A/N: I really didn't want to introduce any new characters but I felt it was needed to make this progression..
Song: Boo'd Up- Ella Mai
Sam's date was tall and slender with sleek blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes. She was a Senior VP at their company and seemed very intelligent. He had decided on taking her to dinner then out for drinks after so not to put too much pressure on for a first date. They made small talk on the drive over to the restaurant and he learned she was the only female in her department, she had a small family and was from a small town like him. He liked that about her, she understood the need to have some form of simplicity in life. The more he talked to her the more he felt his self become comfortable with her.
"So, what made you ask me out?" His date, Quinn asked.
"You always seemed so kind when we would speak and you have a beautiful smile." He replied smiling.
"Thank you, you have very gorgeous green eyes. The shirt was a good choice, it makes them pop." He couldn't help but chuckle and he said a mental thank you to Mercedes. He must have been making a face because Quinn was looking at him slightly confused.
"I'm sorry, my friend actually made me change into this." He admitted. The waiter appeared and asked for their drink selections, he ordered a beer and she order red wine.
"He must be some friend.' She replied with a giggle, after the waiter left.
"Shh- sure is." Sam stopped his self from correcting her and making it awkward that a female friend helped him get dressed for his date.
"He wears some sweet cologne, that's for sure." Sam eyes widen at Quinn's statement. He immediately thought about the brief "almost" encounter with Mercedes. His eyes still on Quinn before looking down at his shirt. He had gotten so used to the sweet smell that he didn't think anything of it, let alone that Quinn had noticed it.
"Oh… I didn't even notice." He replied honestly. The waiter brought their drinks and ask if they were ready to order and for some reason Sam lied and said he needed another minute, he had looked over the menu five times and couldn't decide on anything his mind kept wondering. He took a long sip of his drink in hopes to calm his mind. No such luck. Why had he asked her on this date truly? Did he think it would make it easier to resist her? Why did he find his self only thinking about Mercedes? He had a beautiful woman sitting in front of him and his mind wandered off to another.
"How could you not? It's very invigorating, smells like lilacs and honey." She said bringing Sam out of his head.
"Umm… can you excuse me for a second?" Sam asked standing, Quinn nodded and he head towards the restroom. Once he made it he went into the nearest stall and took out his phone and saw a message waiting from Mercedes.
Don't over think it! -M
Mercy? -S
Dude! You can't be texting me in the middle of your date, super rude. -M
I-i know, just nerves I guess… -S
Please tell me you're sitting in the bathroom!-M
She knew him too well, he laughed quietly before replying.
Ummm… no… ;) -S
OMFG! Get out and go back to your date. You can do this Sammy! -M
… Mercy? -S
I'll be home editing when you get back, we can talk then. You date is waiting, now go be the little charmer I know you can be! Don't reply back! -M
Sam laughed and shook his head, standing up and walking to the sink to wash his hands. He felt better now he could finish his date and try to enjoy it. When Sam returned to the table he noticed Quinn's absence and a small paper on his side.
Sam,
I know a woman's scent when I smell it. This was nice effort but I think we are better off as colleagues.
-Q
Sam sat there completely dumbfounded and relieved at the same time. He called the waiter over and asked for the check for their drinks, paid and left.
Meet me at Firefly -S
Editing, remember? -M
It's time for a break. I need a drink… -S
Fine. -M
When Sam arrived he looked around before spotting Mercedes at their usual booth. He waved as he headed over. Firefly was busy with lots of young adults some at the bar ordering drinks, some dancing on the dance floor and some in booths making love connections. Sam slid into the booth, thankful that Mercedes had already ordered him Jack Daniels and a beer. She smiled as he sat down, he could tell she was eager to hear about his date.
"Soooo?" She said finally while dancing in her seat to the music.
"There isn't much to tell, she bailed..." Sam replied running his hands through his hair and sliding the note Quinn left to Mercedes. He watched her face as she read what it said and he could tell she felt responsible.
"Oh Sammy, I'm sorry, I didn't know." She finally spoke rubbing my hand.
"Eh, it's okay. If she can get upset over something that small, maybe she did me a favor." Sam replied smiling, enjoying her hand on his.
"I guess?" She said shrugging her shoulders. She took another sip of her drink before looking back at him with an emphatic smile. They let the music take over their conversation for a while just enjoying each other company. Mercedes heard her favorite song come on and couldn't resist getting up to dance. She started to sway her hips and sing along to the words.
Feelings, so deep in my feelings
No, this ain't really like me
Can't control my anxiety
Feeling, like I'm touching the ceiling
When I'm with you I can't breathe
Boy, you do something to me
She allowed the words to move throughout her body and didn't care who was watching. She continued to dance to the beat, when she looked back she saw Sam watching her intently.
Ooh, now I'll never get over you until I find something new
That get me high like you do, yeah yeah
Ooh, now I'll never get over you until I find something new
That get me high like you do
So she decided to have some fun and started dancing a little more sexier and made direct eye contact with him. Sam shifted in his seat as he watch Mercedes' body move seductively. She ran her hands up her thighs, then slowed as she reached her hips and progressed to her waist his eyes found hers and he realized she was looking directly at him. A sexy smirk crossed her lip and she knew she had him right where she wanted him. She really enjoyed teasing Sam to the point that all he could do was blush. As her favorite verse came up, she started to move closer to him and winked at him and sung out loud so he could hear her.
Listen my to heart go ba-dum, boo'd up
Biddy-da-dum, boo'd up
Hear my heart go ba-dum, boo'd up
Biddy-da-dum it just won't stop, it go
Ba-dum, boo'd up
Biddy-da-dum, boo'd up
Hear my heart go ba-dum, boo'd up
Biddy-da-dum, it just won't stop, it go
Always the tease, Sam decided to take advantage of the situation and waited for the perfect time to pounce. When Mercedes turned away from he quickly got up and closed the distance between them. He got behind her and matched her moves with his own, feeling her jump at his presence he grabbed her waist and pulled her into him.
"You started this." he whispered.
How many ways can I say that I need you baby, it's true
I think I might die without you
Feeling all over my body
You know how I like it
Ain't gotta tell you what to do, yeah yeah
Mercedes tried to turn around to break the embrace but Sam's grip was strong and she would be lying if she pretended she didn't like the feel of his body so close to hers. His firm body felt so good against hers, their moves began to go blend her hips gyrated and her ass ground against him. She could feel him, his hardness it made her moan. She was happy the music was loud otherwise he would've heard her, she bit her lip when his hands ran over hips and slowly back up again.
Head over heels in love
Right in front of you, ain't gotta look no more baby (hah)
I wanna build this love
And everything you want, you ain't gotta ask for
You got me boo'd up, boo'd up
Told you from the jump I'm the one to choose
Got me boo'd up, boo'd up
Grab me by the waist baby, pull me closer
Mercedes finally able to wiggle her way from his grip turned around and wrapped her hands around his neck and continued to sway with Sam. Their eyes were locked on each other and the music began to fade to silence until it was just them on large dance floor. Sam's green eyes were a darker shade, they were locked on hers until they began to fall to her lips. She smirked and pulled him closer to her only allow their lips to lightly dance, teasing him with gentle pecks never allowing him to get a full grasp of her lips. She remember past attempts to get Sam to even get this close was unsuccessful, she wanted to last as long as she could.
Listen my to heart go ba-dum, boo'd up
Biddy-da-dum, boo'd up
Hear my heart go ba-dum, boo'd up
Biddy-da-dum it just won't stop, it go
Ba-dum, boo'd up
Biddy-da-dum, boo'd up
Hear my heart go ba-dum, boo'd up
Biddy-da-dum, it just won't stop, it go
This is such a crazy feeling, like
I don't want to get too attached, but
I feel like I already am
My mind's telling me one thing, but
I guess I should listen to my heart
Right?
Sam knew Mercedes was teasing him and it was driving him crazy. He wanted so badly to fully kiss her soft lips. The feathery pecks were only making him hungrier for the real thing. He let her have her way for a little while longer before pulling away and grabbing her hand. He needed to get her somewhere less crowded, he was getting his kiss tonight. Mercedes smiled as Sam basically dragged her from the dance floor and out of Firefly.\
