As I See It

The Lake House

The weekend finally arrived and Mercedes and Sam were so excited about their trip. Mercedes had everything on her end planned out. She had taken the key to the lake house from her father earlier that week without his knowledge. She had planned her and Sam's departure approximately one hour after her parents left for their conference. She packed up enough food in coolers for the weekend and even planned her road trip playlist on her IPOD. To say she was ready for this weekend was an understatement. The one thing she was still having trouble with was packing, she just could not decide what to take. This was a very important weekend for her and Sam and she wanted to look good. She was so happy being with Sam and she knew how she felt about him but something kept her from telling him. They have been together going on three months now and she knew since New York she was in love with him but of course she could not tell him that then, it way too soon. The last thing she wanted to do was scare him away. Mercedes decided that this weekend she was finally going to tell him how she felt about him and he could except it or run away, either way she was going to put on her "big girl panties" and tell him. She decided on packing a few of her favorite sundress because Sam likes her in dresses it shows off her ample cleavage. She also packed a few pair of her short shorts since Sam says he likes her legs and he can't stop staring or touching her ass(not that she minds) and her new comic book t-shirts she bought especially for him. She decides to do some alterations on her new shirts to make them special to fit her form. This weekend she was dressing for Sam and she wanted to look her best. A different pair of superhero pajamas for each night (all three pair consist of shorts and a tank top) Captain America the first night, Wonder Woman the second night, and The Avengers the third night each paired with matching underwear. Yeah she had this whole thing planned out. The thought of sex was always in the back of her mind, she was not ready up to this point to go all the way with Sam yet but the temptation and urges were getting stronger. She knew how Sam felt about it he was very upfront and honest with his feelings about sex. He told her how much he wanted to but he would never pressure her to go any further than she wanted during their many, many make out sessions. He was a gentleman and always treated her with the upmost respect and that is why she knew she was in love with him, she just prayed that he felt the same way. After all her packing was done she grabbed her phone and texted Sam

Hey are you done packing? ~M

Yeah just finished ~Sam I Am

Ok well I'll come pick you up in 15min ~M

Ok cool I'll be ready. Are we hitting the road straight from my house? ~Sam I Am

No, we need to come back to my house to load up the car I need some strong arms to do some of the heavy lifting ~M

Well lucky for you I got a pair of strong arms~ Sam I Am

Yes my strong and sexy boyfriend ~M

Mm I love to hear you say that ~Sam I Am

LOL you're crazy ~M

You make me crazy woman ~Sam I Am

Ok I'll be ready, hey Mercy ~Sam I Am

Yes Sam ~M

I'm really excited about this weekend ~Sam I Am

Me too ~M

After gathering a few thing Mercedes headed to go pick up Sam. Sam was waiting on his porch with his duffle bag and guitar case. He thought about how getting to this point in their relationship made him feel. He never felt this comfortable with a girl this fast ever. He didn't have to pretend with her or be cool, he could just be his nerdy self, and he could just be Sam. His feeling for Mercedes was something he always wanted to feel for someone special, he never imagined it would happen so fast between them. He was in love with Mercedes Jones and he wanted to shout it to the world but he needed to tell her first. He knew he was in love with her after their first kiss after prom but he couldn't tell her then, it was too soon and that would have scared her off. His mom always told him that he needed to slow down when it came to matters of the heart because he falls in love too fast and too hard but Sam did not care when it came to his Mercy because he knew she was the one. The smile that grew across his face when she pulled up was priceless. He couldn't help but smile, this was going to be a great weekend. He jumped up and ran to the car and threw his things in the back. He got in and leaned over and gave Mercedes a sweet yet passionate kiss.

"I have missed those lips" he whispered

"I have missed those lips" she replied "and I have missed you.

"I missed you too baby" he said "I had to work those other days to get this weekend off though"

"Well I am going to make sure that it was well worth it" she said giving him a wink.

"I am sure you will" he said taking her hand and giving it a quick kiss.

They drove back to Mercedes house and loaded up the car and they were on their way. Mercedes plugged up her IPOD and turned on the playlist she made. It was a mix of songs she liked and Sam liked. He was surprised at how much she knew about his taste in music but what surprised him even more was the fact he like a lot of the music she liked. They both enjoyed introducing each other to new music that they would never normally listen to and new experiences that they could share with each other. Being an inter-racial couple was not something they discussed on a regular but it was something that came up when it came to learning about each other. Sam was a country boy who liked country things so he was going to show Mercedes how to fish this weekend. She was not too thrilled about baiting her hook but she agreed to try it because of Sam. In return she was going to teach Sam how to dance properly. She saw his attempts during glee and they were ok but she wanted her man to move with more confidence and dare she say it SWAG! The first part of the drive was just them acting silly singing along to the radio and dancing. A song came on that Sam didn't know but Mercedes did. She turned it up and began singing it

Seems like everyone else has a love just for them,

I don't mind, we have such a good time,

My best friend, but sometimes, well,

I wish we could be more than friends,

Tell me do you know?

Tell me do you know?

Oh..

I get so breathless, when you call my name,

I've often wondered do you feel the same

There's a chemistry, energy, a synchronicity

When we're all alone,

So don't tell me

You can't see

What I'm thinking of.

I can understand that you don't want to cross the line,

And you know I can't promise you things,

Will turn out fine,

But I have to be honest I want you to be mine

Tell me do you know?

Tell me do you know?

Oh...

I get so breathless, when you call my name,

I've often wondered do you feel the same

There's a chemistry, energy, a synchronicity

When we're all alone,

So don't tell me

You can't see

Oh!

'Cause I've tried to do this right in your own time

I've been telling with my eyes, my heart's on fire,

Why don't you realize?

Tell me do you know?

Tell me do you know?

I get so breathless...

I get so breathless, when you call my name,

I've often wondered do you feel the same

There's a chemistry, energy, a synchronicity

When we're all alone,

So don't tell me

You can't see

What i'm tbinkin of

"That was amazing Mercy. What song was that?" Sam asked

"Breathless by Corinne Bailey Rae" Mercedes answered

"I like that" Sam said "especially when you sing it."

"Thanks babe" she said "I'm sure you're a bit biased though."

"Yeah well maybe I am, but you have an amazing voice and you are the best singer I know."

She couldn't help but smile because he has always said that even before they started dating.

"I still don't see how you don't get more solo's in glee" Sam said "when I first heard you guys sing I just knew you were the girl who gets all the solo's cause your voice was so amazing."

"Well I guess everyone does not feel the same way you do" Mercedes said "I guess I am just the glory note girl to them."

Sam hated when she would talk like that. His girl was a star who deserved to shine and if it was the last thing he did he was going to make her see it and then make her show the rest of the world how special she was.

They had to stop and get gas and snacks.

"What do you want to eat?" Mercedes asked

"Just some chips and a drink" Sam said

"Ok be right back"

Mercedes went in the store to get the snacks and pay for the gas when she heard some girls come into the store giggling and talking

"Did you see him OMG so cute right" the first girl said

"Yes" the second girl said "that man is so sexy I am definitely going to give him my number."

Mercedes turned to see who they were talking about and smiled when she saw they were talking about Sam. she decided to have a little fun

"Excuse me are you guys talking about the cute blonde guy?" she asked

"Yes" the first girl said "he is some kind of sexy."

"I know right" Mercedes said "I saw him when I got here and I wanted to say something to him but I don't think he would be interested in me."

"Well if you don't say something to him I will" the second girl said.

"You should totally talk to him" Mercedes said

"You think so" she said "I'm going to do it. We already have things in common I can see with his letterman jacket he's a jock and I'm a cheerleader at my school so it's only natural."

"There you have it, you have to go for it now" Mercedes told her

She watched the two girls walk over to Sam and gave their best flirty smile and their best moves. She watched as Sam being the polite guy that he is smile at the girls and entertained them for just a few minutes before shaking his head and sending the girls on their way. She couldn't help but chuckle to herself as she paid for everything. I love that man she thought.She walked out of the store and walked behind him

"Excuse me I just could not help but come over and tell you how sexy I think you are" talking loud enough so his two admirers can hear.

"Why thank you" he said "I think you're pretty sexy yourself."

"I was wondering do you have a girlfriend?"

"I do have a girlfriend"

"Well is she here?"

"No she's at home right now"

"Well would you like a girlfriend for the weekend because I got an empty lake house a few miles up the road and we could go there and have a really good time" she said closing the gap between them

"That sounds like an offer I can't refuse" he said in his best godfather impression, he leaned in and kissed her lips.

That drew gasps from the two girls as they got in the car and drove away. Mercedes couldn't stop the smile that grew on her face. They got in the car and left heading to the lake house.

"So what was that about?" he asked

"I was just having a little fun with your fan club" she chuckled "you should have heard them in the store talking about how hot you were."

He started to blush a bit because as much as she or other people told him he was hot he always saw the scrawny kid he was before. He would never say he was sexy.

She continued "they were going on and on about how they were going to talk to you and give you their number. I just had to see that, because my boyfriend had shown me time and time again that he only has eyes for me."

"And don't you ever forget it" he said giving her a wink

"Oh I won't. By the way I got you some cool ranch Doritos and a fruit punch Gatorade."

"You know my snack order I'm impressed."

"I know a lot about you babe but I'm planning on being around to learn so much more."

"Promise"

"Promise"

So they pulled up to the lake house and Sam was impressed by the outside of the house. It looked like a rustic cabin not like the modern lake houses that lined the other side of the lake. This house looked more original.

"So here we are" Mercedes said

"I like it already" Sam declared "should we start unloading?"

"Yeah but first I need you to help me turn everything on. Do you know how to light a water heater?"

"Sure do"

"Ok cool let's get everything on"

They walked to the back of the house to the shed where the power source and water heater were. Sam lit the heater and Mercedes turned on all the power. They then went and unloaded the car and put everything up in the house. Inside the house was totally different from outside of the house. It was very modern with all new appliances and a huge flat screen TV in the living room. Mercedes started putting up the food and setting up what she planned to cook for dinner. Sam poured the ice out of the coolers and put them in the shed out of the way.

"I brought movies in my purple bag if you want to watch one" she said.

"I can help you" he said "we can make dinner together."

"You can cook?"

"I can do a little something and I can also follow instructions so if you tell me what to do I can do it."

"Ok we will make dinner then watch a movie."

So they made dinner which was spaghetti, garlic bread, and a salad. After they ate they both wanted to take a shower and get into their pajamas for the all night movie marathon. Sam showered first and put on his Captain America pajama pants and a wife beater t-shirt. Unbeknownst to Mercedes when she showered she put on her Captain America pajamas as well. When she came downstairs Sam was sitting on the floor with the blankets spread out and pillows all over. When they saw each other they just cracked up laughing.

"I guess great minds think alike" she said

"I guess so" he said

Damn she is going to be the death of me he thought. Ok the Captain America pajamas HOT she did that just for me I know it I'm going to have to let her know how much I appreciate that. The tank top and shorts are SEXY as HELL. That ass in them tiny shorts and her breast in that tight shirt she is killin me. Damn you Mercy.

"What movie do you want to watch?" she asked

"How about ladies choice, and I'll pick the next one."

"Ok well since we seem to have a theme going on here" she said pointing between the two of them "I say the obvious choice is Captain America."

"Sounds like a plan."

She went to put the movie in.

Shit her ass looks good. Why is she taking so long to put that damn movie in, do she really got to bend over like that for that long to start the movie. She is trying to kill me I am sure of it he thought.

He is staring at my ass right now isn't he? She looked back at Sam and turned back around yup he's looking I'm going to take my sweet little time starting this movie.

"So we ready?" she asked

"As ready as we'll ever be" he said patting the spot on the floor next to him.

She went and sat next to him and cuddled into his chest. He wrapped his arms around her waist and they watched the movie.

He feels so good she thought. Why does he have to be so damn sexy? And why does he have to hold me so tight my body can't handle this. I am trying so hard not to rub up and down his chest right now. Help me Holy Ghost.

"This is nice" he said

"Yeah it is" she said

""Mercy"

"Yes Sam"

"Do you realize that we are in an empty house with no impending interruptions and were just watching a movie?"

She laughed "I see your point I mean we are two teenager who like each other a lot and usually can't wait to be alone."

"So let's take advantage of this time we have alone."

"You don't have to ask me twice."

She slid onto Sam's lap and they began to kiss with such passion. They let their hands roam all over each other. Mercedes did exactly what she was thinking and she lifted his shirt off and rubbed up and down his chest kissing every spot her fingers just touched. Sam moaned with every touch and kiss. Sam then removed her shirt and began kissing her collarbone and sliding his hands over her breast. That made Mercedes let out some moans of her own. They continued their make out session for a while until they were breathless.

"Sam we should stop" Mercedes said

"Yeah ok your right" Sam agreed

"It's getting late anyway and I have a lot of things planned for tomorrow."

"As long as one of those plans is going to that carnival we passed."

"I think we can fit that in"

"Yes" as he fist pumped in the air

"Oh my God you are such a dork"

"Yeah but you kinda like it"

"Yeah I kinda do" she gave him a sweet peck on the lips "let's go to bed."

They got up and put all the pillows back and folded the blankets. Made sure everything was cleaned before heading to their separate rooms.

"Sam here is some sheets and blankets for you"

"Thanks Mercy"

"No problem I'll even help you make up your bed"

"Aren't you just the sweetest?"

"Well you know, I try"

They made up Sam's bed and she was about to leave when she felt Sam right behind her.

"Where are you going?" she asked

"You helped me make up my bed so now I'm going to help you make yours up" he replied.

They headed into Mercedes room and began to make up her bed. After they finished they said their goodnights and went to bed. Five minutes passed and Mercedes heard a knock on her door.

"Come in"

"Hey I can't sleep"

"It's only been five minutes Sam"

"So, I know I can't sleep"

"What will help you sleep?"

"Sing to me"

"Are you serious?"

"Yes very serious"

"How do you sleep any other night? I don't sing to you every night."

"Yes you do because I recorded you singing at Night of Neglect and I listen to that every night."

"You're lying, you did not record me."

"You want to bet" Sam walked to his room, grabbed his phone and went back to Mercedes room "listen to this"

Mercedes jaw dropped, she could not believe he actually did that "Sam-" was all she could get out.

"I don't know why you're so surprised you know I love your voice."

"Yeah but, I can't believe you recorded me and listen to it every night."

"Well believe it so can you sing for me so I can go to sleep"

"Why can't you just listen to it on your phone?"

"Why listen to a recording when I got the real thing right here."

"Well you have a point" she said "so I have to get out of my bed, go to your room and sing you to sleep."

"I have a better idea" he said as he climbed into her bed

"Sam what are you doing?"

"Getting into bed so you can sing to me."

"So what happens when you fall asleep?"

"Then I sleep"

"In my bed"

Sam just gave her his signature lopsided grin. She just rolled her eyes as they both got situated in the bed. Mercedes laid on her back and Sam rested his head on her chest."

"So what would you like me to sing?"

"Whatever you want"

She thought about it for a minute and she began to sing

Whenever I'm alone with you

You make me feel like I am home again

Whenever I'm alone with you

You make me feel like I am whole again

Whenever I'm alone with you

You make me feel like I am young again

Whenever I'm alone with you

You make me feel like I am fun again

She began stroking his hair

However far away, I will always love you

However long I stay, I will always love you

Whatever words I say, I will always love you

I will always love you

Is she trying to tell me something? He thought.

Whenever I'm alone with you

You make me feel like I am free again

Whenever I'm alone with you

You make me feel like I am clean again

With Mercedes stroking his hair and the sound of her heartbeat Sam's eyes got heavy and he fell off to sleep

However far away, I will always love you

However long I stay, I will always love you

Whatever words I say, I will always love you

I will always love you

She heard him soring softly

However far away, I will always love you

However long I stay, I will always love you

Whatever words I say, I will always love you

I'll always love you, I'll always love you

Cause I love you

"I love you Sam" she whispered and she turned and went to sleep. That was the most peaceful sleep they both ever had.

A/N I hope you like this chapter. It got a little long so I am going to split it up into days because I really want to focus on the entire weekend. A lot of important events of their relationship happen this weekend. Up next Saturday.
