Let Me Love You Setting: Season 3, Samcedes has not happened yet, but Samcedes have been best friends since Sam moved to Lima in fourth grade. Mercedes is currently dating Shane (ewww), it's a very emotionally abusive relationship. She's been in love with Sam for as long as she could remember, but never told him because she thought she was not his type. However, Sam is just as in love with Mercedes, but he felt friendzone. Now, it's their senior year, Sam very adamant in making Mercedes his and saving her from her toxic relationship. Now, it's the night after sectionals, and Mercedes can finally stop acting like she's oblivious to Sam's pursuit.
"He doesn't care about you Cedes," Mercedes starts fiddling with her hands.
"A-an-and you do?" she stutters, as she avoids looking Sam in the eyes.
"Yes." Sam whispers, taking a step closer to her to slightly tug on the loose curl hanging out of her messy bun. A smirk was playing on his face when he heard her giggle, Sam loved making her react this way.
"I can love you better than him. You deserve better. You deserve to be loved. I can do that physically and emotionally"
Mercedes' eyes widened, her breath caught in her throat. She knew how much Sam wanted to make love to her, the only thing in my way was Shane. "S-Sammy,l,l-."She stutters out.
"Let me show you, Cedes" as Sam lays a hand to cup the side of her cheek.
"No, Sam I can't. I'm not that type of girl you know that. I l-love Shane..., I do and times it gets hard but that's relationships...we're just trying to work things out" Mercedes pushes him off and continues to ramble.
Sam couldn't understand why she was lying to him, Shane treated her like trash, he only shows her attention when there's a crowd or when Sam can see them because he only sees her as a trophy wife.
"You deserve to be treated like a queen and he treats you like trash."Sam started to get annoyed and could tell she was too.
"How do you know how he treats me Samuel?" Sam couldn't help but laugh which caused Mercedes to roll her eyes and she started to walk away from quickly went to grab her before she made it too far. She refuses to look at him and makes sure to keep space between them.
"Other than me being your best friend for 8 years, you tell me all about his fucked ups. Everyone knows Cedes, he's an asshole, not even your family can stand him. What happened to the girl whose smile alone lit up any room she walks in? The girl who knows she was beautiful inside and out and never needs a man's reassurance. You don't deserve this, Doll"
Mercedes looks at Sam with tears streaming down her face. "Doll, Please don't cry." He whispers as he slowly wraps his arms around her waist pulling her closer, kissing her on top of her head as she lays her head on the side of his neck breathing in his heavenly scent.
"I know he's an asshole, Sammy. He's not my first choice in who I want to be with. But-".
"But what? Why stay with him when you deserve someone who can give you all the love and respect you deserve. Are you still pretending to be oblivious of my feelings for you Cedes ?"Sam knew she heard the slight crack in his voice. Sam would give up anything to have her.
Mercedes lifts her head from his neck and starts to stand on her tippy toes to look him in the eyes. "No Sammy, I've known this whole time."
"Then why do you keep playing these games in letting me suffer and give us a chance again."
Everyone from our families to our friends to our classmates and the whole damn town knew about Sam's feelings and how Mercedes seemed to just play it off as their relationship as "super close best friends". Yeah, "super close best friends" that were each other's first kiss by the lake when they were 9. "Super close best friends" who were each other's first relationship at age 13 until Sam had to move back to Nashville once his Mamaw got sick, the summer before their sophomore year of high school.
His biggest regret was letting her go then, thinking it was best for them to just stay best friends because they didn't know if he would come back to Lima.
"Please tell me the truth Doll, what are you afraid of? "
"I-i'm sorry Sammy, I-I" She stutters.
"You what Mercedes".
"Kiss me.."
