Hi. So this chapter (time wise) takes place BEFORE the Valentine's Day chapter. "Why didn't you put it there goofy" you may ask me. LOL and I wanted to compair this chapter to the next one. Kind of a where they started to where they end up kind of thing. Okay I'm rambling and its just better for me to shut it and let you read LOL. And forgive any and all typos. I'm doing all of this in a rush.
Read, Enjoy, and Review.
First try:
"So wait a minute" Santana smirked. It was the smirk that she wears when she had found out something new and confidential about another student. "You're still holding your V card?"
Mercedes fidgeted with her fingers as she placed her gaze to her lap. "Well, yeah, yes I am" she admitted. "But I can't be the only girl in glee who is still one right?" she questioned all of her friends as she looked around the room.
"Well we know I'm not" Santana joked with a smirk
"Well Beth is a sign that I'm not" Quinn sighed half joking, half serious.
"The night after West Side Story" Rachel sighed with a smile as flash backs came to her.
"Well I still have mine" Brittney smiled proudly. The room stared at her in disbelief.
"Yeah, no you don't" Quinn hissed
"Well, yeah I do. V- card is a virtual card and I can get on the internet in the library easily so yeah I do" Brittney countered.
The room looked over to Santana, who rolled her eyes, knowing that they all knew how Britts train of thought ran. "Hon, we're talking about virginity, and how Mamma 'Cedes isn't giving up the bait to young Fish Face Evans" she explained.
"Ohhh" Brittney exclaimed. "Then yeah, no, mine has been gone" she agreed.
"Mike , summer before last" Tina sighed. "Wait didn't we have this talk?"
"Yeah but it was for the Hobbit and she didn't want Wheezy here" Santana explained.
"WHAT?" Mercedes questioned. "So all of you guys had a virgin summit and I wasn't here for it?"
All of the other girls turned their attention to Rachel. "W-w-well" she stuttered "see I didn't tell you about it because we were in a fight, and I needed a non virgin opinion. I'm sorry." She sighed remorsefully.
Mercedes rolled her eyes at her excuse. "Well whatever, I guess I am the last virgin girl in the original glee" she sighed suddenly feeling more like an outsider to her friends.
"I thought you had given up the cookies to that giant ex boy friend of yours. You guys talked about 'coco babies'. I just assumed you two were well into practice mode for it" Santana shrugged.
"Well, no. We never got that far" Mercedes sighed feeling substandard to the other girls in the room.
"Well how far did you get?" Brittney questioned.
Mercedes laughed, but when she saw the rest of the rooms eyes fall on her, she realized they expected a real answer from her. "Well we got to second base…. Over the shirt" mumbling the last part.
"Wow, Shane was hard up with you" Santana giggled to herself. Mercedes hung her head in shame.
"This isn't a bad thing" Quinn soothed as she walked over, placing an arm around Mercedes shoulder.
"Yeah, plus with his dance moves Sam is probably terrible at it anyway." Santana scoffed "I mean Finn was the worst, and he rules over the Rhythmless Nation"
"He was perfectly fine!" Rachel shot back in defense of her man.
"Yeah, to another virgin" Santana scoffed. "That is totally the blind leading the blind"
"Look, this is about Mercedes" Quinn interrupted; bring the focus back to where it belonged. "Hon, don't rush it. I know Sam, and he is a patient guy" Quinn explained.
"Yeah, but he's still a guy" Santana scoffed "He will only hold out for so long. I mean look at Finn, Queen Chastity Belt over here had him so wound up, he was practically begging to ride the Santana bull" she laughed. Rachel huffed loudly adding "he knew it was a free ride" under her breath. Santana whipped her head in the brunette's direction and gave her a death glare.
"Look, I'm sure if you tell him you're not ready, he'll wait." Quinn reassured finding that the other two would be of little to no assistance what-so-ever.
"Yeah, but for how long?" Mercedes wondered out loud. "I mean Santana's right, look at Finn? He's a pretty stand up guy, and easily fell into Santana's sex web, no offense"
"None taken" the Latina smirked
"I mean, I know he's faithful now, but second base can only hold him for so long" Mercedes began to panic.
"Well have you guy's exchanged 'I love you's' yet?" Tina questioned
"No" Mercedes whispered. She knew she loved him. She had known for some time now, but she was scared to be the first one to say it, and back him into a corner where he would be forced to say it back and he didn't really mean it.
"Yeah because that prevents sex" Santana scoffed "Oh no we can't do it because you didn't say 'I love you'"
"No" Tina sighed "but it's better if you do. I mean when Mike and I-"
"Yeah, Yeah Asian camp, long talk about it, there was a shooting star that 'blessed' you moment. We heard this story before" Santana rolled her eyes.
"Well thanks to Rachel, Mercedes didn't" Tina shot back. The room turned to Rachel, who repeated "Look I'm sorry okay!"
"Well anyway" Quinn continued "It's better if you wait. If you forget, think about helping me off of the couch in my last month" she warned.
"All your story shows is that wine coolers, and no protection equals bad idea" Santana scoffed to the blonde's cautionary tone. "It's better if you have condoms!" Santana revised.
Mercedes sat quietly taking in everything her friends where telling her. She sighed and got up to head home. "Thanks guys" she sighed as she headed to the choir room door.
"Mercedes" Rachel called to her as she almost passed the threshold of the room. Mercedes whipped around to see what she wanted.
"Whatever you do, make sure you're ready because you can never have it back" Rachel warned in a very solemn tone.
Mercedes nodded and headed for her car. She stopped at her locker to grab her books for the weekend. Her mind was full of questions, which she knew she wouldn't get the answer to from any of the girls in the room she just left. Her mind was in a tug of war and she was the only one who could make the final decision.
"Hey 'Cedes" Kurt bellowed as he made his way to her in the empty hallway.
"Hey Kurt" she greeted him in a sad tone. "What are you doing up here?" She questioned.
"Oh I'm meeting Rachel to practice our submissions for our programs" he said cheerfully. "Why are you still up here?"
"I wanted to talk to the girls about something" she said quietly.
"Well as an honorary member of your group, can I know what about?" Kurt probed, noticing the sad look on his friend's face.
"Well, yeah" she sighed figuring her best friend's point of view would help. "I was talking to them about…. Sex." She sighed fighting to get the last word out.
"Well what about it?" Kurt questioned.
"Well about, you know, having it"
"Wait, your still a virgin?" Kurt questioned, realizing they have failed to have this conversation with each other.
"Yeah" she answered "and from the astonishment in your eyes, I'm not only the only girl virgin in the original Glee I'm the ONLY virgin" she pouted.
"Yeah, the night of West Side Story" Kurt grinned as he's personal flash backs of Blaine and he rushed to him.
Mercedes slammed her locker. "GREAT! Just perfect, not only has EVERYONE been sexing, they've all been talking about it without me!" She began to stomp down the hall quickly.
"Wait you didn't go to the V-5 summit the girls had for Rachel?" Kurt questioned.
Mercedes stopped abruptly and turned to face him with wide eyes. "YOU KNEW ABOUT IT TOO?"
"Well yeah" Kurt answered matter of factly "I figured all of the girls where there"
Mercedes rolled her eyes and continued towards the door. She stopped when she felt Kurt's hand on her shoulder. She turned to him with tears in her eye. Kurt's heart stopped when he saw just how upset she was. "Look, it's not that we didn't want to include you 'Cedes" he explained in a soothing voice. "All of this just, you know happened"
"You know" Mercedes started as the tears fell from her eyes "I could understand Rachel slightly but you too? How could you keep that from me?"
"Well, I didn't do this on purpose" Kurt said looking her in the eye. "It's just that it happened, and I didn't broadcast it. I mean Blaine and I are in love and we did it. I didn't send out a bulletin and purposely leave you off the mailing list"
Mercedes calmed a bit and took a deep breath. "I know Kurt" she sighed. "It's just that, I feel so alienated from the group, and this just gives everyone a bigger rift from me"
"We all love you 'Cedes. You don't need to do it to relate to us" he sighed pulling her into a hug. "This is an important decision. You should only do this if you're ready for it. I know it sounds cliché, but sex changes everything" he warned.
"Thanks Kurt" Mercedes sighed in his arms. "I'm sorry for yelling. It was a privet event and you didn't have to tell me."
"I know, but being your friend I should have, and for that I apologize to you" Kurt pulled her away to look at her. "So are you and Sam going to?"
"I don't know" she shrugged. "I have to go, I told him to meet me at my car and he's probably waiting for me there" she sighed. She turned to the door and continued to wall saying "Bye Kurt" over her shoulder.
When she reached the parking lot she saw Sam standing next to her car. He was conversing with a couple of Cheerio's. She stood back and observed how the girls giggled and flipped their hair at him. They gently hit his shoulders when he joked and batted their eyelashes. "Great" Mercedes sighed as she walked over to her car.
Sam noticed his girlfriend and smiled brightly when he saw her finally making her was to the car. He quickly forgot he was even conversing with the other girls, when she came into his eye line.
"Hey babe" he cooed as he pushed past the girls, to gather Mercedes in his arms and lightly kiss her on the forehead.
"Hey" she sighed as she glanced up at her man, and greeted the two other girls with an evil eye.
"We'll see ya Sam" one of the girls called, as they noticed Mercedes look.
"Uh huh" Sam replied nonchalantly. "Ready to go?" he questioned as he took her keys and opened her driver side door for her.
"Yeah" she sighed, feeling even worse than earlier.
The drive home started quietly. Sam could sense something was wrong with Mercedes, but he wasn't quite sure what it was.
"Had a good talk with the girls?" he questioned in an attempt to break the silence.
"Yeah I guess" she shrugged never taking her eyes off of the road. "I guess I kept you waiting too long, so you had to find 'entertainment'?" she questioned.
'There it is' he thought to himself "No" he answered "They were just pasting by and stopped to speak" he explained.
"Humf" was all she replied.
When she pulled up to his house, Mercedes turned off the engine and sat quietly.
"You coming in?" Sam questioned
"No" she answered shortly.
"Look honey, those girls really were just passing" Sam repeated hoping that she wouldn't be angry. "I was only talking to them for like a minute when you walked up"
"Okay" Mercedes answered. She wasn't angry about the girls; she was scared at what they represented. When she looked at them with Sam, all she saw were two Santana's trying to entice him like she did with Finn. "Look I'm tired. I'll talk to you tomorrow okay?"
Sam looked defeated. He figured the only way for her to cool down was to give her space. "Okay" he sighed as he reached over and kissed her lightly on the cheek. He got out of the car and closed the door. He watched her pull off, wondering how he was going to fix the situation between them.
Mercedes thought long and hard that night about what she wanted to do. She knew that she wasn't ready for sex, but she wasn't ready to loose Sam either. As she lay in bed, she weighted the pros and cons of sex with Sam. She finally decided that, if it meant keeping Sam, she would push herself to do it.
The next morning she called Sam, before he made his way to work. "Hey" she cooed.
"Hey" Sam answered slightly confuses.
"What are you doing" she sang, using her most soothing voice
"Uh, getting ready for work" he answered.
"Well, my parents and grandmother are going out tonight to a play. I wondered if you wanted to come over and keep me company?" she smiled widely, proud of herself for being coy.
"Uh sure" Sam shrugged. "Want me to bring any movies?" he questioned figuring that's what the night's event would entail.
"No need" she smiled "Just bring that sexy body"
"Uh. O…kay" Sam answered.
"Okay, be over at 7:00" she sang.
"See ya at 7:00"
Mercedes hung up the phone, proud of her seduction. She figured that Sam's mind would be on her and sex all day at work. And according the quiz she took in her woman's magazine it was a good thing. She threw on some clothing and ran to the drug store. It took her ten minutes to explain in a direct way that she needed condoms. She was so embarrassed to even say the word. That coupled with the fact that she ran into two of her elder church members picking up their prescriptions, she had a heart attack.
She took a nap, figuring she would need energy for the night's event. She got up at five and took a long bath to relax her. After, she slathered on her best smelling vanilla lotion, and threw on her bath rob to see her patents and Grandmother Joyce off.
When they left she ran up stairs and put on her prettiest bra and boy short set. She sighed as she looked in the mirror. "Well I hope he likes these" she sighed to herself. She figured he'd need easy access to everything and threw on a cute knee length baby doll dress with a cute pair of pumps. She curled her hair and put on make up. She was putting on the finishing touches to her lip gloss when her door bell rang.
Her heart skipped a beat. She checked her self out in the mirror one last time saying "This is it" She took a deep breath and headed for her front door.
When she opened the door, Sam's eyes widened. "You look amazing" he sighed as he drank her in. He then looked down at his tee shirt, jeans and chucks and wondered aloud "Am I under dressed? Are we going somewhere?"
Mercedes threw her head back in an awkward weird giggle, which Sam had never heard before. His brows furrowed from this noise as he thought 'Okay, what was that?' He normally enjoyed her laughter, and thought he had heard all of them ranging from when something was slightly funny to when she found something hysterical. None of them ever sounded like the one she just let out.
"Oh Sam" she sighed. "No you're perfectly fine. Please come in" she sighed as stepped to the side to let him in.
Sam walked inside to find the house basically dark. "So what movies are we watching, because I know you said not to bring one, but I found a great copy of an old 80's movie called Space Balls that I think will be great!" he grinned excited.
Mercedes let off that weird giggled again, much to Sam's dismay and displeasure. "Oh Samuel" she sighed "your so droll"
"Uh. Thanks I think" he replied not quite sure what was up with his girl. "Are you feeling okay babe?" he finally questioned.
"Why I'm great" Mercedes said as she sauntered over to him. She reached around his neck and pulled him into a deep kiss. Although he knew something was going on with her, Sam would never refuse one of her kisses.
"Let's move this up stairs" she cooed after breaking their kiss. She began to head up the stairs, expecting him to follow her.
"Uh, are you sure?" Sam hesitated. He had never been in her room before, and was shocked at the offer.
Mercedes looked over her shoulder and in a breathy voice said "Oh I'm positive"
She sauntered up the stairs with Sam close behind. When she reached her room, her palms began to sweat. She knew she wasn't ready yet but figured that this is what would keep him, and prevent him from eyeing any other girls.
She quickly walked over to her iPod stereo and started her "Sex Sam" playlist she created earlier that day. Her bed side lamps were on with red scarves covering them. She figured she needed mood lighting before the clothing came off.
Sam walked into her room and looked around. As he took his letterman off, he observed his girlfriend move around the room. But she seemed different. Normally when she walked and did any task she seemed to glide, making anything she did look effortless. However right now she seemed stiff, and robotic. He shook his head wondering what was going on with her. He took a seat at her desk and continued to stare at her, in an attempt to figure out what was wrong.
When she finally stopped, she stood next to her bed. She swallowed hard before asking "Why don't you sit here, on-on the bed with me?
Sam shrugged and stood up. He sat on the bed next to her, and laid back on the pillows against her head board. "So are we not watching Space Balls?" he questioned as he settled in.
Mercedes shook her head no. She then leaned in and started to kiss him. She kissed him deeply, as she ran her fingers through his hair. Sam sighed in pleasure, knowing that she knew he loved when she did that. She ran her hands down the side of his face to his neck, down the front of his chest to the bottom of his shirt. She began to lift it when his hands stopped her. "Wait, wait, what are we doing here?" He had an ideal but he wanted to be sure she knew.
Mercedes sat back and sighed. 'Why couldn't we just do it?' she wondered. Why did they have to talk about it? "I'm-I'm giving you my virginity" she announced.
Sam's eyes widened at her confession. "Uh…." He was at a lost for words. He took a deep breath and thought. "Are you sure?" he finally managed to speak.
"Yes" she whispered. "I'm-I'm sure". With that she stood up and when to the other side of the bed. She slid under the covers after she kicked her shoes off. She some how managed to wiggle out of her dress, and tossed it on the large lounge chair across the room.
"Okay" she sighed as she lay under the covers in her bra and panties. "I'm ready"
Sam stood in shock. One because they hadn't even talked about sex, so this was all out of the blue. And two, that was the most awkward striptease he'd ever seen (or not seen). "Uh" he sighed.
"Well come on" Mercedes huffed ready to get the event over with.
"Ok-Okay?" Sam questioned. He slipped off his tee shirt. The cut of his abs, chest, and arms amazed Mercedes. It also made her more unsure. 'He looks like that under his clothes' she thought 'how is he going to want me?' She smiled at him weakly, in an attempt to reassure him, when she noticed he paused, and was staring at her.
He next unbuttoned and unzipped his jeans. He allowed them to fall to his ankles, revealing his boxer shorts. He climbed into bed next to her. He laid on his side and faced her. "Are you sure?"
Mercedes heart was racing. Her mind screamed 'No!' but she fought it and shook her head 'yes'. "Let's-Let's do this" she sighed.
Sam was frozen. He felt that they weren't ready. But he really did want her. So he reached in and began to kiss her. He placed his hand on her chest and felt her heart pounding. She quickly pulled away. "Hold on" she smiled weakly. She reached over and turned off her room lamps, shrouding them in darkness.
"Uh" Sam paused "'Cedes?"
"Yeah Sam" she cooed attempting to hide her fear
"It's kinda dark in here"
"Yeah. I want it that way"
"That's it!" Sam sighed. He reached over and turned on her lamp. He hopped out of the bed and began pacing back and forth by it.
"What is going on with you?" he questioned
"No-Nothing" she answered sitting up.
"No. you're not being honest with me Mercedes Diana Jones! What is going on?" Sam demanded
"Nothing!" she shot back on the verge of tears.
"Then what is all of this? The fake laughter, and forced movement? And the fact that just yesterday you were angry with me, now you're ready to give me your virginity? Come on now, something is up." Sam pleaded with her with his eyes to tell him what was going on.
"Nothing. I just want to make sure that your satisfied" she stiffened.
"Satisfied? Whoever said I wasn't?" he questioned
"We-well I know that guys have needs, and I wanted to make sure I gave you what you need" she breathed, attempting to stay clam.
"What I need? Mercedes you not making a lick of sense"
"I wanted to give you me before you went to some other girl!" she blurted out
Sam peered down at her in her bed. He was hurt that she thought he would cheat on her. "So your saying that I'm such a-a- slut that I would just run out and cheat on you?"
Mercedes eyes widened "No, no" she tried to back track
"Or that I have no will power that I will just run out and hump the first thing in a skirt?" he yelled as he pulled up his jeans.
"NO. It's just that I'm a virgin and -and everyone else isn't and- and" Mercedes was at a lost for words. "It's just that you never even try to go any farther with me. Hell you were scared of second base with me until I said it was alright."
"I was taking my time with you Mercedes" Sam sighed not being able to believe what he was hearing. He was actually in trouble with his girlfriend for taking things slow.
"You never took your time with Santana!" she shot back "Hell at Rachel's you two were practically sexing. What is it because I'm not a Cheerio? Or not Cheerio sized or-"
"I'm taking my time with you because I love you!" he yelled. She jumped at his tone and his words. She began to cry, knowing that she had ruined everything.
Sam saw her reaction and sighed. He knew he loved her but never wanted it to come out like this. He ran his hands over his head and took a deep breath to calm down. He walked over to her side of the bed and sat down at the foot.
"'Cedes I care about you. You're like the coolest girlfriend a dork like me could have" he explained "I know you want me not because of my body, not because of how I look or what I have. You want me because I'm Sam…. I am" he chucked. He looked up to see her still crying. He gently took her hand and held it. "And I love you for those same reasons. I love you because you have the best laugh ever. And the brightest smile. And the biggest heart."
Mercedes sighed and looked down "And the biggest bod-"
"Don't you do that!" Sam snapped "I love you and all that comes with it! Yes I dated two Cheerios, and yes they were small. But I'm head over heels in love with you." He gazed at her and scooted closer to her. He took her chin and lifted it up to meet his smile "And yes I want all of you. But when you're really ready. I know you're worth waiting for, and I'm willing to wait for you" he smiled.
Mercedes smiled softly at Sam. "How did I get such a gentleman?" she asked him
"Don't give me too much credit" he smiled. "It's mentally killing me that you're under all of those covers with nothing but underwear on" he confessed.
She giggled her genuine giggled, the one that made his heart skip a beat. He smiled back at her.
She sighed saying "Yeah I guess I better get dressed"
"Yeah" he agreed as he headed to her lounge chair. He picked up her dress and sat down holding it in his hands.
It was Mercedes turn to be confused. "Uh don't you want to leave so I can put that on?" she questioned.
"Look 'Cedes, yes I am willing to wait to have sex with you until you're ready. But this whole me not wanting your body thing stops now, tonight. So if you want to get dressed, you have to come and get it from me" Sam demanded.
Mercedes' mouth dropped open. She wasn't expecting to be examined by Sam. Even if they did have sex, she planed it being in the dark, under covers where he couldn't see her.
"I want you to be comfortable around me" he explained noticing her face. "So when we do make love, I can see all of it" he smiled.
Mercedes sighed. She trusted him, but she was still nervous about being in her underwear in front of him. She closed her eye and thought 'he's right'. With that she silently swung her legs out of the bed, managing to keep the covers pressed firmly above her chest, allowing it to cover the rest of her torso down to her knees. She then stood. The covers slid up her to her thighs, but still covered everything else. She took a deep breath and tossed the covers on the bed behind her, revealing to her audience of one her bra and panties. She walked in his general direction with her eye closed. She didn't want to see the look on his face, while she was almost practically nude.
Sam smiled to himself. 'She's beautiful' he thought. He then noticed her walking blindly to him. He reached out and pulled her closer to him. He situated her between his sitting legs. He gently pressed a light kiss next to her belly button, afterwards nuzzling into her stomach.
She let out a small gasp, as she felt him cuddling her. She finally opened her eyes and looked down. All she saw at first was the top of his head. She gently ran her finger through his hair. He looked up at her, his large green eyes meeting hers and he smiled a warm and comforting smile. He then kissed her stomach again, this time a little higher. He continued to do that all the way up to her breast. He then marveled as the size and volume of them and smiled at her again. He then stood up fully and commanded her to "Put your arms up". She obeyed his command and lifted her arm over her head. He gently slipped her dress on over her head.
When she was covered she smiled at him and hugged him tightly. "I'm so sorry Sammy" she sighed.
"Its okay" he comforted her. "I'll be honest, letting you get dressed was one of the hardest things I've had to do" he confessed with a chuckle.
"I know I can feel it" she laughed loudly.
Normally he would have been a bit embarrassed about her comment but once he heard her laugh all he could say was "There's my girl"
"Oh and Sammy" Mercedes sighed when her laughter subsided. She looked deep into his eyes and smiled. "I love you too"
"I was wondering when you would get around to that" he smiled.
So yeah. One, it still chapps my ass a little Mercedes wasn't there for that little talk they had with Rachel (Yep I said it!) So I put it in this AU just because I needed the girls to have one with my girl! And I named it the V-5 as a play on the G8 summit. LOL Nerdy I know. Oh and I love writing as Santana. I think because I'm a lot like her (Yeah I can have a smart ass mouth at times LOL. But I'm NEVER mean. Just jokes)
