Author Note: Hope you enjoy! Again guys, this chapter is very long but regardless, I hope you like it! :-)
Eric held the door open for Jackie as they went in the school, the first couple Eric and Jackie saw was Hyde and Donna making out heavily by the bubbler.
Hyde laughed upon the sight in front of him, "I think I've seen everything!" he said pulling away from Donna.
The redhead turned to see what Hyde was talking about, Donna gasped over dramatically, "Uh oh! All major clique rules have been broken! I think I hear a black hole forming somewhere!" she teased as she wiped her lips.
Jackie didn't care about being teased for being here with the most unlikely candidate, she was just too happy to be here, she just nodded, "Yeah, and if you should all know...Eric asked me!" Jackie stated with another 1000 watt smile.
Hyde and Donna bawled in laughter, Eric immediately held up his hand in defense, "Whoa! It was not that simple, there was more to it than that, okay?" he defended himself, he quickly looked at Jackie shooting her a look that said; "What the hell?!"
Hyde stopped laughing to speak, "But you did ask her?" Donna stopped laughing to listen.
The brunette giggled, her arm still hooked in his from the walk in, "Yes, he did! Let's dance already, Eric!" Jackie said taking Eric's hand and lead him towards the gym doors.
Once in the gym, Eric pinched Jackie's arm, "What the hell was that?"
Jackie laughed, taking her arm from his, "Relax, I'm just messing around. If you're my date, you'll need a sense of humor, I'm having fun already!" she replied looking at him with that one of a kind smile again, he tried to refrain but ended up smiling back at her, they both examined the the gym, it looked like the gym, but with music and streamers, and filled wall to wall with kids, teachers, and chaperones.
They saw Fez doing provocative dance moves relatively close to his female English teacher, she was rolling her eyes...still, trying to keep from laughing.
Hyde and Donna came up behind them, "Let's sit down, I wanna see how Kelso reacts to you two coming here together." she stated, "We're over here." pointed towards a table in mixed with the other tables in the gym.
The 2 couples talked for a bit, Donna and Hyde tried to pry out of Eric and Jackie how they came to the idea of coming here together, but Jackie chose to keep changing the subject, the event that lead up to the big question from Eric wasn't important to her anymore, they made up and that's all that mattered right now.
"Mrs. Kaminsky is not a good date..." Fez said suddenly in a rejected tone, approaching the table.
Eric laughed from his chair, "That's cause she's not your date, dude."
Fez looked and saw the 2 people he knew shouldn't be here and immediately questioned, "What is this? Why are you and Jackie here?" he asked, Fez studied the table more with his face utterly in detective mode, "Why are you even sitting right next to each other, you two hate each other." he pointed out, and with Fez under his own firm belief that Jackie was 'rightfully' his after the break up, Fez suddenly pieced it together.
Fez stomped his foot to the wooden floor like a child, "Eric, I told you Jackie was mine! You bastard!" he damn near scolded Eric, who was just sitting in his chair not knowing what to say to his foreign friend.
Eric decided to take Jackie's advice about a sense of humor, "Sorry Fez...I just couldn't hold back my immense feelings for Jackie anymore. It was inevitable, she's Jackie Burkhart, man!" Eric said in his trademark sarcastic tone, but Fez (still getting used to the American humor) didn't catch on at all. So he took the rest of this joke seriously, much to the benefit of humor for the rest of table.
Hyde and Donna were having a giggle fit quietly to themselves at the strange altercation taking place, and Jackie decided to play along and stood up from her chair and abruptly sat on Eric's lap, much to his genuine shock and surprise, Eric was taken back by how feather light she was on his thighs, he did his best not to look too much into it but Jackie then draped an arm along his shoulders and pulled him towards her body, "Oh yeah, Fez! You should have been there, he had some sweet music playing, he already had his snazzy tux on..." the raven haired beauty explained, her fingers playfully tugging at the suit's collar for effect, "-Oh, my God, it was so adorable! I always knew he was a sappy romantic so he I knew he would be the perfect date." The brunette caused Hyde and Donna to start laughing out loud, not holding back for their foreign friend at this point.
Eric felt the whole 'premature tux before asking her' thing was a bit too much, but he had to admit it made him refrain from laughing at the sheer ridiculousness of how stupid that idea would be actually be. He would back up any story as long as the much more bittersweet event that actually happened stay between just him and Jackie.
Eric had a hard time playing along in the joke at this point with Jackie still sitting in his lap, right arm on around his shoulder while the left was on his arm for even more effect, Hyde and Donna had to admit the Eric and Jackie were the life of the prom right now, the best part was that Fez, who was much like other couples, were shocked to see Jackie on Eric's lap.
"He even had flowers for me! Well...a form of flower." Jackie added with glee, holding up her wrist, showing her corsage to the table, her genuine happiness while displaying the corsage was the only thing that wasn't sarcastic from her during this. She truly did love this little flower.
Seeing Fez not at all getting the joke they were putting on, Jackie dropped the act and scoffed, "Come on, Fez! There's nothing romantic between me and Eric, he asked because he knew I wanted to go to prom, Eric was just being nice to me." the brunette told him taking her arm back off Eric's shoulder and sitting with her hands in her lap.
"Well, I asked you and said no!" Fez stated matter of factly.
Jackie started getting sarcastically questionable looks from the table, she figured there was no way out of it, "Oh, I'm sorry, Fez. It's just that...you're foreign."
The foreigner grumbled, "I'm gonna go by Mrs. Kaminsky! Good day..." Fez started, clearly waiting for someone to fill in the blank.
The table was silent for a bit, Eric spoke, "But Fez..." he finally spoke reluctantly.
"I said good day!" Fez told the table before leaving.
"That's really getting old." Hyde stated, and everyone laughed and nodded.
'I'm Not In Love' by 10cc came on, Donna immediately took Hyde's hand and dragged him to the dance floor almost on relfex, Donna wasn't exactly one for romance but even she had her limits.
Jackie had gotten so used to sitting in Eric's lap that she forgot she was sitting on his thigh for the longest time, she finally chuckled nervously and sat up, "Sorry about that, Eric...kind of took it too far, huh?" Jackie asked her unlikely date.
Eric coughed nervously, "I don't mind having a hot chick sitting on my lap...so I'm good..." he teased.
Jackie just looked at him with an all knowing (almost glorious) smile, Eric's heart started to race, "Oh, crap..." he thought, the stunning brunette continued to gaze into his eyes.
Jackie chuckled softly after a soft bit, "You want to dance, Eric?" she asked, completely shamelessly which surprised Eric as he was supposed to ask her. He didn't want to dance, his nervousness wouldn't allow it, but this was prom, he had to dance with his date.
"Yeah...of course." Eric replied with a smile.
Jackie's lips formed an even bigger smile, "Come on." she told him as the brunette took Eric's hand as they made their way to a space where they could dance, Eric knew how to slow dance...he didn't know how he knew...maybe it came natural in his family?
Jackie seemed to know what she was doing too, she put her hand on Eric's shoulder and the other one on his back, keeping him close. Eric put both of his hands on her curvy hips, he knew right away it was one of her attributes, Eric told himself not to step on her shoes while they were slow dancing.
"Who would have thought huh, Eric?" Jackie asked as she broke the comfortable silence, the brunette pulled him closer a bit into her warm embrace, he was warm too and she strangely like him close to her.
It made her feel safe and like she was untouchable to anyone except Eric.
Eric laughed sweetly, "Yeah. Can't say I saw it coming either, but it did."
"I'm really glad it did though...you haven't stepped on my nice shoes yet." the brunette joked.
Eric laughed, "Yeah, that's how you know a date is going well."
Jackie chuckled, "We're on a date, Eric?" she asked him, she knew this was a date, but she was curious to know what Eric thought it was.
The lights were dimmed as the gym was filled with other slow dancing couples, Hyde and Donna were maybe 10 feet away lost in their own world as well.
God, could she make him nervous, "Y-yeah...? I mean...what else would this be, right?" Eric responded, trying to be confident in saying so.
Jackie smiled at him, "I guess it is. You really do look handsome tonight, Eric." she told him, she seemed to come in a little closer in their embrace until their torsos were pressing, having her breasts against his chest was...worrying for Eric.
"You too. Well-not handsome, I mean. Beautiful...you are...I mean." Eric just stammered, "Nice going, dumbass..." he told himself.
Jackie just giggled at him, he was too cute when he was nervous, so he was cute for the majority of the night, "I know what you mean, Eric."
Her multi-colored eyes couldn't help but stare at his lips, she couldn't take her eyes off them or her mind off the idea of kissing him, her mind scolded her impulses, only for her to notice how nicely shaped his lips actually were, "Fuck it..." the brunette told herself, not caring for any criticisms she might get from other students.
None other than Kelso tapped Jackie on the shoulder interrupting just before Eric could realize Jackie was about to kiss him, "Jackie, can I talk to you for a second?" Kelso asked insistently and forcefully before Jackie even turned around.
Eric cursed silently, "Fuck.", the night was going so well and now it was over cause Kelso realized what he was missing out on.
Eric knew Jackie would go back to Kelso, it was typical for him to be ditched and left alone yet again...
Eric's eyes looked down, but heard Jackie speak something he didn't expect, "Dammit, what do you want, Michael? I'm trying to dance here." Jackie retorted impatiently, her teeth gritting.
"WHY the hell are you here with him?!" Kelso yelled getting the attention of some nearby couples.
Jackie groaned, "Eric is my date tonight, Michael. Eric is my friend and what I do with him is of no concern to you or your whore." Jackie shot at him with anger bubbling over.
"You told me yourself that you can't stand Eric! You said he's not even your 'so called' friend and that you completely hate him!" Kelso ranted and raved.
Eric couldn't help but look down as a sharp pain invaded his chestal section, that really hurt him, like really hurt, and he just felt like he didn't belong here now, "I'm...gonna go. I'll...see you later, Jackie." he told her sadly as he started to walk off.
Jackie immediately turned and grabbed his arm, "No, Eric! Don't...don't leave, okay? Just give me and him a minute, just...don't leave. We had a deal, remember? You promised!" she pleaded, "This won't take long, okay?" his brunette date assured him.
Eric nodded reluctantly, if what Kelso said was true he wanted to leave, he really wanted to avoid the eventual talk from Jackie saying she was gonna stay with Kelso, "Fine, I'll stay." Eric replied, Jackie breathed a sigh of relief, Eric began walking over to the punch bowl, he saw Timmy pouring Vodka in it earlier and he could use some right now.
Eric drank a decent swig from his cup, "Hey." Donna said walking over.
Eric smiled grimly, "Hey." he said drinking more from his cup.
"You should have seen the way you and Jackie were looking at each other out there." Donna teased him, "So you did ask her?" the red headed girl asked him.
Eric nodded, "Yeah. She seemed really bummed about Kelso not asking her, or just not going to the prom at all, so after you left the room earlier, I asked why she didn't ask him herself...and she said that the guy is supposed to ask the girl." Eric replied, Donna got herself some punch.
"Did you just go over to her house and ask her?" she asked him again.
Eric shook his head, "No, she came over...well, you know Jackie, of course she got the idea of me and her going together. I said no and wanted that to be my answer...but I yelled at her for the way she treated me sometimes and...she started crying...like, for real."
Donna was taken back Eric would yell at Jackie, but he continued, "God, I felt so terrible for what I did. I was being a dumbass. So I thought we could start being friends from now on, I asked her to be my date outside and she said yes." Eric explained, he smiled remembering their hug and the talk they had, that was a big moment for them.
Donna smiled and was touched, she wasn't one for sappy romance but that warmed her heart, "Eric...that was so sweet of you." she stated, drinking some of her punch, she knew right away it had stuff that wasn't all punch in it.
Eric chuckled, "She gave 4 rules for me to follow tonight." he joked.
Donna giggled, "That sounds like her alright. What are they?" she asked him.
"Rule number one: Don't ditch her for another girl. Rule number two: Don't cop a feel of her..." Eric explained but he remembered her little action of gropingherself when she explained this rule, "...'assets'. Rule number three: No goodnight kisses. Rule number 4: No checking her out which is proving to be very difficult." Eric said as he watched her talk to Kelso, that red dress's slit by her legs showed him her toned thigh downwards, it almost called out to him.
God, he wanted her back in his arms, his mouth was watering at the site of her body.
Donna grinned at what Eric was doing, she saw his eyes were on Jackie, "You may have remembered all the rules, but you're breaking rule number 4, Foreplay." his redheaded friend teased him.
Donna smiled at him, she couldn't believe he was falling in love with Jackie during their first date, "She's lucky to have you for a date, Eric."
Eric made a 'tsk' sound, "Yeah, well...Jackie's probably gonna finish the night with Kelso now." he said with disappointment, he enjoyed the night he had with her, he was thankful for everything, more so getting to touch her body.
She just laughed, "I don't think so, you two seemed to have some...real chemistry out there." Donna told him before Jackie walked over from where she was with Kelso.
Donna noticed Kelso's mouth was hung open presumably in shock from where the confrontation just happened, "Eric, come on. I set him straight...I think." Jackie said with a smile.
Eric stood there for a few seconds, "You're not gonna go with him?" he asked hopefully
Jackie gave him a strange look, "No...we had a deal, remember?" the raven haired girl reminded him calmly.
Eric shrugged his shoulders, "Okay...awesome." he stated trying not to sound too happy, Donna smiled at Eric who certainly looked like he belonged with Jackie here tonight. Eric looked like he was having fun with her also, she was happy for him.
Once Eric and Jackie resumed their dance on the gym floor, 'Broken Wings' by Mr. Mister came on, Eric spoke up after putting his hands on those lovely hips of hers, "Are you okay with Kelso?"
Jackie smiled at him sweetly, "Yeah, I am. It was harder than I thought it would be. I told him I wasn't gonna be his pocket girlfriend; pulling me out only when he wanted me. I suppose I was doing the same thing now that I think about it. It really means a lot that you came with me, Eric. You didn't have to." the curly haired brunette told him, her arms made their way from his back to rest on his shoulders and around his neck, Jackie wanted him so much closer even their bodies were pressed against each others.
Her thumb rubbed the nape of his neck affectionately, those mismatched eyes locked on his.
This made Eric nervous momentarily, but he got used to it relatively quickly, "It was nothing, really." he replied in a bashful way.
Jackie shook her head, "No, Eric." she told sternly, "You didn't have to do that, but you did even when I wasn't very nice to you and I don't really even know why you did it still." Jackie explained seriously, she noticed just how dark it was in the gym, the only light was reflecting off the disco ball, the gym was filled with other couples.
"Well...I knew there wasn't a reason for me not to go with you, and when you cried, I don't know...I didn't like hearing it because of something I could have prevented. You deserve better than to be treated like that." Eric said explaining his reasons.
Jackie laughed, "Guys really don't like hearing women cry, don't they?"
Eric laughed back, "That's one of our all time fears: Seeing women cry and any signs of commitment." Eric joked, he still hadn't stepped on her shoes, he knew they were dancing fairly well.
Jackie snickered, "Or in your case: spiders."
"Naturally. Or in your case: acne." Eric retorted teasingly.
Jackie giggled and nodded, "I haven't had acne in years, I've outgrown it." the raven haired girl assured him confidently.
Eric's face fell, he then appeared to be looking at a certain point on Jackie's face, "What?"
Eric exhaled, "I wouldn't be so sure about that, Jackie..." he stated, "You got something right there..."
Jackie kicked his shin, Eric bit his lip and groaned, "Shut it. I look perfect tonight..." Jackie retorted sternly.
Eric nodded, "Yes, I know."
She giggled, her face then went to seriousness, "But seriously, I don't have anything, right?" Jackie asked him.
Eric shook his head, "No, you look perfect." he replied, Jackie blushed redder than her dress yet again.
"Was what he said true?" Eric asked her softly, he almost forgot about that.
Jackie pulled him close, Eric wasn't ashamed to admit he was getting aroused feeling her soft mounds pressing on him, it Jackie Burkhart after all, "Eric, no. You may be the sweetest most caring guy I'll ever meet. He only said that because he knew it would hurt us, I've always been able to come to you like friends should. I can't even begin to say how many times you've had my back. I...well, just thank you for everything, Eric." she assured him in her trademark sweet voice.
Jackie blushed, "In fact...I've always thought you were...cute...in a nerdy...sexy sort of way." she told him, her eyes locked on his but Jackie was blushing madly.
Eric's eyes shot open wider than before, "Really? Me? No way..." he asked completely shocked.
Jackie smiled, bit her lip and nodded, "Yes. There's something about...you. Something about the way you talk, look and dress that...makes me...I don't know,crazy." the brunette admitted to her small...secret...nerd boy crush.
"WOW..." Eric said simply.
Jackie giggled, "Don't get all twitchy. It's isn't like emotional or anything, sometimes...you make me do a double take of you." she smirked.
It shocked him that they were getting along amazingly well, he never even fathomed the idea of Jackie being beautiful or even hot before this night.
All her annoying talking and domineering voice had ruined it in the past, but tonight, Jackie Burkhart was a shocking pleasure to be around. Not so much herself, but it all seemed to fit nicely with her personality.
Maybe it was the prom that brought the nice things out, like from being a snarky, insulting, rich, self centered, insensitive spoiled bitch who looks down on others 'below' her status in school...to being a sweet, beautiful, considerate, tender-hearted, compassionate prom date he was falling in love with.
Eric was glad he went with Jackie tonight, he knew this was gonna be the only time they would close like this, both physically and emotionally, if this was gonna be it, Eric wouldn't be able to find words to express how happy he would be to that.
Hyde and Donna had left, tonight wasn't gonna be the night for them to do it, and Hyde was fine with that, it didn't feel right, but that didn't mean they had a terrible time of course.
Jackie and Eric danced until the gym started to clear out, Eric's date looked around, "This night went by a little fast I feel." she stated, almost with sadness.
Jackie never thought she would be enjoying a dance with Eric, let alone this date, it felt as if they were in an alternate universe in which they got along.
"It felt a little short but I'm having the best night of my life." Eric told her, little did they know; they had danced for over an hour and a half.
Jackie smiled at him, "Me too." she had her arms wrapped around his neck and it made Eric feel all warm and fuzzy inside his chest, he ran his hands up her perfectly shaped curves once and then back down.
The goosebumps on Jackie's arm were visible and Eric's eyes went to her arms, which were still wrapped around his shoulders, and saw the goosebumps, and he laughed.
Jackie blushed even more heavily than she was when he first ran his hands up her dress before, "It's just cold in here...is all." she defended herself terribly.
Eric nodded, although he caught her lie, "Oh...okay." he assured trying not to make her uncomfortable.
"Do you wanna sit down? These heels kinda hurt." Jackie asked him with a smile.
Eric smiled, "Yeah, sure." Eric replied, his next move shocked Jackie and even him as he slipped his hand into hers as they made their way to the table.
In those few moments Jackie felt a number of things, Number 1: an unfamiliar feeling that she never got when Kelso held her hand, all she knew about this new feeling was that she liked it. Number 2: Jackie was scared that this was getting a little too romantic.
This was Eric Forman. Donna was right and that this was a major clique breach since she was feeling...something she couldn't put a name on. Jackie suddenly had regrets of asking him, although he did ask her...just like she wanted, she couldn't have any feelings towards Eric Forman.
"Oh, my God! Even the way we danced was romantic!" Jackie thought to herself, "I was the one who put my arms around his shoulders, I was the one who got goosebumps when he ran his hands up my body! I told him I have had a crush on him!"
Without thinking she took her hand out of his...
Eric's gut fell down his legs and melted in his shoes, he thought Jackie maybe was feeling whatever it was between them, "I was only holding her hand...was it that bad?" he thought to himself.
Eric thought they were having some good moments tonight, and that holding her hand would be a perfect gesture for someone who is all about romance, but Jackie apparently thought otherwise.
That brought Eric down. Way down. He had come to terms he had gotten a crush on Jackie throughout the night, and then he just blew it.
Just like every other girl he tried and eventually failed with, "Damned if I do, damned I don't." Eric thought angrily.
Jackie sat down at their table, "Uh...I'm gonna get something to drink." Eric stated, "Do you want something?" he added trying to not show how fucking sad he was now.
Jackie felt like the most ungrateful bitch ever at that moment after seeing his face and how hurt and sad it looked.
Eric was clearly affected by what she did. Jackie felt ungrateful because all she ever told Michael to do was to be romantic, that he should romance her. And then she got it from someone and she rejected him because she thought she was too good for him.
But now all she wanted was to take that back, and more so to have his hand back in hers.
"Yeah...okay." Jackie spoke softly.
"I'm just gonna...go to the bathroom first." Eric told her and he quickly walked off.
Jackie felt terrible for what she did, Eric already got rejected by Donna and then she goes and does the same damn thing, Jackie sat at the table hoping Eric wasn't too hurt...but she knew he was.
Eric pushed the bathroom door open angrily, "I get rejected; what the fuck is new?!" Eric thought bitterly, he sighed and tried to calm himself down, "This doesn't really mean anything anyway, does it? I'm overreacting. Jackie asked me as a last resort and this doesn't and won't mean anything and never will."he told himself despite how much he didn't want to believe how it won't mean anything.
Eric heard the door open and turned to leave not thinking it wasn't anybody he knew, but he saw Kelso standing there.
Eric stopped and gulped quietly.
"Why the hell are you doing here with my girlfriend?" Kelso angrily shot at him, several other guys immediately left the bathroom to avoid being caught in the middle of the two.
"She's not your girlfriend anymore. You cheated on her and she broke up with you." he said simply, trying not to sound mean, but with saying that particular statement it was hard not to do so.
Kelso paused briefly before speaking, "Yeah, like a month ago, God! I've changed since then!" he shouted.
Eric laughed, but quickly stopped, "So you went through a complete catharsis in about a month?" Eric asked him.
Kelso got a confused look on his face, "Huh?"
Eric rolled his eyes,"Right. I can't use big words with him." he thought to himself, "You have completely changed since then? You would never cheat on Jackie again? Say Tanya Roberts wanted to sleep with you when you were with Jackie. You wouldn't do it?" Eric asked.
"Come on, Eric! You can't honestly say you wouldn't sleep with Tanya Roberts."
"If I was with anyone, I wouldn't cheat on them. Especially Jackie!" he told his friend, "Jackie is the sweetest girl I've ever met who you have hurt more times than I can count, she doesn't deserve the shit you do to her!" Eric shot back at Kelso, who was taking some steps back from Eric.
"Why the FUCK would you ever cheat on her?!" Eric yelled, even screamed at Kelso, "All she ever wanted was for you to not cheat on her, but that's all youever do! You're a Goddamn bastard, Kelso!" Eric shot at him, Kelso was in shock at Eric's actions, but Forman could care less.
Eric went on, "Look, it doesn't even matter, okay? This was a one night only thing with me and Jackie, she was crying and wanted a prom date and I was there. You can reconcile tomorrow for all I care. But tonight, I'm her date. So just back the fuck off." Eric shot at his friend before walking back out.
Eric shook his head and made his way back to the gym, he made his way to the punch table and got 2 cups for him and Jackie, he turned and saw his...'date' still sitting in her seat looking rather sad until she saw Eric who dropped the hand incident, and she seemed to light up a bit, "Hey." Jackie greeted a tad happier and anxious.
Eric smiled, "Hey. Here you go." he replied, happy to see she was better from her look of sadness before.
As Jackie drank her punch, Eric looked at her and basked in her beauty, she looked so damn gorgeous right now. That red dress stole the whole show and Eric knew girls were jealous of her beauty.
Eric was very taken back by how perfect her curled hair was, it had no pins and it was just flawless, he loved the red dress on her, her breasts were amazing in this dress, she was amazing in this dress, "Jackie, you're really beautiful." Eric blurted out, he panicked momentarily but calmed as he saw her smile sweetly at him.
"Thank you, Eric." Jackie replied with a sweet smile, she drank the rest of her punch smiling.
Eric smiled and nodded, Jackie continued to smile and look at him, Jackie didn't panic as they were yet another moment tonight, she felt those fuzzy warm feelings again and they didn't subside and she liked it like that.
Eric felt it too, he tried to be bold yet again, he scooted his chair over by her and Jackie kept on smiling at him, she wanted to make it up to him for what she did earlier and she wanted to see what he was gonna do...Eric didn't even what he was gonna do...he knew he wanted to kiss those juicy red lips of hers, touch those curves that lay under that skin tight dress.
The voice that ruined the moment was the gym teacher telling them to leave, as everyone else was.
"Hey, we're closing up now, you'll have to leave. I hope you guys had fun!" The unknown teacher told them.
Eric felt like the night went by a little fast, but he had a ton of fun nonetheless, "You wanna go now?" Eric asked, even though they didn't have a choice.
Jackie nodded, she grabbed Eric's wrist to see his watch, "It's only 11:04. You wanna get something to eat?" Jackie asked, the night felt a little short so she figured they could still have fun. Her dad wasn't home as always, so she didn't have a certain time to be home.
Eric was taken back but kept his cool well, "Um, yeah sure. But a lot of restaurants are closed."
Jackie nodded, "Yeah, but McDonald's is still open." she told him insistently.
Eric laughed, "Jackie Burkhart settling for fast food?" he exclaimed feigning shock.
Jackie chuckled as well, "Well, I haven't eaten all day."
Eric nodded, "Well, don't you have to be home? Your dad will freak if-" Eric started to say.
Jackie waved her hand up, "He's not there right now, and won't be till the morning. It'll be fine." she assured him, she just didn't feel like going home right then, she was having a good time and wanted it to keep going.
Eric laughed and smiled, "Okay. The most romantic thing to do on prom night get some McDonalds." he joked, standing up Jackie took his hand and they made their way out of the gym.
As they made their way back to Jackie's Lincoln Continental, Kelso saw them and wasn't sure what to think that they were here together...or leaving together.
Eric held the door open for her, Jackie got in and a few seconds later, Eric got in the driver's seat. Jackie turned on her radio and sat there as Eric drove off.
Jackie saw a Tucson's, which was a Ice Cream place which also did food, that was still open, "Eric, let's go there!" the excited brunette exclaimed, she hadn't good ice cream in months.
Eric laughed, "Whatever you say.", Jackie had gone here many times and even tried to get the gang to go there a few times, but they always shot it down.
But Eric wanted Jackie to have a good time because he knew this was an important night to her, Eric still was shocked with how nice she could be when it was just himself and Jackie.
They didn't hang out much and when they did, everybody else was around and Jackie and Eric never saw how much they could enjoy each others company. That was blocked from the wall of peer pressure their friends created, but they seemed fine by it at the prom at some point for them...
Jackie saw the place was pretty well packed in the outside tables, which was where Jackie liked to sit even more so tonight since it was so nice out with it being a little windy and hot out.
Jackie wanted to be alone with Eric without some obnoxious people bothering them, "Eric, could you go through the drive through? We could go to the place behind the park? Or 'The Reservoir'? " Jackie suggested, "I just don't wanna be in public wearing a nice dress like this at a ice cream parlor." she admitted, Eric laughed and nodded, "Whatever you want, Jackie."
According To Jackie: The Place Behind The Park...11:34pm
Jackie and Eric talked about random stuff and we're having fun, they were having ice cream and laying on the hood of the car laying against the windshield, Eric took his jacket off and Jackie had it draped over her legs to keep them warm.
Eric had tucked his out shirt as well, Jackie had taken her heels off and stayed barefoot while laying on the hood of the car, they were looking up at the sky, Eric noticed Jackie's painted toes had the same pattern as her fingernails, she was just so damn cute.
Jackie laid next to Eric, her right arm hooked between his left, "I hope you and Michael can still be friends after this. I saw him go in after you in the bathroom. I thought I heard yelling." she said after some rather comfortable silence.
Eric nodded, "Yeah, I yelled at him. I got so pissed about the way he treats you, and yeah, I lashed out at him. You deserve so much better Jackie." he told her, Jackie took his hand into hers, "I deserve someone like you, Eric." she thought happily to herself as she licked some strawberry ice cream off her lips.
I think so. He's smart so I think he'll understand." Eric assured her, he finished the rest of his vanilla ice cream and dropped the cup off the tire.
Jackie stared at him, "Michael? Smart? Understanding?" Jackie repeated, she took a spoonful of her strawberry ice cream and consumed it.
Eric nodded, "Kelso may be downright stupid and a complete idiot at times, but in some ways he can be respectful to people in serious situations. And he can be smart, you know those pictures that have the same image but have small things in them that are different? I remember I gave him 2 pictures of the Statue Of Liberty and told him to find the differences...it took him 5 ½ hours to finish." he informed her.
"Hmm. How long till he found a difference in the pictures?" Jackie asked, she took the same soda and took a small sip from it. They decided to share a soda and didn't mind too much.
Eric shook his head, "Well, he didn't. But he still tried." he explained, and he took the soda and drank from it again, he tasted Jackie strawberry ice cream but it wasn't too bad.
Jackie laughed, "Well...he looked at it for 6 hours! That doesn't count." she replied.
Eric nodded and laughed, "Well, in his defense, they had no differences...they were the same exact pictures." Eric told Jackie and burst out in giggles.
Eric laughed too, "But he tried and didn't give up and that counts for something." he added, Jackie stopped giggling.
Jackie scooted herself under Eric's arm, it was almost like they were laying in bed, Eric's hand was on the other side of her hip feeling the silky dress that covered her and her perfume was intoxicating, Jackie thought the same about his cologne and aftershave, she thought and hoped this might make up for her denying his hand holding gesture from earlier, "Thanks for tonight, Eric. I'm having a lot of fun...so thank you." Jackie told him sincerely.
Jackie wanted to show him a good time now.
"Could I have a spoon of your ice cream?" the brunette asked him sweetly, she sat up on the hood after she asked.
Eric sat up and nodded, "Yeah, of course." he said scooping some of his on his spoon, and handing it to her for her to take...
But she leaned her head forward wrapped her mouth around the spoon and sucked the ice cream off the spoon in one fluid motion, "Mmm." Jackie moaned slowly, after she swallowed the ice cream, she looked at him suggestively and licked some left over vanilla ice cream from her juicy red lips.
Eric's face was exactly the way Jackie expected it to be; pale, eyes wide and staring at her lips, no doubt he was aroused.
The raven haired girl smiled at him, "Mmm...that was so good." she said in a low voice.
Eric gulped, "Y-yeah?" he squeaked out, Jackie nodded her head.
"D-do you want another spoon?" he asked her quickly following her physical response.
Jackie grinned at him, "I'd love one." Eric nodded and got another scoop out and looked at her to see she was now scooting over to get closer to him, he held the spoon up for her, he tried to calm his shaking hand before she made her move.
Jackie held the top of his hand kept her eyes on his eyes as she moved in, she moaned as she wrapped her lips around the spoon and slowly sucked off the ice cream, a very small amount dripped onto her chin and Eric decided to act confident for once, and he dipped the spoon to chin and dragged it back up, taking the ice cream up on the spoon.
Jackie graciously accepted the move, after she cleaned the spoon, she giggled at him seeing his reaction to her no doubt hot gesture.
Eric was still very aroused by that whole ice cream feeding and just nodded, "We should come here more often." he told with his squeaky voice disappearing.
Eric rubbed her side up and down, she raised her head and Eric smiled down at her and realized what he could do at this moment, Jackie was looking at his lips, he mirrored the same action, the brunette licked her lips clean.
Jackie looked so damn beautiful, her hair was still utterly flawless with those curls like perfect ocean waves, and that dress hugged those curves he wanted to touch again, her lipstick made her lips look radiant in the moonlight and Eric couldn't help but want to break rule number 3 right now.
It was at this moment that they heard one siren go off and the collection of red and blue lights filled the area, a cops flashlight shined on them, "What are you 2 kids up to?" the cop asked them.
Eric's heart raced as he sat up, his voice shaking, his heart raced and felt like it was gonna explode, cops just naturally made him nervous, "Um-um..we-" Eric was starting to reply until hearing Jackie's voice cut him off.
"We just came from the prom and were just hanging out." Jackie spoke sitting up quickly, "We weren't doing anything." the calm brunette replied, she saw and heard how nervous Eric was and decided to take charge.
The cop nodded, he thought the two, much like other young couples who came around here, were making out, but he was mistaken, "Okay. But you guys gotta clear out, you can't be here this late. You guys gotta go." The cop informed them, he soon got back in his squad car and pulled out.
Jackie exhaled, "Okay, I guess you should take me home now." Jackie told him, they broke their embrace and Jackie quickly finished the last spoonful of her ice cream.
"Okay." Eric simply replied, it bummed him out they couldn't hang out a little more, and that this night he would remember for the rest of his life as one of his best was almost over.
Jackie took Eric's coat off her lower legs, she slid her high heels on and slid off the car, and took the soda with her, Eric followed her and again opened her door.
Eric soon was pulling out of the park and on the road, Jackie shifted her butt in the seat and over next to Eric again, she was becoming rather comfortable with him, she rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes as her house was on the outskirts of town, the brunette could have sighed due to being so comfortable. They had a long drive to her house and that was fine by her...
About a half hour later, Jackie was gently shaken awake by Eric, "Hey Jackie, you're home." Eric whispered in her ear.
Jackie got goosebumps from his breath on her ear, she raised her head, "Oh." she simply stated, "Um, how about you take my car back to your place so you don't have to walk? I can pick up it tomorrow, okay?" Jackie informed him,
"Really? Thanks, Jackie." he replied with a smile.
Jackie saw he parked in her driveway and the door was about 30 feet away, she was kind of scared of her own house, it was dark and her house was empty, "Walk me to my door? Please?"
"Okay." Jackie had taken her heels off when she got in the car from before, she hooked them between her fingers, she opened her door and got out to see Eric was just about to open it himself.
Jackie walked with him to her door, "Eric...I had such a wonderful time tonight, I'm sorry you missed your Pay Per View." she teased him.
"Jackie, going to the prom with you makes up for it...plus I just recorded it on the Betamax." Eric replied, "I had a hell of a great time too."
She nodded as she walked up her large steps, "You even stuck by all the rules, I wasn't expecting that. You were a fantastic date." Jackie told him stopping on the porch before her door.
"You looked and still do look beautiful tonight." Eric told her, almost feeling like he hadn't said it enough.
Jackie blushed, "Eric, I love it when you say things like that." she admitted to him, Eric smiled and looked down.
"I'm glad you were my date for my first prom, I had fun tonight..." Eric added.
Eric wanted to break a certain rule but didn't know how Jackie would react to that, she didn't react well to him holding her hand so this could end the same if not worse and wouldn't want to ruin this perfect night, "I guess I should go then..." Eric stated, "Thanks for a great night, Jackie." he thanked her in a kind voice.
Jackie's smiling face completely fell, "O-oh." Jackie simply said, she kept her head up but her eyes looked down, the night felt like something was missing.
Eric felt bold and he stepped forward and cupped her cheeks, Jackie's eyes widened immediately, he pressed his lips to hers and kissed his date deeply.
Jackie froze almost in shock as a kiss, a good night kiss, was the last thing she expected since it was one of the rules she made.
Her eyes widened at his kissing, which was pretty damn good! Jackie's eyes almost reluctantly fluttered shut, the brunette told herself to push him away but she couldn't as his kissing was too good to resist...
Now Jackie started to respond a little more excitedly than she was ready to admit.
Now she was kissing him back.
"Fuck it..." she thought to herself for the second time when it came to kissing the scrawny neighbor boy.
Jackie took in the kiss slowly, the feelings the brunette got from this kiss were surprisingly superior in comparison to Michael's kisses from the past, who was the only other person she had ever kissed, Eric was a slow kisser which was different from Michael being so forceful.
Eric pressed several soft kisses on her lips, Jackie placed her hands flat on his chest and lightly scratched the fabric of his white collar shirt, her arms soon wrapped around his neck and she had fully taken in the kiss.
He never kissed a girl but with Jackie, it seemed to come to him naturally.
Eric couldn't resist and his tongue brushed her bottom lip asking for entrance to her mouth, combined with her cherry lipstick and the strawberry ice cream from before on her lips, Eric wanted to kiss her lips forever.
Jackie's moan caused her mouth to open and Eric's tongue entered carefully and slowly, she felt his one arms go into the small of her back and then the other got lost in her perfect curly locks of lovely hair. Jackie snuggled in his arms just resting there, going almost limp in his arms, not believing for a second he would let her fall.
"Mmm." the brunette couldn't help but release the low sounding moan came from deep in her throat, she couldn't recall the last time that sound was made, if she ever made that sound was certainly a question, and it was the sexiest sound Eric had ever heard, and he wanted to make her moan like that again, he felt he had plenty of time to learn every single sweet spot she had in her mouth that made her moan like that.
Jackie was amazed how good it felt having her lips sucked on and nibbled on by her date, Eric nipped on her bottom lips not being able to get enough of the taste of her lips and and her wet velvety tongue smoothed over his and it made him feel light headed, when her thick tongue retreated slightly, his lips wrapped around her tongue, he could feel those taste buds that were like the goosebumps on his arms.
Eric's hand cupped the back of her head and kissed her more deeply if it was even possible, "Mmm!" Jackie squeaked out in a higher pitched tone than before, but Eric loved hearing it again.
Jackie whimpered sexily in his arms and her legs went back until her butt felt the cool wood of her front door, she felt and relaxed on the door enjoying this kiss with Eric. Her head fell back on the door, not breaking the intensely hungry tonguing session she never thought existed until this moment.
Jackie hands went up to his chin and cupped it only with her fingers, Eric would never admit anytime soon that he hadn't kissed a girl until now...and he now wondered where the hell he learned to kiss like this, he knew for a fact he was doing a nice job because the noises Jackie kept making his knees shake, kissing him with such an arousing passion Eric had never felt...literally.
Her lips broke from his, a small stream of saliva was visible from their lips until it dissipated, Eric cleared his throat, "Wow...Jackie..." Eric said, panting, one hand still holding her curved hip in his palm and his other gently holding her head from behind her ear. His thumb rubbed her cheek affectionately.
Jackie licked her lips and grinned and her hands pushed his head up to give her access to his neck and she soon attacked it with hungry yet slow kisses and licks, her tongue leaving wet trails where she kissed. Jackie exhaled roughly from the sensations just kissing him brought her, she had the sensation to nibble on his earlobe with her teeth and she did.
"God, Jackie..." he whispered in return, she pulled away with a lustful smile at him and pulled his lips back to hers, connecting in a deep wet kiss.
Jackie felt Eric's hands go to her hips a little further than he should have been, but Jackie not only like it...she loved the way it felt, his fingers accidentally brushing her butt made her whimper.
Eric's hands went up and rubbed her back softly as his hands melted into her back as they rubbed up and down again and again ever so slowly but still pressing hard down on that silky red dress, "She feels so good..." he thought to himself.
Eric's lips pulled away from her tender sweet lips and their heated embrace, his mouth went to her neck leaving kisses, nibbles, bites and licks along her jawline and to her neck, he kissed up to behind her ear, letting his tongue smack against her earlobe, "Oh..." Jackie whimpered softly in a high voice, never in a thousand years would she think that Eric would make her moan in pleasure.
She felt so light headed as if she was gonna faint, her heart was racing as Kelso never made her feel like this since he was such a damn horn dog, Eric was just a passionate guy.
Jackie decided to take a bold step as her thigh rubbed the outside of his leg, she wrapped it around his waist, her bare leg now exposed was met by Eric's hand and he held it pressed to his hip. Her leg felt as good as he always imagined it throughout the night, so smooth and he couldn't believe how nice it felt, he felt privileged to be able to touch it.
His hand rubbed the length of it, going up close enough to want to cup her butt, but he kept his self control and squeezed her thigh instead, which was just as lovely.
Eric went back to her lips he missed as if he hadn't touched them with his own in years, he loved the smugness of them, their lips were damp with saliva and Jackie's arms snaked around his shoulders, the kiss soon turned very heated as their tongues dueled.
Jackie's hands were lost in his hair, running through and massaging his scalp, giving it a messy look, he played with her tongue until they were dancing together, "Jackie..." Eric said breathlessly into her lips before her tongue slipped past his lips, Eric loved the way her saliva tasted as it lingered on his lips, "Mmm." Eric moaned loudly as he tasted her spit again.
Jackie's hands canted her lovers head and shoved her thick tongue in his mouth, Eric let out something between a sigh and a moan, he didn't think a girl could manage that much tongue in a kiss, but then again she was the only girl willing to kiss him like this, her tongue curling and massaging as it filled every contour of his mouth, she wanted to show him she could be just as passionate as he was, her leg fell back down from his hip to avoid her falling down from being lightheaded.
Eric slanted his head to give her more access, Jackie's tongue retreated only slightly to make slow and heavenly swirls on his tongue, he felt if he didn't stop now, he would find impossible to stop when they had to.
If Kelso was right about anything which was very rare, it was that Jackie was in fact an outstanding kisser.
The 2 dates pulled away, they just stared at each other, both were so taken back that so much passion was able to be had between them. Eric and Jackie were simultaneously thinking that something so smoldering was hidden underneath their pointless bickering, and Eric was looking at Jackie in shock while she looked at his chest.
"Uh...um..." the ravens obviously nervous date stuttered and Jackie was still looking at his chest, her mind running amok , "Yeah...uh..." the brunette answered, although she knew it wasn't much of one, Jackie licked her still wet lips and looked back up at Eric, slowly breaking into a smile.
"That was...really nice...right?" she asked.
Eric nodded, "Yeah...i-i-it was...you want to try it again?" he asked her stuttering, Jackie just smirked at him which told Eric all he needed to know, her hands rubbing the side of his neck, settling towards the back and finally pulling him back towards her waiting and bruised lips, "Hell yes..." Jackie sexily told him before their lips connected in another deep wet liplock.
When her tongue retreated and their lips were together once again,"I...I think I've said goodnight, Jackie." Eric said against her lips, their kiss slowing down, until they were lightly kissing both of their lips, both still longing for more time.
Jackie was more insistent, pressing those wet kisses on his cheeks and then his lips, "Mmph." she moaned and almost whimpered onto his lips.
Eric pulled his lips away, he could have sworn she leaned forward when he pulled back clearly wanting more, Eric blushed as he never thought a popular girl like Jackie Burkhart would want to kiss him more than she had to.
Jackie wanted more, she was breathing heavily after they pulled apart, she wasn't really thinking as she said this, "Y-you know, my dad isn't here right now. Do...do you wanna come inside? Or up to my room...just for a little while? Just to...you know." the shaking brunette asked trying to get her composure from that...amazing...kiss, but still trying to get more of him.
Eric's eyes widened, "She wanted more?" he wondered, "Jackie, it's my own rule not to do that on a first date. Especially with a lady such as yourself." he told the shaking brunette, "I've got a wanting Jackie Burkhart in my wake!" Eric thought smugly.
Jackie exhaled as she pulled him towards her so their bodies were pressing together, "Eric, where did you learn to kiss like that?" the brunette asked him seriously, she was usually the one who kept her composure after a kiss.
Eric blushed furiously, "Uh...I...well..."
Jackie giggled giddily, "Eric Forman! Am I your first kiss?" she asked with an assuring smile, telling him not to be embarrassed.
It prompted Eric to nod, "Yeah Jackie, you are the first girl I have ever kissed..." he told the beautiful brunette.
"This night is too perfect!" the raven haired girl squealed in her mind, she ran her fingers over his lips and said, "You've got nice lips, Eric." she whispered, pecking them quickly.
Eric chuckled, "Yeah...I use Chapstick..." he teased.
Jackie couldn't help but giggle again at his humor, "I can't believe you've never kissed a girl before. If that's true...I'm...honored to be your first kiss. You really know how to make out." she admitted with a bold and sexy smile, "Are you sure you don't wanna come inside?" she asked him, Jackie looked at him with a puppy dog face, "My bed is really soft and it's a king size, there's a lot of room to...lay down." she told him, he saw the paleness overtake his face as all the blood left it. She knew the mention of how big her bed was sent shock waves through his mind...she could see it all over his face.
Jackie smiled sweetly, "Come on, Eric...we wouldn't be doing anything serious, we would just be doing what we have been doing out here, ya know? Just making out." the brunette pleaded, she licked her lips very slowly in attempts to coax him. Sending even more images into his head, a sense of what she wanted from him tonight.
But Eric cupped her cheeks, closing the distance between them again, pressing feather light kisses on those luscious lips of hers, still swollen and bruised, her hands lightly took his wrists that cupped her cheeks, she could feel the blood rushing through his veins, she was pleased, even though Jackie knew she was reeling from his kiss, that she had the same effect on him, "How about I call you sometime, Jackie?" he asked against her lips, "If that's alright with you, that is." he finally added after he pulled away.
Jackie nodded with an amazing smile Eric loved to see, "Like a d-date? Yes, yes, I would like that, hold on." the raven haired girl replied with a little too much giddiness, but she couldn't help it, she felt like Juliet!
She opened the door and reached inside and her hand fumbled around into a side table, and received a pen.
"Here." Jackie started sweetly, taking his hand and writing her phone number on it: 1 467 367 5490, she raised his hand to her lips, pressing her plump and bruised lips to his palm for kiss, Jackie grinned at him all the while, Eric couldn't believe the loaded look she was sending him. If looks could talk...
She dropped his hand and pointed a finger at him, "Make sure you call me. Or else...you got me?" she told him sternly after she released his hand, her bossiness in full swing.
To Eric, her bossiness was so adorable.
Eric laughed softly, "You stop by my house every day, but yeah, I'll definitely call you. I promise." he teased her, hopefully no one would lick his hand or anything...
He looked down and saw her red lipstick in the form of her lips on his palm.
Jackie nodded, "Okay, bye." she said satisfied with his answer, she leaned and gave him a slow kiss on the cheek, she couldn't help herself as one hand cupped his cheek and pressed her lips back to his, she kept it a simple kiss but still, Eric would admit this kiss was pretty hot.
It lasted for hours it seemed to Eric, Jackie moaned ever so softly as she shifted her lips softly over his, her lips were so soft, warm and inviting. He was battling the question of asking to go up to her room for some more alone time.
Eric moaned into her lips as his hands went to her hips, her gentle tongue passed his lips and softly caressed his tongue slowly, almost lovingly. Her tongue retreated from his mouth, their lips closed and met each other again, Jackie blood red lips nibbled on his bottom lip, sucking on it.
Jackie returned his bottom lip by bringing their lips together again, and giving him a smooch, they broke away from the kiss with a smack, Eric licked his lips, "You're a...(gulp) really good kisser, Jackie." he told her, Jackie knew that his first kiss was almost too hot for him to handle but Jackie knew that she would be the only girl on his mind for quite a while.
She only giggled and whispered in his ear, "So are you, babe."
She felt hot and lightheaded, "Goodbye...Eric Forman." the brunette whispered sweetly.
Her eyes never left his as she turned and retreated into her big empty house, she shut the door and locked it.
Jackie's back fell onto the door, her hands running over her face, "W-wow...!" the tittering brunette whispered to herself, her stomach was doing back-flips, front flips and swan dives, Jackie moaned and pressed her palms to her stomach and comforted it, she never felt like this ever before.
She ran her tongue over her freshly kissed lips trying to taste his lips again, her fingers and tongue soothed her stinging lips, "Oh, Eric…" the brunette moaned, Jackie opened her eyes then realized what she was doing...
She had never been so deprived of keeping her composure.
"I...I'm in love!" Jackie Burkhart whispered to herself happily, she giggled like a school girl and hugged herself.
Eric stood there for a second before turning around and making his way to her car, he opened his door and got in, "I just made out...with Jackie Burkhart and got her number?" Eric asked himself looking at the written number on his hand, the numbers were neatly written in cursive style and followed by Jackie's rendering of a heart at the end of the number.
"Great day for hell to freeze over." Eric spoke to himself.
Eric laughed and started the car and proceeded to make his way out of the Burkhart's residence, he kept the radio off to enjoy the silence as he still had the lingering of her lips on his.
Eric could only wonder where their relationship could go from here…
