Umm Why, Umm Why

Living on the edge out of control
And the world just wont let me slow down
But in my biggest picture was a photo of you and
me
Girl you know I tired I work hard to provide
all the material things I thought that would make
you happy
I'm confuse can you make me understand
Cause I tired to give you the best of me
I thought we were cool maybe I was blind.
But never took time to see!

Disappointed again; Mercedes looked at the birthday cake and the dinner she made all by herself. Today was her 26th Birthday and her fiancé had missed it. Mercedes looked at the clock that read 11:45; he was way over an hour late. Mercedes blew out the candle lit dinner she had prepared and walked to their room as tears slowly streamed down her face. She cleaned her face making all he makeup she spent hours on doing disappear; she changed out of the red dress she wore just for him and got into her favorite footie pajamas that had monkeys all over it. She crawled into bed and surrounded herself in the comforter as more and more tears streamed down her face. Today was suppose to be her day and yet she did all there thing for him, made his favorite dinner, wore his favorite color, got pretty just for him and yet he could pull away from his job just for one day.

Sam pulled into the drive away of their home, he looked at his watch and it read midnight, it was no longer her birthday anymore; he missed it. Today was her birthday and he couldn't get away, he was so upset with himself. He couldn't even get a few minutes to call and say it but he knew she wouldn't like it. She deserved a 'Happy Birthday' in person with hugs, flowers, and kisses all over her face and next. Sam didn't wanna go inside because he didn't wanna face this, but he had no choice, he had to.

Sam got out of his car and opened the door to their small home. He turned on the light to see his favorite meal cold on the table and a cake with her name on it in purple frosting; he let out a breath in disappointment at himself. He turned off the light and went into their room to find her in bed curled up in a ball. Sam looked at her and saw the tear streaks left on her face, he made her cry and that killed him inside, his job was to never make her cry and he was failing. Sam quietly got a shower and got into bed; he tried to wrap his arm around her but he felt her stir, he removed his arm and she stopped moving. She didn't want him to hold her, he understood that, he didn't deserve to.

Can u help me?
Tell me what you want from me
Can u help me?
Tell me why you want to leave
Baby help me
Without you my whole world is falling apart
And I'm going crazy! Lifes a prison when your in
love alone

(Oh girl) I need you come back home (you know I need you)
I don't want to be alone

Girl I put your love up on the shelf
And I guess I didn't have to go that
And now were not together, cause I hurt you many
times
And now your not around
I wish for every moment in time
That I wasted we used it to make sweet love.
Baby be my guide please take my hand
Want you to know that I got you.
If you need it. I don't want to be on the outside
looking in
I got to have you girl can't you see it.
Will you help me?
Tell me what you want from me

Over the next couple of weeks Sam continues to miss dinner, dates, and other things he said we would attend. Mercedes was pissed and had had enough. Mercedes waited there bed room sitting cress cross apple sauce in their bed waiting for him to come home. He walked through the door at 10:30 dead tired from his day. When he walked into their room he saw her sitting there waiting for him. "Hey Mercy" he said in a tired tone as he took of his jacked and began to un-button his shirt for a shower.

Mercedes sat there for a moment unresponsive, she didn't know how to say this so she thought she would just come out and say it. "Sam, I can't do this anymore" she said in a shaky voice.

Sam stood there staring at her "What are you talking about?".

Tears streamed down her face "You've hurt me for the last time, I can't do this. I'm tired of waking up and you're not there. I'm tired of sleep by myself, I'm tired of explain why I'm showing up solo to double dates with our friends. I just can't Sam".

Sam stood there stunned at her words; she was leaving him. But she couldn't leave they agreed they would be forever. Forever and Always.

Mercedes got off the bed and slipped on her flip flops; she wiped her tears and looked at Sam, she then looked at the car keys in her hand then back at Sam "I'll handle the wedding stuff, I'll call your mom too if you want. It should be that hard to cancel a wedding right?" she said trying to make the last part up beat but failed.

Mercedes than tried to walk out there bedroom door but Sam stopped her by tugging on her arm. She looked back at him and began to get lost in his green orbs. "No, you can't leave" he said looking deep into her eyes.

Can u help me?
Tell me why you want to leave
Baby help me
Cause without you my whole world is falling apart
And with out I think I'll go crazy! Life's a
prison when your in love alone

(Oh girl) I need you come back home (you know I need you)
I don't want to be alone

(Please stay don't go) To give me another chance I
want to be your man
Girl, you got me down here on my knees
Crying, begging pleading
I'll do anything for your love
Would you help me?
Tell me what you want from me
Can u help me?
I don't understand
Girl I just a man
Help me
Can help me
With out you my whole world is falling apart
And without you girl I'm going crazy! Life a
prison without your love

"Sam please don't make this hard" she said as tears fell down her face.

Sam got down on his knees held her by her short chocolate legs; he skin was so soft. He rested his head on the purple cotton shorts she was wear and he hugged her legs tight. "Please Baby, don't go. I love you. I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'll do anything, just don't go. I need you" cried Sam.

"Sam please" cried Mercedes.

"No, I'm not letting you go. Don't leave me! I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you" cried Sam.

"Your job is obviously more important" she cried out.

Sam stood up and held her by the cheeks holding her tight, but not too tight to the point where he was hurting her. "No, no its not. I want you! You're all I want. I wanna marry you and I want you to be the mother of my children. I'm not letting you go Mercedes" he yelled.

"Sam, I'm not bringing kids into this world if their father is never there. I'll be damned if you tell our son or daughter you'll be at their event and you disappoint them".

"I'll be there, I promise" he told her.

"You've said that once before. Just let me go Sam" cried Mercedes.

Sam crashed his lips into her now holding her around her waist. Tears streamed from both Sam and Mercedes eyes as the kiss got deeper and deeper. Mercedes relaxed in his grasp and fought for dominance in the kiss. Sam walked her over to their bed not the kiss; he leaned forward on her causing her to fall back onto their bed. Mercedes began to finish the shirt Sam started un buttoning and Sam tugged at her cotton shorts. Within a couple of seconds their clothes were scattered around there room, the summer breeze came into their room through the open from as their love began to intensify for each other their actions they were doing to each other. Sam attached his lips to Mercedes again and soon entered her body. Condoms were no longer an item in their house since they got engaged a year and half ago. Mercedes pulled away from his kiss and let out a heavy breath.

Can u help me?
Tell me why, why, why, why, why, why
Can u help me?
Girl I'm here this time because your all I got
Can u help me?
Help me understand why I can't be your man
It's driving me crazy
Crazy, crazy, crazy

[Fading]

"Help me Baby, help me make this better" he said as he did slow thrust into her.

Mercedes whimpered "Help me make it up to you. Help me be a better man" he said.

"Don't leave me, marry me" he said keeping the slow pace.

There love making lasted hours and hours on end. Sam repeatedly asked for Mercedes forgiveness with each love mark, kiss, and thrust.

In the wee hours of the morning Sam finally stopped and hovered over Mercedes as heavy breaths landed on her. He gently kissed her face and her swollen lips. "Please stay?" asked quietly.

Mercedes did a slow nodded; Sam grinned "I love you so much" he said.

"I love you" she said with a small smile.

Mercedes looked into his eyes and saw the old Sam again; he didn't look over worked or tired he just looked like Sam. "You'll never do this again?" she asked.

"Never" he said. Mercedes saw the truth in his eyes, there wasn't a lie in sight and she was happy that she finally had her Sam back.
