***I am adding all my stories that I have on Tumblr on so here goes one that some of you may or may not have read. It is not a long story at all but I does dabble into Rachcedes friendship as roommates. It is a samcedes story so if you do not like samcedes I suggest not reading it lol.***
Mercedes shook her head and crossed out the name Brittany S. Pierce and looked up as Rachel leaned on the door closing it.
"God, I can't go thru with another interview, Rachel!" Mercedes whined as she leaned back and watched Rachel walk back over.
"Mercedes, we have made a commitment to find a roommate and we have to see it thru!" She said gleefully. Mercedes couldn't understand how she was enjoying this at all. "Hopefully the next one will have read the ad thoroughly." She said eyeing the names on the sheet.
Mercedes and Rachel had seen about five other candidates that morning. Each one were a wrong suit for the both of them. Mercedes looked at the name of the last candidate and prayed she was good enough.
"Rachel, these people are not reading what we wrote at all." Mercedes said rolling her eyes. "The ad said in bold, NO PETS! I'm allergic to cats and you're allergic to dogs. And she brought in one of the fattest cats ever!"
"Well, in her defense she said that she didn't think he was a cat." Rachel added.
"She requested the cat have it's own room!" Mercedes looked over at Rachel. "My eyes are still watering and not because I couldn't stop laughing!" Mercedes giggled and wiped her eyes as she thought of the crazy things the girl said.
"Well, the one prior wasn't too very nice! She called me hobbit and made fun of my headband." Rachel reminded. Mercedes was almost considering that one because she was funny. Until she started rummaging thru their garbage.
"Thank God again that this last girl is the last one we see today." She smiled and looked at the name. "If we don't accept her we'll have to get second jobs to afford the rent." Mercedes said sadly looking over at Rachel. "I really don't want to sing at that diner. It will cut into my studio time."
"Yeah, I agree! And I need time to study my lines because they've made some crazy changes to the script." She shook her head and looked back at Mercedes. "We should've stayed in Lima, huh?"
"No… Lima has no place for divas like us. We will make New York work for us. And this…" She looked down and read the name again. " Sam Evans girl is going to help us get there!" Mercedes replied trying to be positive. Rachel nodded and smiled getting up as she heard a knock at the door.
"Well… here goes nothing!"
"Here goes everything!" Mercedes corrected and sat up looking straight at the door. Rachel skipped to the door and sang as she opened it.
"Youuuu musssstt beeee Sammmmm uh-" she stopped when she noticed a gorgeous blonde standing at their door. "Um can we help you?" She asked looking back at Mercedes. Sam looked down at a paper in his hand then back at Rachel then behind her at Mercedes.
"I'm Sam Evans, responding to your ad for a roommate!" He replied. Mercedes rolled her eyes and crossed his name off.
"Oh hell to the no! Does anybody read in this city?" She asked stomping over to the front door. As she got closer she noticed that Sam was fine as hell. He looked about 6 feet tall, long blonde hair that he had in a ponytail, a red plaid shirt with a white tee beneath it finishing off with a pair of jeans. She looked at Rachel who was already in flirting mode and shook her head. "No Rachel!" She said snatching her arm. Sam smiled at the two as they argued in a whisper.
"You said we needed the last one!" She whispered.
"That was before I found out SHE was a He!" Mercedes reminded her. She turned to Sam and smiled. "Did you even read the ad?"
"Well yeah!" He said giving her a lopsided smile. "Damn he's fine!" She thought to herself. "Look, I honestly just saw roommate needed and saw the price was great and here I am! I really need this place. Hotel fees are killing me." He admitted. Mercedes looked at him as he pleaded then over at Rachel who was looking at him like one of her veggie wraps she loved so much. "I'm willing to pay six months in advance!"
"Welcome home roomie!" Rachel said jumping into his arms. He laughed and hugged her looking at Mercedes as she shook her head and crossed her arms. "Mercedes! Let's show him his room!"
"This is a bad idea!" Mercedes mumbled as she followed behind and closed the door.
The rest of the week was crazy between the three of them and it was all because of him. Rachel and Mercedes made sure to sit him down and tell him the rules but he'd break each one. Every time he'd break them he'd give them that sexy ass grin of his apologizing.
Even though he spent most of his day working, the time they saw him he was causing havoc. Apparently Sam was a momma's boy and messy as hell. Rachel would clean up after him but Mercedes would tell him about himself. Mercedes hated being the bad guy but she knew Rachel was only doing it because she wanted Sam.
Mercedes was beyond tired of the thirst by the second day that Sam was there. She woke up the next morning cooking breakfast when Sam and Rachel walked in. She turned and rolled her eyes as she cast it upon Sam's sweaty chiseled body and then at Rachel's sports bra and shorts. "Really Rachel?" She thought to herself and turned back to cooking.
"Yeah I run every morning! Gotta keep this body right for my line of work." She heard Sam say. He still hadn't told them what he did.
"Oh we have so much in common!" Rachel added batting her lashes at him as he wiped himself down.
"Mmmm, what's that smell?" He asked sniffing the air and walking over to the kitchen where Mercedes stood over the stove flipping her homemade blueberry pancakes. "Oh my God! That smells just like my mom used to make em back home in Kentucky!" He inhaled then smiled at Mercedes. She giggled and looked over at Rachel who stood with her arms crossed.
"Want some?" Mercedes asked. He smiled and nodded as she pulled out a plate for him."Sausage and eggs too?"he nodded like a kid at a candy store. "Rachel, I know you don't want none since you're vegetarian and all." She smirked and brought over her plate and Sam's to the table.
"No… I'll just have my grapefruit!" She smiled. "Wouldn't want to ruin the workout I got this morning!" She looked over at Sam as he jammed a fork load in his mouth. Mercedes giggled and shook her head as Sam paused and thought about what Rachel was saying.
"I'll just workout more later… this is just really good, Mercedes!" He continued to eat as Rachel sighed and looked at Mercedes.
"So… Mercedes… is Aaron sleeping over tonight?" Rachel asked. Sam paused and looked between the two girls.
"He might!" Mercedes replied before sipping her orange juice.
"That's Mercedes boyfriend!" Rachel added. Sam raised a brow at her and nodded but continued to eat. Mercedes smiled and shook her head. She still hadn't told her boyfriend that a guy moved in. All she told him was the roommates name and let him assume it was a girl.
And then came the biggest problem with having Sam living there. He was always walking around with no shirt on. Mercedes told him he needed to stop that because he was living with girls. Then one day Mercedes and her boyfriend came home with Rachel from one of her shows. They walked bumped right into Sam walking out of the shower with a towel wrapped around him. Both Rachel and Mercedes gazed right at the front of the towel completely forgetting Aaron standing there.
"Whoa I'm sorry! I didn't think any of you guys were home!" He said opening his bedroom door and closing it behind him. Aaron spent the following hour upset with her over it.
"I don't get what the big deal is?" She remembered asking.
"You don't get the big deal? My girlfriend has a guy living right across the hall from her!"
"Okay… and?"
"And you told me it was a girl!"
"No I did not… I simply said Rachel and I have a new roommate named Sam." She reminded him. He laughed and threw his hand up.
"You should have told me instead of having me walk right into him as his ding dong swing right in front of your door!" He shouted.
"Ding dong, really Aaron?" She looked at him. "Look it's not like I planned for him to get the room across from mine." Aaron shook his head and grabbed his coat and stood at her door.
"You're incredible, you know that?" He turned the knob and walked out.
"Aaron it was Rachel's idea… I didn't even want him to be here!" She said walking behind him. He kept walking and left out the front door. Mercedes sighed turning and bumping into Sam. He was dressed up looking really nice and had his hair slicked back. He looked up at her with a frown.
"I'll be back in the morning." He muttered walking past her.
"Sam!" She said behind him feeling like crap. He ignored her as well slamming the door behind him.
He didn't stay mad at her long though as he accompanied her to church that Sunday. Aaron on the other hand was so upset with her. When they got back home Rachel was all over him again till he left.
"Mercedes… do you ever wonder what Sam does for a living?" Rachel asked sitting next to her as Mercedes read her book.
"Nope… it's none of my business!" She lied. She wondered about it all the time. "And it's none of yours either." She reminded her.
"I think we should know. I mean he knows what we do." She added. Mercedes rolled her eyes and continued to read. "I think he's a stripper."
"A stripper? I doubt it! I'd put money on a gigolo though." She replied as she flipped the pages of her book.
"We need to find out!"
"Just ask him."
"I tried and he said it's something the ladies like." Rachel added shaking her head. Mercedes laughed and placed her book down.
"Like I said…gigolo!"
