Mission one- White Chocolate
Sam wanted Mercedes back and he wanted her bad. Yes, she had a non deserving boyfriend who he thinks that doesn't deserver her and knows that she doesn't have any real feelings for. But he respected her wishes… for now. For the past few weeks he's been back, Sam has kept his distance but he has been planning to win Mercedes back- in a big way.
Mercedes favorite treat were tatertots, but her guilty pleasure was White chocolate. Over the summer Sam learned that most stores in Lima didn't carry the rare chocolate outside of Christmas and Valentine's day. For him this was a problem since the confection was a key element in his plan. Sam had been in every single bakery, box store, and conner store in Lima trying to find a single morsel.
"- so when do you usually get your shipment? Mid January? Is there anyway you can get it before then? No, oh okay… well thanks anyway. Bye now"
Sam hung up his phone with a sigh and ran his hand through his hair. "I'm never going to find this damn chocolate…"
"What chocolate?"
Sam looked up at Finn walking over to the fridge. He looked at the clock on the wall and it was close to 4pm. He started his call marathon around 11 this morning.
" I'm trying to get a couple of bars of white chocolate for Mercedes" said Sam closing the phone book.
" Ah the whole 'project win Mercy back', but why white chocolate? Don't tell me your going to try to strip for her?" said Finn across from him.
" No man, she doesn't even know about that… at least not yet" said Sam,
" Mercedes favorite candy is white chocolate, especially the cookies and cream one"
" Is there a connection between that and your stripper name?" asked Finn
"Dude… thats kinda personal…" said Sam uncomfortably
" Sorry…" he said ears turning red.
"yea, so I'm just having a hard time trying to get things perfect" said Sam as he picked up his things from the kitchen table.
"you'll get her back, I know it" said Finn
Mercedes walked down the hall to her locker. It was a packed first half of the day with her more challenging AP classes and no breaks. All she wanted to do was sit in the cafeteria for one or two periods and relax until she has to do to her throw away classes. She spun her lock to her combo, opened her locker and dropped her books into the locker. Only when she turned to touch up her lip gloss in locker mirror did she see it. There was a cluster of Cookies and cream minis in a shape of a heart taped to her locker door. There was also a note under it, replacing her picture of Shane.
"A little birdie told me that you loved these chocolate- S"
Mercedes smiled. She didn't remember ever telling Shane that she liked Hershey's cookies and cream, but extra points for him for finding out. A little voice reminded her that only Sam knew that, but she quickly told herself that he wouldn't know her locker combo- it couldn't be him. " I'll have to give him a little kiss for that" whispered Mercedes as she walked to the lunch room.
When she got to the lunch room, Mercedes spotted Shane straight away sitting at a letterman jacket clad table with his fellow linemen. She also spotted Sam too, his eyes locked on to her once she got on the line. The Blonde smirked at her, giving her a little once over. Mercedes suddenly became really interested in her lunch tray. She didn't want him to see the slow smirk that was forming on her lips. She walked past Sam's table, giving a little wave to the Glee guys with him.
"Looking good Ms. Jones" Sam called out.
Mercedes looked back playfully at him and continued towards Shane.
She placed a hand on his shoulder and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Yea so I charged forward and- oh hey sexy" said Shane turning toward her suddenly, grabbing her hand.
" Thanks for Cookies and cream" said Mercedes smiling at him, " now I have a afternoon treat "
"Hm? What Chocolate? Aren't I enough for you" giving her a look that she guess was suppose to be sexy.
"You didn't leave anything in my locker?" She asked confused, Could it really be Sam who left it?
"you know, I think I must have just left some in my locker and I forgot. Want to get a table?"
"Me and the guys were just gonna talk over some plays before the game today" said Shane, "got to get into game mindset"
"Oh, okay, I'll just eat with the girls today. See you at the game" Mercedes gave him another small smile and headed off to a table full of Glee girls.
If it wasn't Shane leaving chocolates and notes in her locker, It had to be Sam. If this was his way of "fighting to get her back" he's going to try a little harder…
Sam walked down the hall with a bit more spring in his step. He knew Mercedes was starting to notice his little gifts around the school. She gave him a little glance when there was a cookie heart with dark and white chocolate chips in it on her desk a long with another note. He tried to keep his face as neutral as possible, but broke out in a grin when she turned back to their teacher. Sam has been leaving all the gifts himself ( it was hell trying to get her locker combo),but the last one he had to get some help.
"Hey, your Sugar right?" said Sam leaning on the lockers. Sugar peaked out behind her locker door a little surprised.
"Oh, Trouty mouth! Whats up?" said Sugar.
Sam's face fell a bit, " My name is Sam…"
"Oh! I'm sorry! I guess I've been around Santana too long" said Sugar
" Yea… Can I ask you a favor? Your pretty close to Mercedes right?"
" Yea! Mama Mercy has always been very nice to me in the Troubletones" beamed Sugar
" Can you give her this note for me? Give it to her during Glee club, but don't tell her you got it from me okay?" said Sam handing her an envelope.
" Okay! Mercy has been very popular today, she's been getting so many gifts" said Sugar slipping the envelope in her notebook " is this from the same person?"
Sam gave her a confused look, Not too bright is she?
" Uh, I don't know. I'm just a messenger" said Sam with a shrug, " Thanks Sugar, see you later"
Later on in the day, Sam walked into the music and took a seat behind Mercedes and Sugar.
" Hello ladies" said Sam
"Hi Sam" they chorused.
"Oh! That reminds me! I have something for you Mercy" said Sugar going into her bag and pulled out an envelope, "for you"
"What's this?" asked Mercedes, looking at it skeptically
"I don't know you should open it, I wanna see what it says" said Sugar scooting her chair closer to Mercedes'. With a little chuckle at Sugar she opened it and pulled out the piece of paper. Sam watched her closely, trying to see her reaction but only saw her fold the paper back up quickly.
"Well what did is say?" asked Sugar. Before Mercedes could say anything Mr. Shue came in and started the club.
Mercedes sat in the stands cheering on the McKinley Titians for their first game of the year. She was elated at the fact that they were on there way to the playoffs thanks to her boyfriend Shane "The Bulldozer" Tinsley. She would blow kisses over to him when he would point in her direction after each sickening impact. Things were good, but for some reason she couldn't help but think about the note she got at glee club.
Meet me at the auditorium at half time. I'll be waiting.- S
She watched as the clock ticked down to end the second quarter. Should she even go? She knew this "secret admirer " was Sam, what knew would he have to say? How many times does she have to say that she has a boyfriend and that she's happy- well, happyish….Mercedes headed down the stands to the field to see if she could at least see Shane for a bit.
"Babe!" shouted Mercedes over the band's half time show.
"Hey sexy, you saw me out there?" said Shane taking off his helmet
"Yea, amazing as usual. You're a monster out there" she grinned, " So what we're going to do after the game?"
"Since we are going to win, Breadstix of course" said Shane, "probably just going to be the team though"
"Oh, okay" said Mercedes, " I thought we could celebrate together"
" You can come with Diva, you know that" said Shane, reaching for her hand
She gave Shane a smile that felt more like a grimace, "I'll see how I feel after the game"
Mercedes walked into the auditorium, but no one was there except for Brad the piano man on the stage. She walked over to the stage and stood in the center. Right when she was about to ask Brad whats going on, he started to play a melody on the piano. Then a guitar and a voice she couldn't mistake
I was wrong, I was wrong
Thinking my hear can be my own
I was strong , I was strong
When I had a reason to hold on
Let me fall, Let me fall for you…
Let me fall for you…
Sam walked out from the backstage curtains with his guitar in hand along with Finn. She didn't recognize the song at all but it was so perfect for his voice and he sung with such feeling. He circled around her as he went through the chorus and stopped in front of her his eyes blazing. She could help but feel her hear skip a beat when he sung "All the time all the time you where the one who got me through". By the end of the song Sam stopped playing and just sang
Let me fall like a stone in the water
Let me crash like a plane out of the sky
Let me crash let me burn my heart out
Let me learn to fly
Sam just stood there looking at her expectingly, waiting for any words from her.
"Sam… I- I can't"
Read and Review please! Also the song that Sam sings to Mercedes is "Let me Fall for You" by David Cook.
