Our Love is Like Wow

TUESDAY
Los Angeles
"I'll see you later babe I'm a bit busy right now can't talk" Sam said as he put the phone down quickly
"Who was that Babe?" Brittany asked as she came out of the kitchen with his lunch
"Just Mike making arrangements for later tonight"
"He always takes you away, can you not make me the priority tonight please?" she said slamming herself on the couch next to him with a sulk on her face
"Babe you know I have work to do and it won't wait"
"Will you be back later?"
"How often do I stay over babe? It doesn't happen, so that's a silly question isn't it?"
"I just feel like you're always on the run every time you come you're making plans to leave it's getting boring and it's Valentine's Day"
"Babe you know the score I'm not about to be tied down and this is an open relationship your free to leave it any time you want" he said totally ignoring the Valentine's Day thing
"I thought we agreed to be exclusive about a month ago?"
"You asked it but, I didn't agree to that babe, I'm not ready" he said "I've gone off this food now with all that negative clingy chat I'm out of here" he got up and walked towards the door saying
"When will you be back?" following him to the door
"When I'm back, stop with the clingy, shouldn't you be getting to the dance studio already?" 'I need some food girl' he thought.
"See you then" she said going forward for a kiss, he gave her his cheek
"Bye babe" he said and he was gone
Before he got to his car he was on the phone again "Hi babe I'm starving just thinking about you and your legs and some cooked food I'll be round in about an hour no make that 20 minutes I can't wait that long to see you, get something ready" he said jumping in his car and he was off. He stretched a 5 minute drive to make it look convincing when he got there she was at the door waiting
"Babe great to see you" he said walking in the door
"I wish you'd call me Santana or something different, Babe sounds like something you say to everyone and I'm special yeah?"
"Your food's special have you got something ready for me I'm starving?" he asked ignoring her request and flopping onto the large couch in the middle of the room
"It's in the oven just enough time for us to get our mac on before you announce another departure, Happy Valentine's and all that, I'd love to know what it is that you actually do" she said
"If I told you that I'd have to kill you" he replied laughing 'I play girls that's what I do' he thought 'what is it with these chicks and Valentine's Day'
"No mac on today babe I'm going to meet Mike for some business in 20 minutes I really did just pop in, I could do with you rushing that food on though"
"Come on Sam it's been a week since you touched me, just an hour of your time that's all I'm asking for, it's Valentine's day come on"
"I'm totally flat babe I've got that much on my mind I don't think I can perform"
"I'll do all the work just give me something" she said straggling him as he stretched out on the couch with his arms across the top, her slowly kissing him from his face down to his dick "Let me do the work babe"
Sam dropped his head back to let her do the work and to keep the image of her out of his mind too he was so fed up with these bitches and their love for dick "That feels good babe" he said once he started getting in the mood for it. Santana knew he was ready and jumped on him. She tried to kiss him, on the mouth, several times during the short session but he kept moving his head pretending tobe mega enjoying himself 'get your slut filled lips off me' he thought as he flashed his head around. Just as he started to feel the urge to explode she started performing 'shit I'm at the fucking zoo' he thought closing his eyes to concentrate on himself.
"Get off I'm ready" he said but she stayed put "Get off" he shouted and she still persisted "Get the fuck off" he shouted pushing her off so he could explode, when he came down he was angry "What the fuck was that about"
"Would it be so bad if we got pregnant?"
"Are you shitting me, we fuck that's what we do, there is no relationship here just fucking and food, what would make you think we could have a child or even that I want a child, next time cover my shit up no more bareback for you bitch" he told her getting up to pull his trousers up and visit the bathroom, heading to the door when he came out
"Sam I'm sorry it won't happen again" she shouted following him to the door
"You're right it won't I don't know if I'm coming back after that stunt" he said walking out the door and slamming it behind him. 'Bitches keep trying to trap my ass and I'm stupid enough to let them try smarten up Sam I am'. He got to his car cursing out Santana for her antics, as he opened the door to get in something made him look across the road "Wow" he said as he saw a girl across the road looking as fine as hell and even though he had just shot his load he felt definite movement in that area just looking at her. Her hair long, black and curly her hips were definitely of child baring status, graciously flicking from side to side as if she was dancing down the street, her lips were the kissable type and she had two lumps of heaven attached to her chest. He got in his car and sat looking as she swaggered to the end of the street swinging her bag as men and women spoke to her and then suddenly she turned the corner, just then his phone rang bringing him out of his trance.
"Sam are you coming or not? I have things to do, if you've cancelled on me Bro" Mike warned
"I got to go see one more Bitch and then I'm with you Bro I need me some food and these tricks are playing me today" he said starting his engine and flipping his phone off and then on again
"Babe has your mama cooked?" he said waited for the response and then said "I'm on my way" speeding off in the direction of her house
Twenty minutes later he got to Quinn's house and his dinner was being served out for him as he pressed the buzzer he could see her in the kitchen dishing up 'if I had to choose I could be with this bitch for a while, too needy by half but her mama can cook' he thought as she came towards him with a plate and a smile
"You can have this" she said as she opened the door "if you call me Quinn I need to hear you say my name Sam"
"Quinn" he said
"Thank you" she said as if he'd just given her the best present in the world, giving him the plate of food, which he devoured within minutes
"Where's your mama?"
"She's out for the afternoon" she replied getting excited "Why?"
"I just wanted to thank her for the food" he said seriously "But I can thank you if you want" he added making her face light up
"I'd like that" she said "It is Valentine's Day after all"
"Thank you" he said knowing full well that was not what she was expecting "Look Babe we've been here before, you're much too fertile to be having sex with, I mean three babies in three years I'm not about to join your club babe" seeing her disappointment "Besides I got to get to the studio this evening before I go to the club to DJ, and no I don't want to see you there".
His phone rang again, it was Mike "Dude bring it to the club and I'll take it from there" he said exchanging a few more words before hanging up the phone.
"What is he bringing to the club, another woman?" she asked
"We've been here before too, we are not exclusive hell I ain't even fucking you so that is none of your business but no it's not another woman"
"So you do fuck other women?"
"You sure as hell fuck other men you got three babies to prove it"
"You know I was in relationships when they happened, why are you throwing that in my face?"
"I'm stating a fact babe you ain't pure, what do you expect?"
"If that's how you're gonna speak to me you can fuck off out my house" she said, he didn't hesitate he get up and headed towards the door, happy for the exit offer
"No Sam I didn't mean that, stay please" she said grabbing hold of his arm to stop him
"I think I need to leave so we can both calm down I'll see you again soon babe" he said walking out the house 'tricks think they be owning me for fuck sake a bit of food and I'm supposed to roll over? Forget that' he thought walking towards his car, getting in and taking out his phone
"Mike what is that whore up to?"
"She's coming to the club later Dude, she sounds mad, all I can say is take care of the money dude take care of the money I'm out" Mike said, he didn't want to tell Mike he wasn't bothered about the money because, then he'd have to explain everything else
Sam's mind was on getting to the studio to put his beat down, he'd just heard a fresh beat last night, he had put some words to it and wanted to test it out. As he drove along he saw "Wow" again at the local shop "Who is she?" he asked himself, obviously getting no answers. He got to the studio and discussed his new beat and lyrics and within the hour he was doing his demo first run
"What do you think?" he asked when he finished
"It's fresh but needs something, I'll let you know when I know, but it definitely needs something" Bigga said as he wound down the beat.
"Okay I'll leave that with you then Bigga, it's my beat though remember that" he said walking out of the recording booth and heading towards the exit 'Listen to that sound it's good it's really good' he said to himself as he walked down the narrow corridor looking through the swing door gap, not believing his luck when he saw "Wow" standing there with headphones on singing like an angel. "So mystery woman has fuck me eyes, a beautiful body and an angelic voice, I need me some of that" he smiled as he turned to walk away
"You like Sam I am" Puck said as he went to push the door to the studio Wow was in. Puck was the guitarist for most of Bigga's back tracks, well known in the business for being very good at what he did
"Who is she?"
"I don't know some voice Bigga found and he's treating her like gold" Puck replied
"Like gold?"
"Gold dude"
He stood listening to the rest of the song after Puck had entered the studio, loving everything he heard "So Bigga thinks she's his gold does he?" he thought "another goal I'm setting myself" he smiled
Sam treated women as stepping stones, either to get him where he needed to be or to sleep with no strings attached, he just never made that clear to the women who befell to him. He knew he was a looker he had grown up being told as much and had loved it initially but when he was abused by an older family friend he's attitude changed and every woman paid for the hurt he was unable to share with his parents for fear he would be blamed for the abuse. He saw women as objects to be used, never to be trusted and unlovable, he took money mainly because he could rather than because he needed it.
He looked at his phone, he had about 30 minutes to get home, wash and get to the club where he was sure more drama was going to happen as the one Rachel was going to be there. She was in the entertainment business and had done well for herself unlike Santana and Quinn. She was in theatre and loved singing songs that meant nothing to him but she also, financially supported him, which for him gave a two finger solute to all females, so as a lesser evil he lapped up the songs in return for the money he'd receive every time they met. He resisted calling her babe because he knew it was a pet hate of hers that never got him a positive outcome, she'd want sex every now and then, which she thought was a prize for him but in truth he had to watch blue movies to get a buzz and would focus on them to get ready for bed activities with her in particular.
So he was at home in the shower the first time his phone rang 'Sam see you later, It's Valentine's Day and we need to talk and you're never in one place long enough' Brittany's message said. He was still in the shower when the second message came 'Fuck it, It's Valentine's Day I need to be with my man, I'm coming to the club those bitches better know you're my man' Quinn wrote with a wicked laughing face at the end. He was brushing his teeth when the third message came 'I needs me some of my special Valentine tonight so, I'm coming to get you later' Santana wrote
As he walked out the bathroom his phone rang again and he picked it up "Hi Sam speak"
"I've told you before about answering the phone like that Sam stop it" Rachel barked back
"Hi it's you, I thought I was meeting you at the club"
"What was all that shit about not being able to speak to me and putting the phone down on me this afternoon who were you with?"
"I was on my way to the studio, but I had a song in my head, now it's out I can concentrate on you" he said rolling his eyes for the bull shit coming out his mouth
"Stop with the bull shit Sam" she said laughing "I'll be there in 10 minutes, it's Valentine's so come with game, be there" she said clipping the phone off.
'That's what happens when a bitch thinks it has you by the balls Evans, no play no pay. ' he said to himself as he grabbed his key and headed out
He got to the club at the same time as Rachel, done the usual air kiss and acted the gentlemen all set for the evening "Drink" he asked once he'd escorted her to her usual table, wanting to get away to check out the club before his time on the decks
"Usual" she said as he moved off and headed towards the bar
He had just ordered her drink when he heard a familiar voice behind him "Sam I'll have my usual while you're there"
"What you doing here babe" he said turning to see Brittany standing behind him
"Happy Valentine's, I left you a message saying I was coming" she said holding her arms open for him
"Well you shouldn't have I'm here with someone" he said quickly thinking about Mike's favourite phrase 'take care of the money'
"With who? she asked lowering her arms and tearing up
"My girlfriend"
"You never said you had a girlfriend Sam" she said attracting the attention of some people sitting on the seats at the bar. He went to answer her back harshly when he noticed 'Wow' sitting two seats down from where they were standing pretending not to pay any attention to what was happening.
"Babe come with me" he said pulling her along with him as he went towards the exit. Once outside he started talking again "Look I have never told you that we were anything but fuck buddies so, I don't know why this is such a shock get over it Babe no hard feelings but, you're not the settling down type of girl I'm looking for"
"Do you know what you're fucking looking for Sam" she said walking back into the club while fanning him off, not wanting to hear anything else from him
"Babe you didn't need to wait out here for me I'm a big girl now" Quinn said as she neared him as he stood watching Brittany walk away
"Babe what's happening tonight, why are you here?" he asked
"Valentine's, I left you a message"
"I feel like I'm on groundhog day here, I'm here with someone babe" he said "And before you ask she's my girlfriend, yes I have one and she's in there"
"You've never mentioned a girlfriend Sam we wouldn't be together if you had mentioned a girlfriend" she told him shocked
"Well I'm mentioning her now and babe we have never been an item we were fuck buddies without the fuck" he said laughing
"I'm glad you think it's funny well I'm dressed now no use crying over spilt man, I'm off to find me another man" she said walking in the club
"Please not another baby candidate" he shouted after her, she gave him the two finger sign.
Sam looked around to see if number three was on her way over but the coast looked clear so a while later he went inside to get Bitch's drink and settle in their VIP spot, as he waited in the queue he noticed that 'Wow' was still sitting at the bar "Hi…" he went to say as Bigga came up behind him
"Sam I have my pot of gold here that I've just gotten a guest spot for tonight, I seem to remember in the back of my mind somewhere that you sung too" he said laughingly "and I wondered if you and Gold could sing a song for me tonight?"
"Gold is that her name?" he asked
"No, her stage name is Amber" Bigga said "and she's going to be mega believe me my man" Bigga said pointing his finger "But Sam no scams with this one she's a sister and I might just get offended" he said to Sam who held his hands up observing the warning.
"Just a heads up Sam, I just had Quinn and Brittany ask me for a spot tonight so get your armour ready cos I gave it to them" Bigga said as Sam grabbed the drinks and went back to the table Rachel was seated at
Five minutes earlier
"Give me a fucking drink bartender" Santana said pulling up a chair
"Like that is it?" a blond girl sitting in the next chair said
"Yeah just walked in to see my man sitting with some next bitch and I'm thinking to go all hype on them, but I stopped to think, what am I fighting for? And I can't for the life of me raise my hand to the bitch she can have him" Santana told her
"Same but different I came all the way here to see my man who tells me he has a girlfriend would you fucking believe it. He's been screwing me for the past 6 months and all of a sudden a girlfriend comes out the woodwork. I was going to bring it too but then I thought poor bitch she's welcome to him he ain't going to change so I'm just having a quiet drink" Quinn said
"Not eaves dropping but your story is my story and I don't mean to pry but what's his name?" Brittany asked
"Sam" Quinn and Santana said at the same time
"Sam" Brittany pointed to herself saying to the two shocked women
"Him over there" Brittany said pointing him out to the other two women
"Yep Sam" they said
"Well that's the end of my pity party I'm going to sing and get it out my system and then I'm back on the market" Santana said
"I'm a dancer but I'll give it a try" Brittany informed them
"I sing mostly act but I do sing" Quinn said
"Let's go speak to my friend Bigga, get a spot that will shock the shit out of him" Brittany said
"I'll guard the drinks" Santana said watching them walk off
Real Time
So 30 minutes later they were standing behind the stage working out what to sing and who was to sing what "Ladies and Gentlemen I give you the Troublemakers singing a song to their ex apparently" the compare said and the music started and they started singing "If your lips are moving" by Megan Tenor Brittany started them off Santana took the next verse and Quinn took the third with Santana singing the last one and the others backing to finish the song.
Sam sat looking at the stage remembering to close his mouth as his now ex's sang him a fuck you song not only had he finished with them they had actually found each other and obviously talked enough to come up with this fuck off song he was mortified what was he going to do all day now he missed Blond Bimbo's mom's cooking already.
"Someone really hurt those girls" Rachel said clapping loudly as they left the stage
"Sam" Bigga shouted from off the stage, as Sam got up and waved acknowledgement "Get up here my man you're up next" he said before addressing the audience "You're witnessing another Bigga mash up here I've never tested these two out actually they've never met so, it's a bit of a challenge to them to get this right, it just sounds like it fits to me so here singing the make or break Bigga song "Just a fool' by Christina Aguilera & Blake Shelton Ladies & Gentlemen please welcome Sam and Amber" Bigga said backing away from the centre stage as Sam and Amber came forward.
"You ready for this" Sam said as the audience clapped
"As I'm going to be" Amber said "I'm starting?"
"Yep" Sam said as the intro finished and then he was standing there thinking Amber had the most beautiful smile he had ever seen, she smiled as he sung his bit and even he had to admit they sounded good together when their voices came together. He couldn't deny he really enjoyed jamming with her it seemed like the most natural thing and somehow he knew how to set the harmonies, rise and fall, by the end of the song they were both happy with the outcome.
People were up on their feet clapping and cheering at the performance even Sam was impressed before he could say anything to Amber Bigga was on stage "Great mix people we need to get that down"
"Your voice is beautiful" Sam said to who he now knew to be Amber
"Yours ain't half bad too, I hear you're country white boy" she said shocking him as he looked round but her eyes told him she was playing with him, I like a challenge he thought, smiling back.
Next thing he knew Rachel was up on stage hugging, trying to kiss him, forcing his arm around her and smiling for the crowd, if nothing else she craved an audience.
Later on Sam went to the bar to get refills, Amber was still sitting at the bar "Hi again I hear you have two names?" he asked
"One for you Mr. Evans"
"Please call me Sam"
"I'm fine with Mr. Evans I hear you have four dicks"
"What!" Sam asked in shock again
"Well I know those Ladies were singing to you and there were three of them then a fourth one came on stage at the end of the song so I know you have or should I say had at least four girlfriends at the beginning of the night"
"For some unknown reason I don't want to lie to you, so yes I had four female friends at the beginning of the night but, including the one you still see me with, I never asked any of them to be my girlfriend it was all very casual and up front"
"So as you're not lying to me can I ask, what makes number four so special, why is she still attached?"
"I shouldn't have told you I didn't want to lie to you, should I?" he asked laughing "Okay, and I am ashamed of it before you tell me I am, but she gives me regular money for these appearances"
"So you're a gigolo?"
"No she doesn't know that she pays me for all these favours and appearances"
"So last intrusive question honest, do you have sex with her?"
"Yes on occasion" he said "Always safe sex and nothing adventurous, she doesn't do anything for me"
"Do you think I could, how you say, do something for you?"
"You are doing something for me" he said not hiding the lust in his voice
"If you wasn't digging out four girls already, I might have tried the merchandise but it's a red flag for me I'm afraid" Amber said getting up to leave
"Where you going?"
"I think the question should be where should you be" she said looking over his shoulder to see Rachel hot on his heels "Bye" she said before the drama started
"Sam where's my fucking drink" she came towards him shouting "You go to get me a drink I find you chatting up the fucking help what's up with you"
"What did you say, the help?" he asked aghast "That is so fucking racist Rachel you need to take that back it won't look good on your CV" he stood waiting for her to take it back "I just sung the most amazing song with her and I wanted to find out a bit more about her what's your problem?" he asked when she didn't come forward with the apology
"You'll know what's wrong with me when your studio time money doesn't appear in the bank Mr. don't fuck with me; my drink" she said walking away
Fucking bitch needed to do that yeah? I should get her all worked up and then walk away just to seriously piss her off, she's like a slapped pig when she gets started, calling Amber the fucking help, she's horrible
Sam took her a drink and made his excuses and left for the stage to play his music and rap the only two things he loved in this life, in that order. He stayed on stage, creating a Valentine's vibe for longer than usual just to piss Rachel off and it worked because when he finally put the decks down and returned to their booth she had gone leaving a note stating that she was too tired to wait and would see him next week, he done a fist punch in the air "Result" he said with the biggest smile on his face.
WEDNESDAY
"Sam" Bigga shouted across the dance floor "You still sleeping around cos Amber here could do with a bed and if you're not in yours she could use it yeah?"
Sam couldn't believe his luck Bigga was giving him this fucking goddess on a plate "No problem but it's not a safe neighbourhood I'd have to stay with her"
"Your stay with her needs to get parked Sam I am, this is Gold refined and untouched I'd encourage you to keep her that way if you know what I mean, your manhood depends on it"
"No problem Biggs wasn't thinking outside that box" he lied as he beckoned Amber to come to him "I'm ready if you are?" he said when she got to him
"It's 2am I'm ready" she said, as he took up his jacket and left the club with Amber beside him, pulling her trolley bag. The drive home was quiet and, unusual for him, he opened the car door for her to get out and let her walk into the building first
When they got to his apartment he rushed in to clean up and move things around apologising as he did it, showed her where her bedroom and the bathroom were before offering her a hot drink, surprisingly they both liked hot chocolate with sprinkles and cookies so after Amber unpacked her emergency things and freshened up that's what they had as they sat on his couch getting familiar
"So, it's Valentine's Day let's get to know each other, shall we play that what's your favourite game?" he asked
"Valentine's was officially yesterday but seeing as we haven't been to sleep yet I'll go with that, what's this game then?" Amber enquired
"One asks what's your favourite say drink and the other has to answer" he said "You go first"
"What's your favourite song" Amber asked
"Just a fool"
"Sam you can't do that it's got to be of all time"
"Right answer Just a fool" he said again
"Favourite name" he asked
"Easy Mercedes or Mercy to my friends"
"Is that your real name?"
"That's not a favourite question? Amber said before smiling at him "Yes it is"
"Your favourite kiss" Amber asked
"Yet to come"
"Favourite Orgasm" Sam asked
"Bit personal that, but still to come pardon the pun" she laughed
"Favourite girlfriend" Amber asked
"Not happened yet"
"Come on Sam you're cheating at this game" she said laughing
"I'm not seriously I was raped when I was 13 by my Mom's friend and since that I've used women, I've never really had a girlfriend I suppose I give Rachel that title because she's the only one I've ever got anything back from. She doesn't know I call her that and she will never know as far as I'm concerned cos I really don't want my name associated with her"
"Sorry about that Sam, bringing it up I mean" Amber said
"Shit happens but I didn't get the chance to deal with it as a child you know, and I just don't trust females now, this" he said pointing between her and himself "is surprising the hell out of me"
"Favourite Boyfriend?" he asked changing the subject
"I guess you didn't hear Biggs when he said I was untouched or did you think he meant something else?" Amber said
"God don't tell me I have a virgin sitting on my couch in my apartment this is a first" he said laughing
"Are you laughing at me Mr. Evans?
"I most definitely am not, I'm actually laughing at the irony of all this, I've never brought a girl up here before it's just something I've never done and then for the first one to be as pure as the driven snow, up here on my fucking birthday well that makes me laugh"
"So it's your birthday and you're laughing at me?"
"No I'm just laughing, I had four females on my arm today and tonight, on my birthday, I'm here with Miss untouchable talking about things I've never spoken to anyone about and feeling alright with it, why can't I lie to you?" he asked scratching his head
"I'm not sure but I know I don't want to lie to you either maybe we have a spiritual link or something, happy birthday by the way" Amber said giggling
"Thanks, change of game truth or dare" Sam piped up with
"Truth of course"
"Did you like me the first time you saw me?"
"No" she said "Truth or dare?" she asked
"Dare"
"Okay, I dare you to tell money what you think of her the next time you see her"
"Shit I walked straight into that one I guess, I'll do that for you but where am I going to get my studio time money from in the future?"
"Work for it like everyone else" Amber said letting out a belly laugh that made him stop to watch
"I guess I could do that, for you yeah, I could do that" he said with consideration "Truth or dare?" he asked
"Truth"
"Do you like me now?"
"I wouldn't say like but you're definitely growing on me" she laughed "Truth or dare"
"Truth"
"Did you like me the first time you saw me"
"My first word was 'Wow' and I walked around all day calling you 'Wow' every time I saw you"
"All day? When did you first see me?"
"I saw you this afternoon on 7th Avenue you must have been going to the studio, stopped me in my tracks, all I could say was 'Wow', then I saw you by the shop near the studio, then in the studio"
"And what do you say now?
"Is this part of the Truth game because my part seems to be going on a while?"
"Sorry, have the rules of the game changed for me then, no leading questions?"
"No; I still say Wow" he said smiling from the corner of his mouth delivering his sexy eye look
"So enough with the games then Mr. Evans, let's just tell truths" Amber said getting up picking up the two cups and heading towards the kitchen "Do you mind?" she asked pointing to her cup
"About?"
"Me helping myself to hot chocolate, I'm not leaving any money or planning on giving you any for anything really" she said laughing
"You're fast becoming a genuine friend you get for free, I'm doing a lot of firsts today" he said shyly
"I do believe you're being shy Mr. Evans"
"It's the Mr. Evans stuff making me feel like my Father's watching me although he hasn't for like 8 years now"
"Why is that?" Amber shouted from the kitchen
"What?" Sam asked getting up and heading towards the kitchen, to hear better
"Why don't you!" she shouted before seeing him standing in the doorway "Sorry why don't you speak to your Father?
"He thinks I'm a dick I think he's a prick and we've tended to leave it like that since I was like 19 really"
"That's sad my parents died before I left school in a car accident, well when I was 13 actually, and I had to live with my grandmother I'd love to be able to talk to them sometimes you know, just say shut up and leave me alone, or at least try to say it, my dad would have slapped the black off my ass" she said laughing, making him smile "Don't you have any good time memories with your dad?"
"Yeah I mean they live in Texas on a ranch so we had animals to tend to, and people to take care of, in the holiday homes but I always felt I was competing for their attention you know. When I was little they were struggling to make ends meet so it was work work work and I felt neglected always with the charge hand or other staff leaving me open to all sorts of inappropriate things I mean I went to bars and sat outside or peeped in you know, drugs smoked around me and swearing well, say no more and I suppose I felt the abuse thing which happened as a result was down to their neglect. I rebelled against my Dad in protest I suppose, a why didn't you fucking help me act helps me cope but, he don't know anything and now I don't go there because he still insists on having the bitch as a friend"
"So the abused becomes the abuser is that what I'm hearing?" she asked for clarification
"No I don't abuse people"
"So you don't call sleeping with women and then throwing them to the curb; abuse?"
"Mercy that's not how I see myself" he said hurt by her comment
"It's how those three girls see you Sam, as we're on best friend terms with names"
"Do you think?"
"I know, I'm a woman, you fucked them, lead them on, gave promises, took things from them and then fucked them off you abused them Sam" she said taking another sip of her hot chocolate, if for no other reason to calm herself down before she went orbital on this man
"I guess I did" he said sheepishly "How would you go about making that right?"
"Did you really like any of them?"
"Honestly; no I didn't, I don't, it was sex, food, money or a bed to be honest and, I didn't care if any them were any good at any of those things, I was just wasting time"
"Sam you have a flat here kitted out with everything a bed, even the fridge has something in it so you're not destitute I don't buy that" Mercy said before catching herself "Anyway back on track, I think you need to speak to your parents and get this stuff out in the open. Of course it's been a while since it happened but, it's still the biggest influence on your life and shapes the way you are today. If they start to understand why you are the way you are then relationships will heal" Mercy said "And Sam a woman can tell the heart of a man from his roots so you need your parents on your side if you're ever going to keep a girl, my Grandmother taught me that"
"You are so fast becoming my best friend Mercy, I feel you get me" he said with a smile making her smile which reached her eyes "You have beautiful eyes" he said making her laugh
"That is so not a chat up line, please tell me it was not a chat up line" she said through her laugh
"It was a fact actually" Sam said seriously
"Oh, thank you, yours are not too bad either when you get the lust out of them"
"Are you warming to me are we going to be friends?" he asked teasingly
"Life can be fun don't you think? she answered as he looked at her puzzled "Anyway I have things to do tomorrow starting with finding somewhere to live so I needs my beauty sleep" she said putting her cup in the sink and walking away before returning to wash it up "Grandma just spoke to me" she said as she picked up the cup
"Mighty powerful voice your grandmother" Sam said as he watched her wash the cups and leave them to drain to dry
"I was going to say see you in the morning but, in a few hours if your round"
"I will be and I was thinking about your living conditions and, my lack of money once I make good on my dare, see if you like it tonight but you can have that room, for rent if you want, it comes with the rest of the flat"
"We'll see" Mercy said stepping past him to get to her room
Mercy lay on the bed fully dressed thinking I quite like him, he's got a gentle side to him that no one sees and I want to expose it, yeah he's a dork and that grin of his would have any girls knickers off but I think he could be a valued friend with time and I like the distance from the studio to his house and everything is here, you're not doing much talking yourself out of Miss Mercedes Jones, get to sleep you sassy brute your hormones are all over the place with this guy. You want him don't you Mercy? Do I? fuck yes I do but I so will not bow to this temptation recipe for disaster Miss thing, think it out come on think it out and then get your wet self washed. Remember the weakness of the flesh sermon Grandma told you about get it out and live by it, "Don't you just know the right time to raise your head Grandma, I hear you" she said getting up and going to the bathroom to get washed and ready for bed, noticing that Sam's light wasn't on her heart sunk a bit he didn't even think about me, am I in the friend zone already. She thought to herself as she passed through the living area to the bathroom in the dark
Sam flicked off the kitchen light as Mercy went into her bedroom, what are you doing Evans, spilling your guts to this chick? Don't say that she's a woman, yeah spilling your guts to Mercy at the drop of a hat. You don't even know her she could be a mole put there by those bitch's to get you back. But she's a beautiful mole even if I say so myself, makes me want to go back to church, fuck sake "Behave yourself" he said to his dick as he felt movement, this isn't even like that it's deeper than that, it's real he said rubbing himself, you're gonna get yourself off aren't you Evans? you don't do that any more you have girls for that stop' he thought moving his hand for a while. 'You just fucked them all off tonight and they are not Mercy nothing compares just this once go for it dream of getting in there' he thought rubbing himself again and putting his hand down the front of his trousers, 'you want to fuck her don't you Sam I am, do I?' he asked himself 'fucking right I do but for the right reasons I feel something' he thought as he moved his hand rhythmically back and forth against his trousers, 'What!' His mind shouted at him, as he quickly exploded then suddenly a door opened and he stopped breathing with his dick in his hand, it was Mercy walking through the room 'fuck' he said in his head 'she's right there'. Mercy didn't seem to see him she went straight to the bathroom and he ran to his bedroom before she came out, refusing to turn the light on to make her think he was listening out for her, which of course he was.
Later that morning he woke up, tired but, with a new lease on life he was going to put things straight with the females he'd hurt and start his rehabilitation according to his truths last night. As he walked out into the living in just his boxers he was stunned to hear "Well good morning Sam I am, a bit far for new roomies but hey it was initially your spot so go for it"
"Wow sorry I forgot you were here" he said walking back towards the bedroom and re-emerging seconds later with Sweats on and nothing on top "You found breakfast" he said a little surprised
"I made Breakfast" she said laughingly "Yours is in the oven" she said pointing with her folk towards the kitchen as she sat on the couch eating
"I could get used to this" he said laughing
"Don't"
"I've decided to talk to those girls and set things right today"
"Don't tell me you're going to grovel and get them all back, typical player"
"No I'm going to ask for forgiveness and ask to be friends"
"Are you shitting me" Mercy said stopping eating for that moment
"No; and I'm going to fulfil on my dare and get Rachel told too"
"I didn't mean for you to …"
"Don't give me that bull shit you meant it alright, maybe not for today but you meant it"
"That's what I was going to say, I didn't mean for you to do it all today"
"God I'm finishing your sentence's, creepy" he said making her laugh
"Do you mind me calling you Mercy in public?"
"Not really but I'd prefer only people who know me call me that, so you can call me Amber or M if that makes it easier for you"
"Okay, by the way I had a great time last night I haven't spoken so much about myself in I don't know how long I feel, em invigorated is that the right word?"
"If you feel like you have a new lease on life then yes"
"Yes that's how I feel like today is the first day of the rest of my life" he said smiling "You did that" he said, cocking his head as she looked at him thinking 'isn't he just fucking cute' smiling back at him.
"Did you get a good night's sleep?" he asked her
"Yes I did thanks" she replied, lying as best she could she was not about to tell him she was up half the night nursing a throbbing fanny that was about to make her all but scream out for him to come in that damn room and service her and the other half of the night unable to control her body in her sleep due to wet dreams.
"Did you?" she asked "novelty of being in your own bed for once and all"
"I actually enjoyed my bed so yes I did thanks" he said feeling his manhood rise as he relived the events of the night starting with getting himself off in the living room while she walked through to rolling around his bed all night jerking off and wet dreaming. He looked up from his thoughts to find her looking at him "What?"
"Your face said something different to your mouth and I was just wondering if the spell had broken and you were now able to lie to me" She said not taking her eyes off him
"Actually I was reliving the night"
"Reliving sleeping?"
"Well I'm embarrassed but reliving wet dreaming over you, I was in the chair over there when you came out to go to the bathroom last night with my dick in my hand, praying you wouldn't turn the light on, it didn't stop when I finally got to my room, I've been at it all night bar actually getting off" he said with a red face "I tried lying and you caught me out straight away I have to tell you the truth"
"And I respect that Sam so I'll tell you the truth, I was up most the night nursing my throbbing fanny and when I was sleeping I was wet dreaming about you but, I'm not about to do anything about that, it's kind of natural I think"
"So are you saying we're not attracted to each other then?"
"We can say what we want, but I think our bodies are saying that we are, I'm just not ready to do anything about that right now"
"Because I'm a player?"
"Because I'm into commitment, didn't you listen to anything I said last night?"
"Everything but you never mentioned why you wanted to stay a virgin"
"I don't want to stay a virgin, I just want to be married and settled with love, trust, honesty, communication and all that you know?"
"Okay I hear you, and I'm not ready for that?"
"Hence I'm not going there with you on that"
"No I mean, you think I'm not ready for that?"
"Sam you haven't even gotten rid of your four girlfriends please leave this conversation at the door nothing to discuss"
"Okay, but when I bring it and I'm going to bring it, you better be ready for it, that conversation" he said picking up his hot drink and heading towards his bedroom "I'll be ready in five"
"Shower nasty" she shouted
"Twenty then"
"Okay" she told him "Who are you impressing" she asked thirty minutes later when he emerged from the bedroom dressed a bit smarter than he was the previous day
"You, I'm going to go all out with this truth thing and tell you I think I could love you, I may even be on the way there. I'm not saying this to scare you I just want you to know what's in my head"
"That's fine because I could well, have a thing for you a really big thing, I'm feeling you too Sam Evans"
"Hold that thought" Sam said taking out his phone "Brittany will you meet me at the club later about 7pm I've got to talk to you" then he listened "No it's not that it's well come to the club and you'll see" he made the same call 3 more times to Rachel, Quinn and Santana before looking at Mercy to say "I'm going to prove to you that I think what this is, is big, will you be there tonight, not for show just to be there, I won't spot you up?"
"I'll think about it" she said "Come on we're going to be late" she told him walking towards the door
They got to the studio with minutes to spare "Sam I am, I hope you didn't treat Amber bad" Bigga said as soon as they walked through the door
"He was a perfect gentleman Biggs" Amber replied before Sam could say anything
"Right let's get to business money doesn't make itself" Bigga said shooing Amber to the booth "And Sam get to work yourself, as it's your birthday, I might call you in for a jam with Amber later, I liked that mix last night we might be able to do something with that" he finished as Sam left the room
To say he thought about Mercy for most of the day was an understatement, all day even at break, and he didn't get to see her either, as she was surrounded by some big names all day, went out to lunch with no other than Todrick himself, he was getting fidgety, he'd been asked not to leave until Bigga had seen him. Mercy wasn't having a good day either, she was unusually fidgety herself, it took her a while to figure out it was because she wanted to see Sam, when the door opened around lunch time her heart lifted, realising her thoughts were of Sam she figured she had more than a little thing for him, she was actually missing his company after only one night. Mercy took her phone out and text him 'I'll see you at the club' she felt some release in knowing that she had communicated with him. On hearing the ping he reached for his phone exhaling a big breath when he realised the text was from Mercy "She texted" he said to himself before reading it "Okay" he said as if she was standing in front of him and he smiled to himself I actually feel better for that, he thought.
"Sam" Bigga said as he walked down the hall with Amber in tow much later that day "I have a song come with me" he said spinning him round too fast for him to look at Mercy. "It's different to yesterday's tune I'm testing your two out and I hope I'm right" he said laughing. Once in the studio he put the sheet music in front of them gave them 10 minutes to work out the harmony's and then shouted for the first take on the song.
"Ready?" Sam looked at Mercy asking
"Ready"
"I missed you today" he said in her ear
"Like crazy" she replied before the music started and they started singing "Till the end of time" by B Bozeman & Timothy Bloom he was well into the song before he realised the words were a bit in your face, he looked in Mercy's face singing about wanting to actually impregnate her and her telling him to go ahead and do it.
"Fuck" he said "I didn't read all the words before we sung that sorry" he said turning away from the glass front of the studio with his now every red face
"That worked for me Sam I am" Bigga said through the mic
"Shit I forgot it was a take sorry" he said looking out at the crew in the mixing room
"No problem that's a wrap on the first take you two have something we can sell" Bigga told them "Amber did you find somewhere to live?"
"Yes I did Sam helped with that" she said closing the conversation down "Sam its 6.30pm we need to go" she said grabbing her bag, his hand and leaving the studio as everyone watched
"What's that about?" Bigga asked
"They're in the friend zone" one of the producers shouted back
When they got to the club no one was there yet, of the people Sam had invited anyway, as he stood looking at the clock which eventually said 6.55pm Rachel was the first one to walk in, he went over to greet her and showed her to a table close to the stage. Looking up he saw Quinn, Santana and Brittany all standing in the doorway like a frigging girl band "Ladies thank you for coming" he said sneaking a peek at Mercy sitting at the bar sipping a long drink and looking fierce.
"What the fuck is this Sam" Santana asked looking around the table
"Please just come and sit down and I'll tell you all at the same time please" he said stretching his arm out towards the table Rachel was sitting at. When they got to the seats they stood looking at her until Sam introduced them to her
"Rachel this is Brittany, Quinn and Santana my ex's" Rachel's face dropped as she made to get up "You're no different to them you just didn't know you were an ex too so sit down" Sam said sternly before turning to the other three ladies and beckoning them to sit too. "Okay I brought you all here today because I wanted to say that I'm sorry for the way I treated you all when we were seeing each other in whatever context, I was wrong to treat you like that and I am truly sorry"
"I don't know the truth from a lie with you Sam" Santana said, Brittany and Quinn nodding in agreement
"Let me explain this to you the only way I know how, I think I'm trying to say I hope someday we can be friends but that is all we are ever going to be" he said
"I don't want you back Sam you'll never change" Santana said
"That's fine because I'm not asking any of you to get back with me, I just don't want to end bad, as I said I wanted you to all hear this at the same time, I guess I'm saying I don't want to play with people's feeling any more and I know I did that to you all, I didn't take any of you serious, I'm nothing like the guy you think you know, I just want to say I really am from the heart sorry"
"Very nice Sam so now you're letting go of us?" Quinn asked
"After we sung you a fuck off song?" Brittany added
"I don't think any of you ever knew it but, for lots of reasons I needed you all more than you ever needed me, so I guess I'm telling you I'm sorry basically but yeah we're done, I think I needed to say that out loud"
"I am so fucking over your smart ass, you'll be calling me within the week, we know this so we will be having words about it" Rachel said getting up and pointing to the three girls sitting at the table before grabbing her bag and attempting to walk out.
"Rachel" he shouted after her "wait I need you to understand …."
But she walked off anyway, turning only to say "I hear you but you mark my words" before leaving the building
Santana came up from behind him and grabbed his head by his hair, swinging him round violently "last kiss to say goodbye?" she asked
"No fucking way finished means finished" he said ripping her hand from his hair and stepping back "Sorry but I want a clean break I've stopped, as of today that won't be me" he said shooing them away from him and watching as they walked away. It was only when they were out of sight that he looked at Mercy sitting on the chair with her back to him.
"Hey" he said slowly approaching her
"Don't touch me" she spat at him "that was horrible to watch will that be me in a few weeks?"
"No I promise you it won't, and, I wasn't going to touch you, I don't trust myself like that yet"
"What?" she spinning around on the chair asking
"I don't trust myself to touch you"
"What does that even mean Sam?"
"I won't want to let you go if I touch you, I don't think I'd be able to stop myself from feeling on you"
"You're a hot mess" she said, jumping off the bar stool and walking off
"Where you going?"
"I got to sing tonight" she said pointing to the stage
"So I'm here for the night?"
"Your choice" she said nodding as she got on stage
"This first one is going out to my new friend on their birthday, they know who they are" she said as the music started and he stood watching her and taking the song in, her smile at the end of the song, told him they were on speaking terms again
Mercy went on into the night singing and talking to various people on and off stage, at around midnight she finally took a comfort break and went to use the bathroom in the hall instead of her usual one mainly because she had seen Sam head that way about 30 minutes ago and he hadn't returned as yet. She heard someone laugh loudly, making her aware she was in unfamiliar territory, she griped her purse tighter. As she walked through the crowd she spotted him leaning against the wall talking to a blond headed older woman, making her stand for a while and watch him interacting with the woman. They were in conversation but every now and again the woman would move in on him flirtatiously and he would smile brightly and lap it up. At one point the woman went to brush what might have been hair away from his forehead and he pulled back and removed it himself he was careful not to touch her and she was clearly begging for him to touch her. Another female joined the two of them and he left the two of them to talk, walking away moving further away from the direction Mercy was standing in. She decided to follow him for no reason other than to observe, he went through a small door and down a corridor into another room. When she got to the door she pushed it slightly and slid her ear in to hear him talking to a man
"Dude I flat out told them I don't want anything else to do with them it was scary but necessary"
"So Dude who is she?"
"Who's who?"
"Dude I know you're whipped you don't do things like this she's got to be special"
"Mike she is special, I mean honestly, I look in her eyes and I just can't lie to her I've opened up to her like I don't know so easy and she's fine looking she loves singing, talking and hopefully sex as much as I do"
"What do you mean hopefully as much as you? You haven't tapped that yet"
"Dude it's not about tapping it it's about loving it and yes I used the word I think I'm in love dude I don't want to fuck her I want to make love to her and I want to get all sorts of intimate with her, I feel like she's my soul mate" he said excitedly
"Come on Dude can you hear yourself you're Sam Evans you don't get hooked, I've known you nearly all your adult life something is wrong and you need to get checked out"
"Mike I'm telling you I'm in love I don't believe it myself it wasn't like gradual or anything it was like wow, without even knowing her name, I know this doesn't happen to me and that's all the more reason why I know this is the real deal"
"You won't know that until you've tapped it bro"
"Your conversation is getting tired Bro, I said I don't need to tap it, I'm in love and she wants to wait until she's married and I'm respecting that"
"She's a virgin?" Mike laughed
"Yep"
"That's the attraction then it's the challenge isn't it?"
"No Dude it's my feelings I just hope in time she feels the same about me, and sex for me used to be everything when it was nothing but when I look at her I feel it's not just an action and damn it I want us to be special too, I know I'm getting soppy but she does that to me I really don't care what anyone thinks, I'm whipped"
Mercy had heard enough she let the door quietly close and went back to take her place on the stage "Wow" she said before she started her next song with a bit of a pep in her step from knowing that Sam felt something like she felt about him. Soon after that it was near time to go home, she done her last song and left the stage to find a waiting Sam.
