Hi. So I'm so suppose to be studying. Actually as I type this a lecture is playing in the background. BUT I was able to pen something (Yay!). So I told one of my readers who contacted me about another story that I was planning on starting a new story since some of my other ones will be wrapping soon... Well when I can wrap them. So my brain has not been able to let this current storyline go and I was hoping one of the WAY MORE talented writers on here would do it. I guess I learned that a closed mouth does NOT get fed (Basically saying my silence on the matter and hoping for it to happen and not just SAYING "Please write this" is my own fault.)
So what is this anyway? Well I believe there are a few three person couples could honestly survive on this show. One is Brittany, Santana, and Artie thanks to Samcedes Summer in LA (The way they are in that story is so cute and the fact that they were kissing on Artie after Nationals… well yep it is now Canon to me now LOL). Another is what this story will be about and that is Sam, Mercedes, and Quinn. So I've been wanting a story that ties these three together in a canon like environment (with a bit of AU cause I just can't let some of what went down this season happen here) in season 3 where the three of them are in a relationship and how that would happen (BTW what happened to DIVAine Intervention and The Bridge? I loved those stories!).
Anyway I'm hoping you guys: Read, Enjoy, and Review…
Love ya! Bye (leaves to pay attention to lecture)
Oh and yeah I'm starting at the end of Hold On to Sixteen. And its untitled because I can't think of one and I was hoping you guys could come up with one. Lazy I know. LOL
"Hey Mercedes, can I talk to you for a second?"
Mercedes turned to face Quinn and smiled, nodding a co-operative "Sure!" She turned back around, saying good bye to Santana, and lightly kissing Brittany on the cheek. She gently touched Sugar's shoulder, and patted Artie, as the two wheeled off, Sugar securely in his lap. She walked towards the risers on the auditorium stage, where Quinn was perched, where the group just left after singing Fun's We are Young officially reuniting the Trouble Tones with the New Directions. She noticed Sam eyeing her as he was pulled away by Puck, Mike, Finn and Rory towards the opposite stage exit, as they hushed about giving Sam a guy's night out, as a proper welcome back to Lima, McKinley, and the New Directions.
Once everyone was gone, the two friends where the only ones left on stage in the auditorium. They fell into an easy silence, Mercedes waiting to find out what Quinn wanted, and Quinn waiting to make sure they were honestly alone before she began talking. After a moment, and sure that all of the others where out of ear shot, Quinn smiled "I'm happy you guys are back"
Mercedes perked up and shrugged "So am I. I have to admit I missed you guys"
"I missed you too" Quinn hushed, quickly adding "We all did" She looked down to her hands folded neatly on her lap as she sighed. She nervously played with the bottom of her adorable eyelid dress, as she chewed her bottom lip, a sign she was far from done and had more to say. "I'm sorry" she finally blurted out, taking a chance to glance at the raven haired girl next to her.
"For what?" Mercedes questioned as she slid closer to Quinn, concerned by her solemn tone.
"I'm sorry for not sticking up for you in Booty Camp" she sighed. "Maybe if I did, you would have never left in the first place" Quinn shrugged.
Mercedes smiled, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder as she pulled her into a sideways hug. "I forgive you" she chuckled lightly. "Plus Tina told me that you made sure you let it be known Shue was to blame the next practice. And don't act like I don't know it was you who brokered the agreement with Rachel and him about the Trouble Tones." Mercedes smiled as she nudged Quinn playfully. "I mean how else would she agree to share her precious spot light?" she chuckled. "It may not have been on time, but you did defend me, and for that I say thank you"
Quinn gave her a weak smile, as she took a deep breath. "The sorry isn't just for not sticking up for you though" she admitted. "It's also for leaving you, after sophomore year, after I moved out. We haven't really talked since then, and it's my fault" she huffed. "I just pulled away from you" the blonde looked down into her lap again ashamed of abandoning her friendship with no explanation why. "I'm sorry. It should have never happened"
Mercedes pulled the taller girl into her, placing her other arm around her, granting her a kind hug. "What did you think I meant when I told you "You've been missed" when you first came back to Booty Camp?" she questioned. " You've gone through a lot Quinn. We've all seen you struggling with everything, and I know you. You're the type that when they are ready to open up you will, but not before then. But I knew you'd be back, so that has already been forgiven" she smiled nuzzling into Quinn's neck. She pulled back, allowing a bit of space to be resumed between them.
Quinn perked up, smiling sweetly relieved and energized that apologizing was much easier than she assumed it would be. "So let's catch up" she giggled.
"Now?" Mercedes laughed, her joyous tone filling up the entire stage, bouncing off of the walls.
"Yeah why not?" Quinn shrugged sliding closer to her friend, smoothing out her dress.
"Well what do you want to know?" Mercedes questioned, shrugging.
"I don't know" Quinn beamed. "Every thing, like umm, you and Sam" she shrugged.
"There is nothing to talk about there" Mercedes turned slightly, her cheery demeanor dimming as her face fell.
"Well he's back here for you" Quinn smiled sliding closer, her thigh touching the other girls, as she took her hand, sliding her fingers between Mercedes soft tender digits. "What happened between you two?'
"Well" Mercedes huffed, taking a moment to think before saying strategically "We had a summer fling"
"A summer fling? Okay" Quinn sighed, waiting for farther explanation, searching the girls face for any signs of more.
"That's all" Mercedes shrugged, obviously uncomfortable with the topic.
"But what does that mean?" Quinn quizzed.
"It means we had a fling" Mercedes responded.
"Yeah, I get that" Quinn huffed frustrated by Mercedes secrecy as she attempted to elude her question. "But that can run a range of actions, from kissing to going all the way" she explained looking into Mercedes dark brown eyes. She shyly looked away, avoiding Quinn's gaze attempting to evade the subject. "Well did he kiss you?" Quinn questioned.
"Well yeah" Mercedes smirked, as if it seems obvious what the answer would be.
"Well how did he kiss you?" Quinn asked moving in close to Mercedes face, looking at the reflection in Mercedes lip gloss.
"What do you mean?" Mercedes quizzed back. "He kissed me" she repeated as if the remark was obvious
"I mean how did he kiss you?" Quinn pressed on sliding even closer to her. "Was it like this?" And with that question, Quinn pressed her lips against Mercedes, granting her a quick and innocent peck, as she reveled in the soft padding of her mouth.
Mercedes eyes widened from shock and surprise from the action, her lips stiffening at the contact. As Quinn pulled back, Mercedes searched her green eyes, noticing how they muddied into a light hazel at their edges. Her mouth hung slightly open, amazed that her friend just kissed her. "Quinn" Mercedes whispered, astonished by the act.
"Or was it more like this?" Quinn quickly questioned not giving Mercedes room to refuse, she pressed her lips to hers again, kissing her deeper as she gently cupped her round brown cheek in her pale hand. Quinn softly nipped at her lips, taking her bottom lip between hers. She gently pierced her pillow lips, with her pink tongue, her eyes fluttering shut as she did. She mentally reveled in the boldness of her actions, and the sweetness of Mercedes mouth. She became so lost in the sweet release of her own action, quietly triumphing her bravery, it took Quinn a moment to notice that not only was there no resistance to her gesture, Mercedes was actually kissing her back as she met her tongue with hers, gently fighting for dominance with hers. Quinn inwardly smiled, happy she was being received well as she continued to kiss Mercedes, her hand sliding down to her collar bone, delicately playing against her soft skin and the collar of her shirt. Allowing her hand to drift farther down to Mercedes buoyant breast, outside of her shirt, she lightly squeezed her, as a soft moan slipped from her lips.
Suddenly, as if she were awaken from a fog, Mercedes pulled away from Quinn's kiss, shocked and scared. She brought her fingers to her lips, touching them in alarm, unsure of what just happened. "Oh no" she whispered as she stood up from her spot next to her friend. She slowly backed away from the risers, towards the stage's side door exit.
Quinn quickly stood up from her seat, searching Mercedes face. "Wait, Mercedes" she pleaded, reaching out to the shocked girl.
"I… I have to go" Mercedes shook her head, making a hasty retreat off stage. "Bye" she quickly threw out as she took one last look at Quinn before she hurried out of the door.
Quinn plopped back down on the risers, as she gazed out into the vacant audience, surprised by what she had just done. She touched her lips, remembering the press of Mercedes lips against them, and how she tasted. Quinn smiled softly, recalling that she'd been kissed back by Mercedes, making her resolve to get her that much stronger.
