The Snow Day.
Mercedes" alarm when off signifying it was 6:30am. She slowly opened her eyes, rummaging for her phone to stop it from loudly blaring her alarm tone. She pushed her covers back as she sat up in bed. She stood and stretched, while walking to her window. She pushed back her curtains to view her entire back yard blanked in snow. She smiled at the sight and rushed to her computer, to log on to McKinley's website. The words "Snow Day" blared across the top of the screen. She smiled widely at the fact that she did not have to attend school.
She skipped downstairs to her kitchen to find her mother and father dressed and ready for work. Her mother left her an already made plate of scrabbled eggs, bacon, and toast, on the family's kitchen table. She kissed her mother on the cheek with a large grin. "I guess someone got the news that they don't have class today" Carolyn giggled at her daughter's great mood. Mercedes nodded wildly and smiled as she sat down to her breakfast.
At that moment her father Julius came into the kitchen through the back door. His boots and gloves were covered in snow. He made sure not to come too far into the house and stood on the house mat to prevent dipping water everywhere. "Okay all of the cars have been dug out and the driveway is clear" he huffed as he attempted to warm himself. "I started your car so it should be warm for you" he announced to his wife. She walked over to her husband and gently kissed him as a reward for his kind gesture. He looked to his daughter and smiled "Morning baby, you know you can go back to bed, it's a snow day"
Mercedes grinned between bites of her bacon. "I know" she sang.
"Well enjoy it, because when you're an adult, you don't get one" Julius huffed a bit jealous of his daughter's day off. He assisted Carolyn with her winter coat and kissed his wife sweetly on the lips. "Bye baby, well be home at the usual time" he called as he and his wife exited their house.
Mercedes finished her breakfast and headed to the family den to find her grandmother sitting under a quilt, working on a new one. "Hey so what are we doing to day" Mercedes questioned with a smile as she fell onto the couch next to her and gave her a quick squeeze. Joyce giggled at her granddaughter's affection. Without looking up from her current task she questioned "You're staying here?"
Mercedes nodded answering "Yeah, why?"
"Well I figured you be off with Sam" Joyce grinned. Mercedes blushed as she rethought informing her grandmother that she had a new boyfriend. She held off on telling her mother and especially her father about Sam due to the fact that they had been so close to Shane. She didn't want any questions from them about the situation.
"But you'll be lonely without me here" Mercedes cooed resting her head on her grandmothers shoulder nuzzling her like a puppy. Joyce laughed out loud stating "Child I have my quilt and my Wayne Brady on Lets Make a Deal. I'll be just fine"
"You sure" Mercedes quizzed
"Girl go and enjoy being a teen" Joyce giggled as she kissed Mercedes head. Mercedes bounced off of the couch and ran to her stairs. "Well don't enjoy it too much!" Joyce warned as her granddaughter bolted up to her room.
When she reached her door, she opened it and laid across her bed, grabbing her phone off of the night stand. She quickly turned it on and went through her contacts. She pressed Sam's number and hit call. His phone rang four times before he answered. He sounded groggy and half asleep. "Hey sleepy head" she giggled. She had never heard his morning voice before. He sounded gruff and horse.
"Hey" he yawned on the other end. Sam was still warm in his bed. After his mother Laureen informed him that he didn't have to go to school, he decided to roll back over and go back to sleep.
"Get up and get the kids dressed. We're going to have a snow day" Mercedes announced as she quickly organized her thoughts about what they would do for the day.
"Huh?" Sam questioned sleepily.
"Get up and get dressed sleepy. And make sure you guys dress warmly" She beamed.
"Okay, okay, I'm up" Sam groaned as he sat up. "Get up and get dressed? Why?" he questioned
"You'll see" Mercedes giggled "I'll be there in a half an hour"
"Okay" Sam sighed finally waking up fully "See you then"
With that Mercedes quickly hung up, grabbed her robe from the back of her room door and ran down to the bathroom. She quickly showered, and lathered on a heavy winter lotion when she got out. She brushed her teeth and skipped down to her room. She put on a pair of her thicker jeans, two long sleeve shirts, and her thermal socks. She quickly brushed her hair into a low pony tail, and placed an adorable purple knit cap on her head. She put on her purple Uggs and grabbed a tote out of her closet. In it she placed a pair of sweat pants, a ribbed tank, a cute thin Henley, a pair of slipper socks, and her zebra print slippers. She skipped down stairs to her kitchen and grabbed two packs of popcorn, and four packs of hot coco mix, from her family's economy sized box, and filled a Ziploc bag with mini marshmallows. She finally grabbed a large can of tomato soup. She then walked into the den and grabbed a DVD from her family's collection. As she placed it in her bag, she turned to her grandmother in time to hear her say something about Wayne Brady's butt under her breath. Mercedes giggled and asked "Are you sure you'll be okay, cause I can-"
"Good bye Mercedes" Joyce cut her off and smiled at her sweetly.
Mercedes walked past Joyce lightly kissing her on the cheek on her way to the front door. She quickly put on her heaviest winter coat, scarf, and gloves.
When she walked outside she took a survey of the neighborhood. She looked like she literally lived in a winter wonder land. Every inch of her surroundings was covered in a thick blanket of snow. She was thankful that her father had cleared out the drive way, and had even cleaned off her car for her while he was out. She ducked into the family garage, and grabbed her old sled. She tossed it in the back of her car, and quickly jumped in her Focus, to get out of the cold air. She turned on her car and slowly backed out of her drive way. She drove extremely cautiously down the snow covered roads of Lima. What would normally be a ten minute drive to Sam's house was stretched out to fifteen.
When she pulled up Sam and his sibling ran outside, Stacie leading the trio. All three of them had on heavy winter coats, hats, gloves, and snow boots. Stacie ran up to Mercedes and hugged her tightly, almost knocking her over. "Hey sweetie" Mercedes giggled "You ready for our snow day?"
"Yeah" Stacie smiled excitedly.
Sam smiled as he finally reached his sister and girlfriend, with his little brother right next to him. When she saw Steven, Mercedes beamed "Ohhhh I have something you'll love". With that Mercedes pushed the button on her hatch popping it open, revealing the sled. Stevens's eyes widened and exclaimed "Cool!" He hugged Mercedes, and ran over to the car. Sam put his arm around his girlfriend enjoying the site of his siblings examining the sled in the back of her car. "Thanks for doing this" he whispered into her ear as he bent down to kiss her on the cheek.
Mercedes blushed at the warmth of his lips. "Don't thank me yet" she smiled "You're carrying it to the park" she smiled as she went to go assist the children with the sled. "Okay guys, lets go so we can get some good runs in" She beamed to the group.
When the sled was out of the car, the four of them began their trek, two blocks from Sam's house to the closest local park. Luckily, the Evans lived closet to the best sledding area in the city. When they got to the park there weren't too many people there, but Mercedes knew that would quickly change. So they started sledding first. They took turns running up the hill and quickly gliding down it on the toy. Stacie insisted on taking a ride with Mercedes, while Steven road with Sam. Then teens allowed the children to ride together. With each pass the air was filled with giggles and screams. After twenty minutes of sledding, the hill became packed as all of the other children came out to enjoy their impromptu holiday. So their small group walked to the more level portion of the park. There they made snow men and snow angles. Mercedes laughed especially hard at her boyfriend as he made his snow angle. The sight of Sam flapping his arms and legs in the snow to make a six foot snow angle sent her into a giggle fit. He noticed her laughed at him and playfully threw and hit her with a snow ball. As the snow ball exploded on the front of her jacket, Mercedes playfully yelled "Oh it's on now." With that the group broke out into an impromptu snowball fight. Sam playfully used his little brother as a human shield as he ran through the snow while Stacie and Mercedes tried their best to pelt them.
They where outside for an hour and a half before the cold of the snow and air finally hit them. They then decided it was time to go home and continue their day in doors. They headed back to the Evan's house, Steven, and Stacie running a little ahead, while Sam and Mercedes lingered back holding hands, as Sam pulled the sled.
When they reached the Evans home, Mercedes grabbed her bag out of the passenger side of her car, while Sam loaded the sled back in the hatch. They headed inside of the house, leaving their snow covered boots, and coats at the door in a neat row. After helping the children pick warm, comfy clothing to put on, the teens headed down to Sam's room to change. Mercedes stepped into Sam's half bath and slipped out of her wet, cold jeans, hanging them on the back of the bathroom door to dry. She replaced them with her comfortable purple sweatpants. She slipped out of her wet thermal socks and put on her warm dry slipper socks and slippers. She finally put on her white ribbed tank and her favorite thin pink Henley over it. Just as she was slipping it on Sam knocked and opened the bathroom door enough to peek inside.
"Need any help" he said in a sly tone.
"Nope all dressed" She giggled at his attempted to sneak a peak.
"Dang" he sighed playfully. He opened the door fully, and took a good look at his girlfriend, as she fixed her pony tail in his small bathroom mirror. "You look amazing" he cooed in her ear as he stood behind her. She looked up at him in the mirror and smiled at how sweet he was. He stared at how they looked together in the mirror and could help but think what a great looking couple they made. She turned to him and smiled widely and reached up to him and gently kissed him on the lips as he wrapped his arms around her waist. "Why thank you Mr. Evans" she cooed.
"Ewwwww" Steven gagged at the show of affection.
"Hey what did I tell you about coming down here without knocking?" Sam scolded, as Mercedes giggled into his chest, slightly embarrassed.
"Sorry" Steven sighed "But we're all changed and ready" he smiled charmingly resembling his older brother.
"Okay let's go" Mercedes clapped as she wriggled out of Sam's arms. She placed her arm around Steven and lead him up stairs with Sam close behind.
Mercedes told the two guys to set up a pillow and blanket pallet for the kids in the family's den in front of the T.V, while Stacie and she popped popcorn and made hot coco.
When both groups where done with their task they all piled into the den around the television. Mercedes handed Sam the DVD to put on, and watched his eyes light up when he noticed she had handed him the special edition of Star Wars, the Empire Strikes Back. She giggled as he bound over to the DVD player and put in the movie. Stacie and Steven lounged on the pallet, while Sam and Mercedes snuggled on the couch.
By the time the movie was over, the two children where fast asleep, tired out from their earlier actives. Sam quietly turned off the television, as Mercedes collected all of the dishes from around the room. Tip toeing around the children so she didn't wake them.
When she collected everything, she walked into the kitchen, placing the dishes in the sink. Sam followed her into the room, and headed straight for his room door. "Hey" he whispered to her to get her attention. She turned to find him opening the basement door, nodding that he wanted her to go down stairs. She smirked and walked down to his room, with him following behind her, making sure to close his door behind him.
When he reached the bottom of his stairs, he found Mercedes standing next to his desk, leaning on the back of his chair. "What's up?" she questioned as he reached the last step.
"Nothing. Just wanted you all to my self for a while" Sam smiled as he wrapped his arms around her waist. She giggled as she traced her arms up to his shoulders. She rose to her toes and brushed a kiss to his full plump lips.
"Thanks again for today "Cedes. The kids really had fun" he smiled as he looked into her large brown eyes.
"Oh don't act like it was only Stevie and Stacie out there having a ball" Mercedes giggled. "I saw you grinning as you made that huge snow angle"
Sam blushed which made her giggle grow into a laugh. "Oh so you want to tease me now huh?" he questioned with a chuckle. With that he began to tickle Mercedes sides. She backed away laughing, which made him chase her, while he still poked her ticklish spots.
Mercedes collapsed onto Sam's bed, in a crumpled ball of laughter. She rolled to her back as he hovered over her, his hands on each side of her head. She looked up at him and reached up and lightly brushed his hair out of his eyes while giggling "Sorry" apologizing for her light ribbing.
Sam smiled down at her. He lowered himself, placing his lips against hers. Her smile, retracted into a light pucker, as she kissed him back. He lifted himself to look back into her eyes. Her lips drew back into a smile, loving the face he made when he looked at her. She raised her hand to his cheek, lightly caressing him with the back of her hand. She reached around to his neck and gently pulled him down to her for another kiss. This one was deeper, as she nibbled on his bottom lip. He exhaled, allowing her to slip her tongue into his mouth. He accepted it willingly, as he lightly massaged it with his own. Both of their breath quickened as they kissed. Mercedes slipped off her slippers as she scooted back, farther onto Sam's bed. Unwilling to break their connection, Sam followed her, slipping out of his slippers, and crawling after her.
By the time they settled onto the bed, Mercedes head was resting on a set of Sam's pillows, her back planted on his sheet covered mattress. Sam was lying on his left side, his left hand propping him up while his right hand was lightly caressing her face. He pulled away from her, to survey where they landed. He smiled at her, as he slowly traced his fingers along her collar bone up to her full lips. She calmly placed feather light kisses on his finger tips, which stirred a slight arousal in him. She sighed as she caught her breath, in an attempt to allow her heart to slow down. He reached in and kissed her, as his hand slid back to her collar bone. He lightly licked her lips, and nibbled on her bottom one. She slightly opened her mouth allowing his tongue access to her mouth, greeting it with her own. As they kissed, Sam didn't notice that his hand instinctively glided down the front of her shirt. Before he noticed, his hand was planted firmly on her left breast. He realized his action when Mercedes breath hitched at the sensation. Like a child that touched a hot stove, he quickly pulled his hand off of her and pulled away from her. "Oh sorry" he genuinely apologized holding his hand up in the air, hoping he hadn't offended her.
Mercedes giggled lightly "its okay" as she attempted to yet again catch her breath.
Sam's mind began to race, wondering what she meant. "Does she mean "its okay" she forgives me or "its okay" for me to touch her there?" he thought to himself. "Because it's cool if she means the first one, but it would be amazing if she meant the second one."
Mercedes giggled to herself, as she watched him think, wondering what he could be concentrating on so hard. After a second or two she became impatient, and reached up with her left hand and placed it on the back of his neck. She gently pulled him to her, so that he would resume kissing her. Sam obliged her physical request, but kept his hand in its raised position, still unsure what to do with it. Sensing his confusion, and without breaking their kiss, Mercedes reached over to his hand and gently pushed it down to its original resting spot, on her breast.
"OHHHHHHHH" Sam thought to himself as his eyes opened wide. "Well this is awesome" he thought as he began to kiss her deeply. He lightly sucked on her lips as he gently massaged her breast. He was amazed, seeing as that he never got this far with Quinn. Whenever he attempted, she would stiffen and stop them, mumbling something about wine coolers, Puck, or stretch marks. With Santana, he had gotten this far once. However, she constantly told him he was doing it wrong and his touch was too rough. Even when he lightened it, she would still say he was horrible with his "big clumsy man hands".
He enjoyed being this close to Mercedes and wanted to make sure she enjoyed it too. It was as if he was seeing an all new side of her, that he was sure existed, but wasn't sure when or if he would see it. He lightly gripped her breast in his hand mentally taking a survey of its volume and softness. Although he was grateful to get this far with his girlfriend, he determined he couldn't be sure of what she really felt like, unless he got closer. With that his hand slipped off of her breast, down to her stomach. He continued his path down her body until he reached the bottom of her shirt, where it met the top of her sweatpants.
Mercedes opened her eyes mid kiss and raised her head slightly, wondering where Sam was going with his new line of touching. She felt him lift the bottom of her shirt, and slid his hand underneath it. Even though she kept kissing him, her mind began to race.
"Oh no" she thought in a slight panic. She was ready for second base over her shirt, but she wasn't expecting him to go this far. It's not that she didn't want his touch; on the contrary, she wanted it so much she craved it. It was just that she had never been this far with any boy. She had allowed Shane to get to second base, over the shirt, maybe twice out of their one year relation. But he never got under her shirt. She also knew Sam dated Quinn and Santana in the past, two girls who where smaller than her. She had a fear that he would touch her, realize that she wasn't their size, and become turned off by her. It wasn't that she didn't love her body. No, she had learned long ago to embrace her curves. She just wasn't sure anyone else, including Sam, would love it too.
Sam's hand slowly slid up her shirt, lightly caressing her side, as he kissed her deeply. Mercedes stiffened a bit; scared he would at any moment decide he didn't want her anymore. He noticed he gestured and thought "goodness she is so ticklish". Even though he enjoyed tickling her, to hear her laugh, the sound of her giggle brought him a joy he never thought it would. However, it wasn't the kind of touch he wanted to give her at that moment. So he decided to slide his hand towards the center of her stomach, an area he figured would be much less ticklish. He lightly glided his finger tips to the center of her torso. Mercedes began to secretly panic. "Oh no not the stomach" she screamed in her head. Even though she was physically kissing Sam, her mind was extremely mindful of wherever his hand was, and what he could possibly be thinking. She mentally prepared herself for him to want to stop after touching her there, and how she would try to get up and leave without totally hating him for being turned off.
Sam however continued to touch her, lightly stretching out her shirts, as he gently caressed her stomach. "Gosh she is so soft" he thought as he lightly sucked on her bottom lip, while he focused on the sensations under his fingers. "And her skin is so smooth, like silk" he smiled internally as he took in how she felt. He slowly planted his hand two inches above her navel. "Gosh she-"
"Feel so good" he sighed against her lips.
"What?" Mercedes questioned, pulling away from him slightly.
Sam began to panic, when he realized that his inside thought had become an outside statement. "Uh" he stammered "You feel so good" he sighed with a weak smile. "IDIOT!" he screamed to himself "She's going to think you're an even bigger dork! Dang, Santana was right; I'm not smooth at all!"
Mercedes smiled warmly at her boyfriend. She batted her big brown eyes as she whispered "Thank you". Sam smiled wide and nuzzled her nose with his, and placed light kisses on her lips. He breathed a sigh of relief that he hadn't ruined the mood with his out burst. Mercedes relaxed and breathed deep, knowing that he loved the feel of her. She caressed his jaw lightly tracing her fingers down his neck down to his chest.
Sam slowly moved his kisses from her lips down to her neck. He slowly breathed her in as he slid moist kisses around her neck. At the same time, he slid his hand up to her left breast. He gently rubbed his large hand over her chest, loving how soft and warm it felt. As his hand went from the area that was covered by her cup, to the section that was open skin, he grew excited by her body. "Oh yeah this is MUCH better" he thought as he smiled.
He moved his hand over her fabric covered nipple causing it to stiffen to his touch. A moan escaped her chest, thorough to her parsed lips. She froze shock by the noise she just made. "Oh gosh. He's going to think I make wolf sounds now" she slightly panicked. "I hope he didn't hear that" she wished as she closed her eyes.
Unfortunately for her he had. He quickly lifted his head and gazed in her eyes, excited that his touch had caused her to make that or any pleasurable noise. "Yes! That means I'm doing it right" he beamed in his head proudly. He planted a deep kiss onto her lips, and began to massage her breast even more determined to make her repeat the sound.
Sam then reached up to her bra strap, and lightly hooked his finger underneath it. He then gently traced his finger down her shoulder, pulling her strap with his hand. He then slid his hand back to her breast. He placed his fingers at the top of her bra cup. He moved his lips back to hers in a deep kiss, as he prepared to slide his fingers under her bra, to enjoy her breast in all of its glory when….
"Sam, are you down there?" Steven called as he knocked on his door.
Both teens froze like two deer in headlights. Sam pulled away from Mercedes, but never moved his hand from the precipice of her bare breast.
"Yeah buddy, don't come down here though! Um we're just looking for something" Sam yelled up to his younger brother.
"What you looking for?" Steven questioned
Mercedes began to giggle at the awkward conversation. She quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
"A-A-A board game" Sam shouted up his voice cracking from the frustration. This caused Mercedes to giggle even more.
"All of the games are up here in the hall closet" Steven observed with an obvious tone in his voice.
"I'm looking for a special one" Sam yelled quickly up becoming even more frustrated, wishing his younger brother was old enough to take a hint. Mercedes hearing his frustration started to laugh harder, but muffled it with the pillow that was under her head.
"We're hungry" Stacie called, making her presents known at the door.
"Okay guy's we'll be up in a second. Just go turn on the T.V. and wait for us" Sam yelled up to his siblings.
"Okay" they called back in unison. With that the teens heard two pairs of feet tumble away from the door.
"Okay where were we?" Sam smiled as he tried to forget his younger siblings interrupting them, his hand still ready to free her breast from its cup.
Mercedes moved the pillow from her mouth, and sighed "We were getting up"
"Uh NO!" Sam sighed disappointed. "Come on "Cedes! Their up stairs watching T.V. and we're down here…. All alone" He tried to reach in and kiss her, but she turned her head, and sighed "Nope come on lets go"
Sam groaned as he lost his grip on her bra, as she slid his hand from under her shit. He flopped back on the bed. He quickly rolled over to his opposite side, when he noticed you could see exactly how excited he had gotten during their make out session.
Mercedes sat up, reaching under her shirt, she slid her bra strap back into it original position. She then stood up from his bed while she fixed her hair, making sure her pony tail wasn't" too messed up. Finally she pulled her shirt down to its original position, hoping it wasn't too stretched out from Sam's roaming hand.
Sam sat on the side of his bed, attempting to clam himself down. When he got the feeling back to his feet, he stood up, and adjusted himself. Both of the teens walked to the end of his bed and slipped back on their slippers.
Sam grabbed Mercedes arm before she headed back up stairs. She turned to him, as he wrapped his arms around her waist. He looked down into her eyes, then down to her chest and smiled. "Still the best snow day in history" he grinned. She giggled and lightly slapped his chest as he pulled her close for a hug.
She turned and started walking up stairs. He watched as her cheeks swayed and danced under her sweatpants. "And once I conquer the range in the front, I have a bigger one to climb in the back" he thought to himself with a sly smile. Mercedes suddenly paused and with out turning around stated "Stop look at my behind Mr. Evans" Sam lowered his eyed as like a child who was caught with his hand in a cookie jar. Then he looked up surprised. "Hey. How did you-"
"A girl just knows" Mercedes giggled as she opened the basement door.
When she reached the top, Mercedes headed to the den to find the children in front of the television.
"You guys hungry?" Mercedes questioned. Both children looked at her and nodded in the affirmative. "Well how about warm tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches?" she suggested with a smile. Both children agreed with her suggestion, with a smile. "Okay, I'll call you guys when it's ready" she said with a smile and headed back into the kitchen.
As Mercedes cooked, Sam stood on the other side of the kitchen, leaning against the counter, watching her every move. He smiled at how even when she did simple task she did it with a grace and flair that astounded him.
"Hey Sam" Mercedes called to him, breaking him from his day dream
"Yes ?" he questioned with a smile
"Can you set the table and get the kids in here to eat?" Mercedes asked as she turned to smile at her boyishly handsome boyfriend.
"Eye eye" he replied. Mercedes giggled to herself as she watched him move around her, grabbing plates, bowls and spoons. As goofy as he was, she found Sam absolutely adorable.
After lunch, the group played a rousing game of Sorry, and Operation. The children especially got a kick out of Sam, whenever he got electrocuted, he would over dramatize it, pretending to pass out after removing the tweezers. Whenever he did this, Steven and Stacie would fall over in laughter at their older brother.
Around 3:30pm Mercedes packed her bag to head home. After a long good by from Stacie and a big squeeze from Steven, Sam escorted his girlfriend to the car.
"You now you can stay for dinner" Sam suggested, not ready to call their day over yet.
"Thanks but I should be headed home before my parents get back" she sighed as she placed her bag on the passenger side of the car.
"Yeah, "Cedes about that" Sam sighed "When are you going to tell them?"
Mercedes sighed, knowing that this conversation would come up soon. They had been through the whole "Secrete Love" situation, where they keep their relationship from everyone in their life. They both agreed that they didn't want to do that again, and felt that total transparency would be their plan of action this time around.
"Soon" she answered not really wanting to tell Sam the total truth that she didn't know exactly when she was going to tell her parents.
Sensing her reluctance Sam questioned "How soon?"
"I don't know Sam. Soon" she sighed not wanting this conversation to ruin the day they just had together.
"Well "Cedes we both said no more sneaking around" he reasoned wrapping her in his arms. "And with the way I feel about you I want the world to know your mine" he smiled. "And that includes your parents"
Mercedes snuggled into his arms and sighed breathing him in. She loved to be in this position. "I know Sammy. And I promise soon. Like very soon" she smiled.
Sam looked down at his girl and kissed her lightly. "Okay. I'll call you later tonight?" he smiled.
"You better" she joked. They gave each other their finial goodbye kisses, and Mercedes climbed into her car, thinking when would the best time to tell her parents that she was officially Samuel Evan's girl.
