Mercedes decided to take her mother's advice; she wasn't going to let life pass her by. Mercedes sighed. Grabbing her keys, her hand was on the front door

knob as she struggled with an internal battle, a fake smile upon her face. Mercedes opened the door to face the

outside world she so desperately wanted to escape from.

**** Flash Back*****

"Put me down this instant!" Mercedes demanded, amusement in her voice. Sam had thrown Mercedes over his left shoulder. "No seriously, put me down before I

end up breaking your back," Mercedes ordered. She had always been a little self-conscious about her weight. She screamed in outrage after Sam slaps her ass.

"Nonsense, woman! And don't insult yourself again," Sam warned "Or I'll have to spank you." Sam growled as he rubbed his hand lovingly over Mercedes' ass. "Nice

ass, Sam," Stevie said to his brother as Sam carried Mercedes from out of their bedroom and into the living room, where he was sitting

on the couch, watching T.V. Sam gave his brother a lopsided grin as he rubbed Mercedes' ass. "I know, right?" Mercedes felt her face heat with embarrassment.

With another slap to her ass, Sam finally set Mercedes down. Mercedes glared at Sam as she sat next to Stevie

on the couch. Sam smirked. "So when are you going to Leave this nerd and be with a real man?" Stevie asked her seriously. Mercedes rolled her eyes and laughed.

"Never! Mercedes is stuck with me forever, besides, Mercy loves that I'm a nerd." Sam said proudly. "And don't forget, little brother, that this nerd can whip your

ass."

*** Flash Back Ends**

Mercedes' mind came back to reality. She was standing in line to get a cup of coffee at Star Bucks. After paying, Mercedes grabbed herself a seat, her mind

unwittingly thinking of Sam, her heart twisting painfully. "I hope he's okay...God, I miss him." Interrupting her thoughts, a man sat across from Mercedes, a

smile on his lips. His eyes were as blue as the ocean. Mercedes stared at the handsome stranger in confusion. Noticing the confused look, the

stranger introduced himself. "Hi, I'm Hayden."Mercedes didn't know why, but she had a deep feeling that this man was going to change

everything... The question is: did she want him to?
