A boy and A Girl thing
UPDATED
Yeah it had been like six years since Sam and Mercy had actually spoken face to face she'd been in LA on her music thing and doing fine, even seeing a few people and he'd been in Lima at first most the time but now after five years of teaching he's decided to study at the Southern Methodist University in Dallas Texas for his PhD. This was for two main reasons firstly he wanted to go back and be near his family and secondly he was away from all the memories of McKinley High, Lima and all that crap he was sitting killing himself over. He'd finally realised that Mercedes Jones was not at any time returning to Lime for him or anything else, she barely visited her parents now let alone him. So Shit was going to change and he should get on with it, as his parents had told him about a million times over the past years.
He'd brought himself a small 2 bed apartment in the middle of Bluff view near the University Park and not more than a 40 minute drive from his parents in Lakewood. His building was 27 stories high and he lived on the 12th floor walking into the building through the double glass doors there was a water fountain that reminded him of the lake at Lima with seating around it and to the left the concierge quarters which was manned 24 hours. The elevators were directly in front of the door leaving little space for loitering in the foyer area but the entire front was glass so it was airy and bright.
His flat was spacious, with a small T shaped corridor leading to a good sized living area on the right of the top of the T which housed cream sofa in the middle around a 60 inch TV with a glass coffee table as it's centre piece with Black carpets and black walls with white picture frames housing pictures of him at school, college and even teaching he had drawn from photos and a pride of place one of Mercy on her first mall event in New York not forgetting his Treasure Trailz shot. Purple cushions scattered around the sofas and a purple bean bag set to the side of the TV for comfortable gaming. The kitchen led off the living room to the left had white flooring with black electricals and white marble tops and splashbacks against a black wall with a mobile island in the middle with Purple cushions around the seating. Back out to the corridor on the other arm of the T was the bathroom door to the left housing a square Jacuzzi bath on the right as you went in toilet and matching sink and on the left, opposite the bath, a shower on the far wall across with seating. His bedroom was definitely made for sleeping with a king size round bed built in wardrobes and a small dresser with his Man things on and a picture of Mercy and him at the prom. And the spare bedroom was next to the bathroom a lot smaller than the main one but fitted a double bed and cupboard space ample for a couple if necessary
He sat staring the picture "How did I build all my hopes into that one person" he said before flopping into his bed on his first day back in Dallas "What a day" he said to himself he'd flew in from Lima after the farewell party the guys had thrown him last night at which he got totally wrecked and cried. He'd gotten up too late to drive to get here for the last of his belongings that were being delivered so he had to fly over, got a bollocking off his Dad about responsibilities at his age for being late and stayed till after Dinner, hungover and feeling like crap for giving up on Mercy and then the 40 minute lonely drive to his place he was bushed and he only had tonight because college started at 10am in the morning. "Right this is it the first day of the rest of my life" he said before drifting off to sleep with his head not quite right and his heart longing for something that was no longer there for him anyway.
The next morning he jumped up hearing his alarm going off as if it was going to explode any minute, looking at the phone he realised it was its third alarm and he was going to be super late for his first official University lesson. He jumped in the shower and dragged on his jeans and T-Shirt grabbed a cereal bar from the kitchen and his books off the coffee table and left, running across the park to get his ride to Uni. Once Sam got there he felt a bit out of his depth but he could hear Mercy in his ear saying "I believe in you Sammy" and he ploughed on.
"Hi you're a freshman too" some guy came up to him saying
"Yeah first day" Sam replied before thinking 'it would be'
"They're meeting in the Great Hall it's just down the corridor until you see wall and then right and there's a big notice anyway. I'm David if you need any help" the guy said as he walked towards someone else that was mounting the Uni steps
"Sam" he shouted after him and the guy waved his acknowledgement, as Sam followed the instructions to the Great Hall. He walked in to see a sea of heads every one moving and was immediately out of his comfort zone. He went to step back but trod on someone, looking back "Sorry" he said as she looked up at him pain on her face
"It's ok" the tiny voice said back "freshman yeah"
"Yeah, Sam, Sam Evans" he said nodding his head "and I am sorry" he said looking at her foot
"I'll live" she said "Sarah Parkes" she said "hi Sam"
"Hi Sarah" he said and then she was gone
His attention was turned back to the crowded room as he heard banging and someone shouting for attention and searched for it with his eyes to find an elderly man stood on what must have been a stage of some sort getting attached to a mic. "Freshman" he said and the room went quiet "I gather you all heard that?" he said and some nodded while some answered yes. "Welcome to Southern Methodist I'm Professor Mann, if you're lucky you'll have three glorious years here if not I bid you farewell, you can get your timetables from the right in an orderly manner please and if required your dorm information from the left and everyone make note of your lesson times you will get kicked out for tardiness"
Sam wondered around looking for the library, not his favourite place but necessary, the toilets his classes and his tutorial room before he decided to see what was on the cards for the evening at the campus nothing really to go home for so he might as well he thought. He followed the music and ended up at the bar of all places, he was still having effects from his last night in Lima which seemed like so long ago yet only just finished yesterday, 'do I really need to go there again?' He asked himself as he heard his Dad's responsibility speech at the same time 'no' he decided and walked away. He felt a bit awkward anyway being one of the older students at the ripe age of 25 and again he couldn't help but think of the waste of life he'd done waiting for Mercy what was she coming back for anyway he'd done nothing to better himself just waited. 'Well Sam Evans you're doing something now and it's not for any woman, man or child it's for you' he thought puffing his chest out as he walked down the corridor back to the main entrance.
He'd just run for the bus and missed it looked around for somewhere to sit and decided to go to the café to have a hot drink "Hot chocolate with sprinkles please and a sticky bun" he ordered as this woman with the most hazel brown eyes looked up at him making him stare for about a second or two 'Mercy' he thought but was pulled out of that memory by the woman speaking to him again.
"Sprinkles did you say Sir" she confirmed
"Yeah sprinkles" Sam said eventually taking his order and finding a seat
"How often do the buses come going to Uni Park?" he asked the lady with the hazel brown eyes
"20 minutes or so regular anyway" she said her vice much huskier than Mercy's but then she was a lot older than her
"Thanks" Sam said looking at his watch, he sat at the table thinking of how his life had just changed overnight and he'd just up and left Lima. He'd had a conversation with Blaine because Mercy hadn't called him for over 3 weeks, Blaine told him that she had a new boyfriend whom she seemed really taken with 'what about me?' he'd asked him, Blaine informed him that Mercy was sick of hearing about all the girls he was seeing and just decided she needed to get on with her life and let you get on with yours 'so what about our promise?' Sam had asked him 'Man that cherry is past bust some time ago I can't believe you fell for that' Blaine had said and then Sam went into the how do you know stuff and sure as hell it had come from the horses mouth direct to Kurt who had pillow talked it to Blaine. I was so pissed at Blaine for keeping that from me and at Kurt for passing Mercy information about what I was doing I cussed him out bad but then I came to terms with the fact that if she didn't respect me enough to let me know that then obviously there was never really anything there and turned that fucking page sharpish. 'Now I'm sitting here drinking hot chocolate when I should be thinking about getting my dick dipped after 4 years of waiting, and why the hell am I sitting here thinking about Mercy for fuck sake' he thought "First day of the rest of my life and all that"
"Penny for them" the lady from the counter said to Sam as she sat in the seat opposite him
"Not worth the penny" he said half smiling at the thought of Mama Jones saying that to him when he'd go round pissed off at Mercy for something usually no contact
"I'm a good listener and those buses come every 20 minutes through till 2 a.m. so I'm listening" she said
"Really it's nothing"
"It's a girl isn't it?" she asked but before he could answer she continued "Scared it's not going to last the distance now you're at University is that it?"
"We didn't last the distance" he said looking out the window
"Sorry about that son but you know there are plenty more fish in the sea" she said "Whatever you did you can fix or she did you can forgive if you want to there's always a way back" she said
"Not this time I've got to break the chain I've been waiting 10 years for this girl to wake up and see that we were meant to be together and now she has someone new and interesting and I've lost my fight, if she's happy I'll learn to be happy for her" he said "oh my bus" he said jumping up "Bye thanks for the ear" he said and left the shop
Sam jumped on the bus and looked back at the coffee shop he'd just left "plenty more fish in the sea she doesn't know how fast I had to swim to catch Mercy special fish Mam" he said as he waved to her
The next day he was up earlier and took his time to get dressed eat a proper breakfast and took a stroll through the park to the bus stop, got into Uni 30 minutes early and went to the library, he took up a book on Astrology and started looking at the pictures as he sat at the table close by
"Hi I'm Candice you're a freshman yeah" someone said making Sam's head leap up from the book
"Hi Sam yes I am" he said closing the book as he looked at this tall, weaved long haired girl with deep brown eyes and a bright smile and the lightest brown skin.
"I'm a second year and part of my job is to find you guys, make sure you're alright, see what you're interested in and point you in the right direction" she said almost bouncing off the chair as she sat down.
"Oh right" Sam said more focused on her mouth than anything else as they adorned cherry lip chap with the cute V Mercy made in the middle of her lips when she teased him "Sorry" Sam said checking himself "I'm err interested in the arts singing mainly and instruments; guitar, drums maybe piano" he said refocusing "Sorry my err girlfriend wears the exact same lip chap" he said
"Is she here too" Candice asked
"I should say my ex-girlfriend fairly fresh so I'm still a little zoned sorry" he corrected himself
"So you're a free agent then?" she asked
"Well yeah I guess I am"
"So if I say come to the sorority party tonight can I guarantee I'll see you there?" she asked
"You might but I don't really drink so I might be bit of a killjoy" Sam said
"Oh designated driver then" she responded
"Okay" he said
"It's a date" Candice said getting up and flashing her ass at him as she left
Sam looked around the library when he caught himself staring at her walking away and wondered who was watching him but his gaze seemed to go unnoticed. He collected his bag and went off to his lessons until break when he went to the canteen to have his lunch
"Hi Sam" he heard to turn and find Candice and her friends looking at him
"Hi Candice" he said in a voice to mimic hers
"This is Amber and Mercy my girlfriends and we're hoping you'll be our ride for the party tonight" Candice said holding onto his shoulder
Sam thought initially that she was all too familiar but when he looked at Amber she had Mercy's eyes and apart from the other one having Mercy's name she had her booty for real Sam thought I could close my eyes and with all three of these around me I'd be fucking my Mercy 'was that a jump' he said feeling movement in his trousers "Good to meet you" he said with a nod
"And back off you two he's mine" Candice stated to her friends
"I'm nobody's yet you're going to have to impress me" he said cheekily
"The party" Candice said taking out her phone "Give me your number and I'll text you were to come get us from you have a car right?" she asked "What time you picking us up about 6 yeah"
"You got to give me a chance to get dressed girl, I got to go all the way to Lakewood and back" he said not wanting any parties going on at his pad
"You rich?" Mercy asked
"No I'm at college how am I rich?" Sam asked
"She mean is your peoples rich?" Amber asked
"No" he lied
"Shut up" Candice said to her girls "You got a car right?"
"Right" he said as he gave Candice his number before leaving the canteen for lessons, 'We'll see who's playing who here' Sam thought 'Mercy learned me something about you girls'
So Sam went to the party with Candice and her friends and except for them keep trying to get into his trousers at different times he had a good time. At one of the rare times all three let up on him he met a girl also called Sam as in Samantha and she was level headed, they agreed to meet for drinks the next day at the café across from the bus stop and he was actually looking forward to it. Sam dropped one of the girls off near Douglas Avenue and the other two at Campus making out like he was driving straight through to Lakewood so he had to double back on himself after the last drop off to get home.
The next day he was back at Uni day three and yet another girl chasing his tail while he had one on the burner. Sam carried on like this for nearly two years of his Uni life, not letting on that he lived alone taking girls out but nothing else remembering to treat them all with respect and having the no sex talk when necessary with some of the more forward ones. One night during the holidays he sat playing games on his TV and listening to music, he regularly heard Mercy's songs on the radio now it was nothing new she'd quickly got into her R&B and was banging tunes out like nobody's business so when her new tune "Fill a Heart" came on why did his heart stop he'd never heard it before but his heart stopped as soon as she started singing. 'Here she goes with her fucking double meanings again and there you go reading into it what you want Evans, stop it, get fucking laid what are you waiting for' Sam was so angry he could have slapped himself if he thought he was going to do it hard enough "Gym" he said to himself jumping up and changing into his Joggers before leaving the flat.
So Sam was in the gym banging the fuck out of the punch bags repeating "We can change the outcome you and I is where it starts, feel like fucking giving up but keep on" when he was out of breath he went and had a shower and cried with the frustration of not feeling any better. He got dressed and went home grabbing a pizza on the way not wanting to come out again in any event.
"Blaine Dude I know I haven't called for a while but I thought I was doing well then I hear another one of Mercy's songs on the radio and I'm fucked again man I need to take some time can I come visit you, get back to me" he said into his phone and cut the message call off.
About 30 minutes later he got a call from Blaine "Dude great to hear from you I have a weekend free this weekend and I want to get away from Kurt for a bit can I come to you?" he asked
"Yes no problem that would be good I know Kurt's Mercy's person, wait is Mercy there?" he asked
"No Dude sore subject has been for a while I'll fill you in when I get there"
"Okay Friday yeah"
"Friday dude, remember that?" Blaine said laughing
"What?" Sam asked
"Friday at Prom" He said
"Oh yeah later Dude" Sam said looking the phone 'I'm telling him I'm trippin over Mercy and he's reminding me of times with her, Mercy would say hot mess' he thought to himself
The next day he spent with his family on the ranch making himself busy and talking to his Dad about his feelings "I wish I could explain it Dad I invested everything in her and I don't know how that happened or why she just became my life and even now I see bits of her body on other women and I'm attracted to those bits you know but not enough to commit to anything with them. Is this my destiny so to speak my mind, body and spirit refuses to love anyone but her and don't tell me to do anything about it Dad because come on 7 years I've been trying and when I thought she was there waiting I was having fun I mean real fun, but now" Sam said trailing off into nothing
"Son she's your soul mate I wish I had some words of wisdom for you, a way through this but until you both officially sit down and let each other go you'll feel this way, I bet she's going through the same thing" his Dad said. Later that night laden with frozen dinners and healthy juice drinks Sam left for home knowing that Blaine was coming the following day.
The next morning bright and early Sam went to the airport to collect Blaine and was really pleased to see him after over 2 years "Dude how is everyone?" he asked having cut all ties with everyone except Blaine and Puck sometimes
"Rachel and Jessie are fine, Satan and Britt split up for about a year but their together again, Artie married Tina, Puck and Quinn are tight and Kurt and me well that's still out for judging" Blaine said getting all that out the way "Oh and Mike ended up with Sugar of all people" he said looking at Sam waiting for his enquiry
"What about Mercy what's she up to?" Sam asked not disappointing
"Honestly Dude I don't know, Kurt and her stopped talking about 2 years ago, he's called and text tried Sapping and requested Skype but she hasn't answered any of them. None of the others have heard anything except what's on TV about her she's either gone too far up or underground and seeing's as she's just released another hit I'm guessing up top" Blaine finished and Sam's heart sank again
"So what did they stop talking about I thought they were solid friends from like kindergarten" Sam asked
"Actually it was about me and you" Blaine said making Sam sit up
"What do you mean me and you?"
"Well remember I told you about that guy Mercy was seeing and everything that made you leave Lima and actually decide to do something with your life, that and all the other stuff"
"What about him did he ill-treat her?" he asked ready to fight
"No nothing like that just that we were out of order telling you all that stuff" Can we at least get out the car before we have this conversation?" Blaine asked
"Yeah fine" Sam looked at him saying as the conversation changed for the rest of the journey
"So telling me all that stuff" Sam reminded him as they sat down on his couch with a drink each
"Yeah" Blaine said moving uneasily "She went off about us telling her all your stuff trying to mess with her head and then Kurt said you both did what you did because you wanted to be legal sluts, Mercy got so mad because she was still a virgin and she thought Kurt knew her better, Kurt said something about you all having unmentionable diseased that would stop you from having children and she slammed the phone down telling him he was jealous of what you and her had" Blaine said without looking up once at Sam knowing full well that, if he wanted to right now he had more than the power to kill him
"He called her a slut?" Sam said fists as white as the couch they sat on "Blaine you need to move" he said through his teeth which Blaine did quickly he went to the kitchen and only heard the front door slam, a few minutes later when her returned to the living room it was empty Sam had gone out.
So again Sam found himself at the gym banging the shit out of that punch bag again "Legal Sluts" he was saying over and over again and when he was in the shower he cried again for a short while before drying off getting dressed and returning home. Blaine was sitting in the living room watching TV or it was watching him but which ever he had no idea what was on as he heard Sam return
"Dude I can't excuse my behaviour in all this all I can say is the truth which is that as a brother I love you and I would have never told you anything out of trying to be malicious" Blaine said standing up ready for whatever Sam saw fit to give him
"Dude its Ok it's up to Mercy and I to work at changing this outcome if it's what we really want to do we'll find a way" Sam replied hugging him in "Sorry about the freak out"
"It's Mercy business my man it's always going to get orbital with you" Blaine said looking at Sam who eventually laughed "Tell em that it's human nature" Blaine sang
"For Kurt's record I've slept with maybe three girls since New York and each time Mercy knows about and I was covered and, up until 2 years ago Mercy was still a virgin, and the only reason I don't have an update is because he trashed me to my girl"
"I will, so; what am I here for what's this Mercy melt down you're having?" Blaine asked
"I came here for a fresh start you know to forget about Mercy and build myself some sort of life and gain some qualifications, I hear one record and I'm second guessing its meaning and craving for Mercy all over again 2 years Dude and two lines of a song and its down the drain I feel like I'm never going to get over her you know" Sam said looking at his hands "I really can't believe I'm so whipped I want to slap myself sometimes I just know it won't be hard enough could you not just stay here just to give me a slap sometimes when I get out of hand like this?"
"Have you been seeing anyone?"
"Dude I've been seeing everybody I take girls out all the time because of the colour of their lip gloss or stick, their booty, lips, eyes I once contemplated sleeping with 3 girls at the same time because individually they had an areas of Mercy I wanted to feel I just don't want them I mean 2 years call it 40 girls I've dated let alone the ones that have thrown themselves at me and I've not touched one of them what does that say about me"
"Do you want the truth?"
"Only way to give it"
"Your whipped Dude"
"I know that Dude, what I need to know is how to un-whip myself" Sam laughed
"Go see her Dude get closure or whatever you two need to get over it" Blaine replied
"Great advice but nobody has her contact details, she's changed her agent and I check all the time she's not touring" Sam informed Blaine
"Food" Blaine said, unable to think of anything else so they ordered in Chinese, ate and eventually went to bed
Sam lay on his bed trying to force himself to sleep maybe it was all the talk of Mercy but he couldn't settle, his mind wondered to their first sexual encounter as it always did when he needed to be with her. It was just after they'd had the conversation about not keeping that damn dog in New York I remember my eyes were sadder than the poor puppy and Mercy had just won the argument and somehow I'd made her feel sorry for me she started kissing me and I'd plastered on the lost puppy look which I knew got to her every time. I'd done my usual hand on back thing as I kissed her and even done the above the clothes thing with ease, then she'd been the one to move my hand to under the top she didn't stop kissing me and I dare not stop in case she realised what she'd done.
"Sam I want you to touch me" she said through the kiss
"Are you sure?"
"Yes I'm sure"
"Not here Blaine and Kurt might come in on us lets go upstairs" I'd said
She was the one who started undoing buttons and things I went in for a kiss and stayed there tasting her in as her breathing got heavier and my dick got harder, my hands wondered under her top touching her soft warm skin as her breathing itched at my touch making me smile
"We're not going to have sex Mercy relax" I said feeling her relax into me and start kissing me hard again
My hands moved across her face opening my eyes as I stopped to drink her in with her look of lust for me, her eyes opened at the detachment and she looked worried at first but then developed a smile which danced across her hazel brown eyes. At that moment I grabbed her bottom lip in my teeth and sucked the lipstick off it before giving my own lip for her to suck on before our tongues intermingled and they licked, sucked and tasted each other's mouths until we were lost in the feeling.
"I'm stepping up a gear is that alright?" I asked
"Yes Sam that's alright" she answered, as I let her mouth go and moved my head down to her neck kissing from her neck to her cleavage and back again before taking her top all the way off and throwing it to the bed kissing her hard as I undone her bra and pulled her bra off her body exposing her full breasts for about 5 seconds before my mouth was on her right nipple sucking hard and soft, she was moaning in ecstasy as my hands searched her body for other unfamiliar parts and my dick pressed against her belly, pumping. I moved to the other fully erected nipple and sucked on it until she cried out for more and then let it go before kissing down her stomach and back up again
"Stepping up another gear Mercy is that ok?" I asked my voice husky with want at this point
"Yes" she said before I grabbed her mouth again and kissed her with urgency, I kept kissing her as they moved towards the bed, I lowered her onto it, she sat there looking at me taking my clothes off, she reached up and felt my chest sending shock waves through me, as I took my top off, she hugged into me as I stood in front of her, I moved her hair out of her face before going down to kiss her again. I undone my trousers and pulled them down kneeling in front of her with just my shorts on and looked at her naked breasts before taking them in my hands and playing with her nipples while watching her face go through all the emotions and feelings she was experiencing for the first time. Eventually I kissed her again and she pulled me in, neither of us wanting this to stop suddenly she was grabbing for me and my breath itched when she found his dick and pulled it out of my shorts, I could have unloaded right then
"We're not going to have sex Sam relax" she said as she made me stand up and began to massage me, it was amazing my head flew back at her touch and my mind was going all over the place, Mercy wet my tip with saliva making me proper whimper "I love you Sam" she said as I looked at her, and at that exact point she covered me with her mouth, it was the most amazing feeling, she looked me in the eyes as I moved involuntarily to the rhythm of her sucking action within minutes we found our rhythm and I was telling her I was about to explode, and God she carried on, My body went into spasm my knees began to give way as I emptied into her mouth
"I love you Mercy I really do" was all I had in my head to say the only truth I knew as I emptied
"Sam come on we're going to miss the day" Blaine shouted "Breakfast is ready" he said as he knocked the bedroom door
"What? Yeah in a minute" he said recognising Blaine's voice as he jumped up he felt wet and knew he definitely needed a shower before he did anything else "Mercy Mercy Me" he said with a smile on his face. Blaine and he spent the weekend more sightseeing and catching up and then it was time for Blaine to leave
"Dude I never asked how are you and Kurt you've hardly spoken about him since you've been here?" Sam asked
"It was good to have a few days without the mention of his name to be honest, we're good, but you know Kurt work for him is as good as a rest for me, this break for him has lasted like 3 months he's never that long before he's off working but I pray for the next Job Dude, if you get what I'm saying"
"I don't actually Bro I'm dying to see Mercy and you want to get away from Kurt I wouldn't wish my life on anybody don't wish it for yourself" Sam said as they pulled up at the airport and then he was gone
Sam went through the last year of university pretty much how he went through the first two, lots of female friends he'd take out or chat with but no commitments and still no one fit for sleeping with "Sam we've known each other for three years now I consider you a friend but I've got to ask are you gay" Candice asked
"No not gay in love" he said
"In love with who?" she asked
"My high school girlfriend she got me back then and I can't move on actually that's a lie I don't want to move on" he said
"She must be one fit bitch" Candice said laughing
"Don't disrespect like that Candice not cool" Sam said
"Defending her too" she said rolling her eyes
"Yep you're what she'd call a hot mess" he said laughing
"She's a sister?" Candice asked
"She's my future wife" Sam replied as they sat in the café drinking their hot drinks
"Sorry Sam what's she like? Miss Perfect I mean" Mercy asked
"She's like my soul mate, best friend, lover, heart all rolled into one and I love her always have always will" he said with dreamy eyes
"Well lucky her, Miss Perfect that is" Damien; Candice's boyfriend said
"Dude you're whipped" Troy said making Mercy laugh and nearly fall off his lap as he shook her to stop "What's up with you girl love ain't no joke" he followed with making her stop laughing and apologise
"Maybe if things don't work out with Miss Perfect" Amber said looking around the table with a cheeky smile "We could try a thing" she said smiling at Sam who smiled back
"No offence Amb but if I haven't looked to try a thing after three years, I think it's safe to say nothings there" Sam replied knocking fists with Tarray sitting next to him
"Now if you wanted to try a thing with me that might be different" Tarray put to Amber
"Stop with the flirting stuff guys you know it's never going to happen" Troy said "You two are like sisters" he said pointing to Mercy while talking to Amber "how is Tarray going to deal with you he's my damn twin"
"So now Uni is over for you what's next?" Tarray asked Sam
"I'm going to be at home for a bit but I've applied for some teaching jobs and I've got some interviews so I'm waiting for those outcomes and then I don't know really get into things get somewhere to live, wife, family usual stuff" Sam said
"In Dallas, the jobs I mean?" Troy asked
"No all over really I have no roots as yet so I'm flexible"
"It'll be sad to see the crew break up and you've been a good friend Sam a really good friend. There ain't many I'd trust with my girl but you are definitely one, I rate you" Troy said knocking fist with Sam
"Tell the truth I don't know of many black guys who let a white dude hang with them so I'm grateful to you all for letting me be a friend to you all and I hope we keep in touch" Sam said looking around the table "And I will bring Miss Perfect for you to meet when I find her" he said moving in his chair, thinking 'why did I do that'
Eventually they left the café gave hugs and promised to meet up again soon, Sam went back to his flat threw his pizza in the oven and put his game on "Right let's win this" he said pulling his bean bag out and sitting full centre, his usual spot, at the TV. He uploaded his place and started his game about 10 minutes in his phone rang, he switched his loudspeaker on and muted his TV
"Hi speak" he said into the phone
"Sam is that you" he heard on the other end
"Yeah who's this" he said pausing the game to take the phone up and look at the contact details "Puck what the fuck what's up Dude long time"
"Yeah long time I know I got your contact off Blaine just happened to bump into him in Lima the other day his Dad was ill or something" Puck informed him "Sad about you and Sexy Mama man I thought you two were forever but I wanted to invite you to our wedding"
"Who you getting hitched to Dude?"
"Lauren man we reconnected about two years ago and it's been commitment ever since and well we're pregnant so we decided to seal it" Puck said sounding happy about it all
"What happened to Quinn?" Sam asked
"You still interested in her?" Puck asked
"No Dude just thought you wanted her like all through school and stuff and the Army?" he replied
"I wanted her for real Dude but she was too superficial and well high maintenance if I'm honest and the trust thing was always an issue after the Beth thing you know" Puck said his voice a little flat
"And Lauren is it real?" Sam asked
"Very" Puck replied "So I'm calling with an invite as I said and to find out if you have a contact for Mercedes" Puck said
"Thanks for the invite just send the details and I'll be there and no I haven't spoken to or heard anything about Mercy for about 4 maybe 5 years now" Sam said flatly
"Dude you still in love with Mama?" Puck asked
"Why do you ask?" Sam enquired
"The way you sound, are you?"
"Yeah still hooked, I think it's going to be that way until we're thirty or something, then I'll know it's really and truly over" Sam said
"Don't tell me one of your promises" Puck said with a laugh and Sam laughed with him because he knew it was true
"Dude I'll send you the information save my number and use it" Puck said before ending the call
Sam sat looking at the frozen TV screen thinking 'she said she wouldn't be ready till maybe thirty and she's doing well she's just getting things out the way before she comes back to me' He'd gone through all the excuses for no contact he could muster and still sat there, after five years, telling his friend she was still coming back "how pathetic" he said to himself turning the game back on for a long while before deciding to watch a film until he could hopefully fall asleep. He stayed awake all through the film as boring as it was and pottered around doing nothing just strumming his guitar doing a puzzle and even straightening his sock draw and throwing out odd socks or old ones before he looked up and saw it was 1.30 in the morning and he was still wide awake. He sat on his bed and switched on his radio to hear harsh rock music churning out and flicked the switch to another channel to find Country music bringing a smile to his face and he fell back on his bed with his hands behind his head listening trying to relax. He lay for a short time before he decided to get ready for bed to see if that helped, taking off his shirt, trousers, sock and watch before getting back into his former position on the bed. Sam was somewhere between sleep and dream when he heard Mercy's voice making his eyes shoot open "What?" he asked the voice still trying to focus his eyes from jumping up so fast
"Boy I'm a woman as important as the air you breath I'm a woman, just show me all the man that I need" Mercy sang in his ear bringing him out of his sleep
"Mercy" he said falling back on his bed, back where he was less than two hours ago insomnia but now with Mercy in his head
"Shit do I need you right now" he said looking at the photo of her on his dresser and rubbing his dick. He sat looking at her with that smile on her face saying she was in total love and wanted to be with him in every sense of the word all the way back then at Prom he lay wondering if he had never said on that day 'we're not going to go have sex' if she'd have let him just do it that day as he lay there again thinking about the events of the day, after the want to marry you talk, when they were on hot bricks. She didn't want to go studio I didn't really want to go for the interview with Time Magazine and we lay in bed trying to get the other to get out of bed rolling around until I started tickling her making her belly laugh I love that about her that laugh and we were truly enjoying it then she started kissing me to distract from the tickling. Within seconds the kiss deepened and I had pulled her in and my hands was running up and down her body light touches that just felt like silken material moving against her skin involuntarily, my hand went under her night dress and she kissed me harder, my kisses peppered down her neck line from her full lips swollen from the hard kisses and I moved my hand over her bra to ease out her left breast from its home and sucked on her nipple until she moved with my sucking motion. She grabbed my hair and held onto it making me wince with the jerk as I looked up at her without letting go of her nipple to see her enjoying her pleasure and I quickly moved to the other breast slowly undoing the clip at the front of her bra allowing her boobs to breath.
Her nipples stood to attention as her back arched to fully give her nipples to me and her legs moved rubbing together and up and down as I slowly trailed my hand down her body to her belly button before following it with my tongue and playing with it making her giggle at the touch. I grabbed her nipples in between my thumb and index finger and squeezed them making her cry in ecstasy as I moved my mouth down past her belly button and to the top of her knicker line.
"Can I?" I asked before going back down to kiss the area making sure to move her panties with every flick
"Yes" she said through her moan
I had tasted her the night before but it was in the dark and although enjoyable I didn't really see her face clearly or see her body react to me, now with the morning light nothing was hidden and I saw everything her movement, touch, sounds, needs I could see it all and I was taking it all in because I needed to make this is finely tuned instrument I needed to know how to keep her happy and I wanted to put in what I knew I was getting out, I love her body , the person she is, her spirit and I want it to be mine forever. I removed her panties and opened her legs pulling her to the edge of the bed bringing the pillows with her to keep her comfortable, putting her left leg over my shoulder as I knelt in front of her I spoke to her making her laugh
"Breakfast in bed" I said as I used my hand to touch her exposed button making her cry out in pleasure and call my name I remember laughing at that "You're so wet for me babe I'm so turned on by that" I said "I'm going to ask you to explode in my mouth babe will you do that for me?" he asked watching her button stiffen up and love juice ooze from her opening
"Sam I need to" she said grabbing hold of the sheets and pillow as she moved her hips in a natural motion
"I've just discovered talking turns you on babe, so I'm doing a lot of that before we go any further" I said as she oozed again bringing another smile to my face
"Please Sam" she said
I couldn't resist I almost dived in and pleasured her licking her love and sinking my tongue so far inside her she experienced vaginal sex without the actual dick, I felt her walls start closing around my tongue, her button was as hard as a drum I knew she was exploding and I looked at her face. Her eyes closed, back arched smile on her face and the she suddenly grabbed my head and rammed it into her wet as she violently pushed herself into my face screaming what I eventually made out to be I love you Sam, I sucked until the noise stopped and her body relaxed
We both lay there for a while before she got up and pulled his shorts down "And of course I need to be a good girlfriend and return the service by putting your big fat dick in my mouth and sucking and deep throating until you cum all up in this face"
"Err That bit didn't happen" Sam said jumping out of his sleep and looking around his now familiar room as he felt his wet bedsheet and got out of the bed, making his way to the bathroom, dragging the sheet with him. "I've got to stop this shit" he said to himself. "Mercy I'll give you till the 7th February and then that is it I'm out" he said looking up at nothing before looking back at her photo on the dresser "I mean it I will give up" he threatened staring at into eyes as if she were really standing in front of him.
Sam toyed with sleep for the rest of the night and eventually fell off again about 5 a.m. woken by his phone ringing "What?" he shouted into the receiver "Mom what's up?" he asked now with concern sitting up in his bed "Is everyone alright?" he asked all he heard was Granma and he flicked the phone off, jumped out of bed drew some clothes on and he was in his car on his way home to be with his family. When he got there he found everyone in the living room sitting around solemn faced, his Mom ran over to him
"She's gone Sammy Grandma's gone" she said crying into him like a baby that had been taken from its parent breaking Sam's heart and indeed his defences within seconds he too was crying for his Grandma along with his siblings and his Dad. So Sam camped out for the week with his family until the funeral and the following day he returned home to his flat wondering what the rush was to get back there. Letters cluttered his mailbox and as he retrieved them he saw letters from three places he'd applied to for jobs.
Sam kicked his shoes off at the door, threw his wash bag and things on the floor next to them sorted through the letters and ended up taking the three he recognised and two more he didn't to the sofa with him "Curtis" he said before ripping the envelope open to see that an interview was being offered for a Teaching post to start in March next year "Okay" he said before looking at the next one from Peabody "Didn't want that one anyway" he said throwing it down and the last one from Cleveland "Interview" he said to himself putting the letter on top of the other two. He turned his attention to the two letters and opened the first on to find an invitation from Puck and Lauren to their wedding on the 12th December "Dude that's next month" he shouted at the card in his hand taking out his phone and putting the date and details in his diary and, calling the travel agents to book a flight. Once off the phone he thought he'd play his game a bit before going down to the gym, so he played for about 4 hours before dragging himself away and forcing himself to go to the gym on leaving he picked his letters up off the sofa and put them on the coffee table to file away when he got back. Totally exhausted on his return Sam went straight to bed and stayed there for the night. He didn't know whether it was the long week of emotional turmoil, the gym or the lack of sleep over the past maybe three weeks that finally got to him but he slept like a baby that night and got up feeling refreshed.
As he walked through the living room to get to the kitchen he noticed a pile of papers on his coffee table and did a mind check on where they came from before remembering his interview at Curtis and Cleveland Uni for teaching posts bringing a smile to his face "If you could see me now Miss Jones" he said to her portrait as he passed through the room.
As he made his hot drink and breakfast he thought about Puck's wedding and wondered who Puck and Lauren had found from the old crew to attend, he smiled at the thought of Quinn turning up and getting all jealous on Puck and flinging herself all over him to get back at Puck. Then he thought better still Satan opening her big mouth and saying something Lauren didn't like to get dragged all over the floor again Lima Heights style making himself laugh "Drama" he said out loud 'Drama would be Mercy turning up with some big bastard that I'd have to knock the fuck out for touching her in front of me and then me getting bitch slapped for disrespecting her man' he thought "It would be worth it" he said
'Anyway' interview is in the bag I'm confident it's perfect, life is in check so Miss Jones better front up or ship out and I'm in a good place today he thought biting into this toast as he went to the living room to sit and vegetate in front of the TV.
Soon the interviews came and Sam did his best shook hands and left the premises, with the confidence he'd hear from one of his 6 interviews he'd had so far some time in January. So it was 4 days to his flight back to Lima for the first time in 5 years and he was sort of looking forward to it but not really because; the one person he would have gone back there for was not going to be there. Puck had informed him that her parents hadn't heard from her in over 2 years except for the cheques coming in and even her bestie Tina hadn't had phone contact for over 3 years Mercy had well and truly hit the fast lane and never looked back.
The evening before he left of Lima he caved in and threw her picture in his bag as his only reminder of times gone by this was going to be a bitter sweet trip and he had, he thought, mentally prepared himself for it. As he got off the plane in Lima Mike and Tina were standing waiting for him "Hi Guys, Puck didn't say you were picking me up" he said as he hugged into Tina first and then Mike the reunion brought tears as they stood wondering how something so tight could have been so easily disbanded without saying anything to each other.
"I didn't know how much but I really missed you too" Tina said
"Still with the uncontrollable crying then" he said to Mike who was shaking his head "Where are Sugar and Artie?" Sam asked looking between them
"Oh over by the luggage section but we are we and they are they Bro don't ask" Mike said "Really old news left at the alter and everything tell you later" and Sam shook his head
"So is it true about you and Mercy?" Mike asked
"What that we haven't spoken for about 5 years?" Sam asked
"No; that you've got this when you're thirty thing going on" Mike said
"What thirty thing?"
"Puck said you committed yourselves to each other when you're thirty and that's like two months' time for Mercy isn't it?" Mike insisted
"That's not what I said at all, but we did, although I wouldn't hold her to any of that" he lied
"Oh good coz I heard she was married about 4 years ago" Jessie said
"Who told you that" Sam spun round to see Satan standing there "Still drawing you over the coals then Trouty, Mercedes that is" Satan said hugging him in "Nice to see you again all grown and shit"
"Hello Satan" Sam said hugging her in
"Obviously Quinn ain't coming, Brittany's into some guy at the moment and she don't want me around, so we are loose cannons" She said winking at Sam
"Count me out Satan been there done that, destroyed the fucking T-shirt and as I said then my dick ain't visiting that particular hole any time soon" he said into her ear smiling as he moved away
"Let the games begin" Mike said
"No game there" Santana replied "Anyone seen Puck and Lauren yet then?"
"We just got in too, I agreed to be the nominated driver so I picked up the hire van and had to wait for everyone else I'm waiting for Blaine and Kurt now and that's it" Mike said "Where's Rachel, Jess"
"I'll give you one guess" he said rolling his eyes
"Performing" Tina and Satan said together
"Got it in one she'll be here later tonight" Jessie said "But she sent her damn bags with me so I need help"
"Got it" Sam said as he was traveling light anyway
About 20 minutes later Kurt and Blaine turned up and hellos were said and hugs were had before everyone collected their luggage and piled into the transport and straight to the hotel where Puck was waiting in the bar
"Dude" Sam shouted across the bar when he spotted Puck, he had grown his hair some and now had a thick beard "You are not getting hitched looking like that?" he carried on to say stepping back with his arms stretched out
"Dude I'm getting married tomorrow I'll be set in the morning" Puck said walking towards them with his arms open "Guys I missed you all and I love that you came for me" he said hesitating before adding "Lauren will be here in a bit" with a smile on his face
"Puck is caught I can't believe it and by Lauren I knew she had that something for you Dude you were so whipped for her at school" Kurt said
"I worked hard for her at school and still didn't get anywhere after a year but when we reconnected all the courting had been done at school I think I proved my worth and well the rest is history" Puck said
They spent the evening catching up and nobody really had anything exciting to say other than work and family commitments. The following day Puck got his hair and beard cut got his suit on and Lauren put her cream wedding dress on looking radiant at six months pregnant and a wedding took place that was beautiful as Rachel, Santana, Tina, Artie and Sam sang "I don't want to miss a thing" by Aerosmith for them down the aisle and as best men Mike and Sam said a beautifully funny speech about both Lauren and Puck and everyone was left dancing as they went off on their honeymoon. There were promises to meet up again for the Christening and the Sunday every one returned to their homes having exchanged numbers.
Sam called his parents as soon as he landed in Dallas to let them know he was back safely, got home and dropped his bag, guitar and kicked off his shoes before shutting the door. He went in the kitchen and put the kettle on before going back for his bag and taking out the washing to do and hanging his suit up along with storing away his shoes. Now back in the kitchen he made his hot drink opened a fresh packet of cookies and went to the sofa for uninterrupted gaming time "This is the life" he said as he pulled out his favourite gaming seat from the side of the TV flicking the TV switch on in the process. Dragging the bean bag behind him and grabbing the console remote with his other hand he sat on the bag, and accidentally flicked the TV off the gaming console channel "Damn" he said wondering if he had saved his last game or froze it. The TV was on a music channel and Aerosmith was playing Sam smiled thinking about Puck's face as Lauren walked down the aisle to him on Saturday and decided to watch the music video for the song.
