Disclaimer: Don't own them, never will, I'll cry a river, build a
bridge and get over it I supose.
Scene: Picks up where last week's episode left off. Hyde and Jackie are returning from their first date. 'Nuff said.
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 not have 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 supposed 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 had expected.
After all she had been obsessing about him all summer long, so maybe they simply needed to try again.
Jackie was drawn out of her thoughts when she realized that Hyde was driving towards 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 gently reaching down and taking her hand in his own. They walked to the latter hands entwined in a comfortable silence. With a mischevious glint in his eyes he turned her around and placed her on the second rung of the latter 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 sudenly stopped about halfway up causing him to brush up right behind her, and she knew he had been lying when he said he hadn't felt anything.
Turning her head around she arched an eyebrow and coyly stated " Is that the 'nothing' you felt Steven?" His jaw dropped open, and pleased by his reaction she scurried up the latter.
He silently collected his composure before joining her on the top of the water tower. He silently vowed to show her exactly what he had felt, but had been too stuborn to admit the first time around.
Aproaching her he grabbed her around the waist and pulled her flush against his chest. He dipped his head and ravished her neck with his toungue, 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 whispered "Now can you say that you don't feel anything?"
Jackie turned the tables on him by arching her neck back and gently suckeling on his neck just above his tee shirt. "Only if you don't" she murmered against his skin. Unable to stand it anymore he skilfully rolled her over so 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 toungue into his mouth in one fluid moment. 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. Toungues danced together as they very, very, VERY thourougly explored each others mouths. Their kiss was passionate and tender, anaimalistic 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 sighend 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.
