AN: I own nothing except the continuation from the Prom Plot. enjoy!
Her arms we're wrapped around his neck his was firmly wrapped around her waist, as they sway to, Jar of hearts. In this moment nothing seemed more right, feeling so natural having her in his arms. Her head laid on his chest listening to his heart beat fasten. It still felt so surreal that they were at prom dancing together and enjoying each other's company.
"Thanks for giving me my Cinderella moment, Sam." Mercedes said as she looked into his eyes
To him she never looked more beautiful than she did right in this moment. Why did it take him so long to notice her other than being his friend? He could have been happy with her then being in all those wasteful relationships where he got cheated on. He found it shocking she was single.
Sure she had a diva attitude and didn't rely on anyone but how much longer could that not affect her? Watching all her friends in love and there she was all lonesome. Then his heart broke for her once she left glee practice with all the prom talk. Knowing why she was upset, if he could he would give her the world. But due to his family situation he couldn't do much. But later on that week when she came up with Rachel with that prom proposal he couldn't say no. The hopeful look in her eyes, spoke to his soul.
"I'm glad I was the one to give it to you cede's" He whispered in her ear
The couple fell back into a sweet tender embrace, and they knew things changed beyond this night. They began to get comfortable with each other. Wrapped in their own world they didn't notice the stares of their friends. They all had smiles on their face to see them too happy as ever, like they finally found what was missing from their life.
As the song ended Mercedes told Sam she had to go to the lady's room. He walked over to one of the vacant tables and sat down. He tried to process his thoughts and feelings he began to feel for her. His thoughts were interrupted when Puck sat next to him.
"So you want to tell me something bout you and hot mama?" The Mo hawked teen said smirking
"Out there, it was like magic. It just felt so right with her being in my arms. Everything bout her tonight just made me finally see her. I never paid that much attention to her and I'm wondering why I didn't before. We clicked, more than I had ever with Quinn and I thought I loved her. Cede's just blew me away." Sam said smiling play with his bolo tie.
Puck was taken aback with the speech from his blonde haired friend. It was finally nice to see someone take a notice in Mercedes that deserved her. Yeah they went out last year but it was all a sham, to say the least she did teach him a thing or two. Without the guidance she gave him last year he wouldn't be half the man he was today. Yeah he made Lauren believe it was all for her but it wasn't. After last year with Beth. He wanted to become somewhat a better man, yeah it took a long time but he finally made his way, thanks to her. So when he seen her & Sam out on the dance floor, acting more than just friends he thought he would help them get together. It was something to give back to her for all she's done for him.
"I knew I liked you for a reason Evans, I think since you have all theses' feelings for mama, you go and get her before someone scoops her up from you. Don't let her get away. I know it might be a little bit of a challenge since she has this idea she likes to be single but I want her to be happy and I know you can give her a happy ending. So, don't make me regret helping you win her over got it?" Puck said as he let his hand out for Sam to shake.
Sam never thought he saw the day Puck cared about someone besides himself, but he was glad. He silently thanked him as he seen Mercedes make her way over to the table. His whole face light up as she came to sit next to him.
"Hey Puck" She said quietly toward him
"Well hello to you Miss Jones, Why don't you look gorgeous. Right Sam?" Puck replied with a small grin on his face
"You look absolutely beautiful, as I told you earlier, no girl can compare to you cedes" Sam said sweetly looking at her
She began to blush under his words, to stay he was laying it on thick would be an understatement, but damn did it feel nice to hear that coming from a guy. Sam was growing on her all night and she didn't know how to handle it. One moment she's thinking I'm good solo and on my own then when she looks at him and thinks," I don't have to be lonely anymore". It was all new and confusing for her.
" Thank you Sam, C'mon guys lets go back out there and show off our banging moves" she replied as she grabbed both their hands and lead them out on the dance floor. They them all laughing in the background.
