So we are going to jump to Thanksgiving Day here, hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 14

Jackie woke early Thanksgiving morning; she smiled and stretched as she was tightly held in the arms of the man she suddenly found herself head over heels in love with.

So far, they hadn't made it into Jackie's room to sleep. They ended up on the pull out again last night. Jackie felt like when the time was right for them it would be in her room where they finally made love.

Jackie twisted a little in Eric's grasp and rolled away from him. He made a quiet groan and buried his face in the pillow. Jackie stood up and pulled her pajama shirt back on which had made a disappearance in the passionate kissing and touching the night before.

"Time is it?" Eric mumbled, his face still in the pillow.

Jackie glanced at the wall clock as she headed to the bathroom.

"7:13," she smirked as Eric groaned again, "We have to get to Michael and Brooke's by nine so I can put the turkey in or it won't be ready in time."

She could hear Eric shuffling out of the bed as she went about her morning business; she stripped her clothes as she waited for the water in the shower to warm.

She sighed with relief as she stepped under the warm spray. There was a small knock on the door just as she finished rinsing out her shampoo.

"Jackie-," Eric said from the other side, "this might not be a good time, but I really have to pee."

Jackie giggled, "Come on then."

The door opened and Eric walked into the steam filled bathroom, quickly taking care of what he need to before flushing… which was a bad idea.

Jackie shrieked loudly as the water rapidly changed temperature, spraying her with hotter water.

Eric threw open the curtain, "Oh my God! Jackie, I'm so sorry! I wasn't even paying attention! I, uh-" He stopped and stared at her.

Jackie stood on the far end of the shower away from the water; she was glaring at him with her hands on her hips. She didn't seem to care much that she was wet and naked standing in all her glory for him to see.

"You are dead, Forman," she said quietly.

With that she grabbed his arm and with surprising force pulled him into the shower with her.

Caught off guard Eric stood under the shower spray.

"Hot! Hot!" he yelped. He moved out from under the spray.

Jackie smirked and pulled him to her, wrapping her arms around his chest. She looked up at him.

Eric smiled back down at her, "Yeah, I deserved that."

"Yes, you did," Jackie conceded, rubbing her hands up and down his back.

"As sexy as this could be right now, Jackie, my boxers are totally soaked," Eric said.

Jackie looked down, "Well, that's not fair, now is it?" She hooked her fingers into the sides of his boxer shorts and pushed them down his legs. She grinned to herself at the sharp intake of breath from above her.

Eric stepped out of the shorts as Jackie came back up to his level and pressed herself against him. She backed them up back under the water, which had since cooled. They stood under the spray, their arms wrapped around each other.

"This is nice," Jackie whispered.

Eric gulped, suddenly worried that certain, uh…. physical reactions might freak her out at this point, "y-yeah, ummm, Jackie, I- uh,"

Jackie looked up at him, "Don't worry, Eric, You're a guy and let's face it, I'm hot."

Eric laughed, "Yes, yes, you are." He dipped his head to hers and kissed her. Jackie responded in kind allowing his tongue entrance. Eric ran his hands up and down Jackie's sides and back up her back. She gasped into his mouth a little when his hands stopped at her butt and gave it a squeeze.

"I like shower time," Eric said, as he placed a kiss on her forehead.

"And I'm sure it's only going to get better," Jackie promised. Eric raised his eyebrows and she grinned up at him.

After the pair had finished their "sexy shower" as Eric had dubbed it. They bustled around the apartment putting on clothes and getting ready to head over to the Kelso's.

Eric gathered the groceries he and Jackie had purchased the other day and set them on the counter for when they were ready to leave.

Eric sat in quiet contemplation while Jackie finished her hair and make-up. He wasn't quite sure what their future held, it was still so new right now, but the feelings that this girl unlocked in him were unlike anything he had ever felt before. He couldn't explain it, he loved her, he knew that much. Now articulating that to her would be another matter all together.

His thoughts were cut short as Jackie appeared before him.

"You ready?" she asked.

Eric smiled serenely at her. She was wearing a dark denim dress and tall brown boots; her hair was perfectly curled as always and pulled back at the sides.

"Yeah," he answered, "You look beautiful."

She smiled from ear to ear, her eyes sparkling at him.

"You look pretty damn good yourself," she stated, eyeing him up and down.

She walked up to him and planted a sweet kiss on his lips. He responded by dipping her back a little to which she giggled appreciatively.

"Okay, let's go before we can't make it out the door," Eric said pulling away from her kiss.

They were out the door by 8:56 and walked the short distance to the Kelso household
