Sam and Mercedes honeymoon was cut short due to the fact that Sam had to get back for the start of the season. Why they planned their wedding so close to the season was beyond them, but it was fine, they were married and that's all that mattered. Walking into their home as husband and wife for the first time was a special moment for the both them.
Sam stopped Mercedes before she walked through the door, "Mercedes Evans! Don't you dare cross that threshold!"
Mercedes rolled her eyes and laughed, "Sam Evans, I know you are not going to stick to that silly tradition of carrying the bride over the threshold?"
"Yes I am, it's a tradition for a reason, and it works." He put the bags down, "My grandparents did it, and they were married for 65 years. My parents did it, and you see how sickeningly happy they are. So we are going to do it as well."
She shook her head, "Look, you got a game coming up, and I don't want your teammates mad at me, because you threw your back out trying to fulfill a tradition."
Sam pursed his lips, "You were not concerned about my back when I was lifting you up against the wall on our honeymoon." He wiggled his eyebrow.
She wanted to make a snappy comeback, but she had nothing to say, because he was handling his business during their honeymoon. She bit her lip at the thought, and sighed, "Fine Sam, proceed with the tradition."
He smiled, because he knew there probably wouldn't be too many arguments he was going to win, so he figured he'd relish in it. "Thank you my beautiful wife, now grab onto my neck please." He scooped her up with ease, and carried her inside their new home.
Mercedes was very happy with the way the house came out, it was everything they both wanted. "Baby, this is beautiful, just like we asked. That interior designer sure knew her stuff."
Sam sat her down, and looked around the room, "She sure did, as annoying as she was, she is definitely worth all the money we spent on her." He grabbed the bags and headed to their bedroom. "We should order some food, get unpacked, and settled in for a movie and cuddling tonight."
"That sounds good to me babe, and at some point we should shower and change." She giggled at the side eye he was giving her. "So what do you want to eat, pizza or Chinese?"
"Pizza! Meat lovers!" Sam yelled from the top of the stairs.
"Got it, I'll call now." Mercedes grabbed her phone and made the order, then joined Sam upstairs to unpack.
"So babe, did you hear anything back from Sean about your tour and when that's supposed to happen?" Sam asked throwing clothes into the dirty clothes hamper.
"Not yet, he said he wanted to wait until I got home from my honeymoon to bother me with work stuff." Mercedes hung up the new dresses she bought on her shopping trip. "I'm glad he did that because I didn't need that type of distraction this weekend.
Sam smiled thinking back on their wonderful honeymoon, it may have been short, but they crammed in a lot of loving in those days. "Baby, I have to say, you were a little minx this weekend, and insatiaible...sheesh." He wiped his forehead, "You wore me out, but I enjoyed every second of it too."
Mercedes blushed as she threw her dirty clothes into the hamper, "I don't know what it is, but married sex, is so much better than non-married sex. It brought out the wild side in me, and then you kept saying that sexy phrase you always say."
Sam was confused, "What sexy phrase?"
"You know..." Mercedes said sensually, "When you call me Mrs. Evans." She smirked and bit her lip.
Sam was now the one blushing, "That's all it takes to bring out the sexy beast in you?" He started stalking in her direction, "Well Mrs. Evans..." His voice was a low growl, "I say we unpack later, and test out this expensive bed you wanted so badly." With that being said, he scooped Mercedes up again, and carried her to the bed.
"SAM! You have got to stop doing that." She giggled as he threw her down on the bed. "How is that going to look if you do hurt yourself? Then you have to tell your teammates that you got hurt..."
Sam cut her off, "Sexing up my wife, and it was totally worth it!" He climbed on top of her and started kissing her neck. "And I think they will completely understand."
Mercedes moaned at the feeling of Sam's lips touching her neck, his lips always did something to her, and drove her insane. "Oh Sam, you are so silly, but don't stop doing that..." She moved her head so he could have better access. She could feel his hands moving up her shirt to try to take it off, she arched her back to give him some assistance.
Sam smiled as Mercedes was getting into the spirit, he was going to give her the best night in this bed of theirs. Just when he unhooked her bra, her phone rang, "Don't you dare answer it Mrs. Evans!"
Mercedes sighed when she heard her phone, and by the ringtone, she knew it was Sean, "Baby it's Sean, I have to answer it."
Sam groaned and rolled off of her, "This better be important!" He fell back on the bed, completely frustrated.
"I promise I will make it up to you baby, the night is still young." She smirked and answered the phone, "Hey Sean, what's up?"
"Mercedes, how are you? How was the honeymoon?" Sean was excited to hear his friend's voice, and even more excited to tell her the news about her tour.
"I'm great Sean, couldn't be better, and the honeymoon was great..." She smiled and looked at Sam.
"And still going on!" Sam yelled out.
Mercedes laughed, "Excuse my husband, he is a little cranky right now."
"I interrupted didn't I?" Sean asked, "Well tell your man I promise to keep it short."
Mercedes looked over at a pouting Sam, "Sean says hello, and he promises to keep it short." She giggled and turned her attentions back to Sean, "So any news about the tour?"
"Yup, great news! The label is super excited about the album, and they are ready to get you out there, and they have also made sure that your schedule is not keeping you away from Sam for too long, per your request. The Monday Night game where he plays the New York Jets, you will have a show at Radio City that weekend, so you can go to that game that Monday. And we have scheduled a few dates like that. I will send you your itinerary in your email." Sean was beaming, because not only did he produce this album, but he was just happy to see his girl get what she deserved. "So how does that sound Cedes?"
Mercedes was thrilled beyond belief at what was going on right now. Not only did the label do as she wanted, but she was going on this major tour, "I'm ecstatic right now, this is so amazing. Thank you Sean so much for everything, you have been such a great friend."
"I only saw true talent and used it for my advantage, you did the rest." He smiled, "Now I am going to let you get back to honeymooning before your husband throws a hissy fit." He laughed, "I'll check in with you later Cedes."
"Thanks Sean, you're awesome. I will do just that, because Mr. Evans is definitely pouting over here." She smirked, "Talk to you later Sean." She hung up the phone and straddled Sam's lap, "Are you happy now?"
Sam let a smile creep on his face, "I am very happy now Mrs. Evans." He kissed her neck, and looked at her, "And you know you are so wrong for not covering back up once you were on the phone with Sean. I had to do everything in my power to keep my hands off you."
She moaned feeling his lips back on her skin, she then giggled, "Now why would I put clothes back on when I knew you were going to take them right back off?" She started grinding her core against his erection. "So do you want to keep talking, or do you want to have some amazing sex with your wife?"
He flipped her over on her back, "I think you already know the answer to that question." He quickly removed her shorts and underwear, "I need a taste first." He kissed her down her chest, only stopping to give her breast some special attention with his tongue. Her moans and mews just turned him on even more. "Do you like it baby?"
Mercedes could never resist Sam's magical tongue, he knew exactly how to make her crazy, and he did it every time. "Yes baby...I love it...please don't stop Sam." She arched her back to allow him more access. "Baby I need your lips on my lips...now!" She pushed his head down in between her thighs. She screamed out the second his tongue made contact with her lower lips. "Oh fuck baby!"
Sam loved it when Mercedes would take control and tell him what she wanted. He happily obliged with her request, and began to eat her out just the way she liked it. He swiped his tongue up and down her slit, and then began to dart it inside her pussy. He latched onto her clit, and started sucking it harder. She tasted so good, it was his most favorite treat ever, and he was addicted to her. How in the world did she always taste so damn good? He always wondered that, but he didn't question it, he just enjoyed knowing that it was all his forever. He was giving her the pleasure she deserved, and he loved giving it to her. He was thrusting his fingers in and out of her pussy, and sucking on her clit, and her moans was turning him on so much. He needed her to cum so bad.
The feeling Mercedes had going through her body could only be described as electric. Sam knew how to drive her completely insane, and he was doing it. His mouth and fingers were magical, and her body craved his touch. She was bucking her hips, and moaning loudly. "Sam….I'm going to cum…"
"Cum baby, I want to taste you." Sam loved her taste, he craved it, hearing she was going to cum only made him suck her clit harder. Soon he was rewarded with her sweet essence shooting into his mouth. He made sure to lap up every single drop of her sweet, sweet cream. "I love the way you taste baby, I can't get enough."
Mercedes couldn't hear anything Sam said to her, all she could hear was the sounds of her screams as she came. Her body was so sensitive to Sam's touch, and she was shaking uncontrollably, and the screams that were coming from her mouth was unrecognizable. She couldn't even catch her breath, "Sam….holy hell!" She sat up and looked at the smirk he had on his face, "You know you put it down don't you?"
Sam shrugged his shoulders, and licked his lips, "I just know what my wife likes, and I plan to give it to her every time." He wanted to be a bit braggadocious, but he figured he better not.
She could see the smugness building behind his sexy green eyes, so she decided to make him feel her skills at work. She pushed him down on the bed, and straddled his lap. She started kissing him down his chest, taking her time to kiss every inch of his skin. She traced her fingers down his body, until she got down to his dick, and began stroking it. She looked up in his eyes, and smirked, knowing that she was driving him crazy with how slow she was going, but she wasn't going to keep him in his misery for too long. She licked her lips and slipped his dick inside her mouth, and began sucking the head first, and then licked up and down his sensitive vein. She massaged his balls, then slipped them into her mouth. Sam loved when she sucked his balls, and she wanted to pleasure him in every way possible. She slid his shaft back in her mouth and began sucking his dick like a Hoover vacuum. She knew how Sam loved when she gave him a blowjob, and his faces that he made was so sexy to her.
Sam had his hand on the back of Mercedes head, and was thrusting his hips, feeding her more of his dick, and she took all of him like a pro. He was grunting, and moaning, feeling his balls tighten and knowing that he was not going to last too much longer. "Mercy….." He wanted her to stop, but he knew she wasn't going to do that, no matter how much he pleaded, she never stopped until she drained him of all of his juices. "Baby...I'm…." He was shooting his seed in her mouth before he finished his sentence. His body went numb, and he looked down to see Mercedes licking her lips, and smiling up at him. That sight alone got him excited, "Why do you have to be so fucking sexy?" He chuckled, still trying to catch his breath.
Mercedes felt very accomplished seeing how satisfied Sam was, and his comment made her giggle, "Because I have a sexy husband that deserves to get the most amount of pleasure every day, and me being a good wife, I want to give it to him."
Sam smiled a wide toothy smile, "That's sounds great, but one thing you need to change, you are the perfect wife, and I am the luckiest guy in the world." He pulled her up and kissed her deeply, and he could feel himself becoming aroused again. He sat her on his lap, "Come on baby, I want you to ride me."
Mercedes licked her lips, she loved riding him. Straddling Sam's lap she lowered herself on him. Hot damn he was so big and filled her so damn good! When she was fully seated on his lap they both groaned at the sensation.
Fuck how can she be so damn tight! Sam held Mercedes hips, "This is on you baby, make us both cum, show me what you can do with that tight pussy."
Mercedes began to move slowly at first, loving the feel of him filling her over and over. Holding her by the hips Sam met her with a thrust each time she dropped back onto his dick. Leaning forward he licked and sucked her nipples; flicking them with his tongue he could feel her getting wetter. Biting down he pulled her closer so with each thrust her clit would rub against him making her clench and flutter around him.
"Faster baby, cum for me, take this dick, it's yours."
Mercedes was already close, but hearing Sam's words and with the pressure on her clit, she came undone. Screaming out his name as her orgasm rushed over her, she saw fireworks. Pulling her to him he kissed her as she rode out the last of her orgasm. Lifting her off of him he smiled at the glazed look in her eyes.
"On your knees baby." Mercedes quickly moved into position. Sam leaned over and kissed her back. Lining up at her entrance he filled her with one thrust. Sinking all the way till he was balls deep Sam let out a sound somewhere between a growl and a moan. Grabbing her hips Sam began with deep slow strokes, pulling out until only the head was in then thrusting back in harder. With each stroke he could feel her walls sucking him back in holding him tight, stroking and caressing his dick. Fuck she was so wet and hot!
Mercedes was going crazy; Sam was hitting her spot every time. Fuck if it didn't feel so damn good! When she started playing with his balls Sam lost it, fucking her harder, going deeper and faster he knew he was going to cum. Taking her clit between his fingers he strummed it, adding pressure until she clamped down tight on his dick. Feeling her clenching and fluttering so tightly on his dick sent him over the edge. He shot streams of cum filling her up; she was so tight milking him until he was empty.
Kissing her neck and shoulders they both came slowly down from their sexual high. Sliding out of her, they both moaned still sensitive. Pulling her onto him he looked into her eyes before kissing her.
They laid there both trying to catch their breath. Mercedes spoke first, "Oh my God Sam!" She blew out a deep breath, "What was that?" She giggled, "I mean why was that so freaking amazing?" Catching her breath was becoming a little easier, but it was still labored.
Sam continued to pepper kisses over her shoulders, and had a smile on his face a mile long, "It was amazing sex baby, just like we always have." He chuckled, "We just have to face facts baby, our sex life is never going to be an issue, we are made for each other." He pulled her in for another deep kiss, and then they heard the doorbell. "Shit, I forgot we ordered food...you get dressed, and I'll go get it." With one last kiss, he jumped up and grabbed his shorts and a t-shirt and ran downstairs to get the food.

Sam got up that morning super excited about his first game as a starting quarterback for the Chicago Bears. It had been a hard-fought battle for him to get this position, but once the coaches, and his teammates knew he could handle it, they put all their faith behind him. After his pre-game with Mercedes, he was in the shower reflecting on his journey to this point. Mercedes was his driving force in everything he did to get to this point, and as much as he knew she was proud of him, he made it his mission to keep her proud of him. As the water cascaded off of his body, he missed Mercedes opening the door, and slipping in behind him. He jumped a little when he felt her hands wrap around his chest, "Mercy! I didn't even hear you come in, you were in stealth mode." He chuckled and put his hands over hers, "Not that I'm complaining or anything."
Mercedes loved sneaking in on Sam when he was in the shower, and not only because she could see his sexy, taut, hard body all wet, and glistening, but because he was always so deep in thought when he was in there. She sometimes wondered what he thought about when he was in there, but she figured that when he was ready, he would tell her. She smiled feeling him jump to her touch, "I wasn't trying to scare you, but it's so easy to do sometimes." She kissed his shoulder, grabbed the bath sponge, and started washing his back. "So are you excited about the game today Mister Starting Quarterback?"
He smiled and closed his eyes, letting Mercy bathe him, "I am excited, but nervous as well. I mean we have been practicing all this time, and I know the plays, but I really want to do good, and let the coaches and my teammates know that they made the right choice."
"They know they did, that's why they chose you baby." She was never going to let Sam think he wasn't good enough for this, because she knew better. "This is what you were born to do baby, and no matter what, you are going to be an amazing quarterback, if not for this team, for the next team. I believe in you Sam Evans."
Those words always did something to Sam, and he turned around, pulled Mercedes into the biggest kiss ever. Once they were forced by their lungs to pull apart, he rested his forehead against hers, "Mercy, you know how you saying that gets me….I love you so much."
"I know, and I mean it every time I say it." She caressed his cheek with her thumb, "I love you too Sam…..forever!"
"And Always…" Sam interrupted. "So speaking of new starts, are you ready for the ladies?" He smirked knowing that she was not happy about dealing with the players' wives at all.
Mercedes rolled her eyes and handed her bath sponge to Sam, it was his turn to wash her back, "I wish I didn't even have to sit with those heffas. I have too much to worry about today, with our parents coming in, I really don't want to have to deal with those women."
Sam washed her back, "It's okay baby, I know you'll be able to handle things, you are a strong women, and this is going to be a breeze for you. I know that last season was tough, but now you are the head Bear Cub."
That made her roll her eyes even harder, "That's the last thing I wanted to be Sam, and you know that. I mean the only person I like talking to is Shelly, those other women are all up under Allison's ass, and I don't want to have to deal with that." Mercedes could feel her anger building up inside her.
Sam could feel the same thing, and rubbed her shoulders, "Babe calm down, it's going to be alright. Maybe things will be different now, and you should start hosting the Bearcat meetings here." He turned her around and kissed her sweetly, "Come on Mercy, I need you to do this for me. If you are good to the wives, the players may be good to me. Remember, it's me and you against the world."
She sighed, because she knew he was right, "Alright Sam, I will be nice to those….women, but only for you okay." She turned off the water and grabbed two towels. Wrapping one around Sam's waist, and as she was about to wrap the other one around her, Sam took it from her.
He wrapped it around her, "Thank you baby, I really appreciate it. Now let's get dressed, we have a game to get too." He took her hand and led her out of the bathroom.
Mercedes followed Sam out of the bathroom, and grabbed her robe, "You go get dressed, and I will go make your breakfast, and get your bag ready." She kissed him on the cheek.
Before she could walk away, Sam grabbed her wrist, pulling her back to him, "Mercy, you know you don't have to do that. I can pack my own bag, and eat a bowl of cereal."
Mercedes shook her head, "Sam Evans, I have been making your breakfast and fixing your bag since college. I missed your first year in the pros due to being at school, and but now that we're together again, I am going to continue making sure my man is all ready for his game. Now get dress, and I am going to make your breakfast." She smirked and started to walk away.
Sam knew there was no stopping her when she was determined to do something. He smiled and gave her a swat to her ass, "Thank you Mrs. Evans, I love you."
Mercedes giggled and blew him a kiss on her way out, "I love you too Mr. Evans." She yelled back at him.

Mercedes was in the bedroom getting ready, she sent Sam on his way to the game a few hours ago, and now she was taking this time to make sure she looked perfect. She heard her doorbell ring, and she smiled bright, and ran down the stairs, "They're here….." She got to the door and swung it open to see her mom and dad standing there, and she practically jumped in her dad's arms. "Daddy…." She hugged him so tight.
Marvin Jones grabbed her and spun her around, "Baby girl! Look at you….you look amazing! Married life certainly agrees with you."
Maxine stood by patiently and watched Mercedes and Marvin had their moment, but quickly grew impatient and pushed Marvin out of the way, "Hey, stop hogging my daughter."
"Mommy!" Mercedes laughed when her mother pulled her and her father apart, but quickly jumped into her mother's arms. "I missed you so much!"
They hugged for a few more minutes until Mercedes heard another familiar voice from behind her, and she looked up to see Mary and Dwight standing there, with Stevie and Stacy right behind them, "So are we going to get a hug?" Dwight asked with a smile on his face.
"Mama and Papa Evans!" Mercedes went over and hugged them both, "It's so good to see you guys." She looked over at the twins and smiled, "Look at you two teenagers….you have both shot up like weeds." She hugged them both, "Come on inside, I am sure the neighbors think I'm crazy now." She laughed and led them inside. "I would say have a seat, but we don't have time. If we don't leave now, we are going to be late. Game day traffic is a mess around here, and we have a bit of a walk to our seats." She grabbed her keys off the table and shuffled everyone outside. After she locked up, she got in the car, and led the caravan to Soldier Field. After smugly flashing her pass to the guard, whom she still couldn't stand, she parked the car on the player's deck, and waited for everyone to unload. "This way guys!" She waved them over.
Stacy was the first to get to Mercedes, "I am so excited to see Sammy start in his first NFL game. I am the envy of all the girls at my school, and the guys." She laughed, "It is annoying to hear them talk about how hot my brother is, but I just tell them that he is taken by the beautiful Mercedes Jones-Evans."
Mercedes wrapped her arm around Stacy's shoulder and hugged her, "Well thank you for letting them know that your hot brother belongs to me, but it's just Mercedes Evans, I believe in taking my husband's last name." She looked over at Stevie who was rather quiet, "Why so quiet little brother?"
Stacy jumped in, "He's sad because he misses his girlfriend Taylor." She teased.
"Shut up Stacy!" Stevie lashed out, "I am not sad because of that. I just wished that she could come that's all. Her stupid parents changed their minds at the last minute."
"Watch your mouth young man!" Mary chided, "You don't speak about adults like that." She sighed, "Now Taylor's grandmother got sick, and they went to Texas to see her, so she couldn't come, but she will be able to come to another game."
Dwight patted Stevie on the shoulder, "I know you wanted to impress her, by bringing her here, but family comes first. Now stop pouting, we're here to cheer on your brother, you got it?"
"Yes sir." He said, still pouting.
Mercedes laughed, she could not believe that he was so upset about that. "Wow…" Was all she could say.
Mary shook her head and patted Mercedes on the shoulder, "Wait till you and Sam have kids, that," she pointed at Stevie, "is what you have to look forward too."
Maxine chimed in, "Oh and don't have a girl, because you are going to ruin her life at every turn."
Mercedes looked at the two women in shock and disbelief, "Are you two trying to stop me from having kids? Because that is what you're doing."
"No honey." Maxine said, "There is a bright side to all of this, then they grow up and make you so proud to be their parents like you and Sam did, and all the difficult times was well worth it."
Mary agreed, "I would not trade motherhood for anything, and I'm sure when you do have children, you will feel the same way."
Mercedes was feeling a little better, but she really didn't want to talk about that anymore, it was going to be a minute before her and Sam was going to have children, so she would rather not talk about it. "Well let's get inside, Papa Evans and daddy are getting a bit antsy." She laughed looking over where both men were standing with their arms folded, and sour looks on their faces. "Lets go...we're done talking now."
"It's about time!" Marvin said and headed to the entrance.
"We only came here for a football game!" Dwight chimed in, and followed behind him.
The ladies rolled their eyes and walked inside the stadium. Mercedes guided them to the players' box, where all the wives and families would gather and watch the game. They got to the box, and Mercedes dropped her head, and took a deep breath. Her mother noticed it, and went to her side, "Baby, is something wrong?"
She shrugged her shoulders, "It's this whole Bear Cub thing...I mean you would think this year would be easier for me, because I'm a wife, and my husband is the starting quarterback, but it seems to be harder to deal with these women this year." Mercedes dropped her head and tried not to cry.
Maxine did not like to see Mercedes upset, and especially because of these women, and she was going into protective mother mode. "Well I dare one of them to say…."
"Max!" Marvin stepped in, "Calm down, we haven't even made it in there yet. Retract your claws okay. This is something Mercedes is going to have to deal with, not us. She is a grown woman, and she has to deal with things on her own."
Maxine folded her arms, she knew he was right, but she didn't like it. "I'm her mother Marvin."
Mercedes didn't want to have her mother worrying about her, so she stepped in, "Mom, it's okay...I'm okay. Dad is right, I am a grown woman, and I have to deal with my issues myself." She hugged her mother, "I appreciate your concern mommy, but I got this." She went and opened the door, and walked in, with her family right behind her. She instantly saw the side eyes, and rolling of the eyes she was getting, but all that was gone the minute she saw Shelly.
"Mercedes Benz is in the building!" Shelly came walking up to her and hugged her, "Look at you, still in your man's jersey, never gonna come over to the designer clothes section huh?"
Mercedes laughed "Shelly Shell, my Diva! You know I will rep Sam Evans till the day I die." She hugged her, "My jeans are designer, does that count?" She said with all her sass, and put her hands on her hips. "I want you to meet my family." She pointed to everyone, "This is my dad Marvin, and my mom Maxine."
Shelly went and hugged them both, "I had to hug the parents of this Diva! I love this girl, and I have to say you raised her right."
Maxine was surprised to see such a pleasant woman in here. She figured all the women were going to be heffas, and she was ready to hate them all, but Shelly was not a heffa at all. "Well it is nice to meet you too Shelly, it's so good to see that Cedes has such a good friend here."
"Yeah, I fell in love with pint sized diva when she walked in here the first time, and sat in the wives section, and refused to move because she said, that she and Sam were bound to get married, so she was already a wife." Shelly laughed again, "I knew then that this one was a firecracker, and I was going to have to get to know her."
Mercedes shook her head, "You love telling that story. Anyway, let me introduce you to Sam's family, this is Mary and Dwight Evans, and his brother and sister, Stevie and Stacy Evans."
Shelly hugged them as well, "Well of course I am going to hug the family of the Golden Boy!"
"Golden Man!" Mercedes corrected, "He is all man now...okay."
Everyone laughed and Mary and Dwight turned back to Shelly, "It's nice to meet you Shelly." Dwight said.
"Aren't you a ray of sunshine!" Mary stated and looked to Maxine in shock.
"Well come on guys, we sit over here, the bar is over there, and the food is over on that side." Mercedes interrupted and led everyone to their seats.
They all took their seats, and before Mercedes could get situated well, she heard the peanut gallery behind her already making their comments.
"She brought her whole entire family, that's why everyone else had limited seats this game." Allison remarked in her bitch tone.
"Well she's the queen bee right?" Yasmine scoffed, "She has no idea what she's doing, or getting herself into, but she will find out real soon."
Mercedes was gripping the side of her chair, trying not to lose it, but it was getting harder and harder. She was going to say something, but Shelley jumped in before she could speak.
"Are you two birds still cackling? Seriously, I thought you would be over the jealousy by now." She shook her head, "Now I recall last season Allison when we weren't allowed to bring a plus one for the second game of the season, because you brought everyone Tanner had ever met in his life to the game. So at least you could still bring people this time." She rolled her eyes, and turned her attentions to Yasmine, "So what are you going to show her Yas? Because the last time I checked, your man hadn't played in a game in two seasons. Weren't they talking about trading him?" She pursed her lips and rolled her eyes at her.
Mercedes was about to burst from trying to hold in her laughter. That was why she loved Shelley, she had her back no matter what, ever since the beginning. "Shelley calm down, they're not worth getting upset about. I like to say my actions speak so much louder than my words." She stood up, "Oh yeah ladies, before I forget, our first Bear Cub meeting will be held on next Saturday, at my place, at noon. So please be on time." She took her seat, and waited on the game to start.
"You know they hated that shit." Shelley whispered to Mercedes. She glanced back and looked at the two girls, and smirked, "Oh yeah, their faces looks like they sucked on a dozen lemons." She started laughing out loud, not even caring that they heard her.
"Oh well… They'll get over it...or not!" Mercedes said, shrugging her shoulders, "I promised Sam that I was going to make this work, and I never break my promises to him, even if I hate everything about it. This is important for him, and I am going to do everything I have to do to make things easier for him."
Shelley took her hand, and patted it, "You are a good wife Cedes, and Sam is a lucky man."
Mercedes smiled, "Thank you Shelley, but I believe that I am the lucky one. Sam is such an amazing husband, and he loves me unconditionally. That means everything to me, and trust me when I say, the feelings he has for me, I have for him double time." She felt a wave of emotions wash over her entire body just thinking about the love she has for Sam, he was her entire world, and she felt so much love for him in that moment.
Shelley saw the dreamy look come across Mercedes face, and that made her smile. She could see the love that she had for Sam, and it made her remember when she was a newlywed, and those feelings of love her and her husband shared. "I know that look, it is the same look I gave my husband when we first got married. And we are still looking at each other that way 8 years later." She couldn't wipe the smile off her face thinking about Quincy, "You guys are going to be just fine, just make sure you remember these happy moments, because when things get tough, these are the times you are going to have to come back to, just to get through."
"I heard that advice before." Mercedes smiled and looked over at her mother, who was wiping lipstick off her father's lips, "I will definitely take it too." Just then the crowd erupted as the Bears stormed the field, and Mercedes spotted Sam right away, leading the team out of the tunnel. She smiled so bright, as the game got underway. On the first play, Sam threw the ball and his receiver ran 20 yards, and on the second play he was sacked with a loss of 10 yards. Mercedes gasped when she saw how hard he was hit, but was so relieved when he popped back up. They were 3rd and long, and the defense was closing in on them hard, but Sam was able to scramble out of the pocket, and saw Quincy wide open, and threw it right to him, watching him sail right into the end zone. The crowd went nuts, and Sam pumped his fist in the air, and looked right into the sky box area, where he knew Mercedes was sitting, and patted his chest twice. Mercedes smiled so bright, and screamed out, "GO BABY! I LOVE YOU TOO BOO! That's my man out there!" She patted her chest twice back at him. She turned and hugged Shelly, "Your man is amazing!"
Shelley was cheering as well, "GO Q!" She hugged Mercedes back, "He finally has a quarterback that can actually throw the ball to him." She made sure to look at Allison.
Mercedes covered her mouth and laughed, "You are so bad, but that was funny." She looked up at the jumbo-tron and watched the replay, and clapped again, "Look at how sexy my man is, GO SAM!" She giggled, and that caused her to get some nasty looks from some of the other women in the sky box, but she didn't care, because her family had her back.
"GO SAMMY!" Stacy screamed out.
"THAT'S MY BIG BROTHER!" Stevie was right behind her.
"THAT'S MY SON!" Mary screamed and shook her pom poms in the air.
"THAT'S MY BOY! I TAUGHT HIM EVERYTHING HE KNOWS! Dwight said holding up his sign he made.
"LOOK AT MY SON IN LAW! YOU GO SAM!" Maxine screamed out, jumping up and down with Stacy.
"I KNEW I ALWAYS LIKED HIM! GET US TO THE SUPERBOWL SON!" Marvin said as he did his little happy dance.
Mercedes couldn't help but laugh at how everyone was acted, but she loved it. Seeing her family this happy made her happy, and not to mention that they were all bonding over the success of Sam, that made her downright giddy. The rest of the game was full of up and downs, the Bears were up at halftime 14-7, but the second half, the Panthers made a comeback, and tied the game. It came down to one final play, and the Bears defense pulled through, and forced a fumble with two minutes on the clock. Sam rallied his team, and moved them down the field, and on their final play, he passed the ball to Quincy once again, and he ran it into the end zone. They won the game 21-14! Mercedes smiled, because she knew tonight, she was going to be celebrating with Sam, and she was going to score a touchdown of her own.
