"I need you" Hyde whispered to her huskily, drawing her mouth into his. He captured her tongue into his before continuing. "You're my heart, my soul, my everything." He rammed her with his heartfelt words, his tongue pulsing against hers. "Oh God, Jackie," he breathed. " I want you." His mouth continued to invade hers, making her writhe underneath him. Her breathe coming in short and her mouth betraying everything she was trying to say, not leaving his long enough for the words to escape. He continued to attack her mouth, making her dizzy. Jackie felt faint and felt her world going black.
Jackie woke up in a cold sweat. It had all just been a dream. She looked over at the clock on the nightstand and saw it read 3:34. She noticed Eric had not yet returned. It was two days before the wedding and the night of his bachelor party. Jackie sighed to herself. Eric had been acting distant since Bob's funeral and she didn't know why. She made excuses to herself about him just needing space before the wedding, but she knew something else was really wrong. Eric would stay out till all hours of the night or be gone before she woke up. When they were together he acted far-away and they hadn't made love since before then. Jackie also had been having these life like dreams of being with Steven, always waking her up at night. She moaned to herself and rolled over, closing her eyes and willing sleep to come over her again. She heard the front door open and saw Eric stumbling into the room. She could smell the alcohol on him as soon as he came in and she closed her eyes tighter, not wanting him to know she was awake. He turned on the light and messed around for a minute before turning the light back off and climbing in bed beside her. Jackie felt a tear rolling down her cheek as his breathe evened out and he fell asleep. They weren't even married yet and she was miserable.
Jackie still wasn't asleep 15 minutes later so she slipped out of bed and threw on a jacket over her white night shirt. She found her cigarettes and went out the front door to sit on the steps and smoke. Jackie had barely gotten her cigarette lit when she saw a figure walking towards her. Her heart began beating wildly when she saw who it was. Hyde sat on the step beside her without saying a word and lit up his own cigarette.
"Fun night?" She asked timidly. He looked over at her and smiled softly.
"Yeah you could say that. Your soon-to-be husband sure does know how to party." He chuckled to himself. "So why are you up. Couldn't sleep?" Jackie looked away from him and down at the ground.
"No, just worried." She answered shyly, not wanting him to know how much Eric recent behavior was effecting her. Hyde took her hand and pulled her off the step.
"Come with me." He said, taking her towards his apartment. They entered his house and he went into his bedroom for a moment before returning to where Jackie was sitting on the couch. "I got this for you. I realized I had never given you anything while we were, you know. But I wanted you to have this to remember me by." Hyde awkwardly explained, thrusting the small wrapped box into her hands. Jackie felt tears pricking her eyes as she unwrapped it and opened it to reveal a single diamond necklace.
"Oh Steven, its beautiful! Thank you! You shouldn't have done this!" Jackie exclaimed, taking it out of the box and turning so that he could put it on for her.
"I know, I just wanted you to have something to remember how I love you." Jackie looked into his eyes as he said this and couldn't stop herself from laying a gentle kiss on his lips. She pulled away slightly and looked at him one more time before getting off the couch and walking to the door. She had her hand on the doorknob before she turned to look at him again.
"Screw it." Jackie whispered to herself before rushing over to Hyde and capturing his lips with hers. They continued to kiss each other passionately, letting weeks of desire flood through. Jackie had moved her lips down to the column of Hyde's neck when he stopped her.
"Wait. We can't, remember? Eric, wedding, day after tomorrow? Any of that ringing a bell?" Hyde couldn't believe he was stopping her, in high school, he had never been this honorable. Jackie looked him in the eyes and let out a shaky breath.
"Just tonight, please Steven. I need you tonight. One last time?" She let her lips tremble and continued to look at his with big eyes. Hyde inwardly groan, but let himself deepen the kiss that she placed on his mouth. Her hands latched around his shoulders and his went under her robe, untying it and letting it slip to the floor. He pulled her shirt off with it and his hands began caressing the softness of her breasts, finding her hardened nipple, causing her to sigh with pleasure. She took of his shirt and unzipped his jeans as his mouth enclosed around one nipple. She felt how much he wanted her when her hand slipped into his boxers and found his erection. She finished undressing him and stood up to take of her panties. Jackie pressed Hyde back into the couch, straddling his hips and slowly lowering herself onto him. They both moaned as her wetness surrounded him, taking a minute before she began to slowly ride him. Hyde thought he was going to cum right then as he felt her hips buck against hers and he scratched his fingers down her back. He lifted her off of him and carried her into his bedroom, wanting to prolong their night as long as possible. Hyde took his time making love to Jackie and by the time he was done they were both breathless and shaking, laying in each other's arms.
"So, pretty damn good for one last time." Hyde tried to break the tension in the room. Jackie shifted in his arms to lean up and kiss the tip of his nose before sighing. "It can't happen again, Jacks." He too let out a sigh, wishing things were different, but she was getting married in less than two days.
"I know." Jackie said simply before giving him one more kiss and going to get dressed. It was late and she had to get back to bed before Eric woke up and wondered where she was. "I meant it when I said that I'd love you forever." She let the words slip through her lips quietly, tears already spilling down her cheeks.
"I know." Hyde replied, pulling her into his arms once again, kissing the top of her head. "Face it we're just another heartache, another failed romance." He grinned down at her with a cheesy grin, trying to lighten the mood. She turned and flashed him a small smile before letting herself out of the front door and returning to her apartment. She went quietly into the bedroom and picked up the shirt Eric had clumsily thrown on the floor earlier. Jackie went to throw it into the hamper, but cringed inwardly when she noticed the lipstick marks along the collar.
"How cliché." Jackie whispered quietly into the stale air of their bedroom. She climbed into bed and fell asleep surprisingly calm, knowing that she was going to call of the wedding in the morning.
The next morning, Jackie woke up not feeling quite as confident. She got dressed and started on her errands for the wedding. By the time the afternoon rolled around, she had already convinced herself that she shouldn't call off the wedding, so she began getting ready for the rehearsal dinner. The evening passed by without problems. The rehearsal went well and the dinner was fun. The gang of six found themselves at the same bar they had been at during Jackie and Eric's visit afterwards.
They were crammed into a small round booth, drinking and talking. Kelso sat on the end followed by Jackie, Hyde, Fez, Eric and then Donna. The server came over to check on them.
"Two shots of tequila for the bride and groom!" Kelso exclaimed to the waitress. She looked over at Donna and Eric.
"Oh you two must be so happy. I just love weddings! When is it?" She gushed to the two who looked awkwardly at her.
"Ummm, actually she's my bride and the wedding is tomorrow." Eric explained to her. Jackie sighed to herself. Even a stranger could see that her and Eric weren't meant to be together. As the waitress made her quick apologies and rushed away embarrassed, Jackie felt a comforting hand being placed on her leg. She looked up at Hyde and smiled and touched the necklace he had given her. He squeezed his hand on her leg and joined back in the conversation at the table.
A little while later, Jackie found her self alone at the bar once again. She looked around to see Eric and Hyde talking intently and Donna on the dance floor with Fez. She heard someone take the seat next to her.
"You know, for someone getting married tomorrow, you sure don't look excited." Kelso told her as he lit the cigarette she had in her hand for her. Jackie smiled warmly at the man beside her. Jackie and Kelso had dated for awhile during high school, but despite their hard breakup, Jackie always considered him one of her best friends. No one quite understood her in the way he did, they were a lot alike.
"Michael, have you ever made a choice and by the time you realized it wasn't the best one, it was too late?" Jackie asked him seriously, casting a glance at the two men on the other side of the room.
"Jackie, you know I love you, but something isn't right about you and Eric. In fact these last few weeks, it hasn't even seemed like ya'll were together. Sometime the best decisions are the hardest ones to follow through with, like with me and my daughter and letting Brooke move to Chicago before she was born. But I know you and I know you are a good person and whatever you do will work out." Kelso took her hand and squeezed it.
"Eric loves me and I do love him, but I don't think it is the kind of love we have tried to make it. I think it is more of the friendship kind of love." She paused before continuing. "I'm in love with Steven." Jackie looked at Kelso and didn't see the look of surprise she thought would be there.
"I know Jackie, I could tell by the way you both looked at each other. So what are you going to do about it?" Jackie just looked down at her drink and when she looked back up Kelso was gone, leaving her with her thoughts.
Eric was leaving the bathroom when a hand gripped onto him, pulling him into the shadows. "Hey you." The sultry voice said. He looked over and saw it was Donna. He looked around the bar before pressing a small kiss on her lips.
"Come with me." He said as he pulled her out the side entrance. They were barely out the door before her lips were on his. They continued to invade each other's mouths, not hearing the door being opened. Before they could pull away they heard a throat being cleared.
