DISCLAIMER:I DO NOT OWN GLEE.
*WARNING:MILD VIOLENCE.
"Just one more and then you have to go." Mercedes said quietly as Sam kissed her breathless. After they made up, Sam decided to buy them pizza and go back to Mercedes house since no one was there. They vowed to watch a movie but a make out session was long overdue.
Sam had Mercedes pinned down on the couch, pampering kisses over her face, "It has been a long two weeks without my Mercy kisses." He went back to kissing her until he fell off the couch hearing a deep voice.
"It's going to be longer than that if you don't get the hell off of my daughter." Michael said, sitting his briefcase down on the table.
"Dad." Mercedes groaned straightening up her top, he was the last person she wanted to see right now.
"I-I'm sorry Mr. Jones." Sam stuttered out as he stood back up. He looked over at Mercedes, "I should go."
"That's a great idea." Michael said as he sat down in his chair.
Mercedes glared at him, "I'll walk you out." She grabbed Sam's hand leading him to the front door. She turned to him, "Sorry about that."
"No. I'm sorry." He looked at her and smiled, "I'm just glad that we are back together."
"Me too." She leaned up and kissed the corner of his mouth, "I'll see you tomorrow."
"I love you shortie." He wrapped her into a hug before he opened the door.
"Love you too babe, drive safe." She watched as he walked down the steps and hopped into his truck. He blew his horn and waved at her.
Mercedes close the door behind her. Sighing she headed back to the living room to straighten up the mess they made.
"So..you're dating him?" He asked casually.
"Yeah." Mercedes answered annoyed with him at the moment.
"How long?"
"Two months."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
Mercedes stopped and looked at him, "You never asked." She started to leave but turned back around to face him, "Matter of fact you never asked about anything. I don't get a simple how was your day or anything from you Dad. It's just work, work and more damn work."
Michael stood up with a clenched jaw, "Watch you tone with me young lady."
Mercedes jumped from his raised voice. She looked at him with a sullen look, turning around she headed up the stairs and slammed the door when she made it to her room.
Michael rubbed his hands against his temples, "Teenagers." He got up and headed to his office to get started on some paperwork.
Josh was walking out of the locker room shaking his still damp hair. They had an early morning practice and he was exhausted. He had to meet up with Mercedes in the library for his morning tutoring. He was super happy that Sam told him that they had made up yesterday. They were meant to be together. He rounded the corner and stopped short when he saw Santana talking to Heather. He didn't know what made him do it but he slid back around the wall and decided to see what they were talking about.
Santana brushed her hair back, "Thanks again for helping."
"Why didn't you want them together?" Heather asked not knowing the full reason she had to do what she did. But she didn't complain because she liked Sam and she would take every opportunity to get with him.
"Well, I like Mercedes and Sam knew that..what we did was revenge. He took something away from me and with the help of you, I took her away from him."
Heather smirked, "And it was well worth it. That kiss was amazing."
Josh mouth dropped, "It was a set up." He muttered quietly.
"Yeah and now that they're not together, I couldn't be any happier."
Heather smiled playing with the ends of her hair, "Do you think I have a chance with him?"
Santana turned and looked at her, "Of course you do." She closed her locker, "Now come on." She grabbed the girl's hand and they walked down the hall.
Josh came back out looking at their retrieving forms, "Those bitches." He needed to talk to Mercedes. He took off into a sprint towards the library. He finally got there just when she started to sit down. He ran over to her, breath rigid.
Mercedes looked up, "Hey. You alright?" She asked taking in his erratic breathing.
He shook his head, "Mercedes I need to tell you something very important."
"Okay..what's wrong?"
Josh looked at her and told her everything that he just heard. He gulped loudly when he saw her angry features.
Mercedes was walking down the hallway with Josh hot on her heels. She was passed pissed off. She turned the corner and saw Santana talking to some of the girls from cheer. Mercedes pushed her against the wall, "You bitch."
Santana looked at her confused, "What the hell Mercedes?"
Mercedes pushed her again, "Why the fuck would you do that to me?"
Santana pushed her back causing her to bump against Josh, "W-What are you talking about?"
"You know what the hell I'm talking about..You fucking set Sam up with that slut over there." She tried to get to her but Josh had a tight grip on her wrist, "Let me go Josh."
"Heather is not a slut. I was trying to help you out Mercedes by proving to you that you can do way better than him. So yeah, I set him up and I left those notes in your locker too. I'm the fucking villain here." She said sarcastically.
Mercedes let out a low growl finally breaking free from Josh. She took Santana down the ground and repeatedly hit her in her face.
"Shit..Cedes stop." Josh threw his bag down and tried to get her off of Santana.
Santana clawed Mercedes in the face and hit her in her mouth to get her to get off of her.
"CAN I GET SOME FUCKING HELP DOWN HERE?" Josh yelled down the hallway as he saw the crowd edging them on, "Dammit Mercedes, you're strong."
Puck and Mike rounded the corner to see what all the commotion was about.
"Looks like a cat fight." Puck smirked. Peering over the crowd, his smirk instantly started to fade, "Holy shit..is that Mercedes and Santana?"
Mike looked over and saw Josh struggling to get Mercedes off of Santana, "Crap." He ran over and threw Mercedes over his shoulder.
"I FUCKING HATE YOU SANTANA." She spitted out the blood that was coming for her lip, "DON'T EVER TALK TO ME AGAIN. EVER!"
Heather came over and helped Santana up off of the ground. Santana looked at her with tears in her eyes, "FINE. I DON'T NEED YOU ANYWAYS."
Mike carried Mercedes down the hallway until they were away from the crowd. Sitting her down on her feet, "What happened?"
Mercedes sat on the bench in front of the school, "Santana set Sam up with Heather."
"What?"
"She fucking set him up Mike. Everything that happened, Santana did it." She said running her fingers through her hair.
"Wow." Mike was speechless. He instantly started to feel bad for the way he has been treating him, "I..um, damn I'm so sorry M."
She shrugged, wincing when she felt her lip throbbing.
Sam walked as fast as he could once he got a text from Puck letting him know he needed to find Mercedes. Biting his lip he saw her in front of the office talking to Mike. "Baby." He ran to her, squatting down to her level he took in her appearance, "What the hell happen?"
Mercedes was livid. She looked up at him with a frown, "You're 'best friend' set you up. She sent Heather your way and she was the one who leaving notes in my locker."
Sam felt his face heat up in rage. He knew Santana was mad but he didn't think she would go this far. He looked at her and grabbed her chin gently. He winced when she did, "Lets go get you some ice." He grabbed her hand helping her off the bench. He took a glance at Mike, "Thanks for getting her."
"No problem." He said as he started backing up, "I'll talk to you guys later." He turned around and left.
Sam wrapped his arm around her and led her to the nurse. She told Mercedes to sit on the bed, handing Sam an ice bag and told them she'll be right back.
Sam took the ice bag and place it gently on her lip. His eyes traveled down to her bruised knuckles, "I'm dating a smaller female version of Mike Tyson." He smirked.
"Don't make me laugh." She said quietly.
"I'm sorry." He leaned up and gave her a kiss on the corner of her mouth.
Grunting a little she sighed, "I can't believe she would do something like this."
Sam blew out a long breath and sat back in the chair, "I know..I'm just..I don't even know what to say."
Mercedes shook her head. She looked up when she saw the nurse come back in.
"Okay..I'm going to give you some pain relievers and I suggest you go home." She said handing her the medicine.
"Thank you."
"You welcome baby." She walked out.
"Will you take me home?"
"Of course." He help her up from the bed and walked out the building towards the parking lot.
Karen got out of her car and headed up the steps. She was confused as to why there was a truck in the driveway. Opening the door, she sat her purse and keys down on the counter and headed to the living room. She saw Sam holding an ice pack to her hands, "Ay dios mío!" She walked over and took notice she the claw mark on her face and her cut lip, "What the hell happen?"
"I got into a minor altercation."
"That doesn't look minor to me Mercedes Jones." Karen huffed, she swatted Sam out the way. Taking ahold of her face, "I'll get you some cream, wouldn't want anything to scar your pretty face." Karen let out a small smile.
"I think the scars will make me look kind of bad ass." Mercedes smirked.
Sam laughed at her, "I can't with you."
Karen shook her head at her. She went to the bathroom and grabbed the cream from the medicine cabinet. Walking back out, she sat on the coffee table in front of Mercedes and applied some on her, "So Sam..how would you like to come over for dinner tomorrow?"
Sam looked at Mercedes then to Karen, "I would love to."
"Great. I think it's time for me to see what are your intentions with my step-daughter."
Sam gulped loudly, "I-I u-understand."
"Don't be nervous." She looked over at him, "Along as you have good ones, then everything should be fine."
"Yes ma'am." He looked at his watch, "I should get back to school."
Mercedes nodded, "Thank you for bringing me home."
"You're welcome." He gave her a kiss on the cheek, "I'll call you later."
"I love you." She smiled.
"Love you too." He stood up from the couch, "See you later Ms. Karen."
"Bye now." She waited until the door closed to look at Mercedes, "Love?"
Mercedes shook her head.
Karen sighed standing up, "As long as you are happy."
"Very." She smiled as she got up and headed to her room.
