Mercedes felt so bad and embarrassed about what happened. Sam was livid at first but they talked it through and decided they would start making time for each other so that things like that wouldn't happen. If someone told her a year ago this would have been her life she would call them crazy. Things back home in Lima, Ohio were a bit more calmer but they were adjusting. She laughed to herself as she read a text message Sam sent her which was a poem inviting her to their first away game.
"Must be some text message!"
"Huh?" Mercedes snapped out of lala land to look over at her lab partner Mike. He was one of the only med students who spoke to her on a regular.
"Was that Sam?" Mike asked removing his goggles and looking at her. She blushed and put her phone away. "I'll take that as a yes!" He said laughing.
"Yeah he was just inviting me to his first away game." She said proudly.
"Must be cool being able to go to those games. Dating a football player and all!"
"It has it's perks and flaws too!"Mercedes said replacing her goggles. "Yeah I go to these games and all but I also gotta deal with groupies and this group he had me join. The Sunbeam's... ugh!"
"What's wrong with them?" He asked laughing at her rolling her eyes. Mercedes decided to tell him what they convinced her to do and how she got caught in the worst way. "Wow... I can understand your embarrassment... but you're hot so I'm sure Sam was jealous, right?" Mike added making Mercedes blush.
"Well not exactly! He was mad! But we made up and I guess that's why he invited me to go but I'm not going to go." Mercedes said putting her goggles back on.
"Why not?"
"I really need to study. You know how hard this is. I don't have the luxury of just winging it."Mercedes said feeling defeated. On one side she wanted to be supportive and on the other side she wanted to succeed. "If I was smart like you I'd pull it off."
"You are smart and if you want I can tutor you for the test since you're not going to the game!" Mike offered. Mercedes was unsure if that was a good idea but she thought about it and racked her brain before agreeing.
"I have to talk to Sam about it first!" She decided to say instead.
"Cool... just call me and we'll set it up!"
Mercedes knew she needed his help but she knew Sam needed her there at the game. She was hoping that when she got home he was in a good mood so that they can talk about it maturely.
Sam was still getting joked on for what happened with Mercedes in the locker room. He took it in stride but deep down it was bugging him. He had no problem taking jokes on himself but when it came to his girl he was protective. He hated that the guys got to see Mercedes that way. She was looking sexy as hell and he wanted to punch their eyes out to make sure they couldn't enjoy her view but he needed his job. Mercedes felt bad too and he knew she meant well so to cheer her up he invited her to the game. She replied that they'd talk about it later.
"There's my number 1 client!" Sam placed the weights he was lifting down to turn and see Quinn his image consultant walking his way. "Are you ready for your first away game?" She asked.
"Yup!" Sam said flashing her a genuine smile. He liked Quinn she handled her job well. She helped him with his image and branding, although it wasn't much at that point. Sam noticed the fellas looking at her especially Puck.
"I'll have all your things ready before you leave."she said sauntering away. All the guys stopped talking as they watched her sashay away in her tight gray pencil skirt with her blond hair swaying as she walked. She smiled at each as she walked away.
"Rookie, you hitting that?"
"No way! Mercedes is the only one for me!"
"After what we saw I can understand man!" Artie said giving Sam high five.
"Well imma definitely try to get all up on that if you don't mind!" Puck continued. "I would have seven babies with her, man!"
"You know nothing about making babies!" Artie said as he began to lift weights. The locker room erupted with laughter at Puck.
"Your mother thinks differently!" Puck added as the locker room erupted again. Sam laughed at their jokes as he continued to lift weights as well. "But seriously Sam, hook me up!"
"Look hook yourself up! I'm not into Quinn! I love my girlfriend! That's why I invited her to the away game!" Sam stated proudly.
"Whoaaaaa rookie!" Artie said putting the weights away.
"You do not invite wives or girlfriends to the away games!"Puck added. "You're trying to get people killed. The away games is when the fellas get the hoochies!"
"I don't want them! I just want my Mercedes!" Sam said again looking at them. They can push him around on everything bit not on his relationship. That's where he drew the line.
"It's not a request? Your girl can't come! Period!"
"Look, I feel you Sam but it really is a bad idea OK!" Artie added. Sam saw the sincerity in his eyes and realized he had to tell Mercedes she couldn't come after all. He hoped she was in a good mood when he got home.
"Babe, are you home?" Mercedes asked as she entered their apartment. She could hear he was in their bedroom talking with someone. She placed her keys and purse on the table and headed for the room. Then she heard the laughter of someone she couldn't stand. Quinn Fabray! Although Sam was totally oblivious to the fact that Quinn wanted Sam, Mercedes saw right threw her. She was always flirting with him and it irked her to the core. The problem was... the girl was good at her job so she couldn't really ask Sam to let her go.
"Mercedes I'm in here with Quinn talking about the away game." He said as they walked out. "She was just giving me ideas of what to wear..."
"I'm sure!" Mercedes said rolling her eyes.
"Mercedes it's really nice seeing you again. You're looking well!" Quinn stated before grabbing her purse. "I hate to run but I gotta go get things rolling."
"Drive safe!" Mercedes said mimicking her voice. Sam looked at Mercedes in shock as he closed the door behind Quinn.
"What is wrong with you?"
"I don't like her!"
"Baby, we've talked about this." Sam said rolling his eyes in frustration. He walked over to her and hugged her from behind kissing the nape of her neck. "You don't have to worry about Quinn!"
"Okay Sam!" Mercedes said smiling. "I brought some takeout for dinner. Thought we can talk about this away game." When she mentioned it she felt Sam stiffen up and he loosened his hold around her. "Every thing OK?" Mercedes asked as she made his plate. She eyed him as he sat down.
"Well I mentioned to the fellas about you coming and was told wives weren't allowed."
"Well I'm just your girlfriend...so..."
"Mercedes, we're practically married! We argue like em! You know what they meant!" Sam said looking at her. She pushed his plate to him then prepared her own. "Look, you make my plate for me..."
"Then why haven't you put a ring on it?"
"You said we weren't ready!"
"That was in high school Sam!" She replied before they both broke out laughing. They fell silent as they realized they were joking on something very important. "Look Sam, it's okay! I was actually going to tell you if you'd be okay with me staying."
"Really?" Sam asked looking at her. Mercedes avoided his eyes as she continued to play with her food. "You didn't want to go?"
"No... no... I wanted to go. I want to support you and all! I just have so much studies and Mike told me he'd tutor me..."
"Who's Mike?" Sam said dropping his fork. Mercedes was startled by the loudness of his fork hitting the glass table.
"Sam! You could have broke the table!"
"Damn the table Mercedes! Who's this Mike guy?"
"Sam... calm down! He is a classmate! The more he helps me the better things will get for us. I won't be so stressed about my grades." Mercedes explained. She watched Sam calm down and analyze the details in his mind. She smiled at how cute he got when he was really trying figure things out. She reached over and touched his hand. "He's just a classmate!"
"Do I get to meet him?"
The day Sam was going away had came and Mercedes was sad that she was going to be without him. He promised to call when he could. And that next game she was coming no matter what the guys say. She knew he was just saying that so she didn't make a big deal. She sent Mike a text letting him know she was open for the study session if the offer was still on the table. He quickly responded that it was. She was just about to text the address when the bell rang.
"Coming!" She shouted as she ran to the door. She opened it and saw Quinn standing there with her suitcase and dressed to kill in a nice pantsuit.
"Mercedes, how are you?"
"Quinn!"
"Ummm, did I miss Sam already?" Quinn asked looking behind Mercedes as if he was hiding. Mercedes looked her up and down then focused on the suitcase.
"He left already!" She replied.
"Ohhh well guess I'll see him there!" She said turning away.
"Excuse me? You're going to the away game?"
Quinn turned around slowly and smiled at Mercedes and walked back. "I go to all the away games!" Then she turned and walked away. Mercedes stood there on shock.
"Ohhhhhhhhh hell to no!" She said slamming the door. "Guess who else is going too!" Mercedes said heading to her room to pack.
