice."

" you did still kiss another guy." reminds Hyde with a sigh.

" yeah, i know. But could we please not fight about it?" asks Jackie in a tire tone.

Resting his chin a top Jackie's forehead, Hyde lets out a heavy huff," well, what am i supposed to do about it then Jackie?"

settling into Hyde's arms, Jackie lets out a sleepy yawn," nothing. Look, Steven..i love you ok?"

" you can't just...ah, crap! I'm not saying it back!" grumbles Hyde in defeat.

" i don't care." says Jackie with a chuckle.

Staring down at Jackie, Hyde itches at his neck," so, what do we do now?"

switching off the lights, Jackie pecks Hyde's chest," we go to sleep."

" and thats it?" questions Hyde, wrapping an arm around Jackie

" we'll talk about it in the morning Steven Go to sleep." mumbles Jackie before closing her eyes. ...

(following morning)

" Jackie..Jacks...Jackie!" whispers Hyde, nudging her softly.

" Steven!" groans Jackie, wanting to stay asleep.

Shoving at Jackie, Hyde sits up," your going to crush me."

glancing up at Hyde, Jackie rubs at her eyes," thats impossible, I'm only ninety-five pounds."

" oh, i don't believe that!" jokes Hyde, grunting as Jackie slaps his chest.

" Steven!" whines Jackie in protest.

Laughing as Jackie pinches his arm, Hyde simply grins," ooooh, someone is very feisty this morning."

rolling her eyes at Hyde, Jackie chuckles to herself," would you shut up?"

" and your demanding too? Such a turn on." teases Hyde with a smile.

" does this mean we're ok now?" ponders Jackie in a hopeful tone.

With a shrug of his shoulders, Hyde lays on his side," that all depends, are you going to French another one of your friends?"

stretching out in her spot, Jackie stares up at Hyde," ok, i did not French Eric And my only other friend is basically Donna Soooo, no."

" i don't mind if you and Donna kiss, in fact feel free to make out with her anytime that you want to. Oh but only as long as i can watch." taunts Hyde in a playful voice.

" ewwww, yeah right! Nice try Steven, its not happening." declares Jackie in a grossed out tone.

" what? Oh come on, you might have fun." suggests Hyde with a chuckle.

" you are such a freak!" laughs Jackie with a roll of her eyes. ... --
