Was all Mercedes could hear while laying in bed. She'd been tossing and turning for the past hour attempting to get some rest for work but her rude neighbor and his 'guest' made it impossible for her to do so. It's been two months exactly since moving in to her new apartment and two months that she's been putting up with the nightly sound of a headboard hitting the opposite side of her bedroom wall. "Some of us has to fucking work in the morning!" Mercedes yelled at the top of her lungs. Mercedes knew there was no real point in doing so because they couldn't hear her and if they could they would just ignore the request anyway but she was desperate for some peace and quiet eventually she became so frustrated she opted for a night's rest on the couch in the living room although she could still hear the banging it would be more faint and tolerable. While laying on the couch she was brainstorming ways to get her neighbor to quiet down. She's tried everything from drowning out the sound with music to leaving a friendly note under his door asking him to keep the noise at a minimal to reporting him to the management nothing had worked and it even became worse after the note and the complaint to the manager. Aside from being annoyed with her rude neighbor she had to admit she was a bit impressed and turned on that the man next door seemed to have great stamina and put in lot's of work. Although she never actually seen the man she imagined he would have to be very desirable giving the variety of women she's witnessed come and go from his apartment in the past couple of months she's been here. Lucky bitches. She mumbled to herself before turning her body and throwing the pillows over her head in hopes of getting some sleep.

The next morning Mercedes was awaken by the sound of her phone ringing. She let out a groan while fumbling out of the bed making her way to the bathroom where her phone was.

Mercedes groggily answered . "H-hello" She debated on just hanging up and going back to bed but that quickly flew out of her mind when she heard the person on the other end yelling at her.

" Mercedes Janelle Jones what the hell are you still doing in bed! Did you forget we have a meeting with Mrs. Dorsey at two today? Are you trying to make me grow grey hair? I'm only 24 I don't need grey hair Mercedes I will kill you do you understand? Get your ass down here now! " Shit. Mercedes cursed under her breath while glancing over at the clock seeing she only had 45 minutes to get ready and make it to the meeting.

" Kurt please calm down I don't wanna have to slap you for talking to me crazy it slipped my mind okay I'm sorry. I had a horrible night. You know I live next to a damn jack rabbit just get to the meeting and I'll see you there I promise." She said while rummaging through her closet to looking for something to wear.

" Fine. Don't forget to bring the swatch book for the walls and tile in her foyer. She is obsessed with that being the first thing we do and the last thing we need is her trying to find another company to go through. I gotta go see you there."

" I got it Kurt don't worry bye." Ending the call she quickly threw her phone on the bed and ran in to the shower once out she threw on her outfit for the day. A black button down blouse paired with a form-fitting white pencil skirt with a black stripe going down her thigh and red pumps completing the look with subtle make-up and loose waves. Giving herself a once over in the mirror she nodded in agreement with her look of the day before heading out to the meeting.

Kurt and Mercedes had started their interior design business fresh out of college just as they had planned back in their high school days although it was not their first choice. Originally they wanted to pursue careers in music and theater but after Kurt was rejected by NYADA and Mercedes only being offered a development deal instead of the recording contract she was hoping for, they opted for their back up plan. After attending Syracuse University both majored in business and interior design shortly after graduating they created their business 'Interior Passions' along with Kurt's dad Burt Hummel who was a silent funding partner and Kitty Wilde who was Mercedes' sassy smart mouthed roommate back in college that was also majoring in interior design.

The door's to the elevator were closing when Mercedes heard a woman yelling for someone to hold them open. Mercedes quickly pushed the red stop button in the elevator for the woman completely forgetting she was pressed for time.

" Oh... my gosh...thank - thank you so much." The woman panted while trying to get her words out. Mercedes just stood there nodding with a confused look on her face. " Really- Thank you I'm late for work and these elevator's are awfully slow coming back up." She finished while pushing the button for the lobby not noticing it was already selected.

" No problem. Actually now that I think about it I probably just made myself late for work my partner is gonna kill me!" She said remembering the words Kurt had said earlier while looking at the time on her phone realizing she had 10 minutes to make it to her destination. " My name is Mercedes by the way. You new to the building?"

" Nice to meet you Mercedes i'm Penny and no actually I don't live here but a um ... a good friend of mine does. It was nice meeting you and thanks again." The woman said as she was walking out of the elevator.

Mercedes couldn't help but notice her walking over to hug a tall white man with piercing emerald green eyes and dirty blonde hair dressed in a tailored to perfection suit. She knew she was staring with her mouth open but Mercedes honestly couldn't care less the man was beautiful couldn't be no more than 25 years old she couldn't help but wonder if that was the 'friend' Penny was referring to in the elevator. Snapping out of her trance she looked at the clock in the lobby and realized she was late she quickly adjusted her purse on her shoulder while speed walking past the hugging couple.

Finally making it to Mrs. Dorsey's house Mercedes sighed in relief when she noticed that it was just her and Kurt's car in the driveway. She continued to the backyard where Kurt was.

" Took you long enough your lucky she isn't here yet! So what happened to you this morning?" Kurt said while looking at his fingernails.

" I told you. I live next door to a jack rabbit. I went through the whole night hearing the sound of his headboard hitting my wall , just like I do every night since moving in to that apartment. I'm seriously thinking about moving I've tried everything to get him to stop ...or at least quiet it down and nothing work's I give up." Mercedes vented while pacing back and forth then taking a seat next to Kurt looking at the small pond in the backyard.

" I'm not going to let you just give up your apartment because of a sex craved asshole. We'll find a way to get him to stop even if that means going over there banging on the door making a fool out of myself no one is going to drive my bestie out of her home... So changing the subject to something more heureux... I met someone!" Kurt said while clapping his hands with a cheesy grin. " His name is Blaine! He sings, acts, wear's bow ties, loves Broadway and has a very strange but amusing fascination with puppets... Also his eye's oh god Mercedes his eye's." He gushed while looking up dreamily holding his hands over his heart.

Mercedes giggled."I'm so happy for you! When did this happen? When can I meet him?"

" I met him last month. I was going for coffee we talked for a bit exchanged number's and then the rest was as they say histoire! You'll meet him next week at my party ... Oh that's right I didn't tell you! I'm having a party. Santana, Britt, Tina and Mike are coming to visit from L.A... And um let's see.. Puck, Quinn, Artie and Sugar are coming in from Lima and dare I say Ms. Rachel Berry and Jesse are coming too." Kurt said while looking over to Mercedes to see her reaction to the mention of Rachel's name. She and Rachel never really got along but were on mutual ground. That changed after Brittany's graduation party and Mercedes' announcement to her friend's that she was only offered a development deal and not a recording contract. To everyone's surprise Rachel began laughing at he new's and before she could apologize to Mercedes' for finding humor in her supposed failure Santana went over and slapped her.

The smile quickly fell from Mercedes' face as she looked at her hand's then back at Kurt. " Is there something I missed? Who's birthday is it? Why is everyone coming? " She said trying to avoid the gut feeling she had. Mercedes knew why everyone was coming. They were coming to see her. Her opening night is next week.

Fiddling with his finger's he reluctantly answered his friend. " Look Mercedes. He started. " We all said we would be there for each other. We're family. All of us. And just like a family we have some relatives that are selfish and cold hearted... Hm...Actually there's only one." Kurt trailed off he was now the one pacing back and forth.

" Spit it out Kurt." Mercedes said in harsh tone.

" Rachelsopeningnightforfunnygirlisnextweek!" He said sighing in relief. "We all promised Mercedes including you."

She saw Kurt's point. It was true and as much as she wanted to be mad at Kurt she couldn't be. He was doing what he was best at. Being a good friend. " I know Kurt. Even though I can't stand the troll I did make a promise to everyone in that club so I will be there."

45 minutes had passed and Mercedes and Kurt began to wonder if Mrs. Dorsey was going to show for the meeting they tried calling and texting but she didn't respond. Leaving a note behind Mercedes and Kurt began to gather their thing's to leave just as they heard the gate to the back yard close.

"So sorry for my tardiness. Botox ran a little longer than expected."

Kurt muffled a laugh while Mercedes let out a huff as they once again took their seat's to begin work.

Later that Night..

" So in the lobby this morning I seen this cute guy ... Shit I'm lying. He was a down right sin to look at Kurt! I stood there like a idiot staring at him mouth open and all. Everything about him was gorgeous... His eye's his lips and oh my god if you was there to see him in the suit he had on this Blaine guy you're dating would be totally irrelevant!" Mercedes said while twirling the spaghetti around her fork. She and Kurt would have alternating month's where they would go to each others house for dinner and girl talk this month it was her turn.

" I highly doubt I would leave my Blaine for this guy he's the total package wait til' you see him. But why didn't you use you feminine wiles to lure him in and you know what I'm talking about so don't try denying anything . That little flirty smile you give a guy when your interested and then u just so happen need to walk past him while adjusting your boobs in whatever tempting top you're wearing. It's your signature move." He said while giving her a sly smile.

She let out a laugh at Kurt's truth." Well I might have , had I been given the chance! He was hugging this girl Penny that I met on the elevator on my way down to the lobby this morning. They looked happy. Beside's I doubt I'll see him again she doesn't stay in the building and he probably was just here to pick her up or something."

Thud...

Thud...

THUD...

" Oh my god!What the hell is that?!" Kurt said while frantically getting up to look around Mercedes' apartment.

" Oh that? Yeah Kurt meet my neighbor headboard." She said chuckling. " I told you! it never fails. You thought I was exaggerating it's THAT bad!"

" This is friggin ridiculous Mercedes! You can't just let this guy do this! It's rude, it's disgusting...and a bit sexy actually..er uh I mean...Why haven't you talked to this guy like actually talked to him not through a damn note? And how on earth do you live here for two months and not set eye's on a person you live next to?"

" I've tried and he's never there beside what the hell am I going to say? ' Excuse me neighbor I never met. I'm trying to sleep so I would appreciate it if you could please chill on the fucking or you know at least move your bed to another wall. Yeah? Okay thank you it was nice finally meeting you!' " Mercedes said sarcastically.

" PERFECT! Now let's go tell him."

Kurt grabbed Mercedes hand and pulled her to the door. Mercedes was dressed in her pajamas and still had her fork in her other hand. She tugged her hand free of Kurt's and began walking back over to her sofa.

"Your crazy! I'm not about to go over to that man's house in my pajamas and I'm not going while he's having sex! It can wait."

" Mercedes Jones if you don't get your pretty little ass over here I will literally drag you! I may look scrawny but I take kick boxing and fencing classes i'm stronger than you think don't test me! All you've done is put this off I'm here now so we are doing this tonight so get your ass up and let's go!"

Once again taking Mercedes' hand in his he dragged her to the door and walked with her over to the mans apartment.

"This is crazy Kurt! Let's just go back and finish our dinner and talk about the plans for this party of yours." She said while trying to pull Kurt in the opposite direction.

" If you don't want to say anything to him then don't , but i'll be damned if I let you go to bed like this again."

Before she knew it Kurt was banging on her neighbor's door.

"Hi my friend lives nex- OH..MY..GOD!" Kurt said with a raised eyebrow and his head cocked to the side.

The man looked at them smiling while taking notice of Mercedes." Hello" He said shifting his eye's between the two."I think I seen your friend earlier in the lobby actually. You looked absolutely delicious in that outfit this morning." He said giving Mercedes a devilish smile that made her melt.

Mercedes felt as if she wanted to faint. Her face was hot and she felt herself shaking a bit. Nothing prepared her for this! Nothing prepared her for the reveal that her neighbor was the sexy man from earlier as much as she wanted to jump on him she kept her composure while looking at him. Oh god this is going to be hard. She thought to herself.

"She ..um..we um we w-wa-was wondering if you c-could uh. Damn." A stuttering and very red-faced Kurt looked over to Mercedes and mouthed 'take me now'.

The man was leaned on the door frame crossed armed with a smuggish grin waiting for someone to speak.

Mercedes shook her head and huffed preparing herself to speak. Kurt was clearly too taken by the vision of the man standing before him. " What my friend here is trying to say is that I live next door to you have been for the past two month's and since being here I can't sleep and it's just getting ridiculous so I would appreciate it if you could quiet it down a bit." She said relieved she told him the right thing instead of thought's that were currently running through her mind.

"Quiet what down?" The man said while pushing himself off the door frame.

"EXCUSE ME WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN QUIET 'WHAT' DOWN?" Mercedes was mad and confused as to why the man was pretending not to know what he's been doing." YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING AND I'D BE DAMNED IF YOU THINK I'M GOING TO JUST STAND HERE AND BELIEVE THAT YOU DON'T!"

The man let out a chuckle and walked into Mercedes' personal space. While Kurt stood by licking his lips, still staring and red-faced.

He looked down at Mercedes and bit his lip while inching a bit closer to her, almost touching body to body." Look darlin' I don't know what you're talking about but if you'd like your more than welcome to come inside and demonstrate what you've been hearing." He said looking directly into Mercedes' big brown eyes.

Mercedes felt her panties begin to moisten as she heard his word's and his southern drawl. Had she been a little lighter he would have been faced with a noticeably blushing Mercedes. Attempting to keep her composer she cleared throat and pushed the man away. That alone was a mistake she could feel his firm abs through the t-shirt he was wearing. " Look 'darlin' I don't know who in the hell you think you are but I can assure you that won't be happening and as I was saying please can you and your company keep it down.. I work morning's and I can't take this anymore!" She didn't allow herself to look in to his green eye's instead she looked at Kurt while speaking.

" It's a shame you won't demonstrate for me but that's fine. Please call me Sam. My company and I will attempt to be quiet but I can't make any promises . Also I know you work morning's I heard you scream it last night. May I say you sound lovely screaming. Wonder what you would sound like putting a name to it?" Sam said licking his bottom lip.

" Your sick! " Mercedes scoffed. "Don't talk to me like that! You don't know me and at the rate your going you never will! Like I said tone it the fuck down that's all I came here to say. You have a nice night perv!" She finished while pulling a dazed and flirtatiously waving Kurt back to her apartment.

Before opening the door she heard Sam slightly yelling from his door. " Aw what no name to go with your pretty face? No worries I'll see you again soon number 308." With that Sam smiled and closed his door.

Mercedes was cursing up a storm she was raging with anger at Sam's bold and cocky attitude it made everything about him become ugly.Not everything.She thought before shaking her head at herself she was disgusted at herself for being attracted to someone like that. Looking in to the living room she realized Kurt was no longer there. Searching around her apartment for Kurt she entered her bedroom and heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom realizing he was taking a assumed it was a cold one.

She was making her way back to the living to clean up when she heard it louder than ever.

THUD...

THUD...

THUD..

"Fucking asshole!" She yelled at the wall while walking over to her stereo.
