Mercedes and Sam…let's go…
I've had this idea in my head and just wanted to see where it would take me. I'm still working on my other stories as well, but I'm super excited about this one, so I wanted to get started. I hope you enjoy!
Chapter 1.
Two sets of eyes, one green and one brown stared at the departures screen at the Philadelphia International Airport. Thunderstorms were approaching the area causing most departing flights to be cancelled. Mercedes took a deep sigh and wondered how long it would take for her to get to Nashville. Sam took a deep sigh and wondered how long it would take for him to get home. They looked at their watches walked opposite directions and decided that since it was going to be a night spent at the airport that they might as well get some coffee and magazines while they wait.
"Ladies and gentleman thank you for patiently waiting, Flight 1054 en route to Nashville will begin boarding."
'Thank God' Mercedes said to herself. As she gathered her carryon, Mercedes smiled to herself as she thought about the adventure that awaited her in Nashville. As a senior music education major at Ohio State, she was offered a paid internship to work with at risk students interested in the study of music. Her students will range from 6-12th graders and the program will introduce kids to all kinds of genres of music in and around the Nashville area. Mercedes really did not know much about country music but the desire to learn more about the industry is what lured her to Nashville. The internship will last 6 weeks and have her back at Ohio State in time to start her senior year.
"Do you need help with that miss?" A deep voice from behind fell upon Mercedes ears as she struggled to get her carryon in the compartment above her seat. She turned around and looked straight into a solid chest that was directly in front of her. "Yes, please" Mercedes replied looking up into green eyes that were now staring at her.
"My mom's a munchkin too so I'm kind of use to reaching for anything above 5ft tall." The greens eyes smiled at Mercedes and suddenly she felt butterflies from the top of her head to her little toes. "Your mom's a munchkin, so are you on your way to Oz?" Mercedes asked with a little bit of sass in her tone. "No just Nashville, but I guess you already knew that since we're on the same plane." Mercedes rolled her eyes and looked at her ticket.
"I think that's my seat."
"Really, well what a coincidence, I seem to be sitting right next to you, would you like the window?"
"Yes. That would be great."
"My name is Sam by the way, Sam Evans."
"Mercedes, my
name is Mercedes Jones. It's nice to meet you Sam."
She shook his hand and sat down by the window.
"Mercedes, it's nice to meet you as well." Sam said smiling to himself.
