Steven Hyde gently helped Jackie into the car and shut the door. He stalked over to the driver side and slid in.
They drove in silence each lost in their own thoughts.

How could she have not felt it?! It was short but it had been one of the best kisses of his life. He cared for her more than anybody else he knew, and as much as the thought scared him, it also thrilled him. And she hadn't felt it! Damnit, now what was he suppose to do?

Jackie replayed the kiss over and over in her own mind. It was sweet, and passionate at the same time. It was her Steven finally kissing her, so why wasn't she more excited? Perhaps they simply hadn't given it enough time to build into what she expected. After all she had been obsessing about him all summer long, so maybe they simply needed to try again.

Jackie was drawn outta her thoughts when she realized that Hyde was driving toward the water tower. "Steven where are we going?" she curiously asked.

"I'll tell you when we get there," he replied with a smirk on his face.

"Whatever," she said shrugging her shoulders.

They reached the water tower and he parked the car then walked around to the other side to open her door. "Come on," he encouraged her urgently taking her hand in his own. They walked to the ladder hands entwined in a comfortable silence. With a mischevios glint in his eyes he turned her around and place her on the second rung of the ladder urging her to climb up.

"No Steven, I don't like heights!" she exclaimed.

Don't worry I'll be right behind you, ya won't fall," he stated as he casually stepped into position behind her. Feeling reasured she began to climb and relished in Steven's close proximity. She suddenly Stopped about halfway up causing him to brush up right behind her, and she knew he had been lying he said that he hadn't felt anything. Turning her head around she arched and eyebrow and coyly stated "Is that the 'nothing' you felt Steven?" His jaw dropped open, and pleased with his reaction she scurried up the ladder.

He silently collected his composure before joining her on top of the water tower. He silently vowed to show her exactly what he had felt, but had been too stubborn to admit the first time around. Approaching her he grabbed her around her waist and pulled her flush against his chest. He dipped his head and ravished her neck with his tongue, teeth and lips. He heard her draw in a shaky breath and smiled to himself at the effect he had on her. Dragging his mouth up to her ear he wispered "Now can you say that you didn't feel anything?"

Jackie turned the table on him by arching her neck back and suckeling on his neck just above his tee shirt. "Only if you don't" she murmured against his skin. Unable to stand it any longer he skillfull rolled her over so that she was stradeling his lap and facing him. His face grew serious as he asked, "Jackie I told you but you never told me, what did you think of our first date?" She smiled and descended on his mouth, prying his lips open and snaking her tongue in to his mouth in one fluid motion. Her actions drew a low moan from him and satisfied she pulled away. "Does that answer your question?" she asked him. In response he simply growled and ground their mouths together again. Tongues danced together as they very, very thuroughly explored each others mouths. Their kiss was passionate and tender, animalistic and reverent. Only the basic need for oxygen broke the contact, and they broke away heavily panting.

Still recovering from their passionate embrace Jackie leaned her head against his chest and sighed with contentment. He wrapped his arms around her and happily played with her hair, surprised by the fact
that he could be so happy doing something he considered to be so girly. They clung to each other for a long time until Steven spoke.

"Jackie?"

"Hmmm?" she asked lifting her head off of him.

"My ass fell asleep." She chuckled and got off of him. He got to his feet, and they climbed back down to the earth and walked joyously back to the car.

"Steven?"

"Yes dear?"

"On our next date, let's go somewhere where we can move around more, ok?"

He shot her a sideways glance and grined as he replied "You know, I'm still not opposed to doing it." She playfully slapped him and got into the car. Steven walked around and couldn't keep a smile off of his face as he thought about the fact that he had just gone a first date with a girl he once called a tick. On second thought, he had just gone on "the best date ever" with a girl he once called a tick. Funny, she didn't seem so tickish now.
