Here is another one, I am on fire. I am housesitting for a week so be prepared for more! I hope you guys enjoy it. It is based on a true story, although now it is more Samcedes world than anything else.

I do not own Glee, just the storyline.

Sorry for any mistakes, perfection is overrated.

Enjoy my loves and please review.

Quinn and Mercedes are back in the pool to chill at Quinn's house. Mercedes hasn't talked to Sam for two weeks already, since that dreadful night. Quinn is telling an insignificant story about her work. All Mercedes can think about is if Sam will come home today.

He has been moving towards another city and Quinn can't stop bitching about it. "Mercy?" Mercedes looks up at Quinn who is looking irritated at her. She rolls her eyes at the sight of her best friend. "Okay spit it out!"

Mercedes shrugs her shoulders and gets out of the pool. She still needs to get used to her slimmer and fitter body. Her red bikini making her curves rounder as she climbs out of the pool. She turns around to look at Quinn who is still in the pool.

"I don't want to talk about it okay? I think I need to go." She gets to her towel and dries herself off as Quinn swims to the edge of the pool.

"Is this because of Sam?" Mercedes turns around so fast that she instantly feels dizzy. Her brow furrowed and her arms across her chest. Quinn smirks at the defensive stands her friend is taking.

"Why would you think that?" Mercedes almost shouts as she tries to find her shorts. She is not in the mood to talk about it with the one person who doesn't understand anything she is saying lately. Well, maybe not the only one. She thinks to herself while wiggling into her tight shorts.

When she looks back at the pool she doesn't see Quinn inside it anymore. Frantically she looks around the backyard, but she is nowhere to be found. Mercedes shrugs her shoulders again. It's better this way than to explain her behavior.

"You are going to talk to her now!" Quinn yells at Sam as he walks through the front door. He looks at her with raised eyebrows and huffs at her. After the day he had, he just wants to eat something and go to bed.

"Hello to you too sis." He puts his bag down and walks towards the kitchen. When he walks past the balcony he can see Mercedes, still in her bikini top and shorts. Without her knowing he watches her from afar. She turns around and his mouth feels dry.

Ever since that night, she has been haunting him. When he is awake he thinks about her and when he is asleep he dreams about her. She refuses to speak to him in anyway shape or form. His body reacts immediately to the way her beautiful body is shaped in that bikini and shorts.

"Earth to Sam. Stop staring at my best friend and just go talk to her. Please, she gets anxious every time she is here. Afraid you will come home and she doesn't really want to talk to you… or see you. But you have to say something. She doesn't speak to me about anything anymore, we just chill and that's it." Quinn looks at her big brother with her big blue eyes.

He sighs and closes his eyes, trying to think of anything but her voluptuous ass against his hard-on. "That is your problem Quinnie. You wanted to win the bet so badly that you sacrificed something that can't be fixed anymore. Are we done talking?"

The relationship between Quinn and Sam hasn't been the same ever since the club. She betrayed him and usually that is aloud when it comes to bets, but not the way she did it now. She used Mercedes to get to him and that is just wrong.

He makes himself some food while Quinn keeps pleading. "I know and I shouldn't have done that, but dude that was two weeks ago. Get over it already and just talk to her." At that Mercedes walks into the kitchen and both Evans members look at her.

"I am leaving. See you around Quinn." Mercedes walks away and Quinn looks at her big brother who rolls his eyes. Well, fuck! He kisses Quinn on the cheek before taking a sprint to catch up with Mercedes.

"Mercedes please wait." He says as he finally reaches her. She turns around and his heart breaks. Her face is full of hate where he saw sadness just minutes ago. Her arms are across her chest and her foot is tapping, a sign she doesn't have a lot of patience left in her.

"What?" The bitterness in her voice makes Sam wince and he can see she reacts to it with a twitch of her mouth, but she is fighting the urge to smile. One brow rises in expectation for him to speak.

He clears his throat and tries to get his thoughts together. "Uhm… I heard from Quinn that you don't want to be around when I am here." He shifts from one foot to the other, feeling more than uncomfortable.

She sighs audibly and looks him dead in the eyes. "You heard right." With that, she turns around and walks to her car. Sam is baffled and acts on impulse. He grabs her arm and as he does that, she turns back and he lets go immediately at her expression.

Her anger now boiling over there is no stopping it. "How dare you talk to me let alone touch me? On my side, there is nothing left to say. You have been clear the first time you told me we aren't friends and you're right we aren't. Because I know a friend wouldn't treat me the way you have treated me. You are a disgusted person and I don't want anything to do with you." She steps closer into his personal space just like he did that night. "Leave me alone Sam, I mean it."

With those words, she gets into her car and drives off. Sam is still standing there when Quinn comes outside as well. "And?" She says expectingly. He turns towards his little sister and shakes his head, his tears on the verge of falling.

Quinn's face turns sad as she looks at her brother. "She hates me Quinnie and you know what… she has every right to." He walks past Quinn as he walks into the house. Quinn closes her eyes at the statement of Sam and follows him a minute after.

Mercedes hasn't been to Quinn's house in a while and she hasn't seen either one of them. Quinn called her a few times, but she didn't pick up. What is there to say? Blood over friends right? She knows she will lose it from Sam, so why even bother?

She is walking through the city when she bumps into someone familiar. "Mercedes?" She looks up into his hazel eyes as she tries to remember how he looked the last time she saw him. Certainly different hair.

"Noah?" He hugs her and she hugs him back. They were good friends back in the day and they kind of dated, but then Noah moved away and they lost touch with each other. He always had a place in her heart and now he is standing in front of her.

"I missed you Cedes, how are you?" They start walking as they catch up with their lives. Noah gestures to her to come and sit at a restaurant. They sit down and grab something to eat as Mercedes talks about her work and personal life.

Noah tells her about him having his own business in construction and that he is extending his business into other cities as well. He makes her laugh and she can't remember when she had laughed this hard in a long time.

"So how is Quinn? Are you still best friends?" Mercedes' face changes and it is very much noticed by Noah. "Wrong subject? We can talk about something else if you want?"

"How do you do that? You get me like immediately it's almost creepy." He cracks a smile and she joins her. She is just glad she can talk to someone again.

"Well, I have known you for such a long time and I bet it's the same with you when it comes to me. So not talking about Quinn, got it! Are you still singing?" His eyes light up at the memory of Mercedes' voice and knows she has a lot of talent and can make it if she really wants to.

She sighs and shakes her head, still smiling. "Yeah, I still sing Noah. Why do you ask?" He smirks at her as he takes a sip of his water. She knows what that smirk means. Noah is one of the few people who believe she can make it out there. She isn't that sure of her talents.

"Ooh come on Cedes, we both know you will rock this world with your talent. You are beautiful, smart, and hella talented. There is nothing stopping you, but you. Give yourself some credit for once." He winks at her and she feels her heart swell.

With red cheeks, she puts a strand of hair behind her ear. "Thank you for the compliment, but we both know how I think about it. It's a fantasy Noah and you know that too." She looks at her hand in her lap.

Noah smiles as he looks her over. "Well, do you want to make a reality out of that fantasy?" Her head shoots up at his words and looks at him quite puzzled. He laughs at her expression and she shakes her head again.

"You're kidding right?" Mercedes asks as she tries to wrap her head around what he is trying to say to her.

"No, I am not. I have a friend in the music industry if you want to get something out there. Just one studio session, how about that?" His brows rise and he watches her intently. When she waits a minute to respond to know for sure he isn't joking she is shocked.

"Are you for real?" Still not fully believing that this is actually happening her gaze is drawn to the entrance of the restaurant as Sam and Quinn walk into the door.

"Yes, I am. Artie is always looking for new voices and I know for sure he would love the sound of your voice I am sure of it. So you will do it?" Noah's voice is full of hope that he can finally convince her of her beautiful soulful voice.

She looks from Noah to Sam and Quinn and when Sam looks away almost disappointed her emotions switch and she feels anger inside her. "I would love to." It's out of her mouth before she can think about it and Noah is over the moon.

He stands up and she does as well. He hugs her and her arms snake around his waist and she feels really safe for the first time in weeks. When they part she looks into his eyes as he watches her as well. Not thinking, she stands on her tiptoes and kisses him on the mouth.

It's a sweet kiss and it doesn't get further than just a pack on the lips. He looks sweetly at her as he gets her chair for her and she sits down. When he sits back down Quinn and Sam walk over to their table.

"Hi, Puck I haven't seen you in ages." Sam says as they stop at the table. Mercedes really wishes to be swallowed by the floor at this moment. She looks out of the window, not knowing how to react.

Noah gets up and hugs Sam, as they go way back as well. "How are you doing Sam? And hey to you too Quinn." He hugs Quinn as well.

"I am great. You look awesome, way better without the mohawk." Sam laughs as he pads Noah on the back. Quinn laughs as well as she tries to make eye contact with Mercedes who is trying to find anything to watch except them.

"Sam we should get to our table." Quinn says after seeing Mercedes isn't going to recognize her. Sam sees the hurt in Quinn's eyes and hugs Noah again. When Quinn is already gone he bends over as he holds Mercedes' back of the chair.

"Stop ignoring Quinn, she hasn't done anything wrong." He whispers before walking away as well. Noah sits down and looks at Mercedes with a questionable look. When a few minutes pass and she hasn't said anything he sighs.

"Care to elaborate on that?" She looks up at him and that's when he sees it and the penny drops. She is in love with Sam. He understands the kiss way better now. Don't get him wrong, he loves Mercedes but as a friend not as a lover.

They had established a long time ago that they were better off as friends. The interaction she had just minutes ago with Sam says enough. When she doesn't answer his question he decides to speak for her.

"Okay, if you don't I will. You had a falling out with Sam and Quinn got dragged into it. Now you are not talking to either of them, even though you miss Quinn more than ever and you're in love with Sam." At that last part her head shoots up and a tear falls down her cheek.

"It's okay Cedes, I get it. You have been in love with him as long as I know you. The knucklehead just doesn't see it and that's on him. But ignoring Quinn isn't going to solve anything. You should make amends with her and then I will kick Sam's ass for everything he did or said to you okay?"

At that last part, she smiles genuinely at him. "I can live with that." She winks at him. He laughs at her demeanor as he looks over to Quinn and Sam's table. He can see that Sam is watching them.

"Why don't we make him pay a little and team up like old times?" Her eyes turn to slits as she knows him better and she wasn't born yesterday.

"You know that is the worse plan you've had in years… let's do it!" She smiles at him and grabs his hand across the table. He smiles back and watches Sam's eye twitch.

"Nice. Wanna get out of here and have a movie night at my place?" She nods and he pulls her to her feet and into his embrace. Her hands are on his shoulders as his hands go down her spine and land on her bountiful ass.

Noah doesn't care that they are in public. He bows down and captures her lips in a chaste kiss. When they part he looks over Mercedes to Sam and winks. He leads Mercedes to the entrance as one of his hands is still on her ass, claiming her as his own. He has been playing this game for years and he knows Sam is still watching. And Noah is right as Sam watches them leave, his blood boiling.

So this is another one, I hope you liked it. Please review, it makes my day!
