Mike and Mercedes
Words: 308
Mike sat behind the register for yet another boring night. He was forced to work here because his parents owned the restaurant, and he hated nearly every second of it. He was careful to always say nearly, because there was a time that he enjoyed coming into work. Mercedes Jones family came in every Thursday night like clockwork. But she didn't care for sitting with her parents, so she would come over and talk to him. His mom didn't mind as long as he still did his work. He never really got to know her in school because she was always around Kurt and it seemed like Tina didn't want to let him out of her site. But she was pretty cool once they got to talking. She talked about how her family life was pretty good, but she just wanted to get away from them once in a while.
Mercedes used to hate going to dinner with her family, since they were always together, but then she realized that Mike was working here. They never really hung out, and it wasn't for lack of trying. Tina kept him like a closely guarded secret. He was rarely out of her sight. But now they had their Thursday nights. And even if her family went somewhere new, they knew that she would be there, whether she ate or not. She and Mike would talk about everything and anything. Whether it be how possessive Tina was, or how shy Sam was being around her now. Mike was the first one to find out about the two, and Sam was surprisingly cool about their relationship. They managed to be best friends for quite some time, with Mercedes being the best woman at his and Tina's wedding. No one saw it coming, but no one could stop it once it had started.
