A/N: Sorry it's taken me so long to get back. I am going to make it up you the next chapter will be a flashback and It will be up VERY VERY soon!

Monday

Sam had busy day ahead of him at the office and it was also going to be the first time seeing Quinn after there… almost date. He arrived early as usual and was surprised that there were a few others there as well. He's normally the only one there that early, he said hello to everyone he passed before reaching his office. It wasn't anything spectacular just a cozy office with a skewed view of the skyline. He hadn't decorated it just a few framed achievements and a picture of his family. He had a ton of emails waiting for him and knew if he started now he would be hopefully be done by five. He also knew he'd need to send an email to Jen to set up a meet up so they could talk. He couldn't help but think about Mercedes and her lips, he had been thinking about them since that night when he finally got to kiss her. The feel of her soft lips on his, the taste of her tongue and how amazing her body felt against his, he could feel his self getting excited and knew if he didn't get those thought out of his he would be at full attention. He quickly busied himself with the work in front of him and started sending and responding to emails, drafting new contracts and readying his self for the weekly staff meeting.

You look cute when you're focusing -M

What? How can you see me? -S

Sam looked up from his computer and out his glass door not seeing Mercedes anywhere and wondering how she could see him.

Where are you? -S

He heard a knock on his door and saw her standing there smiling beautifully, he waved her in and walked over to her. She looked gorgeous in her white blouse and dark jeans that hugged her hips wonderfully, her hair was in a simple ponytail with a few curly strands tapering her face. His eyes locked on her face looking at her features and how beautiful she looked without any make up on.

"What are you doing here?" Sam asked pulling her into a hug. She smiled and hugged him back, letting it linger a little before pulling away.

"I was meeting with my bride and groom, doing a final venue walk through before their wedding Friday. Thought I'd stop by and see if you wanted lunch." She said holding up a food bag and drinks. Sam hadn't even realize that it was past one and he hadn't eaten.

"Oh really? Trying to get that date in a little early are we?"

"I mean if it's that big of an issue, I can take these burgers home." She replied taking a step back smiling. That damn smile did something to him and before he knew he took the bag and drinks out her hand and sat them down. Pulling her into him and kissing her with so much force and hunger, Mercedes put her arms around him accepting his lips on hers as a soft moan came out when he pushed her against his desk. He licked her lips begging for entrance so he could taste her more and she allowed his tongue to dance with hers. His hands moved from her waist and began unbuttoning her blouse and exposing her lace covered breast. He moved the fabric from her shoulder and started trailing kissing from her lips to her chin, down her neck nipping at her collar bone. Mercedes arched her back as her breathing increased and moans began flowing out her from the sensation his lips were giving. Sam lips started traveling to her breast before he heard his assistant's voice, interrupting his actions and forcing him back to reality.

"Mr. Evan's, you have a call on line one." She said into the speak of his phone.

"Shit." He said and reluctantly pulled away from Mercedes giving her a small smile before grabbing the phone.

"This is Sam." He said looking at her button her shirt back up and slide off his desk. He looked past her and saw his assistant and few other associates looking at him before quickly scattering. He seriously just did that in his office and apparently had an audience without even realizing it. He immediately looked at Mercedes to see if she noticed, she had grabbed the food off the table and spread it out. She seemed completely unphased by what Sam saw. Once his call ended he walked over to where she was sitting.

"I'm so sorry about that Mercy. I wasn't thinking about the door..." He said sitting next to her waiting for her response. When she didn't say anything he began to worry she was upset about what happened.

"Merce, I won't lose control like that again." He added before she started laughing loudly. He was caught off guard by her sudden burst of laughter but couldn't help but to join in with her.

"I really hope they got a good show." She said finally speaking still laughing. She looked at Sam and leaned over and kissed him.

"So you're not upset?" He asked smiling.

"I have no reason to be, but it can't happen again… at least not here." She said nudging him.

"So, want to have lunch now? It's not hot but it's still warm." She added doing a little dance. Sam nodded and enjoyed his lunch with Mercedes. He asked about the wedding she was shooting and if it was okay for him to be tagging along. She told him he would be her "assistant" so it would be fine. They talked more about small things before she had to head back home to get a little work done. They stood and stared at each other for a while, there was a comfortable sexual tension between them,

"Will I see you later?" Sam asked wrapping his arms around her waist.

"That is entirely up to you. I will be editing and sending some final emails for the rest of the day so I can't say I won't enjoy the distraction."

"I'll bring you some dinner and maybe a little dessert." He replied pulling her chin to him to kiss her.

"Hmm. Don't press your luck Evans. She said kissing him back and heading towards his door before she stopped at him smacking her ass. She looked over her shoulder and gave a sexy smirk shaking her ass and then walking out.

Mercedes was still on a high from her lunch with Sam and she was excited to find out what exactly he meant by dessert. She was happy to be home but also dreading the work that was demanding her attention, she quickly changed into a tank top and some shorts to be more comfortable because she knew she had long afternoon ahead of her. She turned on some music and decided to start with the emails first which wouldn't take too long. She had several new inquiries and got really excited. Once she finished those she started editing and got so deep into that he hadn't heard the knocking at her door. She looked at the time a realized it couldn't be Sam plus he had a key so there was no reason for him to keep knocking. She went over and opened the door and immediately began to close it.

"Cedes baby, long time. Mmm… I see you're still looking good as ever, too bad we never got a chance to explore that part of our relationship."

"Tank, what the hell are you doing here?" She said through gritted teeth. Tank of all people would be here to ruin her high from earlier.

"I was seeing my boy, you know the dude you left high and dry?"

"I didn't leave him anything! Look, I really don't have time for this okay? Now, please move your foot so I can close my door."

"Oh come on baby, give Tank a chance. You know you wanted to in college, and I can tell you still do now." He said with a sexy grin. Tank was very handsome, too handsome for his own good. He was tall and huge mass of a man, he towered over Mercedes and had a smile that could make panties melt. She couldn't deny it, he was very sexy.

"First of all, don't call me baby. Secondly, we never had any form of relationship for me to want to do anything with you and lastly I'm not interested."

"Bullshit, your words my not be but you're body's betraying you baby girl. I know its not that cold out here, so them hard nipples you got excited about something." He said running his thumb across her nipple making her move away from the door. He took the opportunity to invite himself in and closed the door behind him.

"So, how about you let Tank do that fro you?"

"Do what exactly? Why are you really here?"

"You know what. I told you I was in town seeing Shane."

"Did he send you over here?"

"Yes and no. I asked about you and his luck on winning you back and when he told about your little… encounter. I decided I should help him out a little."

"That bitch. So what? You came to explain his side of things or tell me some bullshit lie about how "he wasn't loving you right and I can do this or that." I don't know what you came here looking for but whatever it is, it's not here. Now get the hell out of my apartment." Mercedes said walking over to the door. Tank gave her a look then began unbuttoning his shirt as he walked over to her, Mercedes eyes fell on his toned body slowly being revealed and bit her lip. She needed him gone, she wasn't about to let anything happen with him. He was standing in front of her smiling and leaned down cupping her face and tracing the outline of her lips. She expected to feel some sort of rush or tingling but there wasn't anything. She couldn't help but laugh and push him away from her.

"This was entertaining but you need to leave, there's nothing here for you and if I'm being honest your whole act is tired." She said opening her door and waving her hand for him to leave.

"Look, I'm not going to keep taking too lightly to you acting this way with me. I let it slide once and-" Tank started before Mercedes interrupted.

"And what? You don't own me Tank. You and I were never EVER anything, you was just Shane's friend that thought he could run game on me while I was dating him. I told you then like I'm telling you now. I. AM. NOT. FUCKING. INTERESTED. Now get out of my house." She replied putting her hand on her hip and pointing to the door.

"You will regret this. This ain't over."

"Oh it's over and done with." She said slamming the door in his face. Mercedes let out the breath she had been holding in and slid down the door. She hadn't seen Tank since that night and now all of it was coming back to her.

Stay tuned is all I'm going to say because its about to get really muddy!
