Someday We'll be Together
You're far away, from me my love (My baby), And just as sure my, my baby
As there are stars above I wanna say, wanna say, wanna say
Sam and Mercy had their conversation, after her 'Someday we'll be together' performance and he'd firmly told her this was not the end, she'd smiled, took his kiss then waving her finger at him saying "Remember what I said" giving him back the ring he'd given her, for safe keeping, and she was off on her Beyoncé tour.
2016
A year on and the tour was finished and Mercy was back in LA doing her extension classes, answering Sam regular texts and making new friends.
Sam had stayed at McKinley for a short while teaching the New Directions, he soon caught the teaching bug and decided to negotiate with Mr. Schuester for a secondment, shocked when he agreed, he started filling out University applications for all over the world and finally got accepted in Manchester, England. He called Mercy, who of course encouraged him to try new things and went for it, so September of that year he made the three year commitment to University.
Mercy did more calling then him that first year she, was encouraging him to take up extra-curricular activities, he finally found a music class and hooked up with some guys to form a band
"You any further along with the band name yet" Mercy asked when they spoke on the phone
Sam laughed "We spent like a month throwing things around and came up with JAMES"
"James?" Mercy asked
"Yeah; Josh, Andy, Matt, Elliott and me Sam, JAMES" he explained as Mercy laughed
"How original"
"We agreed practice Tuesdays and Thursdays so, if you can't get hold of me you know what I'll be doing"
"Ok" Mercy said they talked for a while longer before Mercy closed the call down
2017
Sam went up to visit Mercy that second summer and didn't like what he saw "Sam I'm not restricting you on what you do we aren't even together right now" she tried to get across
"Did we agree, no promise, that if you decided to bust that cherry before you were thirty you'd call me?" he shouted still angry at walking in to see Mercy sitting on some guy's lap in the student bar
"We did" Mercy laughed "I knew you were going to blow and I had to get you out of there, they must think I'm mad" she laughed "Sam I was sitting on his lap we weren't having sex for God sake" she said unable to believe Sam's display of jealous
"But you knew I was coming why did you do that?" he asked still mad
"Sam it was innocent, do you really think I'm going to flaunt that stuff in your face if I was doing something with him?" she said finally sitting on the couch in her apartment "Listen" she said when Sam threw himself down beside her "I know you have needs and I'm fine with you seeing other people we have two more years of student life left, you're in England and I'm in LA we are not going to get to see each other that much, all I ask is that you tell me before you have sex with anyone and I mean anyone" she said being serious
"There you go again giving me permission to do shit" he said rolling his eyes at her
"Sam be reasonable it's two years I don't want to own you from here I need you to enjoy your student life, if things are still fine between us then we can have that conversation you keep asking for" she said slanting her head to look at him with her sad eyes
"So what do you want me to say to that?" he asked
"Promise" she said smiling at him
"Ok I promise" he said smiling back at her
"Good sooo" she said waiting for him to offer his compromise
"Well I'm not giving you permission to do anything I couldn't cope with it" he said pushing his sulk lip out
"I can kiss thought?" she asked shocked
"No not even kiss, nothing" he said seriously
"Sam is that fair?" she asked trying to make him look at what he was asking
"It's what I can deal with Mercy I'm being honest"
"But I just gave you permission to have sex with other women" she said not believing that he was really up for leaving the promise like this "You know what I don't even have a problem with it so yes I promise" she said attitude centre stage Sam knew she was expecting him to change his mind at that, but inside, he knew he couldn't cope with another man's hands on his woman
They went sightseeing, had food and food fights, some Karaoke sessions and lots of sleep and pretty soon the week was over and it was time for Sam to go back to Lima, again tearful goodbyes and talk of broken hearts "It's going to be two years till I get back to Lima after this" Sam announced as he broke away
"What!" Mercy shouted after him
"Two years and I don't want those lips touching anyone!" he shouted back making her laugh for a short while before she cried. Sam saw her cry but he couldn't cope with it he just turned and walked away slowly stopping only when he got to the gate to wave truth; he was crying too.
2018
He didn't think it would happen but one June evening he had that difficult conversation with Mercy he was constantly in pain and needed gratification, if he was honest all these girls constantly in his dorm was so tempting and he'd gone as far as he could without breaking his promise to Mercy on a few occasions but of late he wanted more and the only way he was going to get that was to have this damn conversation with Mercy, dialling her number with a heavy heart.
"Mercy we need to talk about my promise" he started
"Can I change mine?" she asked laughing
"Babe this is serious" he said changing the mood "I'm not in love with her or anything I just really need to you know" he said to silence on the other end of the phone "Mercy?" he called knowing she was hurt by the conversation
"What? What do I know Sam?" she spat back
"Listen this is your request not mine" he said in his defense
"I want to change my request" she said
"Ok" Sam said "I can work with whatever you give me" he commented feeling really awkward telling the girl he loved he was going to sleep with someone else
"Ok you've told me but please don't make it tonight, I just don't want to be sitting thinking about you that way with someone else all night" she asked
"It won't be tonight, I just decided to start seeing her and called you she doesn't know yet" he said straight away
"Listen to me we aren't even together I don't even have the right to ask this" she laughed
"That's a false laugh Mercy" Sam said rolling his eyes "If you don't want me to do this just say and I won't, I'm not about to hurt you any more than I am already"
"No, no Sam I want you to live your life, if it's to be it will be" she said
"Are you sure?" he asked
"Yeah I want pictures" she laughed
"I'm not even giving you a name let alone pictures, pure self-gratification that's what this is about" he said seriously "I love you Mercy" he said sincerely
"I know you do and I love you and that must have been hard for you to do so I really appreciate it" she added with some more chat before closing the call down and, a serious cry that night
2019
Sam woke up and stretched he'd felt Jenny was becoming clingy which was something he couldn't afford to happen, he'd woke up one morning and found her searching through his phone and decided that was the straw that was going to break this particular camel's back and asked her to leave. That was over 4 months ago he hadn't looked at another girl since maybe for him it was the prospect of having another conversation like that one 10 months ago with Mercy that put him off but he just wasn't up for it.
"Morning" A blond haired girl said as she walked across his space and out the door naked
"Morning" Sam said looking around expecting to see one of the guys following her out of his built in wardrobe "Josh" he called, thinking it must be the player smiling and got no answer "Andy!" he shouted as Andy came walking in
"What's up" he said in his thick Caribbean accent
"I just saw a girl come out my space and I was wondering what Josh was doing in my space with a girl" Sam asked smiling
"You mean Beyoncé want to be 2" Andy laughed "She was with you Blood"
"With me" Sam said as he shot up out of bed "Did we..?" he asked Andy
"I don't know Blood" Andy laughed as the girl walked back in "Too much drink" he said through his laugh "Hello …" he said waiting for the girl to say her name mainly helping Sam out
"Keisha" she said all bubbly as she jumped back on the bed
"Keisha" Andy said raising his eyebrows at Sam as he left his space
"So Keisha" Sam said investigating "Sorry I was so out of it last night I don't usually drink, what happened for us?" he asked
"Obviously we needed what we needed and we both got it no strings you asked for and you got that" she said going in for a kiss, which Sam started to take until he remembered Mercy
"Shit" he said "You have to leave" as she pulled the covers up and put herself more under them indicating she had no intention of leaving. Sam didn't have time to argue he grabbed his sweat bottoms and his phone and left the room.
"Shit" he said again as he dialed her number praying she didn't answer and he could leave this whole mess as a message but she picked up on the third ring
"Sam" she said brightly
"Mercy" he replied and she knew something was wrong
"What's up?" she asked and he felt her eyes roll through the phone
"I just woke up" he said stopping for reaction
"Yeah" she said her voice questioning
"I went out last night with the guys and well I had a drink, I know, I don't do well with that stuff but, we were just blowing out you know"
"And" she asked getting impatient with his conversation
"Well I woke up this morning" he said closing his eyes
"Sam stop it just tell me" she shouted on the phone
"There was a girl in my bed Mercy, I know I went all the way with her and I'm sorry I didn't call you" he said waiting for the fallout "Mercy" he said looking at his phone to find she'd hung up. He tried several times to call her that day but she just wasn't picking his calls up. He'd gone back to his space and ordered the girl out, washed his sheets, clothes and skin and tried Mercy again with no joy.
"Sam what's up" Elliott said in French because they were all learning his language from him
"I fucked up Ell" he said without looking up
"You got a disease?" Elliott asked
"No" Sam replied
"Well it can be fixed then" he said tapping him on the back
Any conversations Sam was to have with Mercy for the rest of that year were via Blaine through Kurt
2020
Sam
So the three years of University were over and the guys were planning on throwing a party for all the final year students, Josh, Andy, Matt, Elliott and Sam, who had been dorm buddies dragged the music system down the hall to the party venue which was going to be the girls dorm that being the biggest dorm in the building
"Ell the party's been locked down the Principle must have got hold of the information, he gave us till 4 p.m. to get our things out and they've had all the keys back and locked the place up mate" Tracy informed him over the phone
"Shit" Elliot said his accent thick with pissed off as he looked at the others "party's crashed guys no venue" as everyone stopped dragging the speakers and stuff and sat on them
"What the fuck do we do now?" Andy asked
"We could still go out, let's all go to Rainbows it's big enough" Sam suggested
"You got to pay to get in then drinks are like £5 a shot we'll have to walk back home after two drinks" Josh said in his Australian twang as everyone agreed
"Just grab a bitch and let them pay" Matt suggested with a smile
"I reckon we're out of bitches, as you call them, we'll have to up the game we're gentlemen now" Elliott announced "Educated and shit" he said as they all laughed
"Matt I know it's your thing as well as the N word but you got to stop with the bitch thing man it's not cool" Sam said as everyone looked at him
"What's with you Evans, you finished Uni like 3 days ago and your changing already what's up?" Josh asked
"Matt's Asian and Andy's black so I guess they have the given right to call themselves a derogatory name, if they feel like it but, I don't think that gives them the right to call others names that's all" Sam pointed out
"So a girl walks up to you and throws it down right there on a plate in front of God and everyone you gonna treat that girl like you'd treat the love of your life that soul mate you keep on about us finding?" Matt asked his Scottish accent rolling off his tongue thicker than usual
"No I'm gonna cover up and take that shit if I need it" Sam replied
"Ok ok so it's not alright for me to call a girl a bitch but you call their pussy shit and that's fine" Matt asked for clarification
"I can see where this is going can we please make a decision, are we going to Rainbows or what because this equipment needs moving" Elliott said in French to stop the argument
"TBC Evans" Matt said picking back up his end of the speaker as Andy carried the other end back to the house
"I'm not even having another conversation with you about this just stop doing it" Sam said smiling at Matt
"You stop and I'll stop" Matt said childlike
"Ok we agree to stop then" Sam said
"You agree to stop first" Matt said
"No you st…."
"Shut the fuck up guys" Andy, Elliott and Josh said together and everyone laughed
They got the equipment back to the house,
"Come on guys it's our last night together, until god knows when we'll all meet again, let's make it count " Andy said grabbing Sam on the shoulders and jumping almost over his head as they headed for their dorm
"What do you say we bust this open for old time sake, instead of going out?" Elliott asked holding the bottle of bubbly up they'd brought for their goodbye toast the beginning of their last year
"I don't want any I need a clear head" Sam replied
"I've got to go back and live that false life of girlfriends, family, marriage and all that crap" Josh said sitting up "You're into that truth talk Sammy how do you tell your parents that their only son is as gay as a ten bob note?" he said giggling at the end
"Josh I didn't really know that your parents didn't know that about you but, they should love you regardless" Elliott said handing him a plastic cup full of drink
"Obviously you've never met my fucking parents, there are always conditions with them"
"I don't know how we've been like best Buds for so long and I didn't even know that about you" Andy said staring at his made up face and painted nails, before laughing "they know Bro"
"I don't mind you all knowing, I can be myself with you but when I'm home all this is off" he said pointing at his makeup and baggy clothes "It's all BBQ, surfing and girls" he said cutting his eye at the prospect of home
"There's lots we don't know about each other we came here to forget remember our very first conversation" Andy reminded everyone "Forget"
"Yeah but now we're all going back to those situations and, I don't know, I feel like I need another 3 years" Elliott replied "My abuser is still around"
"Abuser?" Sam and Andy shouted together
"Yeah I was beaten by my step-dad almost on a daily basis, my Mom was helpless or just didn't care and when I actually found my real Dad and told him he threw money at me in the way of University" Elliott said
"Sorry about that man but you're beefed up now you can knock him the fuck out for you and your Mother" Andy said
"Yeah knock him the fuck out" Josh shouted laughing as if he'd just heard a joke
"Mine's a matter of life and death I've got to get married to some woman I've never met, have sex with her regardless of how I feel and produce some beautiful grandchildren for both our families, arranged marriage. As one of only two boys in the family I'm compelled, I was just playing at Uni when I started but, you guys made it real for me and I'm glad I took it seriously in the end" Matt said
"I think that's the most serious I've ever seen you in all the years we've known each other" Sam laughed
"Yeah she might be really beautiful and I'll have to stop referring to girls and bitches and stuff or she might be a dog and then all I'll call her is bitch" he laughed "As long as she's not a relative" he said under his breath
"But your babies will be little princes and princesses Matt rest assured on that" Sam piped in
"Thanks Blood" he said smiling
"Ok I'm going to tell but don't judge me" Andy finally said smiling "I have a baby already, she's four and her name is Heaven she is the business and her Mom's not half bad either" he laughed
"So how are we just hearing about Heaven?" Josh asked
"We didn't start off good there was a paternity test and everything but, that happened pretty quick and then we didn't speak for a long while but my Mom had contact like always, and when I went home that second time in second year I met her we connected and she's been the love of my life ever since. I'm going to try with her Mom but all that initial feeling has gone if you know what I mean but Heaven is worth it" he laughed
"Bro you know you can't have a relationship for a child yeah?" Elliott asked
"Yeah I know that blood but I respect her as Heaven's Mom you know? I will always treat her different to all the rest" he said looking over at Sam "So what's your single truth?" he asked him
"I don't have a truth what you see is what you get and, where do you get off blowing me up like that, maybe I don't even want to share my truth with you all" he shouted
"So there is a truth?" Matt questioned as everyone looked on waiting
"Yeah there's a truth" he said defeated "I have a girl I always have had she's studying too in America, she's going to be the next big thing since Whitney Houston and we've planned to get married once she got her first Grammy" he said
"But Jenny" Elliott said wondering off trying not to be judgemental
"Sometimes you've been more dog than us dogs" Josh said leaving his mouth open
"You sit there on your moral high ground telling me everything I've ever done is wrong, and your fucking out left right and centre on your home girl?" Matt stated
"Nothing to say blood" Andy said holding his hands up in the air
"Actually she gave me permission to sleep out but, we're not officially together right now, we knew we were going to be apart for 3 years" Sam replied
"Stop it, you're wanting us to believe you've got this woman who has not only agreed to marry you, but gives you permission to fuck anything that moves?" Andy said hands still in the air
"It's not that sordid but in a nut shell yeah she did" he replied
"I don't believe you" Matt said laughing
"How have you managed to keep her in your head all this time?" Elliott asked
"We love each other" Sam replied
"Well that's the very first time I've heard you use that word in my presence anyway" Matt replied "And I've heard some loose shit come out of your mouth Evans in the quest to get laid"
"You'll never hear that loose shit when I talk about her" Sam smiled
"So you're just going to pick up where you left off?" Elliott asked
"Well I think she sort of thinks whatever we were is all over now so I got to go fight to get her back" Sam announced
"And that's truly what you want, to get her back I mean?" Josh asked
"Yeah truly" he replied
"OK" Josh said unable to handle any more "so that's everyone's truth and we're still friends yeah?" Josh asked as everyone nodded a yes "So sleep" he announced as everyone jumped up to get to bed and sat back down
"God that Champagne went straight to my head" Josh said as everyone laughed and decided to fall asleep just where they were.
The next morning they got up packed everything they needed to into their cases took the DJ stuff back to the shop, got to the airport, said goodbye and went their separate ways, each with their truth to deal with
Mercy
My love is yours, baby Oh, right from the stars (Oo, oo, oo) You, you, you possess my soul now honey
(Possess my soul now honey) And I know, I know you own my heart And I wanna say
Mercy sat in her couch at her student home looking out over the city as she reflected on her time in LA, she'd spent the most fabulous year with Beyoncé as the ladies opening act and made some really good connections along the way. She'd met Sticks that first year while on tour and neglected some of her friends with her infatuation of him, he'd treated her well, took her out and he had an understanding of the fact that she didn't want to sleep with anyone right now. Apart from her constant texts and stuff from Sam she could have easily forgotten about Lima and everything it held, she was on a roll, she'd been taken up in a whirlwind of superstardom and didn't want to get off the ride. Who could blame her she was knocking shoulders with the big names, hearing words of encouragement on a regular basis, seeing where she could be if she followed in their footsteps. She'd started her album almost immediately after that tour and she found out Sticks was firmly buried in his wife's garden on the same day she was so upset she called Tina to let her know, quickly wishing she hadn't because all Tina could say was hmm hmm "Is Sam there?" Mercy finally asked
"Yes" she got out as if she'd been holding her breath all the time and Mercy put the phone down. She laughed to herself as she remembered that because less than two weeks later Sam had turned up, like he was checking up on her and they'd made those damn promises. At that time she really didn't care she'd just found out about Sticks and her life wasn't a concession of men so, she knew it would be a while before she considered anyone else, but then he broke his damn promise and he made me so damn mad
"But he has you over a barrel Miss thing because, one; you're not together and two; you didn't tell him about Sticks" she frowned. She'd talked to Kurt about it swearing him to secrecy about the whole situation and, he'd advised her to let it lay but, her conscience was telling her different now she needed to be as honest with Sam as he was being with her. Well when he'd called and told her about that random she was pissed, too pissed to come clean and then the moment passed and now she was just feeling like a liar and a cheat
Now it had been nearly 6 months since she'd actually had a conversation with him and she knew he thought it was because of his random, and in essence it was but, her shame had caught up with her now and she just didn't know how she was going to let him know this without losing him
She was deep in thought when she heard her door knock "Who is it?" she shouted as she approached it
"Monica" she heard through the door opening it a bit faster than she'd intended
"Girl it's been a while, where you been?" Mercy asked as she opened the door to see Monica, Trudy and Sarah standing there with Weston, Denroy and Kelvin in hand and Michael bending behind them "Whatever mess you lot are planning on creating up in here tonight you can forget it" she said laughing at Michael's presence
"Girl you telling me you don't want to get your toes wet the night before you leave us" Monica asked
"Girl I'm telling you that when my toes need wetting I already have someone booked in for the job" she said laughing, as Michael looked on disappointed as she did her usual host things bringing drinks, snacks and laughter until it seemed like everyone except her was drunk
"So Mercy, enquiring minds want to know" Trudy piped up slurring "Who's this guy you know Mr. Perfect?"
"He's not perfect, he just belongs to me" she said before closing the conversation down by saying "And that's all I'm willing to say" as everyone eventually wound down and fell asleep just where they were. The next morning everyone woke up helped Mercy finish packing, she took her keys back to the landlord and made her way to the airport, praying she'd made the right move in putting all her eggs in this one particular basket.
The Return to Lima
Sam had only told half a truth Mercy and he had never really split up and he hadn't really slept with as many of those girls he'd led the guys to believe, he'd slept with two, had a relationship with one of them and finger fucked or received blow jobs all his way through Uni if truth be told. He didn't tell Mercy about the one's he didn't actually sleep with and he wasn't really sure how she was going to take the news of the other 2 girls that added to the basket. They hadn't communicated for about 6 months after he'd told her about Keisha after the event, she was pissed slammed the phone down on him and refused to answer it again. He was going back home praying that the promise they made to the group to meet up the week when Uni finished at Lima Bean and have a weekend of party still held water, he was totally banking on her being there and him getting her back.
The plane landed in Lima and when his feet touched ground he took a deep breath "Is she worth it?" he asked himself arguing with his inner self as he weighed up the pros and cons of having a serious relationship with Mercy "First things first" he stepped off saying he got home saw his parents and siblings before calling Blaine up surprised when he answered "Bro you back yet?" he asked
"Yeah I came back yesterday, you stayed on for parties yeah?"
"Yeah" he smiled "Well scared to face you know who"
"She's not here yet" Blaine confirmed "But I know you're still in the dog house for some girl you didn't tell her about" he laughed "If that's all it is she'll calm down as soon as she sees you" he assured him
"Yeah, heard from anyone else?" he asked changing the subject
"Yeah everyone else is here just waiting for Mercy and you Dude, Meeting at the Lima as planned, did you know Mercy brought the old Adler house?"
"No so she's settling in Lima?"
"Seems"
"I'm just finishing an application form for a job in Ohio Herald doing the comic strip, something I've always wanted to do but, keep that under wraps just in case I don't get it" he laughed nervously "First thing I had to do now I'm back"
"I thought you were going back to McKinley?"
"Yeah I've got to do two years there at least for my University fees and stuff"
"Ok I'll see you in about 2 hours yeah?" Blaine asked
"Yeah later Bro" he said putting the phone away, 'she's settling in Lima like we agreed she must have forgiven me if she's done that' he thought while walking back into the kitchen only to find Mercy sitting with his Mom
"Sam" she said looking at him expressionless
"Mercy" he replied winded
"We're off to the mall and the twins are away for the week so fill your boots" his Mom said grabbing her bag as she left the kitchen grabbing her husband and leaving the house
"How are you?" Sam asked
"I'm good" she replied no tone in her voice "You?"
"Not so good" he said before looking at her "Mercy I have so much to tell you and some of it you're going to hate me for" he got out sitting in the chair opposite her around the table before looking at her "I'm just going to say it all out so please wait until I finish" he asked
"Ok"
"Well first I'm truly sorry about the random situation, that shouldn't have happened and I so regret it. Second I lied" he said looking at his hands seriously wondering if this was a good move "I only told you about the girls I actually slept with there were a couple I let do things to me and I used my fingers on" he paused
"How Many?" she asked rolling her eyes
Sam could see the hurt on her face and he wanted to sugar coat this, but knew he'd regret that move somewhere along the line and his best form of defence was truth so he gave it "We're talking 2" he said closing his eyes for not wanting to see the look of disgust on her face, taking a deep breath as he opened them again to see Mercy making a move "Mercy please don't go" he called after her as she got up from the table. He got up walking fast after her as she made for the door "Mercy" he said grabbing her hand making her turn to look at him "What's wrong?" he asked, when he saw she was crying, before rolling his eyes and saying "Silly Question, I'm so sorry for hurting you" he said pulling her to him but she refused to go
"Don't touch me" she shouted at him as he let her go "I did" she said looking down "I'm sorry Sam I lied too" she said as Sam pulled her harder to him and she came this time
"Did you sleep with someone?" he asked as he hugged her with his eyes closed praying for a negative answer
"No" she said laughing "I was seeing Sticks before you came to see me and we made those promises" she blarted out
"That guy you were sitting on?" he asked
"No, I wouldn't lie like that" she said pulling away from him
"Ok so what did he do?"
"Nothing we kissed a few times, had meals together and parted company because he had a wife" she informed him
"That's not even mentionable" he laughed "Is that a word?" he asked
"It's a word Sam, it's your word" she said looking up at him "So Sticks didn't count?" she asked as he nodded a no "Well one random I just about got my head around to forgive because of my lie, but now you've come at me with these other two, what the fuck are you playing at Evans" she said pushing him away from her "You are so fucking nasty just stay away from me" she said walking out leaving him standing watching her walk
"Ok" he said to himself "I guess I've got her mad enough" he said rubbing his neck 'I knew I should have just hugged her, she'd have been alright with that instead I give her this shit and expect her to take it, again. Well done Evans now I suppose you better get ready for that mega public dressing down' he thought rolling his eyes at what Mercy had in store for him, before she'd give in, knowing they'd never be too angry with each other for sharing truths.
Sam sat at the table thinking about how he was going to close this down quick and smiled to himself "She wouldn't expect me to go public" he said rubbing his hands together "But if that's the game we're playing today I'm in, avatar style" he laughed checking the time grabbing his application to check it over before heading to the post office to send it off and making his way to the meeting
When Sam got to the Lima everyone except Mercy was already there "Where's Mercy?" Brittany asked Sam as he gave everyone hugs and got his order
"I don't know, what you asking me for?" he replied "We're done" he informed the crew and everyone looked on surprised as he sat down
"Sexy Mama let you got Evans?" Puck asked
"No I just decided to stop running after her" he replied laughing inside, he'd seen her approaching in the car park, but just made out like he hadn't, he had x-ray vision when it came to Mercy he could time her arrival and gage her mood in seconds he needed her to hurry up and get her mad out so he could hug his girl
"Brave move" Artie said
"Hi Everyone" Mercedes said, as she made her presence known with her grand entrance, the girls and Kurt rushed towards her and the boys followed shortly after except Sam, he sat watching as she made her entrance
"So what's happening Mercy?" Puck asked as he came out of his hug
"Well the Man that supposed to love me stopped" she said looking at Sam "after fucking around with at least 4 women I might add, and" she almost shouted that last word "Now I'm back on the market and actually, I just decided to go live in LA, I got some friends up there, I know Dwight has been looking for years so I guess as I'm a free agent and all, I might as well jump in and see what a real relationship looks like" she announced as all the boys looked on smiling and all the girls watched Sam's face distort "What?" she asked Sam who looked like he wanted to say something "I just heard you say we're done" she informed him "It would have been nice if you'd have said that this afternoon to me instead of to our friends I guess it's learned behaviour"
"What?" Sam finally opened his mouth to say
"Sorry not sorry, Kissing Finn, Jessie, Karofsky your regular fucked up break ups Sam or, do you just stick your fucking fingers in them now a days" she said obviously angry as everyone looked on surprised
"Wow you started something here my Man" Mike whispered to Sam
"And I don't need you to fucking run after me Sam, you choose to do that shit and basically it's getting fucking tired so, you know what this time it really is over" she said walking towards her girls
Sam's brain was working overtime 'Ok so she's got her mad out and now I can start rebuilding some of this shit, it's going to take some real truth but I'm going to do it or my name is not Sam fucking Evans' he thought as he watched Mercy seething "Ok, you need an audience yeah?" he asked her from the guys table making everyone turn to look at him "I didn't realise we were going to do this public but, if that's the way you want to do this so be it" he said standing up as Mercy's mouth dropped open for Sam's unexpected outburst "Yeah" he said opening his arms "I fucked 2 girls over the four years and except for the one you're fucking mad at me about I told you before I did anything with the other one, even negotiated dates, am I lying?" he asked
"What?" was whispered around the shop
"No" Mercy said looking round attempting to hide her shame
"I probably finger fucked about 2 girls but the alternative was fucking them and I hadn't spoken to you about it so I took the best option available to me at the time, we agreed I'd tell you beforehand anyone I was going to fuck yeah?"
"What the fuck" Puck said looking at Mike, who was shaking his head
"Yeah" she said surprising the girls as Rachel and Tina gasped
"So technically you're mad at me for not telling you something we never agreed I'd tell you in the first place?"
"Yeah"
"Dra..ma" Santana said looking at Brittany
"Nobody outside those 4, I told you about, touched me in any way other than kissing and every single damn touch was because I was thinking about you, you asked me to promise you I'd tell so I'll take the flack for that last bitch but none of the others and I'll never speak of them again, I told you because I love you, and I don't want any secrets in our life" he said taking a breath before asking "Do you believe me?
"Yes I do"
"Dude, gold" Jessie said looking for a fist bump but Sam was too in the zone to accommodate it
"So why the fuck are you coming up in my face talking about this fucking D whatever, making me want to slap the shit out of him? Did I give you permission to even do that!?" he shouted his last sentence, making everyone jump
"No!" Mercy almost screamed back at him
"So what the fuck was all that about?" he asked pointing to where she was standing when she said all that "You started this so I need more than yes and no answers Mercy I'm mad"
"You should have…" she started to say, as she got up, before Sam butted in
"I know I should have but I just wanted everything out no lies, deception, nothing I always want us to be real"
"So we sho…." Mercy said stepping towards him as she spoke, Sam didn't let her finish he grabbed her and pulled her into him, making everyone gasp at the force with which he did it, Mercy was obviously ready for it she flew into his arms as they kissed enough for four years, letting up only to look into each other's eyes for a second before going back in, time and time again
"Get a room" Quinn finally shouted making them laugh
"Drama couple" Santana laughed
"You two do realise this is the Lima Bean?" Tina asked
"Finish your drinks people and then to mine" Mercy announced when they finally stopped locking mouths "Theme is love" she said pouring the rest of Sam's drink down her throat "I mean our house" she whispered to him
Home
The others went to the Den as Sam went speeding round the house looking into everything, he was excited for Mercy she was apparently having her first album come out in maybe two month's and, he was going to blow that up to all his friend's around the world. She'd planned a drawing room for him just waiting for him to choose the equipment and the house had three good sized bedrooms "I Love this house Mercy" he said when he finally made his way to the den "Can I get first song?" he asked as Mercy turned on the system and took out the log of the extensive playlist for everyone to look at
"You had a band in England Sam?" Puck asked
"Yeah played everything JAMES did" he laughed "Josh, Andy, Matt, Elliott and Sam, took us ages to come up with the name" he laughed "But we were good and I do miss those guys already"
"Sing me one of your songs" Mercy asked
"It's got to have love in the title?" Sam asked
"Yeah"
"Ok" he said going to the rack to look as he found one he jumped before saying "love yeah?" as Mercy nodded "Ok Andy has the sweetest voice on this genre of tunes but I'm going to try I haven't got his accent or anything but I've got everything else" he laughed wiggling his eye brows at Mercy before he sung his version of 'Love Heart Attack' by Akon as everyone rocked to the song "Thank you for still loving me babe" he said hugging Mercy in when he finished
"That's my man, giving me some serious love, I love you like that too boo" she laughed as she hugged him back
"We have one" Artie said nodding for Blaine and Kurt to join him
"Is this a boy verses girl thing?" Brittany asked
"As always" Jessie shouted as the guys laughed
"Here goes" Blaine said as Kurt pressed play and they started singing 'If it ain't love' by Jason Derulo as everyone danced along having a real good time
"Keep it going" Mercy shouted when they took too long clapping the guy's song
"We're next" Quinn shouted as Santana and Brittany followed her
"Unholy Trinity yes, throwback slack day" Tina shouted clenching her fist and bringing it down to hit her lap as some refrained from laughing
"Here goes" Santana said not happy with Tina's joke as they started singing 'I want to love you' by Jade as everyone danced around doing some old school stuff and having fun acting out the music
"Us" Tina said grabbing Rachel and nodding for Sugar to go with her as she fanned through the music folder "Yes" she said jumping as she set up the track and they started singing 'I love you' by Celine Dion slowing stuff down, everyone was smooching with someone as Rachel and Tina took it in turns to sing and Sugar doo whopped in the background
"Ok" Puck butted in just before they finished
"Rude" Quinn said not very impressed with him
"You took too long" he laughed "We're next" he said as Mike and Jessie jumped up "We're going old school too" he said as the music started and they started singing Like I love you' by Justin Timberlake as the boys got into dance mode and the girls kicked their heels bringing the Tude
"You know I could make you happy, I could change your life" Mercy mouthed to Sam making him smile as they danced
"I just want to love you baby" he replied as they both laughed 'what was that look' he thought
"Wow let's get this party started" Artie shouted as they finished
"Ok I guess it's me" Mercy said walking over to the music
"It's been a while" Kurt confirmed as everyone shook their heads in agreement even Sam
"Sam this is for you" she said as the music started and she sang 'Vision of Love' by Mariah Carey as everyone stood in awe as they listened to her reaching her notes with ease
Wow Mercedes" Kurt said when she finished as everyone else just nodded, Sam went straight to her and hugged her
"You are amazing babe" he said
"Last one" Sam said as everyone rolled their eyes "Honest last one for Mercy" he laughed "this one's all me" he said as the music started and he sung his version of 'Like the woman I love' by Jason Mraz
"I loved that song Sam" Rachel piped up
A Long time ago, My, my sweet thing
I made a big mistake, honey, I say I said goodbye, Oh, oh baby
"You staying here with me tonight?" Mercy asked Sam
"Am I?" he replied shocked "What have you done with Mercy give her back to me" he said holding her around her waist from behind as she laughed
"We're grown ass adults now Sam"
"We need a conversation" he said pulling her away from the crowd and finding an empty room for them to sit in "Ok what's going on in that head of yours?" he asked once they settled on the empty art room floor
"In my head, we've spent all the time we're going to apart so now I'm in this committed relationship I want to commit" she said smiling "Fully that is" she added when Sam wasn't smiling too
"So tonight you want us to go all the way because you want to show commitment?" he asked for clarification
"Not just because of that, I love you and I know I'm going to for the rest of my life and what are we actually waiting for?"
"Truth; for you to say that" he laughed "And that's absolutely fine with me, it's the living together too thing that I need us to be ready for" he said sitting up more as excitement set in "I know we played at this a while back but I mean a house, bills, dog everything?" he asked "And I just filled out my first application form, I don't even have a permanent job to contribute, and…."
"Stop Sam" she said holding her hand up "Firstly, as well as me and my parents your parents put into this too" she said as Sam's eyes widened "Secondly, the bills for this first year are being paid by the label because of the way their paying me, monthly like" she smiled "Lastly, that gives you a year to get promoted to permanent or get another job if you really want to your resourceful you'll be more than established by then" she said grabbing his face and kissing him "So calm down" making him smile "And if everything else fails we have a fall back plan; parents" she added as they both laughed
"On a serious note babe I didn't bring any protection I didn't expect this I'm sorry" he said
"That's fine I'll make do with the baby" she said as Sam started bugging out "Sam; I'm joking I have some condoms" she laughed holding his ready to wonder hands down as he breathed out heavily making him laugh too
"I know you still got shit you want to know, so get it out, I don't want to be in the middle of things answering your questions" he laughed
"You know me too well" she said laughing too "Ok" she said suddenly getting serious, Sam was already serious for this no bullshit session he was about to have "Names?" she asked
"Random, Random, Random and Random" he replied
"Sam!" she shouted touching his lips with her finger as she said it "Don't to that"
"Ok; Kendell, Jenny, Keisha and Jodice" he said looking at his hands the whole time, looking up only when Mercy didn't comment, waiting for the blow
"Ok did you feel anything for them and I mean the slightest thing?"
"I felt something, I couldn't have performed otherwise, I guess parts of them reminded me of you, but no nothing meaningful most of it was gratification like we discussed and I didn't care enough about them to make sure they enjoyed it" he looked at her saying "I keep telling you but, you don't listen to me, I have no more space in my heart for anyone else but you"
"I know and this is the last one, never to be talked about again" she announced standing up "Do I still love you with all my heart?" she asked
"Hand on heart, yes with every bit of it, I believe you do" he smiled
"You planned all this didn't you Evan's? Even down to the performance I put on in the café, from the second University finished your minds been in get Mercedes Jones back mode, I'm right aren't I?" she asked
"Mercy" he said laughing "You said the last one was the last question"
"It was about other girls, this is me and you now, you did didn't you?" she asked again
"I don't know why after all these years I still can't lie to you" he said rubbing the back of his neck "I started planning our back together the day I agreed to go to that damn University, the guys think I slept around like crazy and I made them think that to be cool, but I talked to girls a lot about you mainly and well, they thought I was cute and loyal and stuff and played my game with the guys" he smiled "Don't get me wrong I can be a dog, but I want to be a dog for you and I want you to be my.."
"Bitch, you want me to be your bitch?"
"Stop that shit right there, I was going to say wife one day"
"Come on let's get back to the guys" she said changing the mood, grabbing Sam's face for a kiss as she held his hand and walked back to the den
"Samcedes house good?" Quinn asked as they walked in
"Very" Sam replied
"What happened to the singing" Mercy asked "Let's change the theme singing groups" she laughed
"Maybe one from you two we've had our fill" Rachel replied
"So crew we've had our four years of study and things, everyone has what they said they needed to get on in life, where are we now?" Puck asked
"We're going back to New York ready for Broadway" Rachel shouted for Jessie and her
"We've decided to stay there too" Blaine said "Marriage on the cards next" he said rubbing his hands together
"I've started my second book so that's going to keep me going for a while and he's got another 2 years in the Force" Quinn said pointing at Puck
"Britt's job is sort of sending us to Miami for a while so I guess that's where we'll be for a few years" Santana said
"We haven't spoken about it yet but this is base for us I hope" Sam said looking around the Den "But for a while base might be LA and that's fine but I intend eventually that the dust will settle around us here I'm optimistic" he smiled at Mercy
"Mike's already started looking at premises for his studio in Nebraska so we'll be maybe a day away" Tina announced
"We already discussed it because Artie has a B film to do up in Massachusetts, we won't be far from you guys" Sugar said pointing at Rachel, Jessie, Kurt and Blaine
"So Sam, Mercy you're not getting out of it the closing song please" Quinn said again
"Ok" Mercy said smiling at Sam as he went to choose a song and came back with his guitar strumming their song making Mercy smile "This is for us because we are" she said to everyone as she started singing their rendition of 'Incredible' by Celine Dion & Ne-Yo they were singing finally about the night they were about to have for real
"Guy's lets go make our mark on the world" Sam announced
I long for you (Oh, baby) every, every night, Woo, just to kiss your sweet, sweet lips,
Baby, (Kiss your sweet lips) Hold you ever, ever so tight, (And I wanna say) And I wanna say
"Goodnight" they finally said to everyone as they stood in their den the last ones to leave, Mercy turned to smile at Sam saying come on without words as he grabbed her hand and made for the stairs, they got to the door and stood looking at it for a short while
"We're going to be different when we come out of here tomorrow" he said grabbing Mercy's two hands "Are you sure you're ready for this?" he asked
"Positive" she smiled back at him going in for a kiss as he opened the door walked her in still kissing and locked it behind them
"I got one song for you" Sam said going to the pod to put his phone in it and pressing play before going back to Mercy "just relax babe, I'm not going to do anything you don't want me to" he assured her before taking her to the bathroom running a bath and getting in with her "Relax" he said pulling her into him and they lay there for a while as 'I love you more than life itself' by Chris Brown played on his Pod on repeat "Mercy do you know how much you mean to me?" he asked as he stroked her hair and periodically touched her in places he hadn't touched for nearly 5 years but, the feeling was pleasantly familiar to him.
"I know how much you mean to me" she said turning to look at him
"Don't ask, because I'm not going to answer, I told you, that was the end of that and you had your last question" he smiled saying
"I just hate the way you know me" she tapped him playfully smiling
"Seriously I'd die for you" he said kissing her on her forehead
"And I live for you" she replied as she closed her eyes for his kiss "Can we go to bed now?" she asked
"We must" he smiled a he got up and led her out of the bathroom preparing his mind to make love to the love of his life
"I feel nervous" he laughed "I don't know why but I am"
"I'm glad you said that because I feel the same, is that normal?"
"It is our first time actually going all the way so I guess we would be, come on then let's get this party started" he said jumping on the bed
She went over to the bed and he held out his hand for her to join him and she took it.
"Can I kiss you?"
"You don't have to ask me that"
"Can I?"
"Yes"
He kissed her with small scattered kisses first and all over her face and neck, when he reached her chin he bit it softly and she came down to meet his lips. He kissed her harder for a short while before leaving her lips alone while he paid attention to her body, licking, flicking and sucking until she started to move to the rhythm. He moved to the other side of her body doing the same to each part, Mercy moving and moaning in reaction to his touch.
She started reciprocating his touches as her urgency grew "Sam please touch me" she gasped
"What do you want me to do?"
"Touch me"
"Touch you where?" he asked
"Sam don't tease it's not nice" he laughed at her interpretation of his love making
He went about preparing her for their ultimate pairing "Sam I'm going to…" she got out before suddenly he was no longer connecting with her. "What?" she looked at him asking
"You're ready Babe I need to try now"
"Already, do you think?" she said nerves setting in
"Yes Mercy you're ready, just relax" he said as he moved in the bed to get to the dresser for the condoms, to look back and see her crying
"Babe don't cry, we don't have to do this tonight if you don't want to we can just hold each other and maybe try again when we feel ready" he suggested.
"I'm not upset about it, I'm overwhelmed I think I want this so much I'm scared I'm not going to meet your expectations and you're going to fall out of love with me and you'll find a new more experienced girl and…"
"Stop, I don't know what I have to do to make you understand that I want to be with you if it was just sex I'd have been off years ago, babe I love you, do yo believe me?"
"There isn't much I do believe in but I believe that"
"Then trust me after this first time we'll enjoy forever together"
She leaned in to give him a kiss that lingered and deepened, he quickly felt the mood return as his hands wondered all over her body.
"Sam, I need you please"
He put on his condom and made ready to deflower his woman, "This may hurt at first but I'll stay still until you tell me to move and then I'll carry on Ok?" he asked as she nodded her response too nervous to talk "Relax babe" He began slowly, watching her face as it went seeing her initially frightened, then surprised and now questioning, as he tried to read her feelings through her face she suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him
"I love you Sam"
"I love you more Mercy" he replied as he carrying on "You're so tense, relax"
"I'm trying" she said "oohh Sam that hurt I felt something pop" she said sounding scared
"That was it Mercy your virginity being taken away by your soon to be husband" he didn't move for a while they just stayed still looked into each other's eyes for a while "Hey are you alright" he finally said as she had tears in her eyes looking at him on top of her "Am I hurting you babe" he said lifting up off her but she pulled him back towards her
"No babe it's just so beautiful it's everything I dreamt and more, I feel so loved right now I can't say"
"Babe we haven't started yet I've just about got past your hymen once your settled with me we can start enjoying this more" he said as he eased himself into her until he was settled "Tell me when you feel good enough to move" he said
"I'm good, show me what to do" she announced, as he went about doing just that "Like this?" she asked following his instructions
"Yeah that feels good" He said his rhythm getting faster
She moaned as their thrusts became more urgent and he knew he wouldn't last too long at her pace. He sat up on his knees so he had a full view of himself slamming in and out of her core he wet his thumb and started stimulating her now hard button, making her move faster and moan louder.
"Mercy I'm close" he said still stimulating her as he felt her walls tighten and she was pumping hard on him "Yes that's it, let it happen for me Babe" he said as the last word left his mouth
"Sam" he heard and felt her spurting over his fingers, and her walls closing around him as he felt himself reaching his peak as his back stiffened as he let out a gasp
Shouting "Mercy" as he released
"Fucking hell Sam that was fantastic"
"Fantastic it was fucking Mind blowing Mercy" he said as they fell into each other's arms laying quietly after removing the condom for about 5 minutes before Mercedes said
"I think I have a new favourite pastime, again please"
"You're the first and only virgin I'm ever going to be with, that was such a buzz babe and to think we've got this on tap for the rest of our lives now that's fucking mind blowing" he said rolling back over to respond to her request "I aim to please" he said as he placed Mercy underneath him, he grabbing another condom ready to go again.
They fell asleep at around 6.30 a.m. after a marathon night followed by a long hot bath.
"Morning" Sam said when Mercy finally woke up to him staring down at her "This is the day babe"
"Yeah babe it's the day" a sleepy Mercy replied "For what?" she asked
"That you sang about"
"When did I sing about for today?" she asked sitting up in bed to look at him
"Someday we'll be together" he sang making her laugh "Your love is mine, baby Oh, right from the stars (Oo, oo, oo) I, I, I possess your soul now honey and I know, I know you own my heart and I wanna say" he sang pointing to Mercy for the last line
"From today we are together" she sang as they both laughed hugging.
The End
