"Mercedes?" Sam said in the packed market. It had almost been three years since they broke up and he had no idea that she still lived around here "How are you"
Mercedes started at the stranger and wondered where and how she knew him. His green eyes were a weakness. Like maybe in a past life or something those green eyes once made her happy. Maybe he once made her happy. "Um…Hi… I am good… Have we met?" Mercedes stammered out.
"Oh my god I forgot." Sam remember how Mercedes had this memory thing where she could on see the future up until something happen and then forgot it. As well as the past. She didn't remember him. How they met when they dated when they were happy sad. Anything Mercedes forgot it all. That also means him and now he had to reintroduce himself to his soul mate. "Ahem. Hello Miss Jones I am Sam Evans your ex-boyfriend. "
Mercedes was taken aback. She never read anything in her notes about how she dated one of the hottest guys in New York why did they break up she wondered. He has this charm about him he was so much taller but he seemed so gentle so lovable. She felt butterflies and her heart started to beat faster. "Now Sam why did we break up?"
"My company made me work more hours-I own a very successful comic book company we're like just as good as dc and marvel if not better. But you hated that I was gone so you ended it. And left all of your books of me in our old condo. Not to seem weird but I – I still have them just in case you want to read them. But I'll understand if you wouldn't want to."
"I'd love to see them. I'd really like to know why I would leave you. You're like perfect" Mercedes blushed she completely should have not said that Sam flashed this smile that made her weak. This must have been what it was like when they met.
"I really missed you cedes and I'll do whatever it takes to get you back."
"When can I see those books?"
"I'm free tonight if you—"
"Great but um I don't know how to get there."
"I know where you live-I don't stalk you it's just you moved in to Tina and Mike's old condo so I know how to get there. I'll see you around seven okay?"
"Okay bye Sam" She smiled as he walked off. She got to see him again. And she liked the way that he made her feel.
She pulled out her phone and called Santana her best friend as she finished up in the market
"Wheezy, long time no speak" Her bitchy best friend stated
"Yeah you to Satan but you'd never guess who I just s-"
"Sam"
"How did-"
"Tina"
"How did she-"
"Mike"
"How did he-"
"Sam"
"Oh well then you know that-"
"He's going over your house tonight. Yup"
"How did they tell you so fast?"
"Well you know that the ND we will always be a tight group so as soon as Sam called Mike, he told Tina and Tina well she and mike group called the rest of the group to tell them and I hung up when you called me."
"So did they tell you how I'm starting to like him? Again. I guess but I don't remember the first time."
"No but I am sending out a group text to everyone."
"SANTANA don't you dare."
"Already did. It won't matter they would find out anyways. And plus Sam slowed down his work hours he's been waiting hoping that he would see you again. Well at least where he could tell the truth. Sam changed himself so many times to be around you just in case you could see that he was Sam. He did really good at it. You'd always fall for him and at the end of the night he would be gone when you tried to find him to get his number or something. He wanted even for one night you to feel the way he did about you. He never gave up and I'm sure that he won't either. He loves a girl who can't remember him from her past and can't see him in her future. He's the only person cedes. Like your brain must've wanted that feeling he gave you every time you saw him. The only thing is he always had that feeling for you. "
"I really gave that up? How many times have I seen him in the past since we broke up?"
"You met him at least once every week in the past three years."
"WHY THE HELL DIDN'T HE TELL ME HE WAS SAM?"
"He said that today was different he knew that he could have walked away from you today until next week he had to get you back. He wants you back cedes"
"I have a lot of stuff from the market that I have to bring upstairs so I'll call you back okay?"
"I'll be right down to help you out-you need to stop forgetting that I live three condo's down from you same building."
Mercedes started grabbing bags when Santana and Brittany walked down stairs in there matching born this way t-shirts they made in high school and shorts. They made a cute couple she thought as she slid her foot back into her flip flop. It was a nice summer day. No more than about 85 with the lightest breeze. She got to wear her fav purple tank and black shorts it was her best and cutest summer outfit. And plus her shoulder length hair fell perfectly to her shoulders with these light waves that made her feel really pretty.
"Cedes!" Brittany said super happy like normal
"Hey brit how are you?"
"I'm amazing. Me and Santana picked a date for our wedding. August 24!"
"Oh my god I am so happy for you guys! But Santana why didn't you tell me when we were on the phone?"
"Because wheezy this is news you say face to face" She said walking back in the house putting bags on the counter.
"Okay so snixs go away because I want to talk to Santana"
Brittany giggled as she started putting stuff away "Sometimes when I'm hungry I eat goldfish food."
Both girls just looked at her. After two minutes Mercedes broke the silence with "But you guys don't have a goldfish."
"But the food is really good and then I feel all happy inside"
"Come on britts lets go play that fun game lets wash our mouth out. With soap." Santana said
Mercedes fought back a laugh. She loved being around them all them all the time. Brittany brought out the good in Santana and Santana tried to bring the smart side in Brittany. At least one of them did theirs jobs well.
"Okay but if I win what do I get?"
Santana whispered in her ear and Brittany giggled "Okay deal" they ran out of the house and screamed bye over their shoulders.
Mercedes had any hour before Sam came over and she wanted to make some food for them. So she called Tina.
"Cedes!" Tina screamed "How are you are you ready for the date I heard that you're starting to like him again hold on I'm putting you on speaker mike wants to hear this to"
"I'm good. I don't think it's a date but then again I don't really remember dates… Yes I like him again. Oh Santana and Brittany picked a date for the wedding."
"It's a date and YAY you like him and oh my god really!"
"Yup but I have to ask you something I wanted to cooked dinner for Sam what's his favorite meal?"
"He may or may not be taking you out for dinner as well but you know you didn't hear anything from me" Mike said
"Hunny you weren't supposed to tell." Tina said
"Like you told everyone how Sam finally made the move"
"Well that had to be shared we've been waiting for three years. We were about to force it if he didn't. I did the club a favor"
Tina & mike were the group's first marriage with Finn& Rachel second and Puck& Quinn and Rory & sugar tied for third.
An hour passed and Mercedes was re-reading any notes for signs that Sam came around any time before today when the doorbell rang. Mercedes walked to the door breathed and opened the door.
"Hey Sam" She said sounded like an awkward 16 year old
"Hey cedes" Sam said smoothly while holding a box she let him in and he set the box down on the table.
"Hey" She said trying to open the box
"Wait. I have an idea before you open the box. A plan rather."
"Wow you're going to make me sleep with you so I can read how much a douche you really are"
"No why the fuck would I do that. And besides that doesn't happen in the book until at least the third one."
"Wait what?"
"I was going to say that as things happen in the book that's how we'll do it in real life. Like I read the first book and the first page was about our first date. And I started thinking about how reading it would suck but re-living it. Well that would make all the feelings come back. I understand if you'd rather read everything."
"How will I know that you didn't make me do something that we didn't do the first time?"
"I'll let you read the books at the end of night. That way you know that everything I did happen not because I was trying to get into bed with you or something."
"Well can we go on our first date?"
"I thought you'd never ask"
