The girls spent two hours shopping before heading to the spa to get their beauty treatments done, when they were finished with their massages and facials, they moved on to the manicure and pedicure station.

As soon as they had settled down, Mercedes looked at Sugar and said, "I take it things are going well with Finn?"

"Yeah, we're going to attempt a long distance relationship. It'll be hard but I only have two years of college left and after that who knows, I might move to LA to be with Finn. I want to start out fresh with the man I love." Sugar stated, a blush creeping onto her cheeks.

Mercedes caught the last part of Sugar's statement and was extremely happy that her new friend had found love in her best friend. Finn had not told Mercedes that he was in love with Sugar but she knew better. Her best friend was as good as gone when it came to the brown haired beauty. It was refreshing to see him so smitten with someone from the opposite sex. "I'm glad that you are taking this whole relationship seriously. Finn deserves to be loved and having someone like you to love him makes everything so much better. Thank you, Sugar." She smiled.

"No thanks needed, Mercedes. I love Finn. Sometimes I can't believe that he's in love with me too…"

"So how's the sex? Was it good?" Tina asked finally joining the conversation.

"Oh my god Tina, I can't believe you just asked that. What is the matter with you!" Mercedes said in horror.

"What? I was just curious… Besides, don't tell me you've never wondered about Finn bedding a woman before. For the longest time I thought he was gay, you know because he's never hooked up with any girl in college." Tina chuckled.

"He's actually really good. It was my first time and he was very attentive. He made it good for me…" Sugar blushed.

"How is it that you're still a virgin? I mean have you seen yourself in the mirror? You're hot, Sugar!" Tina said with an amused look.

"I was saving myself for someone I love. Before Finn came along, all the other guys I dated only wanted to use me for my name and money. It's different with Finn, he really loves me. He even pushed away his ex-girlfriend, Rachel, who turned out to be my father's girlfriend when she kiss him." Sugar shuddered when she mentioned Rachel and then she went on to say, "There's something pure about Finn that I love. I know it's crazy but I can't help but fall in love with him…"

"Wait… His ex-girlfriend is dating your dad? How gross is that! It's good that he's over that bitch and is now with you. She ruined his self confidence back in high school, when I met Finn in college, he was insecure about himself but after four years he's finally realized his worth." Mercedes said proud that her best friend found the strength to push his skanky ex-girlfriend away.

"So was his penis huge?" Tina asked being crass again.

Mercedes shook her head and rolled her eyes but didn't say a word. She was surprised however when Sugar answered Tina. "Yes, I was afraid at first but it was so good later that the pain I felt was only fleeting." Sugar giggled.

When Tina and Sugar started talking about sexual positions, Mercedes' mind wondered to what happened the previous night.

After hours of mind blowing sex, she and Sam had both fallen asleep. She was having a wonderful dream about visiting her parents in Lima, when she felt something poking her on her back. At first Mercedes thought that someone was trying to murder her in her dream but she when was fully awake, she realized it was Sam's erected cock moving against her back. She looked back and noticed that Sam was sound asleep. He had the goofiest smile on his face and later, was puckering his lips as if he was getting ready to kiss someone. Mercedes couldn't help but laugh out loud at his expression, she must've laughed a little too loudly because seconds later Sam was awake.

"What are you laughing at?" Sam asked as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes.

Mercedes continued to giggle, unable to control herself. "You were poking me on the back with you dick and then you looked like you were going to kiss someone. What were you dreaming about, Sammy?"

Sam smirked lecherously and said, "Did you want me to tell you or show you?" He moved her so that she was lying on her back and hovered over her.

Although it was dark, she could still see the lust radiating from his now dark green eyes. She licked her lips and bit her bottom one to quell the need of pouncing at her sexy boyfriend. "I don't know Sam, maybe its best if you showed me…" She said when she could form words again.

"Maybe I should…" He said in a seductive voice before lightly kissing her. His kiss was light, his lips barely grazing hers. She could feel his breath on her skin as he teased her with his kisses. She was dying to deepen the kiss but Sam had all the control and she let him have it.

When she couldn't take it any longer she moaned, "Kiss me, Sam…" He obliged by pressing his lips firmer onto hers and intruding her mouth with his tongue. Her body was on fire as Sam rolled his hips, pressing his thick cock onto her slick heat. "Is this what you dreamed of, Sammy?" She asked when he was licking the sensitive skin on her neck.

"It was so much more, Mercy…" Sam said in a muffled tone, his lips never leaving her neck. Mercedes groaned in pleasure, her pussy was drenched, ready for Sam to take her.

"Show me, baby, show me now…" She begged. She was going to die if Sam wasn't inside her soon. She wanted him to fuck her hard and fast, she craved for it, ached for it.

She whimpered when Sam got off her; her body felt empty without his touch. He crawled down her body and separated her legs, when he was in position his buried his head between her thighs and licked her wet pussy. Mercedes gripped the comforter beside her as the sensation travelled through her body. Sam's tongue was going to be the death of her, it was his weapon to her demise. It teased her, first licking her entrance then travelling up to meet with her clit. After minutes of torture, Sam finally gave her the release that she craved. She bucked and screamed, shooting her juices into his opened mouth as wave after wave of pleasure ran through her body and stars blurred her vision.

When she was finally sated, Sam released her and positioned himself between her legs. He kissed her deeply, sharing her essence with her. He didn't wait to ask for permission before he entered her and started pounding into her. There was no loving words shared, only the sounds of their skin slapping together. She was ready to explode when he brought his hand down and began to frig her clit. "Faster, Sam, Harder!" She yelled.

He picked up his tempo, slamming his cock into her eager pussy, his thumb never leaving her clit. "Shit, you're so tight baby… Cum for me Mercy…." He grunted, his actions never wavering. As if his words were what she needed to let go, her body went into overdrive again. Her pussy pulsed around Sam's cock as she climaxed. Her orgasm intensified when he shot his cum deep into her pussy. It felt like forever before she came down from her orgasmic high. Sam was still buried inside her warmth, his head resting on her shoulder as he gasped for air.

"Was that what you dreamed of, Sammy?" Mercedes asked, her hand running through Sam's damp hair.

"No. This was better…" Sam answered before he grazed his lips with hers.

"Cedes, are you listening to me!" Mercedes blinked out of her musing when she heard Tina call out to her.

"Yeah, sorry… I was… Um… Just thinking about Lima. Yeah, Lima." She lied, she was hoping her friend would believe her but her damn eye wouldn't stop twitching.

"Uh-huh, sure you were…" Tina grinned.

She was about to answer when out of the corner of her eye she spotted Candy and Veronica heading towards them, when both girls were seated, Veronica was the first to greet them. "Hey ladies, it's been a while huh! How are you girls doing?"

"We're doing great. How are you, Veronica?" Sugar returned the greeting happily.

"I'm doing good, I met someone a few days ago. He's really cute and is a really nice guy…" Veronica gushed.

"I'm so happy for you, Veronica…" Mercedes beamed at the other girl.

"How are things with Sam going? I've never seen him light up like this before, he must really love you and you him." Mercedes could hear Candy huffing in the background but decided to ignore the bitch.

Mercedes looked at Veronica before saying, "Things are going great! We're moving in together when the cruise ends." She only said those things to annoy Candy and it had worked. She was doing the happy dance inside her mind.

"Wow, you guys are moving in together that's great. So are you moving to New York or is he moving to LA?"

"We haven't decided yet. We're going to visit our families in Lima after this and then we're going to New York together. If I like it there then I'm staying, if not we head back to LA." Mercedes said, smiling at the prospect of spending her life with Sam.

Veronica nodded her agreement but didn't say anything else probably because she wanted to spare Candy's feelings. There was an awkward silence for about twenty minutes after that but Veronica broke it. She held out a flute of Champagne to Mercedes and said, "Here… This is for. I hope you and Sam will live a happy life together…"

Mercedes took the Champagne and when the rest of the girls got theirs, she raised her flute and said, "Thank you, Veronica." She took a sip of the champagne and went back to her treatment. She slowly sipped on the beverage until the glass was empty

They were all done within the hour; before leaving Mercedes told Veronica goodbye at the same time thanking her for the champagne. They were walking back to the Star Bar to meet up with the guys when Mercedes began feeling light headed. She held on to Tina and Sugar's arms for support and said, "Guys, I don't think I feel so good… Can you bring me back to my room and tell Sam."

"Cedes, you're sweating and you look pale." Tina said and then looked at Sugar. "Can you please help me take Mercedes back to her room and then go tell Sam for me?" Sugar looked frightened but she nodded and did as Tina said.

As soon as Mercedes got back to her room, she rushed to the bathroom and threw up all the contents of her stomach. Her head was pounding and her body was weak and achy, she wanted to lay down so Tina helped get her to the bed. Mercedes drifted off not knowing that something was really wrong with her.

The five hours of waiting for Mercedes was not as torturous for Sam as it was before. He actually had a great time with the guys, they drank and talked about their plans for the future; his plans would always include Mercedes in it. He could never see a future without her so he never left her out of it.

Sam was laughing at Finn's stupid joke when he saw Sugar running up to them with a panicked look on her face. "Sam you need to come with me. Mercedes is not feeling so good and she asked for you."

Sam immediately jumped up from his seat when he heard the news. "How the hell did she get sick? She was fine when she left here five hours ago…"

"I don't know… She was fine the whole time then when we left the spa, she said that she was not feeling well. She was sweating and throwing up before I left the room to come get you."

Sam grabbed his wallet and threw out a few hundred dollars onto the table before bolting out of the bar with the rest of his friends. He punched the elevator button and luckily for him the doors opened right away. Sam waited in silence for the elevator to reach the designated floor and once the doors opened he ran to Mercedes' room. He was halfway down the hall when he noticed Tina standing outside the room with a few paramedics. "Where's Mercy?" He asked desperate to see his girlfriend.

"They are taking her to the hospital, Sam… Her mouth started foaming and she was going into a seizure. I had to do something!" Tina wailed burying her face on Mike's shoulder for comfort.

His breath hitched when he saw the love of his life lying on the stretcher, an oxygen mask on her face and her eyes closed. He felt his heart breaking for Mercedes. He didn't know how he got to the hospital but he did. The paramedics wheeled her into the emergency room and told everyone to stay in the waiting room. They also informed him that he couldn't see her for a few hours. They were going to examine her to try to find out what was truly wrong with her. He was worried sick, cradling his head in his hands in the attempt to relief the headache that he was having. The doctor came out a few hours later and said, "I'm looking for relatives of Mercedes Jones…"

Sam approached the doctor and said, "I'm her relative!"

The doctor eyed him suspiciously. "Look sir, if you're not a relative then we're not allowed to divulge any information to you."

Sam had no choice but to lie. "I'm her husband, we just got married and we're on our honeymoon. She went to the spa with a few of our other newlywed friends just now and got sick. Please tell me how my wife is doing… I'm really concerned about her health."

"I'm Dr. Mason. Please come with me." Dr. Mason said.

Sam was relieved to have been able to get away with the lie. He usually hated lying but he was so desperate that lying was the only way he could find out about what was wrong with Mercedes. He followed the doctor down the hallway and into a private room, when he stepped into the room he could see Mercedes lying on the bed peacefully sleeping. Aside from the IV on her arm she looked normal. He wanted so badly to wake her up and hold her in his arms but he knew he couldn't do it.

Sam blinked back the tears that was forming in his eyes and cleared his throat. "What happened to her doctor?"

"We did some blood work and found that she had high concentrations of benzodiazepines in her system." Dr. Mason explained, he was about to continue but Sam stopped him.

"Benzodiazepines? What is that?" Sam asked puzzled. He knew that Mercedes wasn't on any medications so he was confused as to how she got the drug in her body.

"It's a powerful sleeping aid. You wife must've consume it and had an allergic reaction. We've pumped her stomach so she should be fine within a few days. My only question is, if what you said were true that she had gone out with her friends to the spa, then how did she get the drug in her system?"

"I don't know doctor but I'm about to find out…."

Dr. Mason checked on Mercedes after their conversation and left the room. Sam approached his girlfriend and sat on the chair next to her bedside. He lifted her hand and kissed it. "I don't know what happened to you Mercy, but no matter what you have to come back to me… I love you." He stayed with her for half an hour and when he was sure that she was not going to wake up anytime soon, he went out to the waiting room in search of Tina and Sugar.

"How is she?" Both Tina and Sugar asked.

"She's doing fine now but she was drugged. She had an allergic reaction to the drug. What I want to know now is how she got the drug in the first place?"

"I don't know Sam. All we did was went window shopping and then to the spa. It was nothing out of the ordinary." Tina answered.

"Well did you guys eat anything? Maybe buy a drink or something?"

"No-wait a minute, we did have a drink. It was champagne given to us by Veronica, but me and Tina are both fine… Oh my god, Veronica must've drugged it…" Sugar stated covering her mouth with her palm.

"But why would Veronica want to hurt Mercedes?" Finn asked.

"I don't know but I'm about to go talk to her to find out…" Sam stated.

Sam didn't want to believe that Veronica would hurt Mercedes but he had to know if this was just a simple misunderstanding or was it really malicious intent. He walked out of the hospital and headed back to the ship to find out his answer.

So what did you think? Did you love it or hate it? Sorry if this chapter is a little short, I'm trying to pace the story just right. Anyway, what did you think about the shit that hit the fan? We all know that Candy did it but the question is why was Veronica involved?

You will find out the answer on the next chapter.

Well that's all for tonight, the next chapter will be up by Sunday. Thanks for reading….
