Mercedes walked into the lunchroom and observed that Sam and Tina had already taken a seat at one of the corner tables. Mercedes approached them and said, "Have you guys been waiting long?" When she had taken her seat, she gave Sam a peck on the lips.
"Not long." Sam replied holding her left hand under the table.
Tina gazed at them with admiration and said, "You guys are too cute together…" She sighed.
Mercedes had told Tina about her relationship with Sam once she was sure about her love for him. Tina had been very supportive of their relationship and kept it on the down low since Mercedes and Sam were both working at the school.
Mercedes felt shy all of sudden, she bit her lower lip and said, "Thank you, Tina." She looked in Sam's direction and saw him smiling at Tina.
"So, what was the deal with Finn's face?" Mercedes asked feigning interest. Both Sam and Mercedes had decided not to make a big deal out of what had happened the previous night. She was actually interested to know what explanation Finn had come up with to cover his screw up.
Tina leaned in a little closer to her and said in a hushed tone, "Well, I heard that Finn had gotten his nose broken and eyes bruised when he tried to save an old lady from a bunch of muggers last night. Apparently they had attacked him when he ran after them to get back the old lady's purse. Who would have known that he would be so thoughtful?" Tina stated.
Once Mercedes heard Tina utter those words she almost started laughing. She could hear Sam chuckling which didn't help her control. When Mercedes glanced at Sam, she completely lost it; Sam was flushed and was biting his lips in the attempt to control his laughter.
"What's so funny?" Tina asked, puzzled.
"Oh, nothing it was just an inside joke." Sam explained.
Tina shook her head at the both of them and said, "Anyway, I just find it a little fishy that all this really happened but hey what do I know!"
Mercedes couldn't believe what a liar Finn turned out to be. She was glad that he had shown his true colors in the end. People like Finn were the reason why she had a hard time trusting in love. She gripped Sam's hand a little harder, thankful for having such a great man in her life.
Sam gazed at her and asked, "Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine…" Mercedes smiled.

Mercedes was getting into Sam's car after work, when her phone started ringing. "Hello…" She said.
"Hey, Merc…" Santana said on the other line.
"Hey, San... I've missed you, girl. How have you been?" Mercedes greeted after she was seated in the passenger seat. Sam gave her a 'who is it?' look. 'Santana' Mercedes mouthed.
"I'm good, Merc… I was just wondering if you would be able to come out to dinner with me tonight. We could go somewhere quiet and catch up…" Santana suggested.
"Yeah, we can meet for dinner." Sam gave her a sad look when she stated this. Mercedes placed her hand over his and stroked the back of his hand gently.
"Meet me at Sally's Diner at say 7?" Santana said.
"Sure San. I'll see you there…" Mercedes replied ending the conversation.
"So I guess I'm having dinner alone tonight huh…" Sam said sadly.
"Sorry Sam but I have to go. Something must be going on. Santana never ask me out on a weekday unless it was for something important. Why don't you meet up with Noah for dinner?" Mercedes glanced at Sam while stating this.
"That would be a no thanks on dinner with Noah. Knowing Noah, he'd probably bring me to some seedy strip club or worse try to hook me up with some chick." Sam said shaking his head.
"Haven't you told him about us yet?" Mercedes frowned.
"Yes, I have but Noah doesn't believe in monogamy. He's a screw them and move on kind of guy. That's why I prefer not to go out with him." Sam shrugged.
"I won't stay out too long. I promise."
"No don't you worry about me. You go enjoy yourself, Mercy… I'll be alright by myself." Sam smiled and kissed Mercedes on the cheek.
"I love you, Sam." Mercedes gushed. Sam was such a thoughtful boyfriend; Mercedes was glad that he belonged to her.
"I love you too, Mercy. Now let's get you home so you can get ready for dinner." Sam started the car ignition and drove back to his place.

Mercedes had arrived ten minutes early and was now waiting for Santana at Sally's Diner. She was going through the menu when Santana arrived not too long after. "Hey girl, have you been waiting long?" Santana asked as she placed her bag on the table and promptly took a seat.
"5 minutes or so… Why haven't you changed?" Mercedes stated when she saw that her best friend was still wearing a grey pencil skirt suit.
"Didn't have time… I had to rush here from the office."
There were a few moments of silence before Mercedes broke it. "What's wrong San? You never ask me to meet you on a weekday unless something was wrong."
Santana sighed and replied, "It's Britt… She's going to be gone for two months to promote her fashion line and I'm just bummed that I won't be seeing her for that amount of time. Our place is going to be so quiet without her."
"I'm sorry, San… two months will fly by though. Don't be too sad alright…" Mercedes said as she reached out for Santana's hand. When she had it, she squeezed her best friend's hand in an attempt to soothe her.
"Thanks, Merc… I guess I'll have to learn to adapt to being alone while Britt is gone."
"You can always hangout with me!" Mercedes suggested excitedly.
"No, thanks… No offense but I don't want to have to witness you and Trouty making out..." Santana said cringing.
"Your loss…" Mercedes giggled.
"He makes you happy doesn't he?" Santana said referring to Sam.
"I've never been happier; Sam is too good to me. He even fought Finn last night to protect my honor."
"Whoa… Back up a minute. What did Pillsbury Dough Turd do?" Santana asked. Mercedes went on to explain what had happened the other night.
"What an asshole. I would have clawed his balls out if he had said that in front of me. What Sam did was way too nice." Santana ranted angrily.
"You should have seen him though; it was like he was another Sam altogether. It was so hot…" Mercedes stated fanning herself with her hand.
"Let me guess, you rewarded him with great sex afterwards." Santana said cheekily.
"None of your business, nosey…" Mercedes chuckled.
"Well, I'm glad to hear that you're very satisfied in bed. He must have a big penis..." Santana said rather loudly, winking at Mercedes.
"Shut up. Did you want everybody to hear you?" Mercedes stated as she gazed around the restaurant.
"Whatever, girl… If I were straight and my man had a big penis I would want to announce it to the world." Santana shrugged.
Mercedes couldn't help but laugh at her best friend, Santana was crass but that was one of the reasons why she loved the other woman so much. They continued their dinner talking about work and planning another get together with the gang. At 10 pm they both said their goodbyes and headed home.
When Mercedes got home that night, Sam was already asleep. She got ready for bed, kissed Sam on the forehead and went to sleep.
It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon, after having lunch at the Trolley Stop Sandwich Shop; Sam and Mercedes decided to go for a walk around the Main Street where Mercedes lived. They were looking into a store window display, when they heard someone say, "Hey Mercy… I haven't seen you in a while."
Sam looked up and saw Joe Hart standing in front of them.
"Oh my god, Joe… You scared me!" Mercedes yelped, with a hand on her chest.
"Sorry… I guess, I wasn't thinking when I snuck up on you." Joe said sheepishly.
Mercedes chuckled at the younger man and said, "Joe, you remember Sam right? Sam is now my boyfriend." Mercedes linked her hand onto Sam's and looked at him adoringly. Sam felt like he was on cloud nine after hearing Mercedes tell Joe about their relationship.
"Of course, I remember Sam and congrats you guys." Joe said giving them a bright smile.
"So, how have you been Joe? It's been about two months since we last saw you right?" Sam joined in the conversation.
"I've been good, man thanks for asking… Things are still the same. Nothing much had changed." Joe replied, he then turned to Mercedes and said, "I remembered you promising me a dinner. How come you never called?"
"Sorry, Joe… I've been a little busy lately." Mercedes said looking first at Joe and then at Sam.
"I figured. Listen, I have to go for now. I'm supposed to meet a few friends for a late lunch but it was really nice seeing the both of you again. Call me if you have the time, Mercy…" Joe waved at the both of them and walked away.
Sam was amazed at how easy he felt after running into Joe. The old Sam would've been jealous of Joe Hart but the new Sam had more confidence not only in himself but also for the woman he loved. The younger man was no longer a threat to Sam and he was certain that Mercedes would never leave him for Joe.
Sam beamed at the revelation; Mercedes must have noticed his smile because she asked, "What are you smiling about?"
Sam wrapped his arm around her, pulling her closer to him and said, "Nothing… I'm just happy that's all." He then kissed her hair.
"That's good that you're happy because I feel the same way." She smiled sweetly at him.
The couple continued walking down the street enjoying the beautiful day.

It had been two months since the confrontation with Finn. The gym renovation at Winston Hill Middle School had been completed. His business was booming, which meant more time spent at the office and less time at home with Mercedes.
Sam was in his office going through the paperwork that was piled high on his desk. He was too engrossed in his work that he did not realize that Noah Puckerman had entered. "Dude, what the hell is going on with your office?" Noah questioned, looking around the unorganized space.
Sam looked up from his work and said, "It's messy, I know… I just hadn't had the time to file all this mess. Do me a favor; file these in that drawer over there." Sam gave Noah a stack of papers and pointed to the filing cabinet to the left of him.
Noah took the stack of papers that was given to him, opened the first drawer of the filing cabinet, and dumped all the papers in the drawer. "Done…" He said.
"Seriously, man... That's not funny." Sam said agitated at his friend.
"What do I look like your secretary? You need to hire someone to do all this for you." Noah said after taking a seat on the other side of Sam's desk.
"I know but I don't have the time to interview and hire someone…" Sam explained and then an idea hit him. "Why don't you hire someone, Noah? You're good with people right!" Sam said brightly.
Noah sighed and said, "Fine. I'll do the interviews and hiring but you cannot complain about my choice. Whoever I hire will stay even if you don't like her."
"Deal…"

Sam walked into the office at 11 am after meeting with a client, one week later. He saw a petite woman with long brunette hair, wearing a hideous ensemble consisting of a black button up blouse and red and black plaid skirt.
"Who are you?" Sam asked confused by her presence.
"Hi, I'm Rachel Berry your new secretary." Rachel held out her hand for Sam to shake.
Sam shook her hand and said, "Sam Evans your boss."
Noah walked in just then. "Ah so you guys have met…" Noah said chirpily.
"Yes." Both Sam and Rachel said together.
"Looks like you've found your desk." Sam said when he saw that Rachel had already set up her desk outside his office. "I'll be in my office sorting through paperwork for you to file-"
Rachel piped in before he could finish. "I've already filed all the paperwork for you Mr. Evans."
Sam was impressed by his secretary's diligence. "Thank you Rachel. I guess I'll go into my well organized office now. If you need anything just knock."
When Rachel nodded, Sam turned around and went into his office with Noah following behind him.
Noah closed the door and sat down. "She's good huh. You can thank me now…" Noah said smugly.
"Thank you, Noah. There, you got your appreciation now get out of my office." Sam declared playfully.
Noah laughed and said, "Whatever, dude. You know you wouldn't be able to get her without me. She is a good worker and hot… What else can you ask for in a secretary?"
"I don't care about her hotness, Noah. I don't find her attractive at all actually." Sam replied nonchalantly.
"Then you don't mind if I have a go with her?" Noah raised a brow.
"That would be a hell no… You are not going to sleep with my secretary. You're just asking for trouble if you do that and I don't want to have to go through a lawsuit. So stay away, Noah…" Sam warned.
"Fine…" Noah stated frowning.
"Thank you." Sam didn't know why but he had a feeling that Rachel Berry was going to cause trouble for him and Noah. God, I hope this won't blow up in my face.

He came home late that Friday night. There was a business meeting with a few clients that went on till late; it was almost midnight when he reached home. Sam opened the bedroom door and saw that Mercedes was already asleep; she looked peaceful in her slumber. Sam slipped off his clothes and joined Mercedes on the bed. He spooned with her, kissing her forehead when he got situated.
Mercedes woke up just then; she turned around to face him, buried her face on his neck, and said. "Sammy, I've missed you..." She then looked at him and gave him a tired smile.
"I've missed you too, Mercy… How was your day?" Sam questioned while playing with her hair.
Mercedes was on summer vacation so Sam did not expect anything special to have happened that day. "It was ok, I guess... Nothing interesting happened. What about you? Did you land that project you were telling me about?" Mercedes took his hand, entwining his fingers with hers.
"Noah hired me a secretary. Her name is Rachel Berry. The meeting with the clients went well, that's why I was out so late, just a few more things to clear with them and we're in." Sam told Mercedes about his day.
"That's good that you now have a secretary. You really needed one, baby… I've seen your office and it was horrendous." Mercedes giggled.
"Hey… It wasn't that bad." Sam said offended by her statement.
"Yes, it was but it's ok… Now that you have a secretary, she can help you with your mess." Mercedes stated.
Sam kissed her deeply to shut her up; he rolled them over and got between her legs. "God, I've missed you… I'm so hungry for you right now." Sam said lustfully.
Mercedes didn't answer, instead she ran her hands along his back and cupped and squeezed his ass. Sam growled onto her mouth, he invaded her mouth with his tongue ravishing her. When He ground his throbbing erection on to her panty covered vagina, Mercedes moaned. "Take off your boxers, I can't wait any longer." She demanded.
It had been a hectic week, Sam had not been able to make love to Mercy for five long days and he was starving for her. Sam got up and quickly took off his boxers, he went to his sock drawer to retrieve a condom and when he got back to his bed, Mercedes was already naked and was lying on top of the comforter waiting for him.
Sam admired Mercedes in all her naked glory. Lying on his bed, legs spread open waiting for him to enter her. "God, you're beautiful, Mercy…" Sam said breathlessly.
Too horny to think of anything else, Sam ripped the condom and placed it on his rigid penis. He then crawled between her legs and entered her wet hole. "Ugh…" They both moaned.
Mercedes grabbed his head and kissed him desperately while Sam pumped in and out of her. Her vagina was so wet and tight that Sam had to think of frogs and snakes to make sure that he did not climax too soon.
Sam changed his pace, instead of pounding into her; he was now pumping into her slowly, swiveling his hips in a circular motion, which made his abs graze her clit. "Don't stop doing that…" Mercedes demanded pulling away from their kiss.
Sam kept at that rhythm kissing her deeply and swiveling his erection into her for a few more minutes until he felt his orgasm boiling over. "Come for me, Mercy…" Sam leaned over so that he could suckle her nipple. He licked around the chocolate orb at first, sucking on it gently at first and harder later.
It wasn't long before he felt Mercedes writhing under him, screaming, "I'm coming…"
When he felt her vagina convulse, Sam came hard. He pumped in and out of her slowly until he was spent and slumped onto her body. Mercedes welcomed his weight, kissing his chest and saying. "I've missed this. 5 days was just too long of a wait."
Sam rolled over, pulling her onto his chest when he had found his breath. "It was way too long for me too, Mercy. I love you, baby…" Sam said lovingly while rubbing circles on her back.
"I love you too, Sam…" Mercedes leaned in closer to him and kissed his chest.
The couple laid in bed basking in the post-love making bliss. Little did they know that a storm was about to hit their relationship, leaving the both of them with a broken heart.
So what did you think? Did you love it or hate it? What did you think about Finn's explanation? Also, Rachel Berry is in the picture now. Will she be the villain of the story or will it be Joe?
Well that's all for today, the next chapter will be up on Saturday.
