Thanks for reading and reviewing. There's more chapters to come. I still don't own glee but at least you know in this story Samcedes is mosdef endgame and that each stepping stone (bad dates) that they go on is just inching them closer and closer to the one that they were meant for. There's no implied endgame crap here u will see them together.


Mercedes watched as her son groaned down the stairs whining about how he and Aaron were just getting into some character. She held the front door opened with her hand on her hip, letting him know she was not here for the whining. Sam slowly followed behind them then turned back around facing Mercedes. She raised an eyebrow at him and waited for him to say one more thing to her. He was obviously just trying to get in her pants. Or maybe he was one of those white guys who had a black girl fetish. Or even worst he just wanted to screw a big black girl so he can have something to talk about with his guy friends. She was not here for that at all either.

"Look Mercedes, all I am trying to do is help my son make a new friend." He explained. Mercedes listened and tried to think that he meant well but she was just not into him and she could tell he was hitting on her and not just trying to help Aaron and Jayden. "I admit that I did watch you dance earlier and it was simply because I wanted to see, honestly." He raised one hand in the air and placed the other on his chest. "I needed to see for myself how great of a dancer you were. And you were great." Mercedes couldn't help the curling of the corner of her lips. Other than Jayden, she hadn't been complimented on her dancing since her injury and that made her feel good.

"Thanks." She allowed her hand to drop from her hip as she leaned against the door. He smiled at her and she instantly felt her heart skip a beat. "Damn he is one fine ass white man." She thought to herself as her eyes lingered on his lips and then stopped at his huge hands that he was currently jamming into his pockets. Mercedes couldn't stop her mind from wondering just what he could grab with those huge hands.

"I'm sorry I made you uncomfortable with my comments and my walking in on you…" he smiled and they both chuckled for a minute. "I just get excited when I meet new people and my mind goes a mile a minute and my mouth just can't stop going."

"I get it, Sam." Mercedes giggled placing her hand on his forearm stopping him. "Girl, get a hold of yourself. Are you flirting with him?" she asked herself then pulled her hand off of him. He noticed. She could see that he noticed that she was nervous.

"I just want our sons to be friends. And maybe in the mean time we could have become friends. Nothing more. I don't want you to think I was trying to hit on you or nothing." He explained and even though Mercedes didn't want to admit that she was feeling him a bit, she hated hearing him say that.

"Oh…of course." Mercedes replied quickly and shifted back to holding the door. She looked over at Jayden and then heard her laptop ringing. "Um…well I have to go get that!" she pointed behind her. Sam smiled and nodded before taking steps back to his car. "Jayden! Inside Now!" she shouted before turning away and running towards the laptop. "Hold up Santana!" she answered and then ran back to the door. She watched as Jayden walked in closing the door behind him and locking it before running upstairs. Mercedes went back to her laptop and shook her head. "Don't you have a life other than calling me?"

"No…I don't! You know, I am still mad at you for hanging up on me earlier. I couldn't wait to get home from work and skype you so that I can see this man candy you have over there." Santana replied as she moved her head around trying to see behind Mercedes.

"He's not here…so you can stop!" Mercedes laughed as she settled in. Santana rolled her eyes and sighed loudly.

"You'll never get a man at this rate."

"Whatever! Anyway, I thought about what you said and I've been thinking maybe it was time I tried something different on the dating site." Mercedes explained. She couldn't help but think of Sam but she was starting to wonder if maybe she read him wrong. Maybe he wasn't trying to get in her pants at all.

"Screw the dating site. What about Mr. Sam Evans? Tell me about him."

"No…he's not interested plus he's white and you know I don't go that way." Mercedes replied as she logged into the dating website. "I'm going to share my screen with you. Tell me what you think of the guys that we haven't looked at." She said changing the subject quick. Santana eyed her suspiciously and then smiled.

"Damn is he that fine?"

"What are you talking about, girl?"

"I'm just saying you barely want to tell me about him."

"There's nothing to tell. He's just a regular white guy with some Macauly Culkin lips and really big hands." Mercedes scrolled through the list of messages she had till she saw one from Tank and stopped.

"Macauly Culkin lips? Big hands? Sounds like my oral pleasure wet dream qualifications list. If I wasn't gay I'd definitely tell you to slip him my number." Santana smiled then frowned when she noticed Mercedes clicking on Tank's message. "Stop! Don't even think about hitting him up. We're trying someone new for your next date." Mercedes stopped and continued to scroll until Santana said stop. "Right there…he seems cute and different. He's Asian. Tall and look…he's a dancer. Click him."

"Alright alright chill!" Mercedes laughed. She had to admit he did look really hot as she looked at his picture. She read his profile really quick then clicked on the message and read what he had to say. "Okay, I have to admit, he's really hot." Mercedes smiled as she noticed he added some more pictures of himself to his message.

"Tell him that he's hot and that you want to lick soy sauce off his abs." Santana suggested. "No make it duck sauce." She shouted. Mercedes laughed but wrote something simple and waited on a response. "Okay let's keep looking."

"Give me a minute." Mercedes replied and went back to her messages and scrolled till Santana shouted stop again. "Oh…he's definitely hot! What is he?" Mercedes asked trying to figure out his ethnicity. She looked at the picture beside the message and then read the message and laughed. "Did he just call me sexy mama?"

"He's hot, is what he is! He's got my lady loins pulsating! Hit him up asap." Santana suggested as Mercedes decided to look at his profile page.

"He looks a little mixed. That Mohawk makes him look a bit dangerous, doesn't it?"

"You're in lame-o Ohio! How dangerous can he be?" Santana asked as she started to polish her nails. Mercedes laughed and decided to send him her number.

"Alright I did it. I gave him my number." Mercedes smiled feeling proud of herself. This was major for her and she was definitely nervous. She was about to date outside of her race for the first time ever if this guy asked her out.

"So…are you going to tell me what happened with Home Alone guy or not?"

"Not!" Mercedes replied then smiled when the Mohawk guy replied. "He replied already. Wow!" she smiled.

"He sounds desperate now. Ditch him."

"Santana chill!" Mercedes laughed then her phone rang. "Oh shit! I think that's him calling me right now." She turned her phone to show Santana."

"Answer it and call me later to give me the deets."

"Alright…bye!" Mercedes logged out of skype and took a deep breath before she slid her finger across the screen. "Hello."

"Sup sexy mama!"


The next day Sam couldn't stop thinking of Mercedes and he found himself being extra nice to Jayden during P.E. Sam wondered if his plan to act like he wasn't interested in Mercedes was working. He knew pushing up on her the way he was before was putting her off so he had to try something else. She softened up a bit when he relaxed so maybe it was working, he thought to himself. He was on his way to the teacher's lounge when he was suddenly pulled into the janitor's closet and slammed against the door.

"I've missed you." He heard the voice say then he heard the lights flicker on. He forced an uncomfortable smile on his face as it dawned on the face of the second grade teacher, Tina. "Did you not miss me?" she asked before pressing her lips against his. He had no time to respond before she jammed her tongue down his throat and practically licked his entire face. He went on one date with her last Friday and he hadn't called or tried to go on another date with her. The date was a disaster and if he wasn't horny he probably would have left the date early. One of his worst ideas suggested by his buddy Jake.

The date itself started out great. The conversation was great when they discussed work and kids but the moment he asked her about he brought up his ex and then asked about hers, it was downhill from there. He sat there and just listened to her go on and on about how she lost the love of her life because he left for college.

"This was years ago, right?" he asked trying to make sense of why she was still holding on to that. She shook her head sadly and told different tales of why they fell in love.

"He was my soulmate. Well I thought he was. We did everything together. Asian camp, Asian therapy…"

"Asian sex?"

"Don't be an ass, Sam!" she replied glaring at him. He thought it was funny but tried to hold in his laughter as she continued. "He was the best dancer at our school and everyone knew us as the Asian couple from my freshman year till he left his senior year. I thought we were going to grow old together and…" Sam zoned out and just ate his food as she rambled about her ex. Sam wished he had never brought up his ex or else this conversation would have never went this route. He looked over at the time and debated on making an excuse to leave. "Sam?"

"What happened?" he snapped back when he noticed her standing.

"I was wondering if you wanted to come back to my place for some…coffee." She looked at him and smiled. He debated over just going home and masturbating but then decided that sleeping with her would have been better. She was stuck on her ex. She'd be over him the next day. Boy was he wrong because now she was stuck on him and now he was stuck in a janitor's closet at the elementary school with her tongue jammed down his throat.

"Tina…Tina…stop…we're at school!" he pushed away. She stepped back and wiped the corners of her lips then smiled. "This is inappropriate."

"Okay…I'm sorry. I just missed you and thought maybe we can get a quickie." She explained as she reached up to wipe his face that she had just slobbered up. "What about I come by your house later?"

"Oh no…my mom is staying with me this week and Aaron is sleeping in my room." He lied and twisted the door open. "I'll call you, okay!" he replied before slipping out of the closet. He needed to get away from her as quickly as possible and he needed to beat up Jake for making him date her in the first place.
