***This chapter has no samcedes but it's what happens after the non-date. Tinacedes and Brodcedes in this chapter. You guys get to see the scandalous side of Tina.*** As I'm editing this, I remember one reviewer didn't like this chapter and said I turned them off to the whole story cuz it was focused on Tina and her drama. I just felt the story would be missing a key element if you didn't get this portion***
Mercedes wiped her face clean as Tina leaned on the door with Zoey on her hip smiling. Mercedes pretended to ignore her presence there as she knew she wanted to know details. What was there to say exactly, other than Blaine ruining their date? That wasn't really a date. She walked over to the shower and turned it on and began undressing as Tina walked in and sat on the toilet.
"So..." Mercedes said looking at Tina. "You're just going to sit till I talk about the non-date?" She asked before entering the shower.
"Ya damn right... you know I live off of other people's business." She replied. Mercedes continued to shower as she told her the blow by blow. "I still don't understand why you came home afterwards. You were supposed to go back to his place and let him give you a proper back adjustment."
"Tina it was just dinner!" Mercedes reminded her peaking from behind her shower curtains. "Plus I'm not that kinda girl." She was never the type to give it up on the first date. Hell, Blaine waited six whole months before they had sex but that was a different story. He was in New York a lot so it wasn't like they were near each other the full six months.
"Yeah... I know mother Theresa! Anyway what else happened?" Mercedes thought about the night and how she really enjoyed Sam's company. It would have been one of her best dates had Blaine and Brody not show up.
"Oh well then Brody showed up with Blaine...I told you about that." Mercedes replied. "But it was kinda funny...'cause Brody was looking at me like he'd never seen me in makeup before." She giggled. "Kept telling me I was beautiful till Sam reminded him that he said it already." She laughed again but paused when she didn't hear Tina laugh as well. Every one and they momma knew Tina was a jealous person so Mercedes peaked at her and saw her looking pensive. "Hey... you know I don't see Brody that way right? He's like my older brother practically."
"Oh yeah right... I know." She replied quickly smiling. Mercedes nodded and returned behind the curtain. "You did look pretty tonight though."
"All because of you, girl."
"So did Brody ever explain what he was doing there with Blaine?"
"No... I didn't ask 'cause honestly I didn't care! I just wanted them out of there so that I could continue my non-date." Mercedes laughed. "The whole thing is crazy. Sam's not ready to move on. The other night he said her name in his sleep. He's obviously not ready to move on." Mercedes continued. "Tina?" She asked when she heard no response she realized Tina had left her talking to herself.
In the other room, Tina searched for Mercedes cellphone in her purse till she found it. Zoey fell asleep on her shoulder so she took her to her room and in her crib as she unlocked the phone. She'd seen Mercedes unlock it plenty times so she knew the pattern. She looked over her shoulder as she scrolled till she found Brody's name and text history. Most of the conversation was one sided with Brody saying good morning beautiful.
"Good morning beautiful? Good morning beautiful? He's never sent me any text messages saying anything like that?" She said to herself. Mercedes responses were always vague with a hey here and there. At one point Brody lost his mind and texted her "hey baby" and Mercedes replied back with a question mark. "That's my girl!" Tina laughed as she read him lying that he mistakenly sent her that message. "Brody you're so thirsty!" She said as she deleted his number and blocked his number from her phone. Then she pulled out her own and called him.
"Tina, what do you want?" He replied.
"I want you to stop drooling after my best friend."
"Oh my God, is this about tonight at the restaurant?" He immediately assumed. "Look, I apologized. I didn't think Blaine was going to be an ass."
"This is the same Blaine that you and I know right? He's always been an ass and you know it!"
"Whatever... I apologized."
"Just stay away from her."
"You don't get to tell me what to do, Tina! I'm an adult and a man if I'm attracted to someone, no one can stop me from pursuing them. I'm not letting you do that anymore."
"Tina, where are you?" She heard Mercedes say so she hung up on Brody and hid both phones. "Oh there, you left me talking to myself in there." She laughed looking at Tina.
"Yeah your water got steamy so I left to put Zoey to sleep." She lied. She watched as Mercedes tied her hair up for the night and they both walked out the room.
"Cool." She replied. "Hey have you seen my phone I can't seem to remember where I put it?" Mercedes asked looking under the pillows on the sofa. Tina shrugged as if she was clueless inching towards Mercedes handbag.
"Did you check your bed?" She suggested and smiled when Mercedes walked over to her room. She quickly threw Mercedes phone in her handbag and then followed her. "Let me call it for you! Do you have your ringer on?"
"I think so but I really don't remember honestly." She replied still searching through her room. Then Tina's ringtone, Girl by Destiny's Child, started playing really loud from the living room.
"Really Mercedes?"
"My purse... I should have known. Thanks!" She smiled holding her phone. "So you wanna watch a movie or something?"she asked.
"No... I'm actually sleepy... I'll see you in the morning." she said pretending to yawn and head off to Zoey's room.
Mercedes was confused by the way Tina was acting. Her whole mood shifted after she mentioned Brody fawning over her. Mercedes decided maybe she could call him and see what was wrong since Tina was acting so strange but she couldn't find his number. "Darn technology!" She exclaimed realizing she didn't know his number by heart.
She couldn't understand why it was no longer in her contacts. Then she checked her text messages. Brody always sent her awkward text messages that he claimed he sent to every one in the morning, but they were all gone. All of his messages. "That's strange." She thought. "You know what I'll just Facebook him." She thought and messages him saying simply. "Can you call me?" She waited a few minutes then look back and saw he read the message but no reply. "Oh hell to the no... Is he ignoring me?" She looked at her phone waiting on him to reply but still nothing. Little did she know that Tina synced his Facebook to her phone a long time ago to keep tabs on him. When she saw Mercedes message she deleted it and then rolled over to sleep.
The next day Tina continued to have a foul attitude with Mercedes. Mercedes continued to ask her what was wrong but she would just joke it off as if nothing was wrong. Eventually she left with Zoey and Mercedes decided to just go see Brody to see what the hell was Tina not telling her and why Brody was ignoring her message. She prayed Blaine or that other chick wasn't there or things could get ugly.
"Mercedes?"she turned to find a sweaty Brody behind her coming back from his morning run. "What a pleasant surprise!" He said smiling widely at her. "Is something wrong with Zoey or did you come to beat me up about last night?" He asked smiling and walking towards her.
"No I actually came to talk to you." She replied causing him raise his eyebrows in shock. "Don't be so surprised... I messaged you last night and you ignored me." He walked up and opened the door looking at her as if she was crazy.
"I'd never ignore you, Mercedes!" he smiled at her as he held the door for her. She walked and turned just in time to see him checking her out. "But to be honest, after last night, how upset you were...if you messaged me I'd be scared to read it." He laughed. Mercedes pulled her phone out and pulled up the message to show he read it.
"Look...technology doesn't lie!" She handed him the phone and he looked at it as if it was encrypted.
"I must have read it in my sleep or something... I don't remember this at all." He shook his head and sat down. Mercedes looked at him suspiciously then sat next to him. He actually looked like he was telling the truth but from what Tina had told her about him, he was a great liar. "All I remember is Tina calling me last night and yelling at me for messing up your date."
"It wasn't really a date." Mercedes replied.
"Oh... I thought since you were all dressed up looking pretty..." He said looking at her. "I mean... you always look pretty... and you were there with that guy..."
"Yeah and you were there with Blaine... what's your point?" Mercedes asked. He suddenly shifted as if he was uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry about that really... I didn't think he'd act that way." He apologized again. Mercedes pressed her lips together and lifted her hand to stop him.
"Why were you there with him anyway? Tina started acting weird the moment I mentioned you and Blaine... I'm just confused..."
"Well Blaine is my friend and he actually hooked me up with Rachel and... Tina... well she never liked Blaine... she just personally doesn't like him." He paused and looked over at Mercedes and inched closer to her. She moved back away from him eyeing him closely. "Look, I have always had a small... well maybe not small... crush on you..." He said finally placing his hand on her knee.
"Uhhh, Brody... what the hell?" She got up. "Tina is my best friend and the mother of your child! Don't you dare go there!" She turned to walk towards the door.
"I liked you first!" He shouted stopping her. He got up and walked towards her. "That night when I met you both... I tried to talk to you first but Tina said you only dated black guys..." Mercedes thought back to that night years ago. They had just graduated college so they went out to celebrate. Mercedes was definitely into dating only black guys and her eye was on Anthony Rashad that night, which she wished now that she'd ignore him. He ended up being one of her worst boyfriends next to Blaine and watched Tina fall in love with Brody. "Anyway... then you dated Blaine and I'm thinking what happened to all that?"
"Tina convinced me to give him a shot." Mercedes replied softly as she thought back to it all. Brody reached out and touched her hand but she pulled away from him. "Look, Tina is like a sister to me and you're like a brother... she didn't lie to you... I wasn't checking for you..." She opened the door. "You and I would have never happened." With that she walked out.
Brody was hurt hearing Mercedes say that. He really cared about her but she put him in the brozone. That was worst then the friend zone! He knew if he had hooked up with Mercedes he wouldn't have dealt with half the drama he was dealing with his life at the moment. He was dealing with so much with Tina, Zoey, Rachel and Blaine. He needed a friend and the only one he knew he always had was alcohol. He started off with a beer then upgraded to drinking gin. He looked at a picture of him, Tina, Mercedes and Zoey and smiled.
He could have just settled and accepted his life with Tina but he had to ruin it. Well Blaine helped him ruin it. They never liked each other Blaine and Tina. He looked at a picture of him and Blaine holding Zoey and something caught his eye. He brought the picture closer analyzing it when his bell rang. Hoping it was Mercedes coming back saying she changed her mind, he tried to clean up. He walked to the door and opened it.
"Tina?" He opened to see her standing at his doorsteps with a trench-coat on and smiling. "What are you doing here?" He asked looking at her. She didn't reply instead she opened her coat to show she had nothing underneath it. He scanned her body slowly then looked back at her and stepped back letting her in. "Where's Zoey?"
"I took her back to Mercedes'." Tina replied. Hearing her name set off an alarm to his penis as it stood ready for action.
"Good!" He replied before kissing her. She dropped her coat on the ground and hopped into his arms as he pinned her to the wall and sucked on her neck. She wrapped her legs around his waist as he palmed her breast with one hand. She moaned as he continued to tease her nipples.
"Brody... make love to me like you used to!" She begged. He put her down and she pulled a condom out of her coat pocket. He smiled that she came prepared, he reached for it but she shook her head. "It's flavored!" She said with a smile as she pushed him against the other wall, pulled his pants down and placed the condom on using her lips. He tilted his head back, closing his eyes, imagining it was Mercedes sucking his dick. He grabbed a handful of her hair and pushed himself deep in her mouth. "Make love to me, Brody!" She begged again. He turned her around and fucked her till she was screaming his name over and over. He didn't stop even though she kept saying "come inside me." They had sex a couple more times, each time she gave him head with a flavored condom first. He finally pulled away from her to shower and came back to her on the phone with Mercedes and stating that she was spending the night at a guys house.
"Tina?" He called out not caring if Mercedes heard his voice. She looked over at him and then denied if it was Brody's voice Mercedes heard. He laughed and put another condom on and started fucking her while she was on the phone.
"I'll call you back, Mercedes!" She moaned then hung up the phone.
