Welcome. Thanks to Ms. Zee for helping me out last minute. Please excuse any mistakes.


As Mercedes packed the last of Sam's things memories of their life together came back to her in waves of emotions. She thought Sam was it for her, Sam was it. She was no longer going to be alone. Looking around their home they'd shared for the past two years, it seemed pretty empty without Sam's' thing in it to make it complete. Closing the last box, Mercedes let out a shaky breath and started to cry. Tina had asked her if she need help packing his things but it was something she needed to do herself. She promise herself she wouldn't cry but she couldn't help it she had loved Sam so much and still did.

Flashback

Mercedes met Sam her junior year in college, she was roommates with Tina and Sam was Tina and Mike's best friend. Sam, Tina and Mike had known each other since their junior year in high school.

Mike and Sam were helping Tina move into her and Mercedes room when they all met.

"Hi, you must be Mercedes Jones my name is Tina Cohen Chang, I am your roommate." sticking out her hand to Mercedes.

Mercedes turned from her closet with a bright smile and walked over to Tina to shake her hand, "Hi, yes I am. Nice to meet you finally."

When Mercedes turned around, Sam was looking at her and could not take his eyes off her. He thought she was gorgeous.

"This handsome fellow here is my boyfriend Mike Chang." Tina said pushing Mike toward Mercedes so he could shake her hand.

Mercedes shook Mike's hand, "Hello, nice to meet you Mike."

Mike smiled, "Nice to meet you too."

"And this here is Sam, Mike and my best friend." Tina said.

Still holding the box he brought in Sam didn't hear Tina introduce him he was memorize by Mercedes' beauty.

Tina looked at Mike, they both huge grins on their faces. Mike just shrugged his shoulder.

Tina cleared her throat and spoke a little louder "Sam, Sam." she giggled. She turned to Mercedes, "This is Sam our very single, ready to mingle, who has a tingle in his pant! Sam Evans, who is on the swim team, football player and is majoring in computer animation and minoring in business. He want to have his own comic book out by time he graduate college." Tina was trying to sell Sam and hoping Mercedes was single.

Sitting down the box he was holding Sam reached out to shake Mercedes hand. Sam looked Mercedes into her eyes and said "Uh, hi." That was all Sam could manage to say with a goofy grin on his face.

Mercedes shyly took his hand, "Nice to meet you Sam."

Sam was still shaking Mercedes hand with a grin on his face.

Mercedes look to Tina and then to their hands. Tina quickly jumped up and pulled Mercedes' hand out of Sam's.

Mercedes look at Tina and whisper, "Thank you."

Mike and Sam left and Tina and Mercedes were alone in their dorm room. "So Mercedes are you dating anyone." Tina asked not holding back after guys left. She was determined to hook Sam up on a date with Mercedes.

"No, I just broke up with my high school sweetheart a month ago. Why?" she asked with a smirk on her face knowing what Tina was about to say.

"Cause my friend Sam is already crushing on you." Tina said with a little giggle.

"Really." Mercedes said with a raised eyebrow. "What makes think he is crushing on me? He only said two words to me and one really wasn't a word." Mercedes said trying to get a feel for Tina, to see if Tina was as straight forward as she presented herself to be.

"Girl, Sam Evans is never at a loss for words, did you not see how he couldn't take his eyes off you. Sam has girls throwing themselves at him and he doesn't even flinch, but with you the man is a mess."

That was Mercedes first encounter with Sam Evans.

End of Flashback

Moving the last box into the garage so they could be picked up the next day. Mercedes felt like she was closing the door to her life when she closed the door to her garage.

When Sam left for the store that day she never imaged how much her life would change and that she would lose Sam the way she did. She thought Sam would always be with her and they would grow old together.

Fighting back the tears Mercedes entered her home looking around once again to see how bare it was without Sam presence there, it felt like a house not a home, it wasn't a home anymore.

Flashback

Sam and Mercedes have been dating two years. They were officially dating one month after meeting each other. They were madly in love.

"Sam I found us the perfect house!" Mercedes said as she ran though their apartment they shared with Tina and Mike.

Laughing at her excitement, Sam smiled, "Calm down My Sweet Sadie, where did you find it at?"

"Two blocks from your parents' house just past Jefferson Dr. on Whispering Willow Ct. a lovely home that sits on a an acre and has a huge storage area that we can make into our studios." she said with pure excitement.

"Alright! When can we go and see it." he asked getting excited with her.

"Right now, I was too excited to wait so I told the realtor I will be right back with you. We have about 15 minutes before she has to leave, come on." She said jumping up and down. Sam eyes were following her chest as it bounced and he said, "If you keep getting this excited about it I'll buy you anything you want."

Mercedes eye followed his and she adjusted her breasts in her bra and then slapped him on his arm saying, "Stop being silly, let's go!" she was excited and ready to go.

Sam thought the house was perfect for them to grow and start a family and the storage room was big enough for their dream studios. Big enough for Mercedes a recordings one and still big enough for him to have room to work on his comics with a small pressing machine. "Yup! This is the place for us." Sam said as he was hugging Mercedes.

End of Back Flash

Mercedes didn't know what she was going to do about the company she and Sam built together. They had a small fast growing business together, "Evans Adventures". A personalized comic book for children. They got the idea together when Steve and Stacey pulled out all of their comics that Sam has written for them over the years and was telling Mercedes how popular they were at school. How all the kids wanted a comic of their own and how everyone read them? That was how "Evans Adventures" was started, a comic book that catered to the individual. They pick though sets of scenery, adventures and send in a picture of themselves and a friend or sibling and Evan adventure create their stories in a set comic book form. It had children reading at many different levels. Their company won 3 different prestige awards for literacy their first year out. Sam and Mercedes and their families couldn't be prouder of them.

Mercedes thought that she would discuss the detail with Sam's parents later but she would keep it running as long as she could. It was Sam's dream and she wanted to keep it alive as long as she could, hopefully with the Evans help and approval.

Mercedes started out doing voice overs and singing for commercials and cartoons. Sam had done illustrations for different cartoons then eventually his own comics. They could work at home and spend a lot of time together which they loved. They made their own hours, as long as they met their deadlines there were no problems. Life was good for Sam and Mercedes.

Exhausted from her day of packing Mercedes only wanted to take a long hot shower and go to bed.

Walking in to her bedroom Mercedes noticed her engagement ring sitting on her dresser and let out a long sad sigh. "No more crying!" she said frustrated with herself and took the ring, stuffing it in her dresser drawer.

Flashback

On a Saturday about six months ago Sam left Mercedes a note saying, "My Sweet Sadie meet me for breakfast at our favorite breakfast shoppe. Much Love, Your Super Sammy." With a smile on her face Mercedes rushed and took a shower to meet her Super Sammy at Justins' Bagel Shoppe for breakfast.

45 min later she is looking for Sam and asked the clerk Jules, "Have you seen Sam today?" Jules nodded, "Oh yes he told me he had to go and to give you this."

Jules handed Mercedes a letter. Mercedes opened it and read the letter. "My Sweet Sadie, I am sorry I missed you, but I need you to go to this address and present them with this card. No question please, do this for me." Mercedes pick up her cell phone to call Sam but Tina came through the door at the same time she was going to call Sam.

"Don't you dare call Sam!" Tina said forcefully.

Mercedes turn around, "Why not!? And how do you know I was calling Sam?" Mercedes looked confused trying to figure out what Sam is up to.

"Sam said you where stressed out and you needed to relax. He and Mike are trying hard to do something nice for us and he sent me here to make sure you do it and relax." Tina said with a matter of fact stance.

"O-okay?" Mercedes said, "I just don't understand why he left me here when he said to meet him here."

"Stop questioning everything and just enjoy yourself okay." Tina said as she is pulling Mercedes out the door.

Tina drove Mercedes to her next location and parked the car. Tina and Mercedes got out of the car.

"Something isn't right this is a hotel." Mercedes said wondering why she was at a hotel.

"Just come on. Where is the card Sam gave you?" Tina said walking up to the front doors.

"Right here. Where do we take it?" said Mercedes

"Over there." As Tina was pointing to the front desk.

Mercedes walk to the front desk and handed the clerk the card. "Hi my boyfriend ga-" Mercedes was interrupted as the clerk nods her head and hands her a key card and said "Ah yes Miss Jones everything is waiting on you and your friend. Your room number is #772. Thank you Miss Jones enjoy your stay.

"Thank you." Tina said as she grabbed Mercedes hand and guided her to the elevator. Mercedes felt like she was being pulled and pushed all day.

"What is going on here?" Mercedes asked wanting answers.

"Can you just enjoy yourself for a change and STOP questioning everything." Tina laughed at her confusion.

They opened the door and the room was lit with candles and two masseuse were there to give them private massages.

Mercedes was excited, she'd never had a massage before and was looking forward to it. She was loving her man so much right know.

After the massage she felt so relaxed she went to shower to wash the oils off. She didn't want all the oil on her clothing, but when she went for her clothes they were gone. All that was left was a white terry cloth robe she slip it on to find Tina and ask where her clothes were.

Tina was in the living area with a stylist team from the hotel.

"What is all of this?" Mercedes said as she look around.

Tina said, "What can I say we have fantastic men."

The girls enjoyed their spa day with new hair style, make-up and a fresh mani-pedi.

There was a knock at the door there was an attendant from one of Mercedes favorite shops with a line of brand new dresses for the night. A note was handed to her. "My Sweet Sadie, hope your day was relaxing, please meet me for dinner at 6pm at the hotel restaurant. Much love, your Super Sammy."

"Eeeek Yeah, I can't wait!" Mercedes was fill with so much joy. "Sam is the best."

Later that night Sam and Mike met the girls down stairs at the restaurant.

As Mercedes and Tina entered the restaurant Sam and Mike mouths dropped open. Mercedes was stunning in a royal blue empire dress with spaghetti straps, it fell just above the knees with a decorative bust line that accented her voluptuous breast. Topped with silver strappy shoes.

Tina had on a long sheer green dress with a mini skirt underneath with the top as a corset trimed in black lace. With black strappy shoes, both girls looked stunning.

The men looked very handsome in their black tuxes as well.

They had a lovely dinner and they danceed the night away. Mercedes thanked Sam time and time again for such a beautiful relaxing day. Sam said " I had to do it this way otherwise you would not have done it at all." and let out a small chuckle.

Mercedes knew he was right and was glad he did it the way he did.

Mike and Tina said their goodbyes and left. Mercedes told Sam. "We have to go and get my car I left it at Justines'. Sam reply, "Mike and I picked it up as soon as you two left there."

"Wait, you were there?" Mercedes said surprise.

"Yes I had to make sure everything went off without any problems. You know how you hate surprises." Sam said with a smirk. Mercedes know it was true, she hated surprises.

"Let go to our room." Sam said.

"Don't you mean home?" Mercedes asked.

"No the room is paid for until Sunday. So I mean our room." Dragging Mercedes behind him they rushed to their hotel room. This time she didn't mind being dragged.

Once inside the room Sam walked over and plugged in his iPod and pressed play. Sam walked back over to Mercedes and looked directly into her big brown eyes and said "Dance with me, Sweet Sadie." in a soft deep sexy voice and they danced holding each other so close.

Sam stop dancing and looked down into Mercedes big brown eyes,

"Mercedes, when I first met you, you left me speechless. I could not find the words to say a simple hi. I fell for you so fast and hard it scared me. I told Tina and Mike before we left that day that you were the one for me I felt it then and I know it for sure now. You are the love of my life." Sam knelt down on one knee pulling a small white box with a gold ribbon out of his pocket. "Mercedes Jones will you do me the honor and make me the happiest man alive and marry me?"

With tears streaming down her face Mercedes nodded and said "YES!" Kneeling down to him, she engulfed him in the biggest hug and kiss Sam could handle. Kissing him all over his face saying "yes, yes, yes!" between each kiss.

End of Back Flash

She was so sad knowing her Sammy, her Super Sammy was gone forever.

So many memories came back to Mercedes. She was an emotional wreck. She needed sleep and she needed it now.

Knock, knock, knock...Mercedes front door. 'It's too damn early in the morning! Who the hell is this?' Mercedes thought to herself. Slowly getting out of bed she made her way to her front door. Knock, knock, knock, "Coming!" she yelled. Reaching the front door. "Who is it?" She yelled as she looked though the peep hole and saw Mike.

She slowly open the door. "Hey Mike." she said and moved to the side to let him in. As she was closing the door she heard. "Hey can I come in too?"

She open the door again to see Sam standing there.
