Disclaimers: I don't own that 70's show.
She couldn't believe it; Michael was going to propose to her, Michael Kelso was going to propose to HER! Her eyes were still wide and she was sure her mouth was still slightly open. Closing it, she stared at her X-lover and felt a wave a guilt wash over her. She was aware that he still held feelings for her, ever since he had returned from California he had been trying to get wrapped around her fingers again and she hadn't aloud it. She was with Steven and had fallen in love with him while her feelings for Michael had vanished.
Although she was no longer with Hyde, she still clung to her feelings for him even though it had been a mere few days since there break up, it felt like it had been forever.
Stepping forward slightly, she glanced at Donna and then back to the man that wanted to marry her, wishing that it had been a Steven Hyde instead. Her voice was soft as she finally began to speak.
" We have to talk Michael"
Slightly grabbing his writs, she led him back to Donna's room, and looked at Donna, silently asking her to leave. When the red head was out of sight, she turned back to him.
" I heard what you said Michael"
Deciding to head back to the basement, Donna looked back at her door and shook her head, there was no way she was going to accept and Kelso was going to be heart broken. Jackie still was in love with Hyde, speaking of witch, who she hadn't seen since she had arrived at Jackie's house. He had looked shocked when he had found out Kelso's intentions and was surprised when he gave Kelso a few days to propose, she was almost certain he still cared for the cheerleader whether he decided to admit it or not and if he didn't do something about it soon then well….. She wasn't really to sure what would happen. Taking one last look at the door, she walked away.
So she had hear what he said when talking to Donna and really wished he had thought it over. Was he really prepared for this? Getting married and spending the rest of his life doing it with one person? Looking at Jackie, something in his mind clicked and he knew the answer… yes.
He cared for Jackie more then he did anyone and he did want to be with her, swallowing a lump in his throat, he reached into his pocket and…. Aw crap Donna still had the ring!
Looking around the room for something else he could use at the moment, his eyes landed on a little pink ring with a darker pink diamond, it was now or never. Getting down on one knee, he grabbed her hand.
" Jackie will you marry me?
Staring at the ring, she looked at his face.
" Michael that's my ring!"
Slumping his shoulders, he looked at her in annoyance.
" Damn Jackie I was going to use my own ring but Donna ran off with it!"
Softening her eyes, she grabbed his hands and pulled him up.
" Michael…."
Trying to slow her beating heart, her eyes began to water.
" I cant Michael"
Slowly getting up, he felt his heart begin to drop, she hadn't accepted, she didn't love him any more.
" But Jackie, I…. You…"
He felt his own eyes tearing up as his heart began to break; she wasn't going to be his bride.
More tears began to come out of her eyes as she saw his swell up, no, she shouldn't have to feel guilty. They were supposed to of gotten married before and he left her and then. She fell in love with Steven.
" No, Michael, I'm sorry but…. I can't be your wife"
Nodding his head, he looked away and sat the ring back down on the stand; it was a mistake after all. Whipping his eyes, he stared at her, the girl he loved more than anything.
Both crying uncontrollably, Kelso pulled Jackie into an embrace and rested his head on hers as she cried into his shoulder.
" Jackie, just know that, if you ever change your mind, I will always be there for you for both your physical and emotional needs"
Somewhat laughing during her tears, she buried her head deeper into his shoulder and held him tighter not noticing the pair of hurt blue eyes walk away.
Walking down to the basement in hurt and anger. Hyde sat down on the couch and buried his head into his hands, he had seen there oh so " loving" embrace and it was quite clear that she accepted his proposal, his mind was ticking with thoughts of him and Jackie during there 10 months together and the anger began to bubble, DAMMIT! Kelso wasn't supposed to propose! He promised him that he wouldn't and the idiot couldn't of even waited 24 hours! And Dammit now Jackie was supposed to become Mrs. Jackie Kelso!
Slowly taking his hands from his face he reached into his pocket and pulled out the number he had gotten earlier that day and stared at it for a few minutes before he picked up the phone and dialed.
" Hey it's me"
Yay a quick update, I really hope that Kelso wasn't to OOC, he's kinda hard to write with when he's sad ya know, well anyway, ya the chapter was short but that's only because there's going to be so much going on in the next chapter, I have it all worked out!
