Chapter Six: More Than a Feeling
Jackie opened her eyes as the sun began to shin through her window. She lazily began to stretch as he hand came in contact with a warm body beside her. She quickly shot up as she looked down at the sleeping man beside her and the events of the night before came flooding back to her.
"Oh wow," She said as she covered herself and lay back down.
Hyde began to stir as he felt Jackie move beside him.
"Morning," He said as she rolled over and looked at her.
"Good morning Steven." Jackie said as she smiled at him.
"So we should probably talk about last night." Hyde said as he looked at her.
"Yeah I guess we should," Jackie said as she tried to figure out what she was going to say, "Steven I don't regret it."
"Neither do I."
"You don't?"
"Nope, in fact I'm up for a repeat performance." Hyde said as he slid closer to her.
"Steven," Jackie said as she playfully pushed him away.
"Oh come on Jackie you know you want me."
"Whatever Steven."
Hyde laughed as he pulled her to him. "Alright whatever Jackie."
Jackie laughed and laid her head on his chest as he wrapped his arms around her. "Steven,"
"Yeah?"
"I don't want this to just be a fling…I want to have a relationship with you. I'm not going to disappear Steven. I want this."
Hyde stared at the ceiling as he let her words sink in. "Jackie…I'm not going to disappear either. And I don't want just a fling with you either. You've wormed your way in and I don't see you leaving anytime soon."
Jackie smiled as she leaned up and planted a kiss on his lips which soon turned passionate.
"What do you say we have a repeat of last night?" Hyde asked as he began to kiss Jackie's neck.
"I say oh yeah Steven." Jackie said as Hyde climbed on top of her.
Kelso knocked on the door to the Burkhart mansion as he waited for someone to come and answer the door. When no one came to the door after ten minutes he decided to use the spare key that he knew Jackie kept in the potted plant beside the door. Kelso unlocked the door then returned the key to its rightful place before walking inside. He walked around the downstairs, making sure to check everywhere for her but when he didn't find he decided to go check upstairs. As he got closer to her door he began to hear giggles and whispers and wondered if Jackie was talking to herself. Finally he got to her bedroom door and instead of knocking like a normal person he opened the door.
Kelso stared at Jackie and Hyde as they pulled away from each other and Jackie quickly wrapped the sheet around herself. Kelso continued to stare at them as Hyde tried to find his pants and Jackie quickly pulled her clothes on.
"Michael," Jackie said as she started walking towards him.
Kelso blinked and realized he was still standing there and turned around then ran out of the house.
Jackie looked at Steven, who nodded at her before she ran after her ex boyfriend.
Hyde pulled on his clothes as he looked around the room and let what had just happened sink in.
"Michael!" Jackie yelled as she chased after him down the street. She finally caught up with him about a block away from the Forman's. "Michael please stop and talk to me."
"Why should I Jackie?" Kelso said as he stared at the ground.
"Because you owe me that much." Jackie said as she stared at him.
"Owe you? I owe you nothing Jackie. Not after today. Not after what I saw."
"What you saw? Michael what you saw was me in bed with someone that I care about."
"No what I saw was you in bed with my best friend."
"Yes and I care about him."
"Jackie he's my best friend!" Kelso yelled as he tried to walk past her.
"You don't think I don't know that Michael."
"I think you don't care."
"Of course I care Michael. I might not be your girlfriend but I still care. I care that this is hurting you. I wouldn't have chased after you if I didn't."
"Why Jackie?"
"Why what?"
"Why Hyde…I mean there are a million other guys in the world but you had to go and sleep with Hyde."
"Michael…I'm in love with Steven."
"What?!" Kelso yelled as he glared at her.
"Michael listen to me. It happened after we broke up. I was so upset and Steven was always there. He might not have wanted to be but he was. Whenever I cried I would run into his arms and he would never push me away. When you went to prom with Pam, he took me in your place and I had a great time. When I caught you cheating with Laurie, Steven went to the mall with me and had dinner with me. He's always been there for me Michael and somewhere along the way I fell in love with him." Jackie said as Kelso stared down at her.
"But he's my best friend Jackie."
"I know that and for that I'm sorry. I can't help it Michael…I love him."
Kelso kicked the dirt as he looked back up at Jackie. "Are you happy Jackie?"
"Yes Michael I'm happy."
Kelso smiled and pulled Jackie into his arms. "Then I release you. But I'll always love you Jackie."
Jackie smiled as she hugged Kelso back. "And I'll always love you Michael."
Meanwhile at the Burkhart Mansion:
Hyde was sitting around waiting for Jackie when a thought occurred to him. Maybe she had taken him back. Maybe she did in fact regret what they had done and she'd regretted it so much that she'd gone back to the one person who'd ruined her life. He quickly finished getting dressed then walked to his room as he grabbed a few of his possessions. He didn't want to be around when Jackie came back with Kelso and he figured he could come for the rest of his things when she was at school or something. He quickly walked out of the house and got into his car. He stared at the mansion as he thought about the girl who lived there. He didn't want to think about her but he couldn't help it. She'd wormed her way in and like he'd told her earlier he didn't think she was going to be disappearing any time soon. He pulled out of the driveway and drove away as Jackie turned down the street never once noticing the black car that was driving away.
Jackie walked up the stairs as a smile came to her lips. She couldn't wait to get back into that room to finish what she and Steven had started. "Oh Steven," Jackie said as she opened the door and found the room empty. She walked over to her bathroom and found that empty as well. She walked over to his room and found the door open and his dresser drawers open with nothing inside. "What the hell!" She yelled as she ran outside and found his car gone. She looked around as tears came to her eyes and dark clouds began to settle in the sky. She ran back inside and grabbed her coat, then started walking down the sidewalk as she searched for the familiar car and its idiot owner.
Hyde turned on the radio as he looked out the windshield. He couldn't believe how stupid he had been, to actually believe that Jackie Burkhart wanted to be with him and him alone. "Unbelievable." He said as a familiar song started on the radio.
I woke up this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
Closed my eyes and I slipped away
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Hyde pulled over as he listened to the song. He wasn't that big of a Boston fan but this song was just fitting his mood at the moment.
(More than a feeling)
(More than a feeling)
Well it's more than a feeling
(More than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play
(More than a feeling)
And I begin dreaming
(More than a feeling)
Till I see Mary Ann walk away
I see my Mary Ann walking away
When I'm tired and I think I'm cold
I hide in my music and forget the day
And dream of a girl that I used to know
Close my eyes and she slipped away
Ooh, ooh, ooh
(More than a feeling)
(More than a feeling)
Well it's more than a feeling
(More than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play
(More than a feeling)
And I begin dreaming
(More than a feeling)
Till I see Mary Ann walk away
Jackie saw the car up ahead and ran towards it. The rain had finally started coming down and she was soaked to the bone. But she didn't care. She had to find out why he'd left. She ran to the car and tapped on the window. He looked up at her with a confused expression on his face before it was completely wiped away. "Steven please open up." Jackie said as he opened the door and got out of the car.
"What do you want Jackie?" Hyde asked as the song continued to play.
"Why did you leave?" Jackie asked.
Well it's more than a feeling
(More than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play
(More than a feeling)
And I begin dreaming
(More than a feeling)
Till I see Mary Ann walk away
Close my eyes and slip away
Hyde closed his eyes as he thought of how to word what he had been thinking and the song finished playing. "Jackie I figured that you were going back to Kelso."
"What? Why would you think that Steven?"
"Because you were gone for a long time and I thought that you regretted what happened between us. That's why I thought you'd gone back to Kelso."
Jackie sighed. "Oh Steven." She said as she walked over to him and crashed her lips against his.
Hyde immediately responded to the kiss as the cold rain drops fell on them and the rest of the world dropped away.
Jackie pulled away from him as he continued to hold on to her. "Steven, I'm not going back to Michael. I don't want him any more. I want you."
"But,"
"No Steven. I don't regret last night because it was better than anything I'd ever had with Michael. It was perfect and I wouldn't trade it for the world."
Hyde leaned down and kissed Jackie again as she jumped up and wrapped her legs around his waist.
He pulled away and held onto her as she smiled at him. "What?"
"Nothing…I just…I'm happy Steven."
"Well…that's good Jacks."
"Can we go home now Steven?" Jackie asked as she winked at him.
"Uh…" Hyde said as he felt his pants getting tighter. "Yeah sure let's go." He said as he walked her over to the passenger side of the car and set her down.
"Steven," Jackie said as he walked around to his side.
"Yeah Jacks?"
"You'd better hurry…or else I might have to do it all myself."
Hyde groaned as Jackie giggled and they quickly got in the car and hurried home.
Kelso walked into the basement as three pairs of eyes watched his every move.
"So how'd it go?" Eric asked as Kelso sat next to him.
"It didn't."
"What?" Donna, who'd found out about Kelso's little plan a few minutes ago, said.
"I went there and Jackie was with someone."
"Who was she with?" Fez asked.
"Hyde." Kelso said before he got up and went upstairs.
"Jackie and Hyde?" Eric asked as he looked at Donna.
"Wow," Donna said as she faked surprise in her voice. 'About damn time,' she thought to herself as Eric and Fez tried to figure out how this could have happened.
