Puck had done her dirty again and she was going to get him back.
She was going to get both of them back.
Nobody messes with Mercedes Jones.
Nobody.
"So, Santana, I'm single now. You want to be official now?"
"Did wheezy decide to drop you sorry behind, again? I can't believe she decided to date you again after that whole fiasco last year."
"I know right. I just pulled the moves and she feel immediately. But she left me this time because she found out about us and flipped out. She didn't understand that I'm not a one-girl-at-a-time kind of man."
"Well I don't feel like messing around with little boys, so I'm not messing with you unless I get some type of commitment. I'm tired of being the other girl; either we're exclusive or no way."
"Are you going to put out?"
"Of course."
"Then sure." And with that Santana and Puck walked to glee. As they walked passed Mercedes he put his arm around Santana.
"See you in glee," he called. Mercedes waited until he turned the corner and began to sob. Sam came up behind her.
"Mercy, what's wrong?"
"I found out Puck was cheating on me with Santana, so I dumped him thinking that he would straighten up but instead he just went out with Santana."
"Well your first mistake was thinking he would change." Mercedes looked at Sam with a quizzical look. Most of the time guys weren't that honest with her. Actually most of time guys didn't talk to her.
"I know, I just-"
"Hold up, I'm not finished. Mercedes you're a beautiful girl and Puck was dumb for letting you go. You could do a lot better." Mercedes looked at Sam.
"What do you mean I could do a lot better? Do you see a bunch of guys waiting to date me?"
"Well, I've been waiting…"
"White boy say what!"
"It's true Mercedes." She just stared at him, she believed him but she didn't think she was quite ready to date again.
"I can see that you are a little distraught right now, but think about it. You know have a decision to make. You can move on, get him back, or get even. I'm going to support you with whatever you choose." At that moment a plan began to formulate in her head, she was going to do all three.
"I see those gears turning, what's going through that pretty little head of yours?"
"I'll explain later, right now I need to go shopping. Would you like to come with me? I bet shopping isn't your thing but Kurt-"
"Mercedes, spend more time with you, of course I'd love to." And with at they walked out to Mercedes car.
The next day Mercedes came to school in a new outfit. She walked down the hallway like it was a catwalk. She had on a pair of four inch black high heels, along with a pair of skin tight skinny jeans, and a black and white corset that hugged her in all the right places. She knew that by the end of the day her feet would be killing her, but it would all be worth it. As she walked past Puck and Santana, she gave her medium length, curled hair, a slight flip, but never once did she look at them. She could feel Puck gawking at her as she walked by and then heard Santana slap him.
"Puck, you're my boyfriend now. Your two eyes need to be only on me at all times. If I catch you looking at her like that one more time, blah, blah, blah" was all Puck heard. Well then I guess you won't have to catch me then. Since him and Mercedes dated for a couple weeks he knew her schedule pretty well and knew the places she like to go for a study hall. So he skipped his 5th period class and began searching for her. He checked the library first and saw that she wasn't there, he looked in her second favorite place, the courtyard behind the library, and there she was sitting, reading a book. She heard him coming up but didn't bother to turn around. He's here earlier than I thought he would be.
"Damn Mama, you look fine." She didn't move.
"Did you not hear me? You looking sexy." He hopped on the table she was sitting at.
"I heard you; I'm choosing not to respond. Your compliments mean nothing to me."
"Oh, is that how's it going to be?"
"I guess so." He hopped down from behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist and started kissing her neck.
"Puck, what do you think you're doing?" She tried "pulling away" from him. Just like I thought he would, jeez, he is so predictable. He's almost making this too easy.
"Just trying to get some chocolate loving from you." He began kissing her shoulders.
"You gave up that right when you cheated on me, why don't you go get some loving from your girlfriend?"
"Oh, Santana? She's nothing." Mercedes heart rate picked up and she could feel herself getting angry. I wonder if I was nothing to him. I wonder if he had this same conversation with Santana... I have to calm down or this won't work.
"Well if that's the case…" She turned around and kissed him. He began rubbing his hands all up and down her body. He went to grab the clasps on her corset.
"Hold up, I'm still not ready for it."
"Come on Mercedes, you're killing me here."
"You'll just have to be patient or you're never going to get this." He reluctantly agreed. He'd decided to just find Santana afterwards for a quickie to release the rush he was getting from Mercedes.
"Aren't you worried about anyone seeing you and telling Santana?" She whispered in his ear.
"I'll just deny it. I'm supposed to be in auto-tech right now and I never skip it and she knows. I just made an exception for you today." He looked up and smiled at her. She smiled back and they went back to making out. After the steamiest fifteen minutes of their lives the bell rang and Mercedes began straightening herself up.
"Maybe we can do this again."
"Maybe," Mercedes said with a smirk and began her journey to her next class, knowing Puck was watching her leave. Oh my god, I have to get my hands on those curves. With that thought, he texted Santana.
P: U up for some fun?
S: Right now?
P: bby, u been runnin thru my head all day. I need u
S: fine, janitor's closet 5 minutes.
P: kewl
He began the walk to the closet and began fantasizing about how Mercedes was going to walk through that door. Santana busted through the door.
"What's this about I hear about you and Mercedes hooking up behind the library?" Damn things get around this school fast.
"What are you talking about?"
"I heard from a friend of a friend that you and that black cow we're getting hot and heavy."
"Baby you know I only have eyes for you and plus I don't even know where the library is. It wasn't me." And with that final statement he started kissing Santana's neck imagining it was Mercedes soft neck. Santana forgot about Mercedes, focusing on Puck's kisses, and moaned in ecstasy. Ten minutes later they both stumbled out of the closet, fixing their hair. Puck gave her a goodbye kiss and they head their separate ways.
Over the next couple of days Mercedes kept up the sexy look and everyday Puck found a way to go find her and have an intense make out session, but by the end of the week he couldn't take it anymore.
"Mercedes I need you."
"Puck I didn't give it up to you when we were dating, what makes you think I will now?"
"What if we date again?"
"Your luck might be a little better."
"Fine I'll break up with Santana."
"For me?"
"Yes, I love you."
"You love me?"
"You heard me! I love you Mercedes Jones." Mercedes just stared at him. Oh this is even better than I expected. Using the acting lessons she took last summer she replied.
"I love you to." They finished up their session and began heading to their class.
"I'll do it tonight. I'll break up with her tonight. I need you now."
"I want to see it. I want to see her face when it happens." Puck stepped back in surprise. This wasn't like Mercedes, she's usually sweet and doesn't purposely hurt people and though he had never seen this look on her, he thought it was sexy.
"Alright fine, today after school, at her locker, but this means I get some this weekend."
"No."
"What? I'm breaking up with-"
"Sush! We can't start dating right after you break up with her; we have to wait till next week to date. But next weekend baby I'm all yours." She winked at him.
"Alright, I think I can handle that." He gave her a quick kiss before the bell rang and headed to class.
Later that afternoon, she watched Puck break up with Santana from down the hall. Santana was too upset to see Mercedes standing there with an evil grin on her face. With the devastation on Santana's face, Mercedes could tell that she actually loved Puck and didn't want to let him go. She felt slightly guilty but pushed her feelings aside. Well I loved him to. He watched Puck's face and could see that his heart wanted Santana, but his other "heart" wanted Mercedes too bad to let it win. Santana ran off crying and Puck looked just as heartbroken, but then he saw Mercedes and a smile came onto his face.
"All of that was just for you." He went in for a kiss.
"Not out here." He leaned back in shock and she raised her eye brow at him.
"Fine, but just because I love you."
"I love you too." She turned to go to her car and he smacked her butt, it took everything in her not to punch him in the throat, but she resisted knowing soon enough she would be happy.
Surprisingly enough Santana came to school the next day. She looked a little rough, but she wanted to show Puck she could make it without him. Puck saw her and his heart broke, but when he saw Mercedes he forgot about it. She was wearing a sleek red dress with a pair of sparkly black heels.
"Wow, you look hot."
"Don't I always?"
"Well yeah, but today especially."
"Well that's because I'm singing a song for you today in glee and I wanted to look nice for it."
"Are you sure you should be singing a song to me? Didn't you say it was too soon?" He looked at Santana who was standing down the hall, she was trying not to cry, but when Brittney gave her a hug the floodgates opened. He let out a whimper.
"Yes I'm sure, I'm going to be smart about it." Ignoring the fact that she could see the sorrow in his eyes, she gave him a hug and headed to class.
"See you in glee."
After her breakdown in the hallway, Mercedes was sure Santana was going to leave school, but to her surprise, when Mercedes walked into glee club she saw her sitting next to Brittney who was sitting next to Puck. Even better. Even though they weren't sitting next to each other Mercedes wanted them close enough to where they could see each other and she could look at them both. Mr. Shue grabbed everybody's attention.
"Alright guys, I have a cou-"
"Mr. Shue?" Mercedes shot her hand up.
"Yeah Mercedes."
"I have a song I'd like to sing with some help from a few of the girls in class."
"Uh, sure!" Mercedes went to the front of the class and smiled at Puck and then at Santana. Rachel, Quinn, and Lauren got up and stood behind her. The band began to play and the backup singers began to sing.
The girls| Mercedes
Oooooo
Oooooo
Oooooo
Oooooo
She, she ain't real,
She ain't gonna be able to love you like I will,
She is a stranger,
You and I have history,
Or don't you remember?
Sure, she's got it all,
But, baby, is that really what you want?
Puck loved the way her voice sounded so he really wasn't paying attention to the lyrics. God he is so dumb. Though Puck was missing the point of the song, he'd get it eventually. Santana, on the other hand, was skeptical. Once Sam heard her voice and the words she was singing, he knew what was up. His younger sister, even though she was only ten, loved Adele and he recognized the song.
Bless your soul, you've got your head in the clouds,
She made a fool out of you,
And, boy, she's bringing you down,
She made your heart melt,
But you're cold to the core,
Now rumor has it she ain't got your love anymore,
Rumor has it, ooh,
Rumor has it, ooh,
Rumor has it, ooh,
Rumor has it, ooh,
Rumor has it, rumor,
Rumor has it, rumor,
Rumor has it, rumor,
Rumor has it, rumor,
She is half your age,
But I'm guessing that's the reason that you strayed,
I heard you've been missing me,
You've been telling people things you shouldn't be,
Like when we creep out and she ain't around,
Haven't you heard the rumors?
Bless your soul, you've got your head in the clouds,
You made a fool out of me,
And, boy, you're bringing me down,
You made my heart melt, yet I'm cold to the core,
But rumor has it I'm the one you're leaving her for,
With that line she winked at Santana, who Britney had to hold back. It all clicked in Santana's mind and she was pissed. Puck still had no idea what was happening, but he knew he wasn't supposed to be enjoying the song. Sam knew Mercedes was getting her revenge, he just hoped she could move on.
Rumor has it, ooh,
Rumor has it, ooh,
Rumor has it, ooh,
Rumor has it, ooh,
Rumor has it, rumor,
Rumor has it, rumor,
Rumor has it, rumor,
Rumor has it, rumor,
All of these words whispered in my ear,
Tell a story that I cannot bear to hear,
Just 'cause I said it, it don't mean that I meant it,
People say crazy things,
Just 'cause I said it, don't that mean I meant it,
Just 'cause you heard it,
Puck realized what was happening and couldn't do anything besides curse at himself. He thought he was the biggest player around, but no, he had broken the heart of the number one player.
Rumor has it, ooh,
Rumor has it, ooh,
Rumor has it, ooh,
Rumor has it, ooh,
Rumor has it, rumor,
Rumor has it, rumor,
Rumor has it, rumor,
Rumor has it, rumor,
Rumor has it, ooh,
Rumor has it, ooh,
Rumor has it, ooh,
Rumor has it, ooh,
Rumor has it, rumor,
Rumor has it, rumor,
But rumor has it he's the one I'm leaving you for.
At that moment in time Mercedes went over to Sam and gave him a kiss. Sam looked shocked and happy, he then pulled her closer, she had definitely moved on. Puck looked shocked and hurt, Santana looked pissed, and Mercedes, along with her three background singers (who all wanted in on the revenge: Rachel on Santana for ruining her relationship with Finn, Quinn on Puck for getting her knocked up, and Lauren on both for the same reason as Mercedes) looked satisfied. She had successfully gotten Puck and Santana back. She ruined any possibility of a relationship between them and who knows, it could've been real between them, but at this point in her life she didn't care. She and Sam looked like they had a promising start to their relationship; he had been there to support her and waited for her to be ready before he even tried anything. He was patient with her, which was something Puck never was. She looked at Puck and Santana and laughed.
"Nobody messes with Mercedes Jones. Nobody."
A/n: I don't actually think Mercedes would act this way, but Adele inspired me. The song is Rumor Has It by Adele. I hope you enjoyed, review :)
