Hey guys so I am back. I hope you enjoy the updates and this new story. As always stay blessed and review!

Mercedes Jones walked into the office of her best friends Quinn Fabray and Santana Lopez. They went into work together once Mercedes asked them to work for her. She didn't trust just anyone with her career. Returning from her 8 month world tour she not only need to talk to her Publicist and Lawyer about her contract she wanted to see the friends she had missed since leaving. She knocked on the door before inviting herself in, smiling at Quinn and Santana who sat in Quinn's office going over some files.

"Do you two ever do anything other than work?"

Quinn and Santana turned towards Mercedes and both squealed running over to her. Mercedes hugged them tightly.

"I missed you both! Video chat doesn't make up for missed girls nights."

Santana broke free shaking her head, "I thought you weren't getting in until next week? You would have to come in early and screw everything up."

Mercedes beamed. "Well the tour was over and I missed my bed. You know I had to have the cleaners come in."

Quinn shook her head. "Cedes still with the spiders."

"Q the first time I left for tour when I came back there was a spider on my bed. I am over being sleep so the service makes sure there are no spiders laying eggs in my bed."

Quinn shook her head. "You have irrational fears."

"I do not!"

Santana smirked. "Chica you have always had ridiculous fears, walking and chewing gum, throwing salt over your shoulders. But it has gotten worse with the tour, you need to calm down."

Quinn sighed. "You need to come out with us tonight."

Santana stood. "Yas! And get plowed. How long has it been since someone has blown your back out?"

Mercedes shook her head. "Stop it! I have been very busy making you both very wealthy and sought after."

"Okay say you are hooking Q and I up, its a valid question Merce, how long has it been since a man has made you see stars? Since he made you hit them high notes. Got you speaking in tongues? Curling them toes?"

Mercedes shrugged. "Look maybe its been a while, Richard and I broke up and you know I don't sleep around."

Quinn stood from her chair. "Girl you and Richard broke up three years ago are you telling me that you haven't bumped uglies in three years?"

"Three and a half…" She said her voice trailing off. But she rallied back. "But look at me I am an actress and singer. I work hard trying to create a life I have only dreamed of. I am not the girlfriend material, I wont call or text. I won't be what they need from me and its not fair."

Santana laughed. "Who said anything about a relationship. Girl you need a booty call. I am talking a friends with benefits, blow your back out, legs in the air spread wide…" She began fanning herself. "Damn its been too long for me now that I think of it. Dani and I broke up and I need something new you know?"

Quinn sighed "That settles it. We are going out tonight."

Mercedes shook her head. "I am tired, maybe tomorrow or something."

"No you always do that. Maybe tomorrow thing and it never comes. You are coming out with Quinn and me and we are gonna get all three of us laid. Shoot I think its time I went back to guys anyways."

Mercedes laughed. "You say that now then you get with a guy and say "what the hell was I thinking? Look we can go out but am not going to be all up on a guy I don't know. I have an image to uphold. People can't see me acting a fool."

Quinn sighed. "Cedes when are you going to act 24? You have been in the spotlight since you were 18, making a name for yourself and you have hit it big. Going out and acting your age, having one night of harmless fun won't kill your career."

Mercedes sighed biting her lip and glancing from the blond to the brunette. The three of them had been thick as thieves ever since Jr. High. Even with their own likes and dislikes, their own identities in high school, their friendship remained in tact. Heading to UCLA, Mercedes took classes and worked as a backup singing for Uptown Records, while Quinn went into Law and Santana went into Mass Communication and Marketing.

Two years of singing backup and Mercedes was discovered by a manager at Sony records. As her career took off she never forgot where she came from or her friends. She made sure they were with her all the way, getting both Quinn and Santana jobs within Sony. As Mercedes career grew so did theirs. Now five years later, they were all doing big things and loving LA life. If only their love lives worked out like everything else did.

Mercedes stood walking to the door. "Fine I will have the car meet us at my hotel. And have Andy put us as VIP's at some clubs tonight."

Quinn and Santana stood smiling. "Tonight its going down and we are not leaving until you have a hottie on your arm and maybe if you get your granny panties out of the wad they are in, a man in your bed."

Walking to the elevator Mercedes bit her lip wondering if they were right. She did have a right to enjoy herself. The last time she really let go and enjoyed herself was a few years ago, after she broke up with her then boyfriend of six months, she went out but failed to do anything but worry about her upcoming tour. She was so into the job, she didn't really care if she met a guy or not. Well that and she didn't want to be let down by a man who wanted more than she was willing to give or who made her feel anything but annoyance at his persistence to be wit her. She sighed it was beyond time to let go and act her age. Maybe one night of letting go wouldn't be so bad.

Going to the club had been Mike's idea. He was certain it would bring Sam out of his funk. Ever since his engagement fell through two years ago, all Sam did was work. Yes he was one of the youngest Graphic Designers for Marvel, a dream job of his, but he had planned on being married with at least a child on the way by now. But his long term girlfriend decided she just couldn't take LA living or being with Sam any more. He was dedicated to his job, of course, but he was also attentive to her, she just wanted more than he was willing to give her.

As he surveyed the club his eyes stopped on a beauty he knew he had seen somewhere he just couldn't place her.

Whoever she was, Sam knew he was in trouble the moment she smiled at him. Or maybe it was the way she smiled towards him, he wasn't sure, but either way there was no way a smile like that could go unnoticed. Her face lit up when she laughed and he found himself wishing he was the one making her laugh. Her smooth mocha skin was flawless and when she stood to do one of the sexiest body rolls, even beat out his if he could believe it, he had ever seen in his life, his breath hitched seeing her curves hug her clinging dress. The woman had curves for days and his hormones were putting dirty thoughts into his mind. She sipped her drink and nodded to something her Friends said and he was sure he could spend his whole life making her smile like that just for him. He felt someone punch his arm and he shook his head at his friends. He shoved Mike back slightly.

"And what was that for?"

"If you don't stop drooling you are gonna cause a flood. This was supposed to be our "Bro" time to hang out not time for Finn and I to watch you swoon over a girl you are never gonna talk to because she is so out of your league.

Sam cut his eyes at Mike. "I could talk to her if I wanted too. I just choose not to."

Finn laughed. "Uh huh. Sam you may have been the Quarterback and football stud at your University, but you are still just Sam. You don't talk to girls they talk to you. Heck you can't even break up with a girl. They break up with you, or you get engaged knowing they were all wrong for you."

Sam exhaled, Finn was right Sam didn't have the heart to hurt a girl. His southern charm caused him to not be the typical jock. He truly was a gentleman and a romantic at heart. He saw the waitress hand the girls their check and he knew he had to act now or miss out on someone who could be the one.

He stood and Mike laughed. "Sam what are you doing?"

"I am going to talk to her."

Finn stood pulling out his phone. "I gotta record this cause the guys are not gonna believe this."

Rolling his eyes, Sam stood from the table and walked over to the girl, followed by Mike and Finn. He turned towards the brown doe eyed beauty and smiled. "I saw you from over there and I just felt the need to come over and say hi."

Mercedes was surprised to see this man in front of her. He was fine there was no denying it with his green eyes and dirty blond hair. His goatee added to increase his over all sexiness and she could see by his two sizes to small shirt his body was on point, but he seemed so much more than just his looks. She glanced at Quinn then Santana before glancing back at him. Sam, not taking offense to her silence, glanced back towards the beauty and smiled. "I am Sam, uh Sam I am and I don't like green eggs and ham."

The girl giggle and he heard Mike say "no". She glanced at her friends then back at Sam.

"Nice to meet you Sam, I am Mercedes."

Sam sighed with relief. "That is a beautiful name."

"Thank you. My parents thought so."

Sam laughed. "So I was wondering if you would like to go out with me on a date."

Mercedes glanced at him cocking an eyebrow.

"You are asking me out and you know nothing about me but my name?"

"I know I think you are beautiful, you have an amazing smile and it's clear that there is more to you than what you appear to be. I just want to get to know you."

Sam waited for her response as Mike and Finn stood there smiling at Quinn and Santana. Mercedes bit her lip and sighed.

"Look you are fine as hell I can't even deny that and I am extremely flattered, but I'm not sure we would have anything in common."

"You never know until you go out with me. I will even let you pick where we go and what we do. My treat of course."

Mercedes sighed, but the moment Sam smiled his lopsided grin at her she knew she couldn't say no. She stood from her chair and walked over to him. "How about you dance with me and convince me why I should agree on a date with you?"

Sam smiled holding out his hand. "That is something I wouldn't mind doing at all."

Sam lead Mercedes to the dance floor and Finn immediately took the empty chair next to Quinn. Mike following suit pulled a chair up to Santana.

"Hi I am Mike and that is Finn. We are with Sam and no we are not nearly as corning as he is...well I am not I can't speak for Finn."

Quinn rolled her eyes and shook her head. "They aren't here anymore you don't have to play like you don't know me."

Finn leaned in kissing her gently. "Well I like playing like i don't know you, makes me want to see if I can get you to sleep with me as a stranger."

"I swear jolly green you are just weird."

Mike pulled Santana closer to him. "Finn may be weird but he has a point. I like this whole meeting up, having sex and doing it all over again."

"Yeah but we did that already and if i remember you liked it so much you begged me for more."

Mike scoffed. "Begged? Please I know you are Bisexual Santana but the way I have you screaming makes me think you just didn't have the right man fulfilling those needs, that is why you went over to the girl side of things." Santana shook her head and glanced at the dance floor.

"He really has no idea who he is dancing with do you?"

Finn and Mike glanced back to the floor and shook their heads. "He said that she looked familiar he just had no idea why."

"Yeah well it looks like she is really feeling trouty mouth over there."

Finn sighed, he knew if Sam found out who she was, he would lose whatever confidence he has. "We can't tell him who she is, you know Sam and this is the first time I have seen him this confident and this loose in a long time. I mean I know we agreed to set them up but we gotta play this right."

Mike nodded. "I agree, Do you think she will tell him?"

Quinn frowned. "No, if he didn't know she wouldn't tell him. I agree though, I mean the way she is dancing down there, the way she is letting loose like your friend, I think she is just enjoying the moment."

Santana cleared her throat. "Lets get down to brass tax here. Your friend, he is a good guy right? Cause you me Mike, I may be all sexy and spicy but if he hurts her or plays her I will turn Sam into Samantha."

"Sam is a great guy, one of the greatest guys I know. He won't hurt her. Will she hurt him?"

Quinn sighed looking over to Mercedes on the dance floor.

"Mercedes is everything you say Sam is and more. She won't hurt him. I just hope she falls for him because if you are right about him, then she needs that, she deserves that."

Mercedes spun around so her back was facing Sam as they danced to the up tempo song. There was something about this green eyed man that made her feel again. The moment his hands went to her hips and he pulled her into him, she knew she could be a goner. As a slow song came on, he spun her towards him and smiled as he moved himself closer to her.

"I know you have to hear this alot but you are beautiful."

Mercedes wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled. "I may hear it a good deal but coming from you makes me feel it even more."

Sam ran his hands down her back and stopped at the curve of her butt. He swallowed hard staring into her eyes. She smiled widely.

"You seriously have no idea who I am do you?"

Sam stared at her for a moment then shook his head. "I can't say that I do, should I?"

Mercedes smiled. "No just wondering."

"Well are you going to tell me why I should know you?"

Mercedes inhaled looking around the dim club. "Nope. I think for tonight I would just rather be a woman and let you be a man and we both just enjoy that."

Sam pulled her closer. "I actually like that a lot."

Mercedes licked her lips slightly. She didn't know where her boost of confidence came from but in that moment she needed Sam. "You know I do too. You wanna get out of here?"

"Oh I do, I really do. But you should know I don't do this kind of thing."

"You know that is funny because I don't either. I don't know why I am so comfortable doing it but I am."

Sam pulled her off the dance floor and towards the table. "Your place or mines? Or should we go somewhere neutral?"

Mercedes cleared her throat. "Well seeing as my place is being cleaned...I was away for a bit, I am staying at the Four Seasons."

Sam smiled. "Well then shall we go?"

Mercedes walked towards Santana and Quinn. "Well guys I am getting tired so I think I will call it a night. You guys can keep the car I am just gonna grab a cab."

Quinn smirked. "Grab a cab? I guess that is what they are calling it San."

Sam had pulled Mike and Finn aside smiling from ear to ear.

"So we are going to get out of here, its probably best if you don't wait up for me."

Mike patted Sam's back as Finn stood there smiling. "Well how about you take the car? I am sure we can find a way home."

Mike handed Sam the keys and smiled. "Make sure you protect yourself and her so wrap up little Sammy, that is why we went to the store and got you all the supplies you would need if this happened."

"Look guys I am not a virgin and this is not my first rodeo."

"Yeah but its been awhile since you have been with a woman and I am just afraid you will not have the stamina to perform."

Sam shoved a laughing Mike and walked towards Mercedes. "So as a gentleman I should walk you out and make sure you get home safely and I am always a gentleman."

Mercedes waved goodbye to Quinn and Santana and walked out the club with Sam, hoping no one would recognize her.

As Sam lead her to his car she glanced around seeing they were alone and Mercedes stopped him as he opened the passenger door for her.

"You know all this might be a bust I mean what if we don't have any chemistry and we get to the room and its just a dud you know?"

Sam smirked at her before pulling her up to him and kissing her deeply. She melted into his arms as his tongue caressed her lips seeking entrance. After a few moments she pulled away taking a deep breath and trying to find her voice. Sam smiled cockily.

"So how was that?"

Mercedes shrugged slightly. "Eh it will do."
