Mercedes shook her head smiling widely as Brody held the door open for her. He smiled. "I swear we were stuck in that car for five hours. It was freezing and we had to make some tough choices."
"So getting practically naked and huddling up with your frat brothers was that tough choice?"
"Hey don't judge me it was really cold and we had our boxers on. All I can say it is worked and it makes for a great story to tell pretty girls to make them smile. And your smile, it stops my heart."
Mercedes bit her lip as he followed her to her door. "Well thanks for a good time, I don't think I would have made it these last six weeks without your help Brody."
Brody smiled moving closer to her and pulled her into his arms. He kissed her sweetly and she accepted it more so to see if she could feel anything for him. After a moment she pulled away.
"Brody, I don't know if I can do this."
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to pressure you."
Mercedes sighed. "Its me, please believe me, I'm just." Her voice trailed off and he nodded.
"You are still in love with Sam."
She nodded. "Its not like I want to be, I mean he and Quinn are." She stopped grabbing her keys and putting them into her door and Brody finished her sentence.
"Practically living together. They just fixed up the nursery and she said he asked her to move in but she said she wanted to wait until they got married."
Mercedes hand stilled as she looked down to the ground as those words tore into her soul, they talked about marriage after only 10 weeks? Well it made sense he was in engaged to her before.
The day after he found out she was pregnant he went with Quinn to the doctors and they confirmed she was pregnant. Sam still said he wanted to be with Mercedes but she told him that he needed to be there for his child and Quinn. She wanted so bad to call him and tell him that she changed her mind. that she wanted to be with him still but it wasn't right. That was 10 weeks ago. Ten weeks since she saw Sam, since she got to tell him how much she loved and wanted him. She shook her head trying to clear her mind of Sam. She needed to get over him, and as much as she hated it, Sam moved on so she should too. She looked at Brody and smiled slightly.
"You wanna come in for a drink?"
Brody shoved his hands in his pockets. "I would but I'm not that thirsty."
She glanced up to him. "Neither am I."
Brody cocked his eyebrow and moved closer to her. She backed up to the wall as he opened her door and lead her through it. Kicking the door with his foot, he gently pushed her on the couch and attacked her lips with his, running his hands up her dress and to her thighs.
Sam pulled up to Mercedes place and sat in his debating if he was going to go in or not. He had spent the last 10 weeks wishing he could see her, touch her, hold her. Quinn had been around non stop and while he wanted to do right by her, he couldn't be with her in the way she wanted him to be. Quinn was talking about Marriage and their life together and all Sam wanted was to run as fast as he could and find Mercedes.
Walking up to her door, fear crept inside him seeing her door slightly ajar. He heard a man say she felt good and he pushed the door opening seeing Brody on top of Mercedes.
"What the hell is going on here?"
Mercedes noticed Sam and pushed Brody off of her. She sat up staring angrily at Sam. "Sam what the hell are you doing here?"
Broady smirked at Sam running his hand up Mercedes thigh. "You know Sam we were just in the middle of something so if you don't mind."
Mercedes pushed his hand off of her leg as Sam saw red. He pulled Brody up and shoved him against the wall. Without warning Sam rammed his fist into Brody's face. Mercedes jumped up and grabbed Sam's arm.
"Sam stop it! Leave him alone. Let him go!"
Sam punched him again before he let him go and shoved him out the door. Mercedes shoved Sam. "What the hell are you doing? What right do you have to come in here and acting like a jealous boyfriend."
Sam stared at her angrily. "He was taking advantage of you!"
"No he wasn't I wanted him here its you I don't want here."
"Mercedes I love you! He is just using you to get into your pants."
Mercedes laughed as she rolled her eyes walking away from him. "What are you doing here anyways? Quinn finally let you off your leash?"
"Merce will you just stop and listen to me. This isn't want I want. I never wanted to be with her, I was just trying to do what is right."
"Ok well go back to doing the right thing and leave me alone."
Sam walked over to her. "Why are you acting like you don't love me?"
"Because I don't! You left me for her Sam, got her pregnant and I am over all of this. Love hurts too much. This, us hurts to much."
She walked towards her bedroom and turned towards Sam. "You let yourself in and now you can let yourself out."
She walked into her room slamming the door. She wasn't gonna cry over Sam. Not anymore. After her shower she changed into an oversized t-shirt and a pair of workout shorts. She walked out of her bedroom throwing her hair in a ponytail seeing Sam still sitting on her couch.
"Why are you still here?"
Sam stood shoving his hands in his pockets. "Mercy I can't lose you. These last 10 weeks have been horrible without you, then to walk in here and see you with him? I can't keep living like this."
Mercedes shrugged. "Should have thought about that before you screwed your ex behind my back."
Sam moved closer to her. "Why are you being so cold I am sorry I didn't mean to hurt you like this."
Mercedes scoffed shaking her head. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, I never wanted this to happen. All things I am sick and tired of hearing. Sam you walked away to be with Quinn. So go back to her because you are not needed or wanted here."
Sam folded his arms across his chest. "You don't mean that."
Mercedes grabbed her phone. "I do mean that. Now if you'll excuse me Sam, I need to call Brody. You interrupted our evening and you were rude as hell to him."
Sam walked over to her grabbing the phone out of her hand. "You are not calling him! He is using you Mercedes, its what he does. He is a player and you are his newest target. He sees you as a conquest that he was close to conquering tonight."
Mercedes folded her arms and smirked. "What makes you think he hasn't already conquered it? And tonight was just the encore?"
Sam's nose flared in anger as she spoke. "I swear if you had sex with him."
"What? What can you do Sam? What? Don't like the thought of his hands all over my body? Of me calling out his name and not yours?"
Sam moved closer to her until she was backed against the wall. "Did you have sex with him?"
Mercedes licked her lips smiling. "Maybe I didn't, but maybe I did. Maybe I let him go down on me til I couldn't cum anymore only to have him fill me up with him and ride him til we both were thoroughly satisfied. Maybe you were good, but maybe he is better."
Mercedes knew Sam was getting upset but it served him right. He needed to leave her alone and let her try to move on.
Sam stared at her angrily something in him told her she was lying but that didn't stop the thought of her and him to send him over the edge.
"He's better than me? You really think any man can give you what I do? You and I both know that's not true."
"Get out Sam. I don't want you here."
Sam stared at her for a while debating if he should just leave. Head back to Quinn's and spend the rest of his life with a woman he didn't love, or try to win back the one he did. He reached up lifting her chin so her eyes could meet his.
"Mercedes I know you are lying and even if you aren't I don't care. I love you, I need you and I want to make this work. I know you still love me too."
Mercedes tried to turn her head away from him but he held her chin. "Look me in my eyes and tell me you moved on and I will leave I promise."
She glanced back at him and shook her head. "I just want you to leave me alone."
"I can't." He moved his hand from her chin to her cheek. "I can't let you go until I know I have no chance of getting you back."
"You left me for her Sam, you left me and went to Quinn. And I am seeing Brody now. Whatever we had is over."
"I'm sorry, Cedes baby I am so sorry." He moved close pulling her into a hug holding her close. "i'm sorry, please. I cant lose you."
Mercedes wanted to give in but she couldn't, Sam was still going to be a father to a child who wasn't hers, she was about to push him away when she felt his lips against her neck.
"Sam what are you doing?"
"I'm sorry baby." She said between kisses to her neck. She moaned as he hit the spot in her neck that he knew was most sensitive.
Sam knew it was a big risk but kissing her was all he could think to do, to make her see how sorry he was. His hands roamed down her body and he could feel her reacting to him.
"Mercy you know I love you baby, please let me show you." He took her lips to his and she melted against him. She hated herself for needing his touch but she did. Feeling her respond to him, Sam pulled away lifting her shirt off of her then pushing her back against the wall gently. He moaned seeing her body. "God, I've missed you." Sam kissed her lips trying to put all his feelings into it. He moved to her neck kissing his way down to the slopes of her breast. After paying homage her breast he worked his way down to her thighs. He pulled her boy shorts off as she gripped the wall trying to brace herself as he threw her right leg over his shoulder and gave her one long swipe from her slit to her clit. He moaned at her taste, it was always intoxicating. Sam slowly moved his tongue around her clit as he slid first one then two fingers into her core moving in time with his tongue. Hearing her moans just egged him on, she was grinding against his mouth and he gave her everything he had. She called out his name and he sped up his actions needed her to cum. As if she knew he wanted her to cum, she came hard clamping down on his fingers. His mouth flooded with her essence and he lapped up everything she had to offer. After he cleaned her he kissed his way back up to her needing her in the worst way. As he went to her lips she moved to the side and pushed him off of her.
"Thanks for the release you can see your way out." She bent down grabbing her shirt and placing it back on. Sam turned to her confused.
"Wait what?"
"Well you kicked Brody out and I needed to get off, thanks by the way. Now you can leave."
Sam looked down to his painfully tight pants and back at her. "Merce I know you can see that I have a situation here."
"Then get to your car and take care of yourself. Or how about you go find Quinn."
"Quinn and I aren't having sex. We haven't even kissed. I can't be with her knowing that I love you."
Mercedes shrugged. "Sucks to be you."
She walked over to the door and opened it. "Now I have work in the morning so if you don't mind."
"Mercy, please."
"Sam you have two seconds to leave before I call the police."
Sam stared at her at first as if to challenge her but sighed stepping back. "I guess I will see you around."
"If I need a fix I'll call you. But don't hold your breath."
She slammed the door locking it and felt tears come to her eyes. She needed to let him go no matter how hard it might be.
