Rachel and Mike were coming back from getting her food and they were setting up the dining room when the Fab 3 entered.
"Mike and I are back if you guys are ready to eat." Rachel offered a smile. It was the first genuine smile she had given since she'd been in the house. Mike sat at the table and Tina sat down beside him. Kurt and Mercedes sat down and began pulling things out of bags. Rachel sat next to Kurt across from Mike to Tina's chagrin. Before she started to eat Rachel noticed that Sam and Quinn were missing.
"Where are Sam and Quin?" Mike shook his head. He rose before anyone could speak.
"I'll go get them. Be right back." Mike hoped Sam wasn't doing what he thought he was doing. He checked their bedroom first, no sign of them. Then he checked Quinn and Rachel's room, they weren't their either. He didn't know if he should be pleased or not. As he started to head outside to check the cabana Sam came out of the phone room.
"There you are, dude. Food's here. Where's Quinn?" Mike was looking past Sam to see if she was following him out of the room.
"I don't know. The pool, I guess. Why are you asking me?" Sam was getting tired of people asking him where Quinn was or how she was feeling. Just because they made out doesn't make him her keeper.
"No reason man. But when Rachel and I left she was practically in your lap. We come back and you're both missing. What would you have thought?" Sam nodded his head and followed Mike to the dining room. They saw Quinn had already taken the seat beside Tina. Sam didn't hesitate he sat in the empty seat beside Mercedes. Kurt, Tina, Rachel and Mike all noticed Quinn's reaction to Sam's seat choice. Sam and Mercedes didn't notice anything as they talked and shared food. After dinner the roommates split up to get ready for another night out. Kurt did another outfit check but he was really only checking Rachel. He was surprised at her choice he figured Quinn had helped her. When he left their room and passed the living room he saw Sam hard at work at the bar. Kurt reentered his bedroom to hurry the girls.
"Sam is hard at work making our drinks. I'm so excited to see what he made for everyone." The three of them joined Sam and Rachel at the bar. They were laughing when the Fab 3 joined them. Kurt sat next to Rachel.
"Ok, Sam. I'm ready!"
"I'm waiting for everyone to join us." Tina and Kurt had decided to put Mercedes between them because they couldn't wait for the outrageous thing Sam was going to say to her. Mike joined them and sat down next to Tina. Quinn joined them last and sat down on Rachel's other side. Sam smiled at his gathered housemates. Kurt banged on the bar and clapped his hands.
"OK Sam. We're ready!" Sam smiled and nodded then sat drinks in front of Quinn and Rachel.
"For Rachel there is a Fifth Avenue, because she embodies everything I think New York is. Passionate, determined, and exciting." Rachel blushed and took a sip of her drink.
"This is so good. Thank you Sam."
"You're welcome, Tinkerbell." Quinn didn't like all the attention Sam was giving to Rachel. She tossed her hair and smiled at Sam coyly.
"What about my drink, Sam?"
"For Quinn I made a Duchess. Because how could a face that beautiful belong to someone who isn't royalty." Quinn giggled and took a sip.
"Oh my god! This is amazing! Thank you."
"You're welcome. For Kurt I made a Frisco Sour. I picked this because like Kurt and his city looks are deceiving. They look one way but when you get down to it they have a strength you would never expect." Kurt was shocked at what Sam had said about him. He blinked back tears and took a sip of his drink.
"Wow! Sam, I love this! And thank you for saying such nice things about me."
"You're welcome Kurt. It's true." He put drinks in front of Mike and Tina next. Kurt and Tina shared a glance as Sam passed over Mercedes.
"For Tina I made an Electric Lemonade. I picked it because Tina is both smoking hot and refreshing. She's the perfect combination like alcohol and lemonade." Tina blushed furiously and took a drink. "I made a Scorpion for my boy Mike. This drink is perfect for him because like the scorpion people have preconceived notions, but neither are dangerous until you cross them." Mike reached across the bar and gave Sam a fist bump. Sam moved to stand in front of Mercedes. He sat her drink in front of her. Kurt and Tina smiled at each other over her head. They couldn't wait to hear what Sam had to say about Mercedes. "For Mercedes I made a White Chocolate Martini." Mercedes quirked and eyebrow.
"White chocolate?"
"You have a problem with white chocolate?" Sam smiled a crooked smile at her.
"No. I just don't get it. I don't have white chocolate in me." His eyes burned into hers as he leaned across the bar into kissing distance.
"You're right. You don't have white chocolate in you, yet." Mercedes was shocked. This was the first time he had been so overtly sexual to her in front of the other housemates. She looked at Kurt who had paused in the process of taking a drink. Tina choked on her her drink and Mike was patting her on the back. Mercedes didn't know how to respond. Her eyes met his and she knew he was serious and everything was different. She took a sip of her martini and couldn't believe how delicious it was. "Is it good?" His eyes twinkled as he watched her lips.
"It's amazing. You picked perfectly. I never would have thought white chocolate was for me but you might have changed my mind." She slid off of her bar stool and headed towards the front door. Kurt, Tina, Mike and Rachel followed her. Sam watched her walk away entranced. Mike opened the door and saw that the cabs were waiting. He stuck his head back inside.
"Cabs are here." Mercedes looked over her shoulder at Sam who was still standing behind the bar.
"You coming?" He smirked at her again, and came around the bar. He walked past Quinn and when he got to Mercedes he leaned over and whispered in her ear.
"Not before you." He saw her shiver and get into the cab with Tina and Kurt. She was shocked when he climbed in beside her. The ride to the club was silent. The sexual tension in the car was stifling. Kurt and Tina were silent, they wanted to talk to Mercedes but Sam's presence made that impossible. When the cab stopped in front of the club Sam got out of the car then offered Mercedes his hand. She slid her hand into his and he pulled her out of the car and flush against him. Kurt climbed out next and before he could turn to offer Tina help Sam wrapped his arm tightly around Mercedes and offered Tina his other hand. Sam linked his fingers through Mercedes' and led her into the club. Kurt and Tina followed arm in arm and Mike escorted both Rachel and Quinn to the dance floor. Sam was determined to dance with Mercedes, he pulled her back to his front with his hands on her waist. Rachel pulled Kurt away from Tina so that Mike could dance with her. Tina smiled her thanks and her misgivings about Rachel floated away. Quinn waited patiently for Sam to get tired of Mercedes so she could make a move. Rachel nudged Tina when she noticed Quinn eying Sam and Mercedes. Tina nudged Kurt and he rolled his eyes but he wasn't worried because he knew neither Sam or Mercedes had noticed anything since Sam pulled her out of the cab. Kurt still wanted to talk to Mercedes so he pulled her toward the ladies room. Tina followed and pulled Rachel along.
"Kurt, what do you want? I was having fun!" The other three laughed. When they finally controlled their laughter Kurt answered.
"We know how much fun you're having. Tina and I have been dying to talk to you since the bar comment." Rachel furrowed her brows confused.
"What comment?" Tina looked at Rachel and blushed, then she looked at Kurt and saw he was blushing as well. "Now you have to tell me!" Kurt told Rachel that Sam told Mercedes she was going to have white chocolate in her. Rachel immediately began to blush. She clapped her hands and squealed. Kurt mimicked her clap and turned to Mercedes.
"What is happening?" Mercedes looked confused.
"Happening?" Tina, Kurt and Rachel shared a look. Tina took Mercedes hand.
"He means, are we going to have to stay in Mike's room tonight?" Mercedes eyes grew wide and her mouth flew open.
"You guys! I haven't even known him for a week. I am NOT having sex with him tonight." Rachel chuckled.
"So you're saying that this time next week Kurt and Tina should make other sleeping arrangements." Tina and Kurt laughed loudly.
"No! You guys suck! Can I go or are you not finished interrogating me?"
"Mercedes, calm down. We're just kidding. Trust us we would not blame you if you let him put it on you."
"Kurt!" The three girls said simultaneously. Kurt shrugged his shoulders and began fixing his hair in the mirror. The girls laughed and joined him at the mirror. On the way out of the bathroom Tina stopped mid-stride and turned to look at her friends.
"I'd bet my new combat boots that Quinn is all over Sam when we get back out there."
"I'm sure she will be but I would bet my Alexander McQueen blazer that when he sees Mercedes he forgets Quinn." They all laughed and headed to the dance floor. Mike, Sam and Quinn were nowhere to be found. The four friends made their way to the bar to see Quinn draped onto Sam's side. Mike was sitting on Sam's other side trying to contain his laughter. Kurt slid up to the bar next to Quinn. She didn't acknowledge his presence but he hadn't expected her to notice him. Tina stood beside Mike and Rachel beside Tina. Mercedes stood behind Sam. She wasn't going to fight Quinn for his attention. She wasn't one of those girls who fought over boys making herself look silly in the process. She tapped Mike on the shoulder and asked him to order her a drink then waited. When Mike turned to hand her the drink Sam turned and saw her. She smiled at him and held her drink up to him in a toast. He returned her gesture with his beer bottle. He took a step toward her grabbed her hand, took her drink from her other hand and passed it to Quinn then led Mercedes back to the dance floor. Quinn's face flushed a horrible red. She slammed the drink on the bar and headed toward the dance floor. The rest of the roommates shared a look and went to the dance floor as well.
