Hey there folks, a little longer chapter for you. I hope you enjoy…
Sam and Mercedes were putting the finishing touches on their costumes. She was going as Pocahontas and he was going as John Smith. He looked at her in her cut off dress, long hair and sandals and couldn't help but stare. He took in her beauty and the way the cut of the dress showed off all the right curves. He couldn't be happier if he won the lottery.
While he was staring, Mercedes turned from her mirror and looked at her boyfriend. She loved the way the costume fit him and was impressed at how specific he was when he got it tailored to his body. She admired the way the tights showed off his firm butt and she couldn't help the tingling sensation that began to rise at her core.
They both stood staring until they heard the buzzer outside the condo ring. She ran to answer the call and Sam was left missing her gaze.
"Hello, Hello," Mercedes said as she pressed the buzzer.
"Hey girl, it's me and Lauren. We're waiting for you and that trout mouth boyfriend of yours to come on so we can get this party started. The red carpet is waiting," Santana said.
"We'll be done in a minute Tana. Did y'all want to come up," She said.
"No Mama. If we come up, it'll take you guys even longer to come down. So get in gear and let's go," Santana replied then walking off.
Mercedes let go of the buzzer and went back to her room to get Sam. He was putting on his shoes and she walked over, pulled his head up, and kissed him. "I just wanted to do that before we get to this party and I get super busy kissing butt. I love you," She said.
"As long as you save a dance or two for me Mercy, I'll be fine. I love you too," She responded.
They got up and left the condo. When they made it down stairs, they got into the limo with Santana and Lauren where they gave then the rundown of the red carpet.
When they arrived to the party, Mercedes watched the huge crowd of fans and reporters outside Club Infinity. Someone leaked the location of the party on twitter and now the area was crowded. She immediately grabbed Sam's hand and held tight. She told him to stay close because she didn't want to lose him in the crowd of cameras.
When they opened the car door, Sam and Mercedes were guided through to the red carpet. Camera lights were flashing and that caused Sam to get a little nervous. They walked up to the first reporter after taking several shots and Sam went blank. The reporter asked several questions about the EP and about her relationship with Sam and he was still comatose. Mercedes gave them simple answers and kept their private life at a minimum and walked off. They continued through the same way until they reached the last reporter.
The reporter went through the typical questions, but then she asked something about Sam's baseball career. That surprised him. He answered the question with ease and he and Mercedes went inside the building.
"You got lost there for a while until the end babe," Mercedes said.
"I had no idea it was like that. I couldn't get my thoughts together until that last reporter. I was shocked back to life. I can't believe she knows who I am."
"Pretty soon everyone will know who you are Sammy. You are an amazing baseball player and I couldn't be prouder."
"Well, I'm proud of you. You handle this with so much ease and you're so beautiful. You are amazing Mercy. I love you."
"I love you too. Let's go have some fun."
They met Lauren and Santana at the entrance and waited until they were introduced so Mercedes could make her entrance and give an introductory speech. They soon announced her name and when she walked in, everyone screamed and clapped as she went to the stage. Sam went to the front of the crowd and watched his Mercy.
"Oh wow, thank you all for coming. I'm so excited about this new release because it's diverse. I was able to show many different sides of myself in a more freeing format and I hope you all enjoy it. It was an honor to work with Artie, Dereck, and Andre on the records. I love the way we flowed and made everything work. Special thanks for support to my family, my friend, to Lauren and Santana, to all my lovely fans, and finally to Sam; I love you baby," She gave her speech and got off the stage so she could party to her music.
She was finally able to take a good look at the club. There was a bar in the middle of the building facing directly in from the huge stage with multiple level shelves of liquor. The dance floor surrounded the bar island and the DJ booth was placed high right next to the stage. There were multiple lights creating a show in the club. Surrounding the dance floor were tables and sofas in the shape of the infinity sign circling the edges. There was an upstairs that led to the V.I.P area where the executives and others were able to lounge around and have cocktails. She knew she would eventually have to make an appearance to shake some hands.
She found Sam sitting at the bar and walked up to him and hugged his waist, rubbing his abs and kissing the back of his neck. He didn't turn, but took in the feeling of her hands and lips on him. He eventually said, "That was a great speech Mercy. I love you too." He turned around and kissed her lips softly. When they pulled apart he ordered her a drink, but she didn't have time to take it because Lauren pulled her away to go meet with the execs.
Sam decided to stay at the bar and wait for her. He was having Mercedes' drink when that reporter from earlier made her way to him. "Hi handsome, why are you sitting here alone and not dancing," She asked.
"Oh, hi. I'm just waiting for my girlfriend. Thanks for the compliment," He said turning away from her. She didn't take his brush off, so she sat and continued to talk to him.
"So how long have you and the infamous Mercy J been together?"
Not wanting to be rude, Sam turned to her and said, "Off record, we've been together for a while."
"So it's true love then?"
"The truest," He said.
"And you're happy?"
"Where are these questions coming from, of course I'm happy. The happiest I've ever been. Who are you," Sam asked, getting upset.
"I'm just a fan Sam. I think you are very sexy and I love the things I've seen and heard about you. If you aren't happy, I know I'm the type of woman that can make you happy."
"And what type is that because from what I see, you aren't my type. I don't go for women who would willingly try to break up a good relationship. I love Mercedes Jones, the infamous Mercy J (as you call her) and I always will. She's already in my future and you can quote that."
"Oh come on Sam. Athletes and entertainers aren't that loyal. What we do will be private. No one's around and your girlfriend is busy making sure she has an even bigger career."
"I'm not interested. Why don't you find another man to take care of for the night? If you'll excuse me," Sam said walking away. He went towards the rope that blocked the V.I.P stairwell and he saw Mercedes walking down with Kendrick Lamar. She noticed Sam and she stopped in front of him.
"Dre, I'll be happy to work on a song for your new album. Let me know when you want to record and we can work out something."
"Ok MJ, I really want you on this one. That little free style we did in Cali was hitting and it went crazy on YouTube. We've got to get something down on paper," He said.
"You know I'm all for making good music Dre. I can fit you in my schedule before I go on tour; just get your manager to hit up Lauren."
"Alright girl, I better get out of here. I love the EP and I'll see you Cali. Love you," He said.
"Love you too. Oh Dre," She said before he walked off, "This is Sam, my boyfriend. Sam this is Kendrick Lamar."
"Nice to meet you Sam, your girl is amazing. You keep her close," He said.
"I definitely will, nice meeting you too," Sam said, giving him a nod goodbye.
He grabbed Mercedes' hand and led her to the dance floor. "I hope you are done with your butt kissing tonight. I want to get some Mercy time," He said as he got behind her and did a body roll.
Mercedes laughed and said, "You got me for the rest of the night Sammy, I promise."
Mercedes and Sam laughed and danced the night away. Mercedes stayed with Sam like she promised until the end of the night when she got back on the stage and did a little performance and said her goodbyes. Going back to her condo, things became heated in the car and as they walked through the door, Mercedes immediately pushed Sam to the wall and kissed his neck. He turned her around picked her up, and in that place, they made loud passionate love.
The next morning, Sam was up packing for his flight. He looked at Mercedes and remembered the night they spent making love in every part of that condo. He was sad that she was going to leave him for again, but he understood that they both had obligations. He looked at her sleeping form and locked it into his memory.
Mercedes stirred and woke after she heard some rustling and knew it was Sam. She got out of bed after stretching and looked over to where he was bent over packing.
"Good morning handsome," She said.
"Hey babe, did I wake you?"
"Yes you did," She laughed, "But I have to get up and get ready anyway. Last night was amazing by the way," She said as she looked around the disheveled room.
"Yes, very fun. I guess I wanted to leave an impression on us both."
"Well, I appreciate that. I'll be remembering and missing this until New Year."
"And then we'll do it all over again."
She got out the bed and kissed him then proceeded to the bathroom to shower. When she got out, Sam had finished packing both their things and was in the kitchen with breakfast he bought from the coffee shop down stairs. They sat and ate together until their taxi arrived to take them to the airport. They booked flights around the same time so they could have proper goodbyes.
When they made it to the airport, Sam helped Mercedes with her bags and they both checked in for their flights. They sat in the waiting area soon after and they enjoyed each other's company. When Mercedes' flight arrived, he helped her up and gave her long passionate kisses and held her while she let a few tears shed. He told her goodbye and waited until she was on her flight to let his own tears fall.
With her carry on, Mercedes entered her flight and found her seat in first class. She got comfortable and after a few hour on flight, she opened her bag for her phone. She ran across a box and took it out. She opened it and in it was a little charm necklace with a musical note and a letter. She opened the letter and saw it was from Sam.
Mercy,
Just thought I'd give you a little gift for completing your EP. You are the most amazing person I know and I am so happy to be able to call you my future. I love you and always will. Be safe in Cali, I'll see you soon.
Mercedes cried as she put the necklace on and sighed with so much love for that man. When her flight landed in Cali, her phone buzzed and she looked at the pictures Santana sent her. It was of her and Sam in the airport holding each other and the other was of Sam sitting alone with a few tears in his eyes. Her heart broke a bit, but she smiled when she saw the post.
