NotaStalker: First, love the name, but come off anon next time! I'd love to talk. Second, if you suffer from the disease, like my grandfather and my uncle AND my dad has, it's a gene. People suffer from alcoholism, an addiction to alcohol, which is what Sam and I both have. I still don't know if I have it yet, because my father carries the gene of addiction, but Sam does know. She carries the addiction to alcohol. Being an alchohaulic is a gene, so please, next time you want to criticize, know what you're talking about first. Thanks for reviewing!

Chapter 11

"SAM!" I heard Jackie scream.

I looked over at the basements backdoor and saw her standing there.

I smiled over at Donna and Eric, and then looked back at Jackie.

"Yes, Jackie?" I laughed.

"Jessica just told Hannah who just told Riley who just told me that you and Steven are going out!"

I rolled my eyes and laughed. "Rumors are poison, Jackie."

She nodded. "And I remember you telling me that last week." She sat down next to me. "So I had Michael ask Hyde."

I looked at her and swallowed. "You what?"

She nodded more. "Yep."

My eyes widened and I smiled nervously at Donna and Eric. I jumped over the back of the couch and out the backdoor. I took two steps at a time up the stairs and into the driveway, where Kelso was losing to Hyde at basketball.

I took the ball from Hyde and threw it in the basket nonchalantly, causing Kelso to gain a point.

Hyde stood up as Kelso held his arms up in victory. "What was that for?"

I looked at him seriously. "Can I speak to you… alone?"

He shrugged and took of his sunglasses as I pulled him into the garage.

I put my hands in my back pockets, looking up seriously. "Do you really wanna tell people about… us? Already?"

He laughed a little and his blue eyes made my heart jump. "Sam, I'm sure. But, if you're not sure, then we don't have to tell people."

He smirked a little as I pushed him. "Steven Hyde, you sure do have a way with words."

We heard a knock on the garage's backdoor and turned around.

Mr. Foreman was standing in the doorway. "Steven, can I talk to you alone?"

I smirked. "I'll be outside."

I kissed Hyde's cheek and left, though I stood outside of the cracked door, listening.

Mr. Foreman took a step towards Steven. "Now listen, Steven, Eric told me you were dating that Samantha girl."

Hyde cleared his throat. "Uh, yeah Red. I really like her."

Red nodded. "Well, yes, now Steven I have a few words of advice for you, since you've never been with a girl like Samantha."

Steven nodded as Red took a step towards him. "Now, number one, they don't like every day, flowers and chocolate, gifts, alright? You need to get her something that means something to her." He said sternly. "Number two, don't take her on the average dinner-and-a-movie date, ok? Take her somewhere she'll like."

Steven nodded. "I was thinking a Pink Floyd concert."

Red rolled his eyes. "If she likes hippy, dope-smoking, theme music, then perfect."

I laughed quietly as Red spoke. "Number three," He said, taking a step closer. "Don't you dare take her for granted. That's the biggest, dumb ass mistake a guy like you with a girl like Samantha can make."

Red was just about to leave, until he turned around and looked Hyde in the eyes. "And don't you dare lose her. She's a nice girl, Steven, and you could break her heart." He said sweetly. "Also, I like her. She's not a dumb ass like the rest of your basement friends."

Hyde put his hand in mine.

I smirked. "So, I overheard your conversation with Red."

He looked down and cleared his throat. "You, uh, heard that?"

I nodded. "Yeah… so… you're taking me to a Pink Floyd concert?"

He laughed. "Spying, listening in on a private conversation?" He kissed me. "You're coming along nicely."

I laughed. "Well dating you…"

He put his hands on my waist and kissed me.

I smiled and we walked down the stairs.

As we opened the door, we saw Donna yelling at Fez and Kelso.

"FEZ! What the hell?" She turned and looked up at me.

"Go on, Fez. Tell her what you did!" I looked at Fez confused.

"Huh?"

Fez frowned. "I'm sorry, Samantha."

Donna shook her head. "He snuck into your room with Kelso and stole your panties!"

She held up my blue panties, my cheeks turning bright red as I grabbed them.

Hyde turned to Kelso and let go of my hand. "Kelso? What the hell? You stole my girlfriend's panties?"

Kelso, Donna, Fez, and Eric looked up. "Girlfriend?" Kelso said smiling.

Hyde stopped, swallowing hard. "What?"

Kelso put his arm around Hyde. "Sam's your girlfriend?"

He shook his head. "I don't know what you're talking about."

I rolled my eyes and push him. "Hyde!" I turned to the rest of the group. "Yes! GIRLFRIEND!"

He tried to hide his smiled as I took his hand. Kelso laughed.

"I knew it! I knew it!" He sang, jumping around dancing.

Hyde smacked him in the shoulder. "Get bent."
