***Here's the 2nd part of the date...there's a little bit of smut here so proceed with caution lol***

Mercedes smiled as she leaned into Sam's embrace. They watched the fireworks and fed each other funnel cakes. They were down to the last bite and Mercedes was stuffed so she scooped that last piece for him. He opened wide as she placed the last piece in his mouth.

"That was really good." He said with his mouth full. Mercedes shook her head and dipped her finger in the powder sugar that was left on the plate and placed it on his nose. "Hey!" He shouted and dipped his finger in the powdered sugar as well.

"Stop talking with your mouth full." She laughed and dodged his attempt to do the same to her.

"No fair! You did it to me!" He exclaimed as she giggled. She stopped when she felt something wet hit her nose.

"Sam!" She shouted.

"What?" He asked with his eyes wide and his voice hitting a high pitch.

"You spit on —!" She screamed but stopped when she felt another drop hit her cheek. "Oh no!" She felt another drop. "It's raining!"

"It's raining?" He asked reaching up to the sky. And almost as if it were waiting on him to ask that, the rain began to pour down hard. Everyone began to scramble for shelter. Sam took off his jacket and threw it over Mercedes head. She smiled, clutching her teddy bear close to her and grabbed the other end covering his head as well as they ran back to the front entrance.

"Great! My hair is going to be a giant puff ball tomorrow!" Mercedes said removing her cap and shaking water out of her hair.

"Your hair looks nice like that." He said placing a loose strand behind her ear. She sighed and smiled at him before removing the ponytail and allowing her curls to hang loose and puffy.

"This hair is unruly when wet!" Mercedes said putting the cap back on. He stared at her as she tried to get the water out of her hair."What?"

"Thanks for doing this." He rubbed her arms to keep her warm and smiled at her. "I know you didn't want to come and I dragged you out here and everything was ruined with the rain and all…"

"I had fun, Sam!" She cut him off. "It's just water… other than the rain I really had fun today." She smiled nodding at him. He gave her a lopsided smile and looked at the teddy he won her that was damp at the moment. "Don't worry about teddy, I'll put him in the dryer and he'll be good as new." He laughed and kissed her on the forehead.

"Guess we need to find a cab ride home." He said looking as people ran to cabs that pulled up. "Wait right here." He said running out to stop a cab. She watched as he ran from cab to cab missing each by a second to another person.

"Sam!" Mercedes heard Puck scream and then honk his horn. Mercedes smiled as Sam spoke to Puck then came running back to her.

"He'll take us home!"

"Good, because you suck at getting cabs!" Mercedes said as they laughed and ran to the car. They all went up to the apartment together and found Rachel at the table on the verge of enjoying a drink alone. She looked as it she was dressed to party alone as well.

"You all got caught up in the rain?" She asked looking between the three of them and then stopped at Puck. "Who's this?"

"I was on my way home when I bumped into Sam and then it started raining on us."Mercedes lied. Sam and Puck looked at her and then jumped in.

"This is my friend Puck, he saw us walking and offered us a ride." Sam stated as Puck walked over to Rachel and took her hand.

"He mentioned he had a pretty roommate but he didn't tell me it was THE RACHEL BERRY, herself!" Puck said smiling at her. Sam looked at Mercedes and smiled as well. Mercedes could tell Sam prepped Puck. Nothing gets Rachel going more than talking about herself.

"Oh so you've heard of me?" She asked as she watched Puck kiss her hand. "Do you guys want to share a drink with me?"

"I'm actually going to shower and wash my hair…"Mercedes said. "I'll join you all when I'm done." Sam took a step towards her but she stopped him by shaking her head subtly and turning away.

"I guess I'll be right back, Rachel, you two get started while I get out of these wet clothes." He said following Mercedes. Rachel was busy flirting with Puck that she didn't even notice that they both had left. He walked into the bathroom shocking Mercedes. "Babe?" he said walking in and closing the door behind him.

"Sam, you scared me!" She held her chest with her towel. He smiled and pulled her to him. "Come on, Sam! This isn't a good time."

"It's always a good time for a lil somethin' somethin'." He smiled before pushing her against the door and yanking her towel away. "Your hair looks sexy this way." He admired it before kissing her. Mercedes couldn't deny him as he trailed kisses down her always knew just the right thing to say to make her lose focus. And he knew the right places to kiss to get her going. He was on his way to sucking on her breast when they heard Puck and Rachel arguing. "Sam!"

"Just ignore them…I'll be quick! This is how he gets women…" He said kissing her and ignoring the argument. "They hate him at first then they can't stop loving him!" He went back up and kissed her. Mercedes sighed into his kisses and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Are you serious?" Rachel shouted. "You jerk!" Mercedes rolled her eyes and pushed Sam away.

"Sam… just go mediate till I'm done, okay?" She asked him. He stared into her brown eyes and sighed before stepping away. She opened the door and allowed him to step out.

"What's going on, guys?" Mercedes heard him ask as she shut the door behind her. She knew that she had to tell Rachel about her and Sam that night because she couldn't keep this up any longer. When she got out the shower she found Sam had changed and was drinking with Puck on the couch. Just when she was about to ask where Rachel was she stepped out of her room with her drink in hand and rolled her eyes at Puck. She followed Rachel to the kitchen and poured herself a drink as well.

"So…"

"He's a jerk! We have absolutely nothing in common! Why in the world did Sam think I would date someone like him?" Rachel stated cutting her off. Mercedes could tell that Rachel was already a little bit tipsy so she took her drink from her. "Why doesn't he like me?"

"Who?" Mercedes asked pretending not to know she was referring to Sam.

"You know who? It's like I don't even exist to him." she whined. "And then he sets me up with…" she points to where they were seated laughing and drinking. "that?"

"What's wrong with Puck?" she asked knowing she could list a couple things she didn't like about him off the bat, but he was charming and got away with it.

"For one, he claims that because he's worked on the big screen that he's better than me! Me! He called me a small time broadway star!" she shouted and grabbed the drink from Mercedes hand and downed it. "But…"

"What?"

"Nothing. I feel stupid if I say it out loud." she shook her head and poured more in her cup. Mercedes leaned on the counter and crossed her arms and then smiled.

"You think he's cute, don't you?" she asked and laughed when Rachel blushed. "This is crazy! I've never pegged you for the type to like bad boys."

"Me neither…he just looks like something I can fix up. Like a project!" she said before taking a sip. "But I can't get over his inflated ego!"

"Is it because it's bigger than yours?" Mercedes asked laughing.

"I don't have a big ego…at least I don't think I do! I just believe in myself and I see nothing wrong with that!" she smiled and walked out to the living rest of the night they all drank and joked the night away and Mercedes and Sam had to stop Rachel and Puck from arguing the entire night until she went to her room enraged with Puck. Sam offered the couch to Puck for him to sleep because he was pissy drunk.

"I'm going to bed!" Mercedes announced looking at Sam seductively. Sam looked at Puck and gave him a pat on the back and jumped over the couch. Mercedes laughed and ran for his bedroom. He scurried after her and smiled when he saw her undressing in his room. He turned to lock the door before stripping down to join her. She was drunk and she could tell that he was drunk as well as he almost tripped on his pants. "Slow down Sam! I'm not going anywhere." she laughed as he got on top of her.

"Time to pay the Piper!" he said kissing her. She could taste the liquor on his lips as they kissed each other passionately. She rolled him over till she was on top of him and placed kisses down his chest. She looked up at him as he looked at her anticipating her doing the one thing she always said she wouldn't. She wasn't sure what she was doing as she held his penis in her hand and stroked it with her hand. He eyes rolled to the back of his head when she placed kisses on the tip and down the shaft. Mercedes smiled when he hissed and ran his hand through his hair. She took a deep breath and placed him in her mouth. He pumped up into her mouth almost causing her to gag. She stopped and laughed and tried again but she still gagged again. He stopped her and pulled her to him and smiled. "It's okay, practice makes perfect!" she smiled shyly kissing him. He grabbed a condom from the drawer and placed it on then helped her position herself on it.

"Sam…" she moaned as she slid down on it slowly. He grabbed her breast and attempted to suck on her nipple as she began to bounce and grind on him. Mercedes placed her hands in her hair holding them away from her face as he allowed his hands to roam and squeeze every inch of her. She looked down at him and could tell that he was enjoying the view and having her on top riding him.

"I love your hair like that!" he said as he thrusted up into her. Mercedes smiled and bent down to kiss him. He smacked her on the ass a couple times and then rolled her over till he was on top. He placed her legs over his shoulder and kissed her ankles, continuing to give her slow deep strokes. He rubbed her clit with his thumb and smiled as she bit her bottom lip. She loved how he knew what drove her crazy. Within minutes she was coming and screaming into the pillow. He snatched the pillow away and kissed her, jerking into her a few more times before groaning and falling on top of her.

"You're trying to kill me?" Mercedes asked as he got up and tossed the condom in his wastebasket. He crawled back on top of her and kissed her forehead, nose then her lips before rolling to the side and pulling her close.

"How would I live without you?" he replied softly before falling asleep. She looked up at him and smiled. He always said the sweetest things. She grabbed her phone to check the time but saw the selfie they took at the carnival. He was so silly and kept her laughing. Mercedes looked over at him and smiled. She kissed him softly and snuggled into him.

"I think I done lost it and fell in love with you, Sam Evans!" she said softly assuming he was asleep.

The next morning they woke up to the sound of Rachel screaming for Puck to get out of their apartment. Mercedes jumped out of Sam's bed putting her clothes back on and with Sam followed close behind.

"Great…what did he do now?" Sam said as they walked out to the living room watching Puck cover himself with his clothes. Mercedes looked on in shock as Rachel covered her body with her blanket and threw his clothes at him. "Whoa! What happened?"

"She's crazy!" Puck said as he dressed himself. Mercedes looked away as they began to argue. She prayed that this wasn't what it looked like and that they did not have sex last night. The look on Sam's face said he was praying the same thing. Rachel looked embarrassed and Puck looked pissed the hell off.
