Author's Note: Hey sorry guys that it has been so long since I have been able to post, work and school has been kicking my butt! Well anyway this is my new chapter and it is full of Jackie and Hyde interaction. It was actually really hard writing this chapter since Jackie and Hyde don't really know each other but I hope you guys like it.
Oh and I would just like to state that I do not own That 70's Show or How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days. I am just a college girl with a laptop who is still in denial that season 8 did not end with a Jackie and Hyde wedding.
Chapter 2: The First Date
Previously...
Hyde looked over and saw it was no other than Jackie Burkhardt.
"Hi." Jackie said while batting her eyes.
"Hey." Hyde said with his mysterious zen tone.
'Oh, Steven Hyde I am going to make you wish you never met me.'
'Ha Jackie you are totally gonna fall hard for me.'
Both the rebel and the cheerleader stared at each other while both held their grasp on the last chocolate pudding cup. They both stayed quiet trying to figure out their best game plan when Hyde finally broke the silence.
"So is there a reason your hand is on top of my mine?"
"Is there a reason that your hand is on top of my pudding?"
"Look princess, I know you are used to getting what you want but you are not getting MY pudding cup?"
"Oh Please!" Jackie pouted and stared at Hyde with her wide eyed doyey eyes that Hyde never noticed until that moment how they were different colors and couldn't help but think how beautiful they were. "Pretty preeettty please Steven Hyde!" Jackie whined some more.
"Oh whatever. You can have the danm pudding as long as you don't call me Steven Hyde again." Jacke nodded her head while still pouting. "Here ya go Princess." Hyde let go of the pudding cup. Jackie squealed with happiness when she finally triumphed. Jackie loved to win and she couldn't help but think how her pudding cup won't be the only thing she will be winning.
Hyde broke Jackie's train of thought when Hyde spoke while smirking, "Don't get too excited princess. That pudding cup comes with a price. You gotta buy me real food instead of the stuff served in this dump."
'Was this Hyde's way of asking me out? Huh, that was easier than I thought. The cheerleading Gods must be cheering me on.' Jackie thought with a smile.
"Okay! I will buy you food at The Hub since I know that's where poor people like to eat." Jackie cursed herself for saying that last comment. She knew Hyde wasn't one to take her normal bitchy attitude like most guys were. So Jackie thought for sure that she just lost her chance with Hyde.
But she was pleasantly surprised, "We'll isn't that considerate of you. But that last burn is gonna cost you. Now my stomach is going to need food NOW." Hyde smirked knowing that Jackie Burkhardt was known for being a square and therefore never skipped.
Jackie's eyes widened in horror, "But we still have 3 more periods left! I can't just ummm ummm..."
"I think the word you looking for is" Hyde lowered closer to Jackie's face and whispered, "skip." When Hyde whispered the last word to Jackie it gave her skin goosebumps and made her heart beat faster. She wasn't sure if it was because of the thought of skipping made her scared or it was because Hyde made her nervous...'No it has to be the skipping thing' Jackie tried convincing herself.
"Yeah, that. I cannot do that. I have a reputation to uphold."
"Whatever. See ya later Princess." Hyde turned away from Jackie with a grin knowing that even Jackie Burkhardt couldn't resist the temptation. No matter how much chicks protested they always liked to take risks. This strategy usually worked in Hyde's favor.
Jackie panicked knowing that she probably wouldn't have this perfect opportunity again. "Ugh, fine! But I'm umm skipping because I want to and I'm too smart for my other classes anyway."
Hyde smirked and then turned around, "Whatever. Let's just go."
"Wait, I have to get my bag at my lunch table."
"That's cool. I have to get my stuff too. Meet you outside in 5 minutes." Hyde didn't wait for a response and just walked over to his friends. Which threw Jackie off since she was use to guys not being so confident with her. Steven Hyde was definitely different from all the other guys that Jackie has gone out with.
The Gang's Lunch Table
Hyde walked over to his friends who were in the middle of a food competition and no shocker it looked like Fez was winning.
"Fez wins! Now give me all of your candy." Hyde heard Fez exclaim when he finally reached is friends.
Donna was going to say some smart remark but her attention switched to Hyde when she noticed he was back. "Where are you going?"
"The hub with Jackie." Hyde responded which caught everyone's' attention. "What are with all the shocked looks? You really thought I wouldn't be able to pull it off?" Hyde said in a cocky tone.
Donna looked the most shocked but tried to compose herself, "Whatever Hyde. You still have to be in a relationship with her till the dance and if you think it's going to be as smooth as talking to her for 5 minutes then you are in for a hell of a wake-up call."
"Whatever man." Hyde responded with zen. He left the table and headed outside to meet his date, Jackie Burkhardt. Danm that doesn't even sound normal in his head.
Point Place Cafeteria and Parking Lot
Jackie rushed to the cheerleaders table hoping they wouldn't ask too many questions about her encounter with her mark. But she also didn't want to lose her nerve. Jackie was happy when all of the girls were too busy flirting with the football team to notice her return.
So when Jackie walked out of the cafeteria she turned her head from the right and then to the left hoping no teachers were around. Jackie never skipped class, not even for beauty emergencies. So you could say that she was just a tad nervous and her nerves didn't calm anymore when she saw Hyde leaning against his car. Even with his beard Steven Hyde was hot with his 'I don't give a danm about anything or anyone attitude' and his toned arms, even his glasses gave him an allure that Jackie couldn't help but be drawn too.
Jackie cursed herself for thinking like this 'Jackie focus! Steven Hyde is not just any arm candy he is your ticket to Head Cheerleader and that is all he is.' Jackie repeated in her head over and over again as she walked to Hyde's car. Jackie also was planning her next move. Even though the whole point of this scheme is to "lose" Hyde, she first had to trap him in a relationship with her so Jackie had to flirt and act normal and then turn the tables on him so fast that his glasses won't know what hit them.
When she finally reached him he smirked, "It's not too late to back out princess." Jackie let out her breath that she didn't realize she was holding in, "I'm not backing down Hyde. Unless you wanna back down."
"Get in the car."
Jackie replied by smiling and sitting in the front seat of the El Camino.
Mount Hump
So far the date was going smoothly. Neither of them killed each other or bolted out of the date so it was going better than anyone could anticipate. The drive to the Hub was quiet because it dawned to both of them that their brief time in the cafeteria line was the longest amount of time that they actually spoke to one another since junior high.
Once they got to The Hub they ordered to-go because school was technically still going on and they didn't want to risk their chances by staying their too long. So Hyde drove to a clearing on Mount Hump. It wasn't the most romantic spot but Hyde wasn't known for being romantic. Hell this chick is lucky because usually this spot was Hyde's make out spot and the chicks he brought wouldn't dare talk for too long. But Hyde couldn't treat Jackie that way, that is not how "boyfriend's" treat their chicks, so this was all new territory for Hyde. So he was pretty nervous even though he would never admit to that.
Jackie was getting annoyed with the never-ending silence but for once she had no idea what to say. Hyde and her were complete opposites who never spoke to each other and now they were expected to date? 'Hell, I am Jackie Burkhardt and soon to be Head Cheerleader. I can get this burnout to fall for me. I can do this' Jackie cheered in her head.
Jackie stared at Hyde while he was slurping on his pop. "Ahem, aren't you forgetting something?" Jackie said while staring at Hyde's pop.
Hyde smirked and sipped his cola and then handed Jackie his cup without saying a word.
Jackie smiled triumphantly but soon frowned when she realized that the container was empty. "Ugh just forget this! Take me home!" Right then Jackie got up from her spot on the hood of the El Camino and crossed her arms while giving Hyde a warning glare.
"Oh c'mon Princess. Don't get your cheerleader underwear in a bunch." Jackie just continued giving Hyde the most evil glare he has ever received, which weirdly enough turned him on. And that thought scared the hell out of Hyde. "How the hell was I supposed to know that you wanted some? When we were at the Hub you said you didn't want a drink."
"Because the gentleman thing to do is offer the beautiful girl YOUR drink."
"Well I will make sure I will do that when I am out with a beautiful girl."
Jackie's face rapidly changed from somewhat pissed off to full on rage that the Devil himself would hide in a corner from. "Listen here HYDE! I am freaking beautiful. You probably do not know what it is like to be in presence with such beauty because you are so use to coming here riding on uggo trash. In fact you should feel danm honored to be with me instead of acting like such a JERK!"
Hyde sat back with showing no expression on the outside due to his many years of Zen. But on the inside he was feeling a whole bunch of crap emotions. He was shocked that miss perfect would crack like that, annoyed with her being so obsessed with looks, amused with how easily he got under her skin, and embarrassed that he was finding this rich, vapid, and annoying cheerleader incredibly hot when she was so angry.
Hyde also realized that he was supposed to be winning this girl's heart and he was doing a pretty piss poor job at it, so Hyde decided to bite the bullet. "Alright, look Jackie I'm so.. sor.. I apol…danm it Jackie I don't do crap like this alright. And you are right I usually bring the easy girls here and we would be in the bed of my El Camino right now. I don't do this "date" thing. So I don't know the god danm rules especially with the hottest girl at Point Place."
Jackie was taken back with Hyde's confession and grinned like crazy when Hyde called her the most hottest girl at Point Place but she then realized something else about Hyde's confession. "Did you just call me Jackie?"
"Well yeah. That's your name."
"Yeah. But I didn't know you knew that. You usually just call me princess, or little cheerleader, or pipsqueak."
"Pipsqueak? I haven't said that word since junior high. How the hell do you remember that?"
"Uhmmm. That's not the point. The point is I hate those nicknames."
"Fine I will call you Jackie for now on as long as you sit your ass back down and enjoy the rest of this date."
Jackie didn't realize she was still standing this whole time. In fact she found herself losing track of time a lot today when Hyde was talking to her. "Okay, but only on two conditions."
Hyde sighed and ran his hands through his hair out of frustration. "You danm chicks. What danm conditions?"
"If you get to call me by my first name then I get to call you Steven. Because Hyde is a weird name and I actually think Steven is a really nice name. And you let me teach you how to go on a proper first date."
Hyde just continued to stare at her and think if he should accept her danm conditions. He knew if he wanted any shot at winning this bet that he had to let Jackie win a couple of their battles. And with that thought the decision was made. Hyde grumbled, "Fine."
Jackie squealed and jumped with excitement, she then skipped over to her old spot on the El Camino. "Yay, okay so firstly you have to offer girls your stuff on dates like your drink, food, and jacket. Especially on chilly afternoons in December a lot like this one." Jackie said all this while hugging on her arms and shivering.
Hyde took the not so subtle hints and took off his jacket and slung it over Jackie's petite shoulders. Jackie grinned happily and Hyde took this as a sign of approval. However Hyde wouldn't be Hyde if he didn't try to put a spin on things.
"So I guess feeding girls on dates is romantic too?"
Jackie grinned like crazy and nodded her head.
Hyde grabbed a bunch of fries and smothered them in ketchup while smiling devilishly. "Like this?" Hyde then purposely missed Jackie's mouth and smothered her face with ketchup until finally stuffing her mouth with french fries.
Hyde genuinely laughed at the sight of the angry brunette sitting across of him who was trying to yell at him while chewing at the same time. Jackie eventually swallowed down the french fries but was still covered with ketchup.
She was planning on giving him an earful, "Steven! That was not rom…" But she was suddenly stopped with Hyde kissed her cheek where a big blob of ketchup was. It was just a simple kiss on the cheek but it brought a sensation of electricity where Hyde's lips were.
Hyde looked up at Jackie's mismatched wide eyes. "So what are the rules for kissing on the first date?" Hyde asked but then continued kissing Jackie where there was still ketchup.
Jackie was trying to recover from how Hyde's kisses were making her feel. "Uhmmm, well the gentleman thing to do is to uhmm kiss his date on the lips at the end of the date."
All the ketchup was cleaned off of Jackie's face so Hyde stared into Jackie's eyes through his aviators. "And when exactly is the date supposed to end."
Jackie's heart started beating faster as she realized how close Hyde's lips were. "The date ends when dinner is over and after the two get to know better by talking and uhm stuff."
"Well I for one am full from all that ketchup and I feel like I have learned a lot about the real Jackie today."
"Mhm. Yeah me too."
Hyde started at her amusingly.
"I mean I'm not hungry anymore either. And I think I'm just starting to know you better Steven. So then.."
Jackie scooted even closer to Hyde if that was even possible. Hyde took that as an invitation and made the first move. The kiss started off soft and slow just so their mouths could familiarize themselves to each other. Hyde started teasing Jackie's mouth with his tongue just waiting for entrance. Jackie then granted Hyde's tongue access while she grabbed to Hyde's shirt collar while kissing with more passion and aggression. The two hormonal teenagers were getting lost in each other for a few minutes when they eventually parted so they could breathe.
"Uhm wow." Was all Jackie could come up with.
"Ha yeah." Hyde said while looking puzzled. He has kissed a lot of girls and have had a lot of intense make out sessions that were more physical than the one he just experienced with Jackie but he never felt the way he did with any of those random girls then he did at that very moment. He couldn't even come up with a name for what he was feeling.
Jackie felt like she was floating because she couldn't feel anything but the tingling sensation she still had on her lips. Jackie could not remember the last time that she felt this way about a guy but that happy thought soon disappeared when she remembered that this was only temporary.
"So we should probably get going." Jackie said as she sprung up from the hood of the car.
Hyde was still taken back from the kiss so he didn't mind when Jackie abruptly wanted to end his first real date. "Yeah, I will drive you home."
The car ride was quiet because both Jackie and Hyde were too absorbed in their thoughts to talk.
Jackie: 'OH MY GOD that was the best kiss I have ever had! Who knew scruffy rebels could kiss so tenderly and passionate at the same time. Me and Steven could actually be something. But we can't..because of that stupid bet. It's not stupid. It is my only shot of being head cheerleader, the one thing I have dreamed about since I owned my first pom poms. So what if I just had the most mind blowing kiss of my life and when Steven looks at me my heart beats a million times faster. Oh god who am I kidding! This is Steven freaking Hyde! He would never be serious about a girl, especially me. Ugh why did he have to be such a danm good kisser? Ugh danm rebel…
Hyde: 'I should be enjoying a danm circle with the guys while eating some of Mrs. Foreman's cookies and talking about random shit. Yet here I am driving Jackie freaking Burkhardt home from our date. How the hell did I get here? Oh yeah… Donna and my danm pride. And what the hell was that danm kiss about? Why did kissing her feel so danm good. It was even better than kissing that biker chick that I almost left to New York for. And danm that girl knew how to kiss; you can tell that she had a lot of experience. But Jackie's kiss didn't feel that way, her kiss was more than technique it was…amazing. Oh danm I sound like a chick….no worse oh god I sound like Foreman…
Hyde's thoughts were interrupted when Jackie finally spoke. "We're here."
"Huh? Oh okay." Hyde put the car in park and just sat there while Jackie was staring at her wrists. "That was um cool. I guess."
"Yeah it was actually a really nice date. Thank you Steven."
"Yeah. So what usually happens after the date?"
"Well I guess it depends if the guy and girl want to see each other again. If they do then they usually you know…date but as girlfriend and boyfriend."
Hyde scratched the back of his head because he had no idea how the hell to act. "Do you wanna?"
"Do I want to what?" Jackie asked curiously and then finally look at Hyde instead of playing with her bracelets.
"You know." Hyde said but noticing the look on Jackie's face knew that his response wouldn't be enough. He sighed and mumbled. "Do you wanna be my girlfriend or whatever."
"Oh my god! Yes! I didn't actually think you would ask me!"
"That makes two of us. So uhh I will talk to you tomorrow."
"Yeah tomorrow sounds good." Jackie said as she was starting to walk out of the car but then all of the sudden stopped and slid over to where Hyde was sitting and kissed him hard and slow. When they parted Jackie said softly, "Steven I have a tendency to act crazy and yell a lot but I just want you to know that this was the best date of my life and I don't think any other date could top this one. Bye." Jackie then got out of the car and walked fast into her house.
Hyde just sat in his El Camino unable to move from the position that Jackie left him in. He was trying to figure out this chick who he originally thought as a typical annoying cheerleader. But now he was starting to think that there is so much more to Jackie and maybe it won't be terrible to get to know her some more. When Hyde was able to gain his motor skills again he started to drive back home to the Foreman's.
Jackie's very Pink Room
Jackie was sitting on her bed reading her Cosmo magazine trying to ignore the giant pit at the bottom of her stomach that was there from the moment she realized she had to lose Steven Hyde just as she finally got him. Her phone than rang and she was happy for the distraction, at least until she realized who it was.
"Hello Burkhardt mansion, Jackie speaking."
"Hello Jackie. It's Michelle."
"Oh hi Michelle. Uhm I wasn't expecting for you to call."
"Yeah I know I usually have more important things than to talk to you but I wanted to check on how our little plan was going."
"Well just as I knew Ste.. I mean Hyde asked me out so it is going good."
"Good. Now I just want to be clear that I want these next days are miserable for him and if they are than you can call yourself head cheerleader."
"Okay. But just out of curiosity what would happen if I don't know maybe I didn't make the next day's miserable for him?"
"Let's just say that Jackie you would not want that to happen. Because you see I keep my promises but I also keep my grudges and threats very seriously. And if our plan does not go according to plan then not only will you be off the squad but you can just kiss your popularity goodbye for this year and next. Do you understand?"
Jackie thanked god that no one could see the pale terrified look on her face right now, because when Michelle threatend what Jackie cared more about than anything in her whole life: her popularity and reputation. It was probably the one thing her mom showed any interest in and was actually proud of Jackie for. "I understand," was all Jackie could munster out.
"Good, well I have better thing to do." Michelle said and then hung up the phone, leaving Jackie with her thoughts.
But the only thought that kept running in Jackie's head was that she no choice but to lose Steven Hyde in ten days.
