I hope you enjoy!
Age 16:
Summer Part One
"Hey Tina, are you still going to Puck's pool party?" Mercedes asked while they were waited in line at the Lima Bean.
"Yeah… Mike asked me to go with him." She responded blushing.
"Aww T! Really? That's so exciting."
"I know! He's so cute and sweet, you're okay with me going him right? I know we planned on riding together." She asked giving her an apologetic look.
"Girl! It's fine I can come alone, I know Kurt and Blaine are going together but I rather not get trapped when they leave to… you know." She said and they both shared a look before laughing.
"Why not go with Sam?" She asked before ordering for the both of them watching Mercedes roll her eyes and let out a huff.
"What?"
"He's been with she who must not be named." Mercedes replied taking her drink as they looked for a table and to their luck they found one in the back away from everyone or so they thought, Mercedes smile faded when she saw the unholy trinity coming their way.
"Speaking of porn star Barbie.' She quipped before plastering a fake smile on her face.
"Hi Mercedes." Quinn said completely ignoring Tina.
"Quinn."
"Hey Mercedes!" Britney said with a warm smile that faded with both Santana and Quinn glared at her.
"Hey Britney, how's your summer so far?" Mercedes asked she never had a problem with Britney who seem very sweet just being forced to be mean and if she was honest she didn't have a problem with Santana either it was just Quinn who seemed to have an issue with her but she wasn't sure why. Well that was a lie it was because of Sam, she apparently liked him and thought that their friendship was more than that but it simply wasn't.
"It's been gre-" She started but stopped when glared at her again before looking back at Mercedes with a fake smile.
"So are you attending Puckerman's party?" She asked.
"Maybe. Why?" Mercedes asked feeling a headache coming.
"Well I'll be attending… with Sam so I thought I'd just ask since you two are so close."
"Congratulations? I'm not sure why that matters to me?"
"Just figured you'd want to know is all." Quinn lied knowing she wanted to rub it in her face.
"Thanks?"
"No problem! We'll be going and leaving together… and who knows maybe he'll finally ask me to be his girlfriend and then we could all hang out."
"I sincerely think the fuck not but one could hope right?" Mercedes said matching Quinn's fake sweetness smirking when she heard Tina giggle.
"But that would mean him spending less time with you… since it'll be weird with him always with you."
"Anything else?" Mercedes asked growing annoyed by this complete stupidity of the entire conversation.
"Nope. Bye!" She said waving feeling triumphant about how it ended and walking away laughing. Mercedes counted to ten before shaking her head ins disgust.
"She's a bitch." Tina said rolling her eyes.
"Don't I know it."
…
Mercedes pulled up to Noah's house parking before getting out and smiling when she saw Tina and Mike waiting for her like Tina said they would, she waved grabbing her bag before walking over to them.
"Hey Cedes!" Mike said giving her a side hug.
"Hey Mike, hey T!" She said after pulling away and hugging Tina. "There's a lot of people here!" She added walking ahead towards the back where all the music and noise was coming from, when they walked through the gate they were greeted by laughter, water being splashed and the smell of grilling food. She noticed the whole football team was there and rolled her eyes because that meant so was the Cheerios. She heard an annoying laugh and knew it was Quinn's. She made a mental note to avoid whatever area she was in while she was there.
"Hot moma!" Puck shouted when he saw Mercedes, giving her body an appreciative once over lingering on her thighs that looked amazing in the jean shorts she had on.
"Hey Puck!" She said smiling walking over and giving him a hug that he held on far too long.
"You're swimming right?" He asked still holding on to her.
"Mhm, I just need somewhere to change."
"Okay yeah, come on I'll show you to the bathroom." He said grabbing her hand and leading her inside, they walked down a long hallway until he stopped and knocked on the door before opening it.
"There you go."
"Thanks Puck." She said before going inside and quickly changing into her bathing suit which was a white high waist two piece that tied around her neck. She put her clothes into her bag taking out her towel before walking out smiling when she saw that Puck waited for her.
"Damn hot moma! Hmm… I might need to keep you close to me today." Puck said winking at her and making her laugh.
"Boy! Where can I put my things?"
"Here, my room is right there you can toss it in there." He said opening the door across from the bathroom letting her put her things down.
"Alright let's party!" She said happily. They talked about random stuff as they walked back outside before he was pulled away by one of his team mates and she went to find Tina or Kurt.
The party was going on with any real problems minus to occasional glare she'd get from Quinn for absolutely no reason or whenever one of the boys from the football team would try to hit on her only for her to politely decline their advances. She was about to grab another drink when she realized she hadn't even spoken to Sam and right as she was about to go over to talk to her she was stopped by a pair of arms wrapping around her.
"Hey sexy." She heard a voice say before she turned around to see Anthony Rashad looking down at her with a warm smile.
"Umm… hey." She said with a half smile.
"Having fun?"
"Yeah, it's pretty fun… you?" She asked realizing she was still wrapped in his arms and gently moved them and took a step back.
"I was until you did that" He joked flashing his perfect smile winking at her.
"I'm terribly sorry to disappoint." She teased blushing slightly.
"Well you could always make it up to me you know?"
"Oh really and why would I want to do that?"
"Because you're sweet." He responded closing the gap she created leaning down slightly so they were at eye level.
"What do you say? Will you go on a date with me to mend my shattered heart." He asked with a cheeky smile.
"Hmm… why do you want to go out with me?"
"Well obviously because you're sweet but also because I've wanted to asked out but I'm a little shy." He answered honestly.
"What if I'm shy too?" She asked biting her her lip looking up at him.
"Then let's be shy together… Breadstix tomorrow say seven-ish?" He asked wrapping his arms around her again.
"I'll let you know before I leave...deal?" Anthony smiled and nodded before placing a soft kiss to her cheek.
"Deal." He said pulling away and she smiled before turning around walking towards Sam who looked angry, she shot him a smile but he just looked away.
"Hey Sammy!" She said whens he was close enough and when he didn't say anything she moved closer.
"Sam? What's up?" She asked looking at him confused.
"Don't you have another swim suit?" He asked looking over her shoulder at Anthony before looking back at her.
"Excuse me?"
'The purple one… the one piece."
"Are you fucking serious!" She said in a whisper.
"Very." He said shrugging before she shoved him.
"First it was my damn dresses now it's my bathing suit! What's next? You want me to stop wearing thongs because guess what I do!" She said looking around happy no one could hear them.
"I'm just saying, showing that much is leaving little to imagination and the guys are basically eye fucking you."
"So what! Quinn's bathing suit is showing more than mine and I'm sure you've been eye fucking her the whole day. Ugh! You know what fuck this!" She said turning around and storming off before Sam ran after her grabbing her hand but she snatched it away.
"I don't want to hear it! Go be happy with little miss perfect and all the other girls with half their asses out, while I go change then go home."
"Merce I'm just..."
"No, it's a fucking double standard! Quinn and everyone else here can wear what they want and you drool over them. I wear a sensible two piece and I'm showing too much… I wear a dress and it's too much. I get it now, I'm not a fucking twig so I should dress accordingly. Point finally drilled into my head." Mercedes said moving back before feeling her tie loosen and slowly fall down. She quickly the fabric but her breast had already began to spill out. She heard the first whistle before more came and then she felt a thud, everything was happening in slow motion but Sam wrapped his arms around her shielding her body from everyone else.
"Really Sam, you act as if you didn't know we were planning to do this." Santana said from behind Mercedes causing her to look up at him pleading with her eyes for it to be a lie.
"Sam?" She said getting choked up and when he finally looked at her she knew.
"Asshole!" She said trying to move away but he wrapped his arms around her tighter.
"Just let me get you inside first, please." Sam said as he started walking them into the house and straight to Puck's room. Once they got inside he slowly unwrapped his arms giving her a chance to fix herself before fully letting go.
"You can go now!" She shouted trying not to cry.
"Merce, please listen… I didn't know they were going to do that to you. I thought they were talking about someone else."
"And that makes it better?" She asked looking at him shocked.
"I'm sorry, come on Mercy don't be mad at me…. I didn't know it was you!" He pleaded.
"I don't believe you." She said putting her shorts on followed by her shirt while shaking her head in disbelief. She'd known him for years and she knew when he was lying, she tried to rationalize it but then the conversation about her bathing suit came back and she found herself growing angrier before looking up at him with tears in her eyes.
"You did know… why didn't you just say something?"
"Mercedes, I'm sorry. I thought they were kid-" He stopped when her hand landed on his face causing a sharp sting.
"Don't talk to me, you're so obsessed with popularity that you allowed your new girlfriend and her friends to do that to me. They literally terrorize me all year and you just fawn over that mean bitch doing it, so go be Mr. Popular with Quinn and leave me the hell alone! She made it clear that our friendship would be over when you two started dating and now I know how true that is..." She said grabbing her bag storming out but before going to her car she walked over to where Anthony was standing.
"Made your decision?" He asked when she tapped his shoulder and he saw her standing there.
"Yeah… Pick me up at seven thirty." She said before walking away and out of the party.
Soooooo...? Let's have some fun.
1. Do we think Sam is just an idiot or he has feelings?
2. Quinn jealous orrrr just a plain bitch.
3. Does Mercedes even like Sam in that way?
I want to hear all your theories but I will say this... it is based off of a 90's love song so keep that into consideration lol
Not much of a hing huh? How about a little sneak peek instead?
"Come on Cedie."
"Fine! I had a great time as well." She said rolling her eyes before noticing him move closer.
Okay that's it! BYEEEEEE until next time! XOXO
