Sam was sitting at his desk finishing up his break when Brittany walked in and locked the door behind her.
" Hey Brit-"
Brittany cut him off by straddling him and kissing him passionately.
" Brittany not now. I have to get back to work." Sam said as she kissed him on his neck
" You still have ten minutes left. I'll be real quick." Brittany said giggling.
"Brittany, not today" Sam said frustrated.
" What's wrong with you? You've been acting strange all week." Brittany said.
" Are you sick or something?"
" No, it's just..." Sam took a deep breath. " I'm going to tell mercedes about us."
" Really?! Oh babe that makes me so happy!" Brittany said hugging him.
" Don't get too excited okay. I don't know what's going to happen after all of this."
" What do you mean?" Brittay asked concerned.
" I mean, I don't know what's going to happen between you and me."
" Are you breaking up with me?"
" No, I'm just saying I haven't completely decided if I'm going to fix my marriage or not."
" Fine then. Call me when you decide." Brittany said and she stormed out.
Sam didn't know what he was going to do. He honestly couldn't decide between Mercedes and Brittany." It should be a no brainer right?" Sam thought.
Later
Today was the day. Mercedes was going to finally confront Sam about his affair with Brittany and face their issues head on. Mercedes was sitting at the kitchen table when Sam walked in.
" Hey" Sam said.
" We need to talk" Mercedes said sternly
" I'm glad you said that because there is something I've been meaning to talk you about." Sam said sitting down across from her.
" I know about your affair with Brittany. I've know that you have been sleeping with her for a year now." Mercedes said.
" When did you find out?" Sam asked looking down at his hands.
" My birthday." Mercedes said trying to hold back tears. " I suspected for months but when you said you were working late again that night was fed up and I had to know the truth. Later that night I went to your office and when I got there, I heard your voice, say "I love you", just like you said to me a million times. Pushed open the door, and there you were, all over each other." she said her voice breaking.
" Mercy I-"
" Don't" Mercedes said cutting him off. " Please don't call me that" She said through tears.
" I didn't want you to find out that way. Especially not on your birthday." Sam said. " I don't know how this all started but it just happened. You and I have been having our own issues and I guess though all of the mess I fell for her. I never meant to hurt you." Sam said.
Mercedes shook her head in digust.
"I'm so sorry" Sam said sadly.
" You're not sorry. If you were sorry you wouldn't have continued sleeping with her!" Mercedes said angrily. " If you were sorry would have come to me like a real man and told me how you were feeling. How could you do this to us?" Mercedes said standing up.
" What you did was selfish and disrespectful to our marriage. 'I'm sorry' Mercedes said mockingliy. " You're sorry alright, you're a sorry excuse for a man. You disgust me."
" Oh really?!" Sam yelled angrily
" How long have you been screwing your guy huh?" Sam said walking towards her.
Mercedes stood there glaring at him.
" You didn't think I knew about that did you." Sam said standing in front of her. "I saw the gifts. The dresses, the jewlry, the flowers. I even heard the two of you the other night. You've got a lot of nerve coming at me like you're so innocent in all of this. You're right, I did step out on our marriage but so did you. That makes you no better than me. So don't stand there and lecture me about our marriage! At least no one is paying me to sleep with them. Tell me, how many gifts did it take for you to spread your legs for him?" Sam said coldly
* SMACK*
Mercedes slapped Sam across the face.
" Go to hell! And take your whore with you!" Mercedes said coldly.
Mercedes stormed out of the kitchen and went into their bedroom. She was packing her things when Sam walked in.
" What are you doing?" Sam asked.
" I'm leaving you Sam. It's over between us." Mercedes said while collecting her things.
" You know what? fine, leave. Your making things a whole lot easier between me and Brittany anyway" Sam said coldy.
Mercedes shoved passed Sam carrying two suitcases and didn't look back.
Mercedes showed up on Jason's doorstep and knocked. Jason opened up the door to see Mercedes with tears running down her face.
" Mercedes what's wrong?" Jason asked concerned.
" I left him Jason. It's over" Mercedes said through tears.
" It's alright baby. I'll take care of you" Jason said hugging Mercedes.
Jason hated to see Mercedes devestated like this. But he would be lying to himself if he said he wasn't a little happy now that Mercedes was now his.
Sam's POV
It's over. Four years of love and marriage gone. Even though I was finding happiness with Brittany, I honestly didn't think it would hurt this much to lose Mercedes. I guess I really didn't know what I had.
