A NEW START
. It was the night of the show and the performance was great. Everybody did an excellent job and Artie was pleased. Blaine threw the cast party at his house. Mercedes and Mike were not going to go but Artie insisted they did.
"You guys worked just as hard as the cast to make this production great" he said "you have to come."
"Ok" Mike said looking at Mercedes "we'll come but we can't stay long we got an early flight in the morning."
"That's fine" Artie said "as long as you show your face in the place."
The party was going great and everybody was dancing and having a good time. Mike was showing off his moves and Jake was matching him move for move and that truly impressed Mike. After a few more songs Mike went to cool off. He glanced at Mercedes as he slipped out to the backyard. He stood there for a minute taking in the cool breeze when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Not opening his eyes he smiled;
"I knew you would catch the hint-" he turned and was shocked to see "Tina what are you doing out here?"
"I was looking for you" she said "and what hint you talking about?"
"Nothing" he said "why were you looking for me?"
"I wanted to apologize to you."
"Why?"
"Because I was very rude to you since the first day you got here and that was un-called for."
"It was" he said "but I understand and I do forgive you."
They stood there in complete silence for what seemed like hours when Mike broke the silence.
"Is that all?"
"Yes" she said and turned to walk away but stopped "no it's not Mike I still love you and I can't turn my feeling for you off. I tried to get over you but I can't. We were together for two years and I just can't get over you in one summer."
Mike was stunned at hearing her confession. He just knew she was over him by her actions. Why would she tell me this now? She was the one who broke up with me. She was the one who moved on and got a boyfriend. She was the one who sang about how happy she was without me. His thoughts were broken when he heard Tina talking.
"Mike please say something" she said "anything please."
"Honestly Tina I don't know what to say right now."
"Tell me you still love me."
"Tina I do still love you."
"Oh Mike I knew you did" she said jumping in his arms and hugging him.
"But I'm not in love with you anymore" he said pulling away from their embrace.
"W-What?" she stammered through her tears "you just said-"
"I said I love you which I do and I always will" he said "but I'm not in love with you anymore. We've grown apart and I think if at all we should be friends."
"Friends Mike" she spat "you want to be friends; we can't be friends Mike because we don't know how to do that."
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"We were never friends" she said "before you joined glee club we were not friends. After you joined glee club we still were not friends. We went from not speaking to dating so I don't know how to be your friend."
"Well maybe we can try."
"I don't think so Mike" she said "it's either all or nothing with me."
"I'm sorry you feel that way Tina" he said "I would have liked being your friend."
She turned to walk away again and stopped;
"Is it someone else?"
"Excuse me?" he asked.
"Is the reason you have fallen out of love with me because there is someone else?"
"Yes there is someone else" he said.
She dropped her head and took a deep breath "well I hope she does everything I couldn't to make you happy."
"Tina don't do that" he said grabbing her hand "you always made me happy. It's just we are now in different places in our lives and we just don't work anymore."
"I still think we can Mike if we try" she said.
"What about Joe?"
"Joe" she said.
"Yes Joe your boyfriend" he said "dude with the dreads."
"Joe is sweet and he is good to me but there is no spark between us like we had."
"So why are you with him?"
"Because you left me Mike" she said "I was lonely and hurt and he was nice to me and made me feel better."
"Well if he is good to you then maybe you should give him a real shot because if you are still harboring these feelings for me then you really never gave him a chance."
"I know" she said dropping her head "and maybe your right, I do like being around him and like I said he is good to me."
"As long as he's good to you" Mike said "and if he ever mistreats you I'll come back and kick his ass because that's what friends do."
"Even after I was an ass to you."
"I knew where it was coming from and I would never be an ass to you" he said reaching out to give her a hug "because I love you Tina and I always will."
"So will I Mike" she said returning the hug "I better get back in there and find Joe and start being his girlfriend for real."
"He got a good one I hope he knows that."
She smiled and went back to the party. Mike slid his fingers through his hair and let out a sigh. He knew he was over Tina but just talking to her made him think about why he fell in love with her in the first place. During the conversation he saw bits and pieces of the old Tina and it was messing with his head. He decided to just shake it off and go back in and enjoy the night. As he walked in he ran right into Mercedes.
"Hey I was looking for you."
"I just stepped outside for a bit" he said "I needed some air."
"Well I was coming to see if you were ready to go since it is almost midnight."
"Wow really" he said "we we're supposed to have been gone."
"I know right" she said "I guess we really enjoy spending time with our friends."
"I guess we do" he said "so you ready to go?"
"Yeah let's go."
They said goodbye to their friends and headed to Mike's place. The ride was quiet and Mike seemed to be a bit off. Mercedes noticed it too.
"Mike is everything ok?"
"Yeah Cedes everything is fine."
"You're very quiet?"
"Just tired I guess."
"Ok" she said not wanting to press the issue. She dropped him off and with a quick kiss to her cheek he went inside. Mercedes knew it was something wrong then but she was too tired to deal with it right then but she knew they will have a discussion about it.
That next morning Mercedes and her mom drove to pick Mike up and head to the airport. Once on the plane it was silence again.
"Mike is there something going on with you?" Mercedes said.
A little shocked at her tone "no I'm good Cedes."
"Something seems a little off about you?"
"I'm fine" he snapped "just drop it."
"Fine Mike whatever" she said grabbing her IPOD turning on her music.
Mike sighed and put his hands on his face. Why was he snapping on Mercedes? She didn't do anything to him but check on him. What was his problem? He knew what it was and he knew he needed to talk to Mercedes about it.
He grabbed her hand and looked at her hoping she would return the look. When she did he motioned her to take her ear buds out.
"Mercedes I'm sorry for snapping at you like that it was so un-called for."
"It was" she said folding her arms.
"I guess I got some things on my mind and I just let it out on you."
"You just can't talk to me about it?" she asked.
"I don't really know what I'm trippin about" he said "I'm just trying to figure it out in my head."
"Well maybe I can help if you let me."
"It's about Tina" he said sheepishly.
"Ok what about her?" she asked nonchalantly.
"We talked last night and I had some mixed feelings going on in my head and I don't know why."
"Because you love her" she said.
Mike's eyes got wide as he looked at Mercedes why would she say that? Yeah it was true but how did she know?
"Mike you and Tina were together for two years and if you didn't have those types of feelings for her I would be extremely worried."
"Yeah but I am over Tina so I thought" he said "but why after one conversation am I having all these thoughts and memories?"
"It's called closure" she said "you guys never had a real reason why you broke up and whatever you guys talked about gave you that. You had a good relationship for two years and of course you have memories that pop up from time to time and that's ok."
"It is?" he asked.
"Yes" she said "that has no bearing on the relationship you're in now. She was you're first love and that's special."
"Yeah I guess so" he said.
"Listen Mike remember how you told me I could talk to you about anything even Sam."
"Yeah."
"Well that goes both ways" she said "you can talk to me about Tina."
He leaned over and gave her a kiss "thank you Cedes."
"You're welcome" she said "oh and Mike."
"Yeah Cedes."
"If you ever snap on me like that again" she said "I will be forced to have a diva bitch fit all over your skinny ass."
Mike swallowed hard "I got it."
"Good" she said "now I'm going to shut my eyes for a few because I am extremely tired."
"Yeah me too" he said "I think I'll join you."
They fell into a peaceful sleep holding hand.

Back in LA Mike and Mercedes relationship was going strong. They still hadn't told their friends about them because they were so happy in their own little world. They would go out dancing some nights and sometimes just stay in and enjoy each other. Mike had made good on his promise to make things more romantic between them. He would never hesitate to bring Mercedes flowers just because and he even cooked for her some nights. She loved all the things he would do and she found herself thinking of Sam less and less even though he was trying to make it difficult for her. Sam would constantly text, call, and E-mail her. She would constantly ignore his calls and delete his text and E-mail's without reading them. She tried to be nice and tell him they were done but he didn't stop.
~Flashback~
"Sam I told you to stop calling me" she said "you are dating Brittney and you need to respect that."
"Mercedes I told you I don't love Brittney" he said "I love you and I want you back."
"Well guess what Sam you can't always get what you want. I have moved on and I don't want you back."
"You moved on?" he asked "so you're dating someone else?"
As much as she wanted to say yes and get him off her back she knew the next question would be who and she could never lie to him because he knew when she would lie even over the phone but she wondered would it be so bad to tell him about Mike? But then she would have to tell Tina and she was not ready to deal with that yet "just because I said I moved on doesn't mean I am dating someone. It simply means I am not pining after you anymore. I am happy with my life and it does not include you. So can you please just stop calling me and texting me about how much you love and miss me?"
"I'm just telling you the truth Mercy" he said "I can't help how I feel about you and you can't change that even if you moved on, which I am not sure I believe you have."
"Sam I don't know how many ways to tell you that we're done but we are and I honestly don't care how you feel. So please stop calling me and be a good boyfriend to Brittney."
"Mercy please don't say we're through."
"Why not Sam just a few months ago you did?" she said getting angrier at his persistence.
"And I regret that I did" he said.
"Well I can't help your regrets Sam, all I can do is do what you did move on."
"And what am I supposed to do Mercy?"
"Live with your regrets I guess, good bye Sam" she said hanging up the phone.
~End of Flashback~
Mercedes was laying on Mike's chest and they were watching a movie when her phone rang. She looked at it and sighed;
"Sam again?" Mike asked.
"Yeah" she said "he just won't stop calling."
"Babe I know I said I wasn't gonna trip about Sam and his plan to try and get you back but he is bugging the hell outta me with his constant calling and texting."
"Yeah me too babe" she said "I'm about to block his number.
"Maybe you should because is apparent he does not get the fact that you're done with him."
"I think he gets it but he thinks just because this worked the last time he can get me back again but this time I have moved on to someone I really like and not a-"
"Bulldozer" Mike said.
"I was going to say convenient boyfriend but yes a bulldozer" she said laughing "the only reason I haven't blocked his number is because I would still like to be his friend because at one point he was my best friend."
"I understand that I just wish he would get a clue because if he doesn't I am going to have to kick his ass."
"Let's hope it doesn't get to that point babe" she said "you have no need to trip because he can call all he wants I am here with you and there is nowhere else I would rather be."
"This has been a great three months with you baby and I am so happy we got together."
"So am I babe you have been my light in this dreary time and in this lonely city."
He leaned in and kissed her passionately when her phone vibrated alerting her that she had a text. They both laughed as she threw her phone across the room and grabbed him for another sultry kiss.

Thanksgiving was coming up and Mercedes and Mike knew it was going to be round 2 with the exes and it was not something they were looking forward to. Even though Mike and Tina had reached a friendly place in their relationship he was more anxious about Sam. He was seriously falling for Mercedes and he knew she was falling for him but his insecurities about their history sometimes messed with his head. He saw the way Sam went after Mercedes last year and he knew he was not going to stop now, especially since he didn't know that he and Mercedes are dating now. Mercedes did her best to reassure Mike that she was over Sam but in the back of his mind he still had his doubts. After he was finished packing he locked his place up and headed to Mercedes apartment where he was going to stay the night and they would leave in the morning.
"Hey babe you in here?" he called out.
"Yeah I'm in my room" she said "come here."
Mike headed to her room and noticed the candles lit around her room and he saw her standing there in a red bra and panty set and a pair of red pumps. His eyes bugged out of his head and his jaw dropped.
"M-Mercedes w-what…..I-I'm…..y-you…."
"You like what you see?"
"Oh yeah" he choked out "you look amazing."
"Why thank you" she said "so why are you standing all the way over there? Why don't you come over here and get a better look."
He nodded his head and began to walk over toward her. When he was standing in front of her he just stared at the vision that was Mercedes Jones.
"Do you know how gorgeous you are?" he asked.
Hearing him ask that she began to feel a little self-conscious about her standing half-naked in front of him but she quickly shook that thought from her head when she looked and saw pure desire in his eyes. He wanted her and his eyes said it.
"You are pure perfection" he said.
"You are so sweet Mike and you make me feel sexy."
"You should feel sexy everyday" he said "because every time I see you, you look sexy."
"Well why don't you show me how sexy you think I am" she said in her sexiest voice.
"It will be my pleasure" he said wrapping his hands around her waist pulling her in for a kiss that stirred her soul and made her whole body tingle. He lifted her up bridal style and carried her to the bed and laid her down and he took off his shirt and pants and joined her in the bed. He continued to kiss her lips, her neck, her collarbone, her breast, and her stomach. She moaned and whimpered at his touch. She slid her hand down his chest and across his abs. He hissed at the feel of her nails raking across his body. He removed her bra and began sucking and massaging her breast taking her pert nipple into his mouth. He slid his hand down in her panties to her already wet core;
"Mmm baby you are already wet for me" he said "I like that."
"You see what you do to me baby" she said.
"Let me show you what you do to me" he said grinding his erection into her.
"Mmm Mike I like what I do to you" she said "wait till I show you what I'm gonna do with that."
"Damn Cedes you are so sexy."
He slid her panties off and went on between her thighs and slid his index finger inside her and pulled it out and wiped her essence on her lips and then he kissed it off.
"Damn Mike you are sexy" she said licking her lips.
He went back and began to devour her core. He licked and sucked her clit sliding two fingers inside her.
"SHIT MIKE THAT FEEL SO GOOD BABY I'M ABOUT TO CUM."
"Cum for me baby I want to taste you some more."
He began to thrust faster and suck harder on her clit. Mercedes began bucking her hips and her legs started to shake and she was about to fall apart one more thrust and she was gone.
"OOOOoooOO MMMMIIiiIIKKKKEEeEE!."
Mile lapped her juices that flowed for him and he cherished every drop. Mercedes tried to catch her breath.
"That was amazing" she said "but now it's my turn."
Mike smiled and knew exactly what to do. He turned and laid on his back. She removed his boxers and released his erection. She licked her lips at the sight of his hard dick pointing at her. She licked up and down his entire dick before sliding it in her warm mouth. Mike hissed at the feeling of being engulfed in her mouth. She began to suck the head of his dick like it was a lollipop.
"Fuck Cedes that's feels so damn good."
She loved hearing him say her name in pleasure and that makes her go deeper and harder. She massages his balls while sucking his dick like a vacuum. He knew he was close but he didn't want to cum yet so he pulled her up to him handed her the condom and she slid it on him. Then he put her on his lap so she can ride him and she did just that. She slid up and down his dick and he moaned with every movement she made. She got faster and faster and she was close to losing it.
"FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, MIKE SHIT FEELS SO GOOD."
He flipped her over on her back and rammed his dick back inside her pussy'
"FFFFFFUUUUUCCCCCKKKK MMMMIIIKKKEEE!"
He knew a few more thrust and he knew was done so he slid his fingers back inside her and massaged her clit in between his fingers so they could cum together.
OoOooOOOO MMMMMIIIIKKKKEEEE SSSSHHHHHIIITTTTT!"
Mike was right there with her with all his expletives;
DAMMIT, FUCK, SHIT, CEDES YOU FEEL SO DAMN GOOD."
He collapsed on top of her and she held him close to her. When he felt he could walk again he got up to discard the condom. He came back and slid into bed and wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her close to him.
"Cedes that was amazing" he said "not that I'm complaining but what brought that on?"
"I was horny and I wanted my man" she said smiling.
"Ok that's cool."
"It's another reason too."
"What's that?"
"I know you were a bit worried about how I feel about Sam and our relationship and I wanted to show you how I feel about you Mike. I am so happy to be your girl I can't keep the smile off my face. I don't even know the right words to describe how much I feel about you. I couldn't figure out the right words to say but I found a song that says it all. Do you mind if I to sing it to you?"
"I would be honored" he said smiling
(Ready For Love: India Arie).
I am ready for love
Why are you hiding from me
I'd quickly give my freedom
To be held in your captivity
I am ready for love
All of the joy and the pain
And all the time that it takes
Just to stay in your good grace
Lately I've been thinking
Maybe you're not ready for me
Maybe you think I need to learn maturity
They say watch what you ask for
Cause you might receive
But if you ask me tomorrow
I'll say the same thing
I am ready for love
Would you please lend me your ear?
I promise I won't complain
I just need you to acknowledge I am here
If you give me half a chance
I'll prove this to you
I will be patient, kind, faithful and true
To a man who loves music
A man who loves art
Respect's the spirit world
And thinks with his heart
I am ready for love
If you'll take me in your hands
I will learn what you teach
And do the best that I can
I am ready for love
Here with an offering of
My voice
My Eyes
My soul
My mind
Tell me what is enough
To prove I am ready for love
I am ready
"I love you Mike and I wanted to let you know that."
Mike pulled her in for the deepest passionate kiss that he could and when he broke apart he said;
"You have no idea how long I waited for a Mercedes Jones serenade."
She smiled "you are so silly."
"I'm serious babe my heart is flipping right now."
"Well I am glad you liked it."
"No I loved it" he said "and Mercedes."
"Yes Mike."
"I love you too" he said "very much."
They kissed again which eventually turned into a steamy round two.

The next day after a great night and peaceful flight Mercedes and Mike found themselves back in the auditorium of McKinley High meeting up with all their friends from glee. They met up with Santana, Kurt, Quinn, Rachel, Puck, and Finn and sang Homeward Bound/Home and reminisced about high school days and talked about their lives away from Lima. They decided to go to Breadstix for old time sake.
"So how are these newbies in glee this year?" Quinn asked.
"There ok" Finn said "we have some work to do but they can actually win Sectionals."
"With a lot of work" Mercedes said rolling her eyes "even with the veterans there they still need a lot of help."
"Yeah I have to agree with Cedes" Mike said "when we were here for Grease we could see what they lacked in."
"They just seem a little timid when it comes to performing" Kurt chimed in.
"That is why we're glad you guys are back" Finn said "you can help me whip this glee club into the shape."
"Well if anybody do it can we can" Rachel said "we definitely know what it takes to win."
They all agreed and fell into casual conversation while eating their food. Afterwards everybody said their goodbyes and planned to meet tomorrow at glee club. Mercedes was talking to Kurt and Mike was standing back giving them their space. Puck saw Mike;
"Dude you need a ride?"
"No I rode with Cedes."
"Well she looks like she is in deep convo with Kurt so instead of waiting I can take you home."
"No it's cool man I don't mind waiting on her."
Puck looked at Mike and tilted his head "you sure?"
"Yeah I'm good" he said "see you tomorrow."
"Alright man" Puck said shaking his head and getting in his car and pulling off.
"Why did Mike just turn down a ride to wait for you?" Kurt asked.
"We came together so I guess he did not want to just ditch me" she said shrugging her shoulders "I better go since he is waiting for me."
"Are you sure that's all it is because he was extremely close to you in there."
"We were all close Kurt, the table was small."
"Uh huh" he said rolling his eyes "well I do know you two have been spending a lot of time together in LA according to Facebook and all the pictures you guys have been putting up."
"We're experiencing new things out there together and we want to document them and show them to our friends and family is that so wrong?"
"No it's not wrong at all" he said "but maybe while you two were experiencing new things some feelings developed."
Mercedes had to do everything she could to keep from telling Kurt everything. She was in love and she wanted to scream it out but she couldn't. It was just not the right time yet.
"Kurt I love you but you are making something out of nothing. Mike and I are friends and we are helping each other get through the craziness of LA."
"Ok Diva whatever you say. I'm going to go Blaine is coming over."
"Tell him I said hi."
"I will."
With that Kurt was off. Mercedes turned and looked at Mike who was smiling at her. She walked over to where he was standing "you could have taken that ride with Puck you know I wouldn't have been offended."
"And miss the precious moments of kissing the woman I love no way" he said.
"I'm glad you didn't take that ride" she said "because with this crazy week who knows how much time we will have together and I need all the time we can to love on my man."
"I know right and trust me the only ride I want is from you" he said wagging his eyebrow.
"You are so nasty" she said playfully hitting him on the arm "but I like it."
"I know you do" he said.
"Come on let's go to the car before I grab you and kiss you right here."
"How reckless of you" he said "somebody could see us."
"I know and that is why we are going to the car."
"I sort of like sneaking around its kind of fun."
"That's your ninja powers kicking in."
"Maybe you're right" he laughed.
"Come on ninja lets go" she said.
"I'm right behind you" he said "Mmmm."
She stopped and turned around and smirked "what?"
"Just checking out that ass as you walk away."
"Let me make it worth your troubles" she walked with an extra swish in her hips for him.
"Damn baby that ass should be insured for billions of dollars."
She cracked up laughing "come on boy and get in this car."

The next day in glee the veteran glee students were so excited to see their friends back and the newbies were excited to be mentored by the former glee students to get them ready for sectionals. After Finn paired everybody up the Unholy Trinity showed the group how knowing each other can help in a performance by singing Come See About Me. During their performance Mercedes got a text from Sam.
Meet me in the hall it is important ~Sam I Am
She quickly replied
No ~M
Mercy please it is important ~Sam I Am
Sam leave me alone ~M
Mercedes this is not a joke you need to meet me in the hall ~Sam I Am
Fine Sam this have better be important and not one of your games ~M
She eased out of the room to meet Sam in the hallway. When she saw him he was leaning against her old locker.
"What do you want Sam?"
I wanted to talk to you" he said "I haven't got to talk to you since you got here."
"You said it was important" she said crossing her arms.
"It is" he said "remember how I used to hang out right here waiting on you to come to this locker just to get a minute with you in between classes."
"Sam I didn't come out here to reminisce with you."
"Ok I just wanted to tell you nothing has changed I still love you."
"You're right Sam nothing has changed you're still with Brittney."
He dropped his head and stuffed his hands in his pocket.
"What you have nothing to say about that" she said "huh Sam, you love me and miss me but not enough to break up with Brittney."
"Is that all I have to do to get you back" he spat "I'll do it right now."
"There is no need for that sweetheart because I don't want you back."
"I don't believe that Mercy."
"I don't care what you believe Sam. We. Are. Done."
"No Mercy we're not done" he pinned her against the locker and leaned down and kissed her with all the passion he could muster. Wanting her to feel the love he had inside.
She finally pushed him away and slapped him with all of her might "don't you ever do that again Sam Evans."
"Mercy I'm-"
"And stop calling me that" she said "you lost that right the second you broke my heart, but guess what it's healed and from that stunt you just pulled I can finally say that I am completely, unequivocally, emphatically over you Sam Evans."
And for the first time he believed her. He turned and walked back into the choir room without looking back. Mercedes leaned against the locker with her head back and eyes closed. She didn't even notice someone standing in front of her until they cleared their throat. She opened her eyes to see Brittney standing there.
"Oh hey Brittney" she said.
"Mercedes I am done being nice to you."
"Excuse me?"
"I want you to leave Sam alone."
"Again I say excuse me?"
"You heard me" she said "leave my boyfriend alone."
"Brittney I don't want your boyfriend" Mercedes said.
"I saw you kiss him."
"Correction you saw him kiss me and if you stayed around a little longer you would have saw me push him off me and slap him."
"Whatever Mercedes I know you want Sam I mean why wouldn't you he was the best you could ever get."
"Wow, Brittney do you even remember being my friend? I mean I know how hard it is for you to remember things."
"Oh I remember but I also know better than to pass up a good thing and Sam is a good thing."
"Boo I know all Sam has to offer ok so you can't get me like that. Remember I was his first love and his first lover so please know you are picking up my sloppy seconds."
Brittney shook her head and scoffed at what Mercedes was saying.
"And let me inform you of another piece of information sweetie your "man" has been calling me for the past two months saying how much he still loves me and misses me and you know what I told him?" she asked "I told him to go back to his girlfriend and respect your relationship because unlike you Brittney I remembered you were my friend once."
Mercedes turned and walked back in the choir room just in time to hear Finn talking about versatility. Mercedes jumped right in;
"Yes Finn your right you need to be versatile in your music and style if you guys would indulge me for a few minutes I wanna show you what I mean."
Brittney finally came back in and sat next to Sam
"Please tell me you are about to bless us with a performance" Unique said with one hand on her heart and the other in the air.
"Two actually I am going to show you versatility."
"Unique has died and gone to heaven honey" she said fanning herself.
"Quinn, Santana, and Rachel a little help."
She told the band what songs;
(He Wasn't Man Enough For Me: Toni Braxton)
Listen girl
Who do you think I am?
Don't you know that he was my man?
But I chose to let him go
So why do you act like
I still care about him?
Looking at me like I'm hurt
When I'm the one who said I didn't
want it to work
Don't you forget I had him first?
[1]
What you thinkin'?
He's not playing me
He wasn't man enough for me
If you don't know now here's chance
I've already had your man
Do you wonder just where he's been, yeah?
Do not be worried about him
Now it's time you know the truth
I think he's just the man for you
She walked right in front of Brittney and Sam
[2]
What are you thinking?
Do you know about us back then?
Do you know I dumped your "husband"
girlfriend?
I'm not thinking 'bout him
But you "married" him
Do you know I made him leave?
Do you know he begged to stay with me?
He wasn't man enough for me
Listen girl
Didn't he tell you the truth?
If not then why don't you ask him?
Then maybe you can be more into him
Instead of worrying about me
And hopefully you won't find
All of the reasons why his love didn't
count And why we couldn't work it out
[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 2]
[Repeat 2]
Oh yeah So many reasons why our love is
through, yeah
What makes you think he'll be good to you, no
It makes no sense cause he will never change
Girl you better recognize the game, oh yeah
What are you thinking?
Do you know about us back then?
Do you know I dumped your "husband",
girlfriend?
I'm not thinking 'bout him
But you "married" him
Do know I made him leave
Do you know he begged to stay with me
He wasn't man enough for me
[Repeat 2 to fade]
Everybody cheered and applauded except Sam and Brittney.
"Now I know you all expect me to sing something like that so here comes the versatility something nobody expects of me."
She nodded so the band would start;
(I'm Over You: Keith Whitley)
Where there's a cloud, don't mean there's rain
Tears in my eyes, don't mean there's pain
Don't flatter yourself
I'm over you
Things aren't always what they seem
You can't believe everything you read
On my face
I'm over you
The glee club looked shocked at her song selection.
You heard I'm drinking more than I should
That I ain't been looking all that good
Someone told you I was taking it rough
Why they making those stories up
When I'm over you
Sam and Mercedes locked eyes
There were times that if you'd been around
You would have seen me broken down
But now you won't
I'm over you
Mike couldn't help the grin that spread across his face this song was for him as well. She is letting me know that she is really over Sam.
So if I seem a little bit cold
It only means you've lost the hold
You had on me
I'm over you
You heard I'm drinking more than I should
That I ain't been looking all that good
Someone told you I was taking it rough
But why they making those stories up
When I'm over you
You heard I'm drinking more than I should
That I ain't been looking all that good
Someone told you I was taking it rough
But why they making those stories up
When I'm over you
I'm over you
I'm over you
More cheers came from her glee family;
"And that is what I like to call versatility ladies and gentlemen" she said.
"Mercedes that was awesome" Finn said "and on that note we are going to end it."
Sam and Brittney could not get out of that room fast enough. Other members gave Mercedes her props and filed out of the choir room. Mike hung around to talk to her but people were lingering around so he walked over to her;
"You were great Mercedes" he said hugging her "do we need to talk later" he whispered in her ear.
"Thanks Mike" she said "nope I said everything I needed to say" she whispered in his ear.
"Aretha" Santana said "I don't appreciate the way you put the musical smack down on Britt you know I still care about her but her and Trouty deserved it for what they did."
"San I was just singing a song to prove a point."
"Mercy-mine you ain't foolin nobody" Quinn said "we all know you sing what's in your heart and Sam and Britt hurt you but apparently you are over Sam and you let Britt know you don't want him because he couldn't handle you."
Mike couldn't help but smile at what Quinn was saying.
"Yes I am over Sam and I wanted him to know that is that so wrong?"
"No it's not wrong at all Cedes" Mike said "you have the right to be happy and let the past go."
"Thank you Mike" she said.
"Speaking of going can we go now?" Puck said.
"Yes let's get out of here" Rachel said.
They all headed out when Mercedes phone buzzed;
