No Need To Run

Anthony sat quietly thinking about what all had happened today. Everything he had worked so hard for was gone down the drain. As he thought more about it he convinced himself that it was all Brittney's fault. He was living his life in Lima, not even thinking about that bitch Mercedes and then she had to call. Taunting him about how Mercedes was living the high life and making fun of him with her friends. The rage he had felt at hearing her words had sent him into a whole new level of hate for Mercedes. He had to teach her a lesson.

Looking around he realized that that the lesson didn't turn out the way he planned. Here he was in cuffed in an interrogation room being charged with kidnapping, assault, procession of a weapon and God know what else. Feeling his anger rise again when he thought of how Mercedes had literally beat his ass made him squirm with shame. She wasn't the woman he had known. Now she was an uppity bitch just because she was being fucked by that white boy. But in the end he knew she would come back running to him. She was just an experiment for Sam Evans, soon he would toss her to the side and he would get the chance to tell her I told you so as he made her beg and grovel to get him to take her back.

"Mr. Rashad, your lawyer is here."

Anthony looked up as a middle aged white male walking the room with a briefcase. They looked at each other before the man took a seat across the table from him. When the officer left the room the man introduced himself.

"Mr. Rashad my name is Henry Conrad, I'm a court appointed lawyer, but if you have someone you would rather represent you please let me know and I will get in touch with them and continue to represent you until they can come and meet with you."

Anthony knew he was going to do some time, how much depended on what he had to tell them. He was willing to make a deal, to make sure he didn't go down by himself. That blond bitch was going down too, he smiled at the thought.

"No Mr. Conrad, I don't have a lawyer here and I would like for you to represent me. Please call me Anthony."

"Alright Anthony and you may call me Henry. Now why don't you tell me your side of the story? Don't leave anything out. We need to see if we can get these charges dropped or at least reduced."

Anthony gave a bitter laugh, "Henry, as much as I hate to admit this I am guilty of everything they have accused me of. But what they don't know is that I'm not in this alone."

Henry frowned at Anthony's words, "Let's not be hasty Anthony. No need to offer yourself up as a sacrificial goat. You say there is another person involved? Do you have proof? Tell me everything starting from the beginning."

"First I need you to get me my cell phone. My proof is on it. Then I will tell you everything."

When the officer entered the room with the phone, Henry signed for it, and Anthony began to talk. For the next few hours they talked and argued about how to proceed. Henry wanted to take it to a jury but Anthony wanted to make a deal with the DA. He knew that if it went to jury he could get a worse sentence and Henry reluctantly agreed with him. Finally they came to an agreement.

With the detectives videotaping and recording everything that was said in the room Anthony told them everything, after listening to his story and listening to his phone calls to Brittney as well as reading the texts the detectives agreed to speak with the DA to see if he would be willing to give him a deal for his testimony against Brittney.

An hour later the ADA came in and talked to them. Listening to the calls and reading the texts himself, he agreed to a deal of five years flat time. He warned Anthony that if he tried to back out or lied about anything then the deal was off and he would press ahead to make sure he received the maximum sentence.

Anthony didn't care for the threat but he knew he had no choice. Taking the pen and paper the detectives handed him he wrote out his confession. As he signed his name he smiled, that bitch Brittney was in for a surprise.

The detectives left the room with grim faces; it was time to go pay Ms. Brittney S. Pierce a visit.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Brittney looked around as the police officer led her through the maze of desks and people. Never did she think she would be in a place like this. Just stay calm, this is just a minor hitch in my plans, she thought to herself. The officer opened a door to a room and told her to take a seat and a detective would be with her soon.

Looking around the room she flinched when she heard the officer lock the door. What went wrong? Did that fool screw up? He had nothing on her, all she had to do was act like she knew nothing and she would be home soon. Feeling better she took a seat waiting for the detective.

Detectives Ryan's and Hall entered the room to see a tall slender blond sitting at the table with a haughty expression on her face. Trading glances they each took a seat at the table, placing a recorder and making sure the video camera was focused on the three of them at the table.

"Hello Miss Pierce, my name is Detective Ryan's and this is Detective Hall. We have some questions to ask you but first we need to read you your rights. I also want to let you know that everything is being videotaped as well as recorded."

Detective Hall proceeded to read her rights to her, asking if she understood them. At Brittney's answer of yes he then asked if she wanted a lawyer.

Brittney stared at them for a minute; she thought of asking for Quinn but knew that wouldn't be a smart move. She didn't really know who to call so she asked for a court appointed lawyer. She would get her own once she knew exactly what was going on, her parents would be happy to help her. After all she did nothing wrong.

Later as the door opened Brittney saw a middle aged woman enter. "Hello, my name is Liza Conner and I'm your court appointed lawyer. Before the detectives come back in would you like to tell me your side of the story?"

"I didn't do anything wrong and I don't know why they have me here." Brittney glared at her lawyer. "Nobody told me anything so I can't tell you anything."

Liza looked at the young woman in front of her; taking a deep breath she explained everything to her and the probable charges against her.

Brittney jumped up, "What? I'm here because some deranged person kidnapped a woman I only slightly know and they are saying I had something to do with it? You have got to be kidding me! I'm here because some fool lied on me? There is no proof and I want to leave now! I have no reason to defend myself. Get the detectives in here so I can clear this up and go home."

The detectives entered the room, reminding Brittney again of her rights and that everything was being videotaped and recorded. Brittney only sneered at them, they had nothing on her.

Three hours later Brittney sat there stunned and ready to piss her pants. Who knew that fool Anthony was smart enough to record all their conversations. She thought of Artie, he traced her calls to Anthony, he also found out about her talking to that fool in Human Resources and the information she sweet talked out of him. Oh God, she hadn't worn gloves when she got the gun from Quinn and they had the book she had taken it from and they were going to check it for prints. She looked at her hands, knowing that they would find her prints. Tears welled in her eyes; she couldn't talk her way out of this. Looking over at her lawyer she knew by the expression on her face that she was going to do some time. Anthony had made a deal to testify against her, she was truly fucked; this wasn't how her life was supposed to go. Feeling the tears fall she watched as the detectives walked out the room as she stood, feeling the handcuffs being snapped on her wrists.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sam paced back and forth waiting for the detective to let him know if he would have a chance to talk to Brittney. He couldn't wrap his head around the fact that he dated her, let that crazy ass bitch around his family. Talk about a major fuck up! Sam rubbed the back of his neck; he almost lost Mercedes because of her and her obsession with him. A part of him felt guilty because he only dated her to make Mercedes mad. Well that sure bit him in the ass!

"Mr. Evans you can have a few minutes with her but an officer will be in the room."

Sam nodded and thanked the detective. What he had to say to her wouldn't take long.

Brittney looked up as the door opened, her eyes widen, Sam had come to see her; he was there to rescue her. She smiled knowing that everything would be okay now.

Sam glared at the woman sitting at the table grinning at him like she had won a damn lottery. As he moved closer he had to clench his fist to keep from choking the hell out of her. He had never put his hands on a woman, didn't believe in it, but she could be his exception.

Sitting across from her he leaned in towards her. Seeing her about to speak he cut her off. "DON'T. SAY. ONE. FUCKING. THING." His voice was low, hard and harsh as he ground out each word. "Listen to me and don't say a damn thing. You almost cost me the woman I love. For that I. WILL. SEE. YOU. IN. HELL, for bringing that abusive asshole back into her life, I. WILL. SEE. YOU. IN. HELL. When you get out of the hell hole they throw your insane ass in, you need to know a few things. If Mercedes stumps her toe, I will come after you. If she gets a fucking headache I will come after you. If you fucking breathe the same air as her, I will come after you. Know this bitch, you come near my family I will kill you and they will never find your damn body. This isn't a threat or a promise, it's a fucking fact."

Standing up Sam nodded to the officer standing across the room, shooting Brittney one more glare, he turned stopping at the door without turning his head Sam spoke, "Remember our little talk."

Brittney sat there stunned; she knew he meant every word he had said.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Anthony sat in his cell, staring at the wall. He was going to do five years in the state prison. He shuddered at the thought. If anyone had told him a few months ago he would be sitting here facing time he would have laughed in their face. This wasn't his fault; it was because of those bitches, Mercedes and Brittney. He still couldn't believe how Mercedes beat his ass. There were still bruises and his body ached. He hated that bitch; she thought she was all high and mighty because she was with Sam Evans. Thinking of Sam he gritted his teeth, he hated him with a passion but he knew there was nothing he could do; Sam had too much money and power. Why was he even with Mercedes he wondered? Wait until he dumped her ass like the trash she was, who would have the last laugh then.

Brittney shivered as the women eyed her and called her fresh meat. She didn't know what that meant but she was pretty sure it wasn't something nice. She wasn't going to be able to walk away from this and it was Mercedes, Anthony and Sam's fault. Her thoughts turned to Mercedes; she hated her for being a whore using sex to trick Sam into her bed. Rolling her eyes she re-ran Sam's words through her mind, he was pussy whipped and would do anything to keep Mercedes riding his dick. She gagged at the thought of them having sex. But the biggest mistake of all was Anthony; never send a man to do a woman's job. That prick, who would have thought he had the brains to record all their calls? She hoped he fell down some stairs and broke his damn neck.

"Hey Blondie, it's shower time, let's go I'm gonna make sure you get all nice and clean."

Brittney wrapped her arms around herself as she looked at the brawny woman who was her cell mate. Backing away she flinched when Big Bertha smiled as she crooked a finger at her to follow her to the showers. She was so fucked!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Mercedes and Sam walked in the house after spending hours in the police station answering questions. They were both so exhausted, but Mercedes had a surprise for Sam and was determined to give it to him. She was so grateful for Sam and everything he'd done for her today; she wanted to show him how much she appreciated him.

She grabbed his hand and lightly kissed it, "Sam, I wanted to thank you so much for being there for me today. I don't know what I would've done if you hadn't been there for me."

Sam pulled her in for a hug, "Mercedes, you took care of everything before I even got there. You didn't need me; you had it all under control."

Mercedes melted into his hug, reveling in his touch, "It was because of what you said Sam that made me want to fight back and get back to the people I love, to get back to you."

The smile on his face was as bright as the sun, "I would have done everything I could to get you back home to me. I would have spent every cent I had to insure your safe return. I love you Mercedes Jones and I will always do whatever I can to protect you. You are my family now and you know how I feel about my family."

Hearing Sam say those words to her not only warmed her heart but made her only want him more. "I have a surprise for you."

"Oh you do now?" Sam gave her a sly grin, "What kind of surprise?"

"Well, I was planning this before all this happened, and I really want to go through with it." She gave him a sultry look, "Meet me upstairs in my room in twenty minutes and follow the instructions left for you." She turned and began to walk away with a little extra swish in her hips.

"You're being very secretive Miss Jones," Sam smirked as he watched her leave. "I like it."

She made her way to her room and started getting things prepared for his surprise. She jumped in the shower and quickly got cleaned up and put on her robe. She heard Sam knock on her door in exactly twenty minutes. When he walked in a smiled crept on his face when he saw everything she had set out for him. Candles were lit everywhere, soft music was playing and rose petals were on the bed. He saw two envelopes on the bed and instructions to pick one card and say out loud which one he chose. Sam looked at the cards one said Bystander and the other said Participant. He picked up the card and said, "Bystander." He opened the envelope and saw that he was to strip down to his underwear and sit on the bed with his back to the backboard. He quickly did what was requested of him and waited.

Mercedes was in the restroom preparing herself for the evening. When she heard Sam say Bystander she put on her red and black lingerie set with the red crotch-less panties and red heels. She put on a black satin short robe and made sure her makeup and hair was perfect. Making her way out of the bathroom she heard Sam gasp in approval, "You like what you see so far?"

Sam was trying to find the words to say, but the vision before him was taking his breath away. No words would come out so all he could do was nod. Damn I love this woman! She didn't even do anything but walk out and I'm ready to blow a load.

"Since you chose Bystander, you will watch me perform for you, but there's a stipulation, you can't touch me." She gave him a seductive smirk. "You have to watch and enjoy the show; and just to make sure you follow the rules…" She walked over to the bags on the dresser and grabbed the one marked bystander and pulled out the contents inside. Two silk scarfs one red and one black. "I am going to tie your hands to the bed post."

"Mercedes, is this really necessary?" He was actually a little…or a lot turned on by the thought of being tied up. This new vixen side of Mercedes was so sexy. "Alright I will play by your rules tonight.'

She whispered in his ear, "That's a good boy Sammy, and good boys always get rewarded for his actions."

Her warm breath on his skin sent tingles through his body. Having her that close to him, smelling her perfume, feeling her skin brush up against his, seeing the bottom of the role hike up when she bent over him was torture already. He wanted so badly to touch her. When she finished tying him up she sent him a sexy smile, "Are you ready?"

"Yes baby, I'm so ready." Sam watched as she walked over to the stereo and turned it on.

Mercedes stood directly in front of the bed as the music started and she looked at Sam with her lust filled eyes, "Sam would you mind?"

The music started to play and Mercedes slowly swayed her hips from side to side, as she started to sing.

(Would You Mind by Janet Jackson)

Baby would you mind touching me

Ever so slowly

You're making me quiver

Mercedes undid her robe revealing her lingerie for the first time to Sam. He was a goner when he saw her, his eyes went wide, everything on her looked amazing. The way her breasts sat up ready for him to devour. Her legs in those heels and her ass in that thong, Oh My God! She is trying to kill me.

Baby would you mind undressing me

Making me feel sexy

While in the moment

[Chorus:]

Cause I'm gonna

Bathe you, play with you, rub you, caress you

Tell you how much I've missed you

She took off her shoes slowly and climbed on the bed and stood in front of him and was rolling her hips, slow winding it down, she got down and gave him a peek-a-boo moment so he could see her crotch-less panties. "Damn" was all he could get out.

I just wanna

Touch you, tease you, lick you, please you

Love you, hold you, make love to you

And I'm gonna

Kiss you, suck you, taste you, ride you

Feel you deep inside me ohh

I'm gonna

Kiss you, suck you, taste you, ride you,

Feel you, make you come too

She crawled to him and slid up his body very slowly and methodical. Her breast sliding all over him, he couldn't do anything but close his eyes and enjoyed the sensation he was feeling.

Baby would you mind kissing me

All over my body

You missed a spot – there

She was standing directly over his face and began to slowly drop down onto his face and allowed him to get a taste of her pussy that was already dripping wet from the anticipation of what was to come.

Baby would you mind tasting me

It's making me all juicy

Feeling your lips on mine

Cause I'm gonna

Bathe you, play with you, rub you, caress you

Tell you how much I've missed you

I just wanna

Touch you, tease you, lick you, please you

Love you, hold you, make love to you

And I'm gonna

Kiss you, suck you, taste you, ride you

Feel you deep inside me ohh

I'm gonna

Kiss you, suck you, taste you, ride you,

Feel you, make you come too

She straddled his underwear clad crotch and began to grind into him to the rhythm of the music. Sam was going insane by this point. "Baby untie me please." Mercedes put her finger to his lips to shush him and continued with her song.

Baby would you mind coming inside of me

Letting your juices free

Deep in my passion

Cause I'm gonna

Bathe you, play with you, rub you, caress you

Tell you how much I've missed you

I just wanna

Touch you, tease you, lick you, please you

Love you, hold you, make love to you

And I'm gonna

Kiss you, suck you, taste you, ride you

Feel you deep inside me ohh

I'm gonna

Kiss you, suck you, taste you, ride you,

Feel you, make you come too

By the end of the song Sam couldn't take anymore he literally ripped the scarfs from the bedpost and grabbed Mercedes and flipped her over on her back and plowed his rock hard dick inside her dripping wet pussy. Not even giving her time to adjust, he began to fuck her senseless. Ramming his cock in and out of her pussy, he already knew he was close to cumming. It was nothing but pure, unadulterated, fucking going on between them. Their bodies yearned for each other and they would not deny each other either. Mercedes loved the feeling of having Sam be all animalistic with her and fill her to the brim, "Yes Sam, fuck me baby….fuck me!" She was clawing and scratching at his back and pulling his hair. Sam was making these grunting and growling sounds and fucking her with abandon. "Shit Mercedes you're so fuckin tight baby, SHIT!" He was thrusting his hips faster and faster, "Yes Sammy right there baby…don't stop!" He did as she asked and he didn't stop. Feeling her walls clinch around his dick he gave her a few more hard thrust and pure ecstasy overcame them and they both came at the same time, with each other's names on each of their lips. Sam collapsed on top of Mercedes putting his full body weight on her body. She grabbed him with her legs still wrapped around his waist and held on to him as tight as she could. He stayed there until he regained feeling in his body and he rolled over, pulling her into him, and wrapped his arms around her.

"Mercedes"

"Yes Sam."

"We might have messed up."

"What do you mean?" She sat up and turned to look at him.

"I didn't put on a condom." He looked so scared about what her reaction might be.

She panicked for a second but she relaxed because she thought about who Sam was and what he meant to her. Sam is such a great guy and if I was going to have a baby with anybody it would be him. He would never abandon me or the baby, I know that. And…I love him. "It's ok Sam, if it is meant for us to have a baby, we will. I trust you with all of me."

The look on his face was priceless; he couldn't have smiled any brighter. "You mean that Mercedes? You would really be okay if you were pregnant with my child?" I cannot believe I am actually thinking this way. I am actually thinking about starting a family with this woman, building a future with this woman, marrying this woman.

"Yes Sam, I'm serious. I hope I'm not freaking you out by saying that."

"No, not at all baby, it's the complete opposite of freaking out I feel hearing you say that." He kissed her chastely on the lips. That did it! I am going to ask her to marry me. I am so in love with this woman, I can barely stand it. Mercedes calling his name shook him from his thoughts, "Did you call me?"

"Yes Sam, I asked what you were thinking about? You zoned out on me." She looked into his beautiful green eyes, "It must have been important?"

He smiled and kissed her forehead, "Yeah it was definitely important, but I'll tell you later, right now I am fading fast and I need to sleep so I can get ready for round two and three."

She laughed heartedly at his comment, bit her bottom lip and smiled, "And four, five and six too."

"Exactly, you know I love you right?" He said kissing her hair.

"Yeah I know" she said coyly, "and I love you too."

He chuckled "Yeah I know."

They laid there, wrapped in each other's arms, and their bodies tangled together and let sleep overtake them. It was a peaceful nights rest and they both had the matching smiles on their faces to prove it.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

As the sun peaked through the curtains Sam looked over at a sleeping Mercedes with a smile on his face. She was so beautiful he couldn't help staring at her, caressing her cheek with his thumb and kissing her softly on the forehead. If you would have told him that this was going to be his life at this time he would have had you committed. He was not the relationship type of guy. He couldn't see past the first date with any woman before Mercedes, even though technically they never went on an official first date. I am definitely going to have to change that. He began peppering her face with soft kisses until she opened her eyes.

"You certainly know how to wake a girl up in the morning." She gave him a slight smile, "Did you sleep well?"

"Like a baby" he said gently stroking her hair, "all thanks to you of course."

She giggled, "Aww Sam, you know I didn't do much, I just did what came natural to me, being around you."

"Oh no Miss Jones," he sat up and gave he a playful glare "that person who came out was so not you just being natural. That was a sex kitten who knew what she wanted and got it."

Mercedes couldn't hold back her laughter, because she knew he was right. "Wait a minute Mr. Evans, but I seem to recall you going a bit animalistic yourself."

Sam laughed, "It's because you brought it out of me. I have never done that before," she gave him a 'yeah right' look "I swear

he pleaded with a smile on his face.

"I believe you Sam," she smiled caressing his face, "I saw the surprised look on your face when you did it. I guess we bring out the wild side of each other."

He smirked "I guess so, but you know what; I like it."

"I'm glad." She smiled and sat up, "So do you want your next surprise now?"

Sam honestly forgot about his second surprise, he sat up and nodding and clapping excitedly like a kid on Christmas, "Yes, yes, yes."

Mercedes cracked up laughing at his silliness, "Okay crazy man, calm down, you can have your next surprise." She got up and went to the dresser and grabbed the bag marked 'participant' and made her way to the bed. She threw the covers off Sam and leaving him all exposed. "I don't want to mess my blankets."

"Mess up your blankets? What do you have planned Miss Jones?"

She pulled out a few bottles of edible body paint and shook them at him, "I just thought we'd get a little creative."

Sam's face lit up and he grabbed a bottle of paint, "Me first, lay down woman."

Mercedes smiled and did what she was told. Sam took the paint and starting by drawing a heart on each of her breasts.

She laughed "Does that mean you love my breasts?"

"Exactly, but I love you too." He joked and continued drawing on her body. He drew and arrow down her stomach stopping right above her hip, he wrote Sam right over her core. "You are now marked as mine."

She bit her bottom lip, "I can deal with that." She grabbed the other bottle, "It's my turn now, lay it down mister."

"Yes ma'am" he said lying down.

Mercedes took her paint and drew lips all over his chest and abs, followed by a real kiss.

"Miss Jones you're not being fair kissing on me like that?"

"Who said anything about being fair Mr. Evans?" She laughed and continued to draw. She took his cock in her hand and slightly started to stoke it. She then painted Mercedes on his shaft and sealed it with a kiss on the head.

"Mercedes Jones you are trying to start something aren't you?"

"She giggled, "Maybe."

He pulled her on top of him and began kissing her, with more passion and desire. "Mmmm, baby you are so beautiful."

Mercedes heart did a triple loop hearing his words. How can this man be so perfect? What did I do to deserve him? "You make me feel beautiful Sam." She kissed him back with the same amount of passion as he gave her. "I love you Sam, so much."

"I love you to Mercedes, more than any words I can think to say." His eyes sparkled looking into her eyes. They just took a moment to gaze at each other and take one another in. Mercedes couldn't take it any longer and broke the silence.

In a soft angelic voice she caressed his lips "Sam, make love to me, please."

Without another word being spoken, Sam flipped Mercedes over and began kissing her all over her face and neck. He was gentle and tender with every touch. Sliding his hands all over her body, feeling every beautiful curve; he thought she felt heavenly. Her moans of approval let him know that he was doing what she wanted. Mercedes skin was on fire feeling his hands and lips on her body. She never had a feeling like this with any man before; he just knew how to make her go crazy with just a touch. Sam continued to kiss her all over her body, and made sure he gave special attention to her breasts, massaging the right one with his strong hands while sucking greedily on the left one. Flicking her hard bud with his tongue and gently nibbling on it. That sent a shiver down Mercedes spine as she ran her fingers in his hair; massaging his scalp. "Oooh Sam, that feels so good baby." He made his way down her stomach, in between her legs and licked his lips anticipating having her in his mouth. With a long swipe of his tongue on her slit, Mercedes instantly bucked her hips and grabbed the sheets, trying to hold back the scream that was trying to escape her body. He held her hips steady as he proceeded to go deeper inside her pussy with his tongue, sliding two fingers inside as he sucked on her clit. He knew she was close to her release and he was waiting on every drop of her. He began to hum against her clit, and the vibrations made her lose control and she squirted her juices all over his mouth. She couldn't hold back the screams anymore, as stars filled her eyes, "OOOHH SAM!"

He smiled and licked up every drop. "Wow, baby that was new."

"I have never done that in my life," she was trying to catch my breath, "You are the only man to ever make that happen."

Coming back and kissing her deeply on her lips, having their tongues dance inside their mouths. He released her after they had to breathe, "And I will be the last."

Mercedes wanted that so badly for them. She never wanted to let Sam go, he was everything to her. She only wanted to be with him and hearing him say those words only made her dreams feel more like reality. He slid his dick inside her; his breath hitched feeling the warmth of her pussy wrapped around his dick was the best feeling to him. Slowly thrusting his hips, they interlocked their hands and he looked at her face as he made love to her. "Mercedes I love you so much."

She arched her back to allow him to go deeper inside of her. "I love you to Sam, so much."

He quickened the pace and their sounds of bliss filled the room. "Open your eyes baby, I want to see your eyes when you cum." She opened her eyes to see his green eyes looking at her. Their breath was becoming labored feeling their climax was close. A few more thrust and he felt her walls clinch around his dick and her body began to shake. "Sam!" Was all she could get out, he was no better when he came he was trying to form a sentence but failed, "Mercedes…love…you…Fuck!" He collapsed on top of her not able to feel his legs. She held him tight against her body with her legs still wrapped around his waist. As soon as he could, he rolled over and pulled her into him.

"Baby that was amazing, you are amazing." He kissed her on her forehead.

"You were amazing baby; you had my body doing new things." She was aimlessly drawing circles on his chest. "Did you like your surprises?"

"Like them…no baby, I loved them, thank you so much for them. But you were right about one thing," He looked at her and smiled.

"What's that?" She sat up and looked at him.

"I am yours. All of me belong to you."

"She sheepishly smiled, "And all of me belongs to you too Sam."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sam walked pass Rachel whistling, giving her a smile and a wink he asked her if she could call the guys and Quinn, telling them to meet him in his office in twenty minutes.

Rachel returned his smile and told him she would call them as she handed him his messages. Well hell, the last time he came in here whistling like that he hooked up with Brittney's crazy ass. Keeping a polite smile on her face she reached for her phone. He better not be doing some more crazy shit, he don't pay me that much!

Puck, Mike, Artie, Blaine and Quinn all entered his office together. Sam could see the concern on their faces.

"Thanks for coming guys, I have something I want to tell you and before you ask you can wipe those worried looks off your faces. Mercedes is fine." Sam smiled as he saw them all relax.

"Well fuck man! Did you really think we wouldn't come? You're our friend and with the shit that's been going on, we can't help but to worry." Puck shot him a glare as he sat down next to Quinn.

"Not to mention you sign our checks." Artie muttered, Mike heard him and laughed, giving him a fist bump.

"Smart ass" Sam muttered back to Artie.

"Okay guys, settle down. Sam what did you have to tell us?" Quinn glared at both of them. "Cedes is okay thank God." Cocking her head she looked at her cousin, suddenly she ran over to his and threw her arms around him with a squeal of happiness.

Sam laughed in surprise, but then he should have known that Quinn would figure it out. The others in the room looked at each other, confusion written across their faces.

"OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD" Quinn kept saying as she squeezed Sam's hands. She was so excited and happy for Sam, she'd been waiting on this day for years.

"Quinn what the hell? Why are you jumping around and OMGing about so loud?" Puck frowned as he stood up watching Quinn bounce around.

"Really dude? OMGing? What are you...13?" Mike shook his head as Puck shot him a glare.

"Tell them Sam!" Quinn was grinning as she rocked back and forth.

Blaine began to smile, he had figured it out too, and looking at the other guys' expressions he saw they still didn't have a clue.

"Alright Quinn I will or you're going to bust a gut." Laughing he looked at the men now standing around the two of them. "I'm going to ask Mercedes to marry me."

"About time, damn, I thought I was going to have to ask her!" Artie smirked as he punched Sam in the arm. "Congratulations man, you're getting one hell of a wife."

"YES!" Blaine did a fist pump, laughing he shook Sam's hand. "Welcome to the family."

"Can't say I didn't see this coming; congratulations dude. Mercedes is one fine ass woman." Puck grinned as he pounded Sam on the back.

"Congratulations dude." Mike cocked his head as he looked at Sam. "Bro, you better treat her right or she will kick your ass like she did Anthony's."

At Mike's words they all looked at Sam and cracked up, knowing Mercedes could do it.

After more words of encouragement they began to leave. "Blaine, could I talk to you for a minute?" Sam called out as he saw the man about to leave.

Waving to the others Blaine turned back to Sam with a question in his eyes. "What's up?" he couldn't stop smiling, his best friend was about to be proposed to and she didn't know it.

"I wanted to know if you would come with me to pick out Mercedes ring. I want to make sure I get a ring she will love, plus having her best friend's seal of approval on the ring wouldn't hurt."

"I would be honored Sam." Blaine knew his face was going to be hurting, he was grinning so hard. "Thank you for asking me to come with you."

"Who else would I ask? You're Mercedes best friend, you're my friend, and also you are the only one that would even have an idea of what type ring she would like." Sam smiled at the shorter man who had welcomed him into the family.

After making plans to go the next day Sam began to whistle softly to himself. Mercedes was safe; Anthony and Brittney were on their way to prison. The kids loved Mercedes almost as much as he did. His life was back on track, better than he ever thought it would or could be. He was about to ask the woman he loved more than life to become his wife. He knew his parents were looking down on him with a smile. They would have loved Mercedes and she would have loved them. He truly thanked God for all his blessings. Damn, he loved his life!

All the regulars were there for lunch. As they gathered around the table Rachel was practically bouncing in her chair.

"Guys did you hear about Brittney?" Rachel's eyes sparkled with glee. "She got arrested for plotting with a man from Mercedes past. He kidnapped her with Brittney's help!"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Unique asked as she leaned across the table staring at Rachel.

"She's telling the truth, I shit you not!" Ryder exclaimed, "I heard Artie talking with Mike. That Cray bitch tried to get rid of Mercedes using a dude from her past."

Sugar, Rory and Marley listened with various expressions of horror, disbelief and amazement.

"That bitch finally went off the deep end? What did she do?" Sugar asked forgetting about her lunch. She knew Brittney wasn't playing with a full deck, but damn!

"That fool somehow found out about this guy Anthony, Mercedes use to date; anyway Brittney looked him up and told him where to find Mercedes. The guy was abusive to her and that's why she left him." Ryder informed them of what he had overheard Mike and Artie discussing.

"That trifling bitch! She told an abusive man where to find the woman he was abusing?" You could hear the shock and contempt in Unique's voice.

"Oh my God, she wanted Sam that much? She would endanger another person just to get him?" Marley felt sick to her stomach, how could a person be that twisted that another human's life and safety meant nothing to them.

"See that's why I like a woman with meat on her bones." Rory calmly stated.

"What the hell does that have to do with anything?" Rachel asked as everyone looked at Rory.

"When they don't eat, trying to stay a size two or some shit like that, they starve their brains and they get bat shit crazy." Rory explained.

Ryder offered Rory a fist bump, "Dude you are right on the money! Just like you women don't want no scrubs, we guys don't want no crazy, brain starved woman."

"We want a woman holding on to a sandwich, not trying to hold on to her sanity!" Rory looked at Ryder as they both broke into laughter.

"Really? You guys went there? Talk about a couple of dweebs!" Sugar rolled her eyes.

"Back on the topic, how did they find out what happened to Mercedes?" Unique asked.

"Somehow she managed to call Sam and they traced the call. The police and Sam made it there at the same time." Ryder answered as he began to eat. "It's a good thing the police were there, I think Sam would have killed the dude if he had found them and no cops around."

"He didn't hurt her did he?" Marley shivered at the thought.

"No, he didn't or Sam would be in jail right now, cops or no cops!" Rachel was sure of that.

They all sighed in relief, thankful that the young woman they all liked had not been harmed.

"You know, I always knew Brittney was six cans shy of a six pack but to do some shit like that." Unique shook her head, you never knew how desperate some people were or how far they would go to get what they wanted.

Rachel looked around at her friends, "Want to hear some even better news?"

"There's something better then Brittney getting her ass handed to her?" Rory wanted to know because what happened to Brittney was damn good.

The rest of the group nodded in agreement with Rory. This had to be some really great news to beat Brittney going to jail.

"Sam is going to ask Mercedes to marry him!" Rachel couldn't stop the small squeal that came out as she made her announcement. "I heard your bosses this morning as they were leaving his office talking about it!"

There was a stunned silence for a moment then giggles, small squeals and fist bumps were heard and exchanged among the group.

"Are you sure Rachel? I mean everything you and Ryder told us are you sure?" Marley asked

Before Rachel could answer they heard someone clear their throat. Looking around they saw Mike standing at their table with a smirk on his face.

"Everything they said is correct. Some details are missing but you will read about it in the papers. Sam will be getting married to Mercedes, and Brittney will be going to jail." Giving them a small bow Mike turned on his heels and left. Behind him he could hear the excited chatter of the group, smiling he entered the building, all was well in their world again.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sam was coming home from work and all he could think about was talking to Stevie and Stacy about his decision to ask Mercedes to marry him. He knew they approved of their relationship, but he wanted them to know just how serious he was about her. Walking in the house he heard them in the TV room and he headed that way.

"Hey guys, how was school today?"

Stacy jumped up, ran and gave Sam a hug, "School was great Sammy, and I got the lead in the school play."

"Really, wow Stacy that's great. I had no idea you were even trying out for the school play." Sam looked puzzled; how did I let information like this slip by me?

Stacy smiled, "I know, I didn't tell you. I wanted to see if I could get it first. Mercedes has been helping me with my audition. She is such a great teacher. The director said I had one of the best auditions he'd seen all day."

Sam smiled so bright listening to Stacy talk about Mercedes, "That is so great Stace, I can't wait to see it. What play is it?"

"Beauty and the Beast." Stacy squealed in excitement, "I get to be Belle."

"I am so proud of you," He pulled her in for a hug, "Well you tell your director anything he needs for this play financially your brother will take care of it."

"Thank you so much Sammy, I want the big ball dress like Belle wore in the movie." She was so excited she started dancing around the TV room.

"You got it Stace; we'll see what we can do." He turned to Stevie, "What about you Stevie, how was school?"

Stevie shrugged his shoulders, "It was okay I guess, I got my grade back from that science test I had."

Sam knew Stevie had been struggling in science and he was on the verge of failing that class, "So what was it?"

Stevie grabbed the paper out of his bag and handed it to Sam. Looking at the paper a smile crept on Sam's face. "You got an A."

Stevie smiled bright, "Yup."

Sam picked Stevie up, hugged him and rustled his hair, "I'm so proud of you Stevie. You worked hard and look at this an A."

"Mercedes helped me so much and helped me understand this science stuff. I know I could have never done any of this without her help." Stevie was so happy and proud of his grade. "You should marry her Sammy."

Sam was stunned at Stevie's last comment, but knew that his news was going to be well received by them. "It's funny you would say that Stevie, because I planned on doing just that."

Stacy and Stevie looked at Sam; then each other; then back to Sam. Stacy was the first to say something, "Sammy you better not be joking with us right now, because if you are I am seriously going to kill you."

Sam laughed at her reaction, "No Stace, I'm not joking, I'm going to ask Mercedes to marry me and I wanted to know what you two thought."

Stevie stopped Stacy from speaking, "You really want to know what we think?"

"Yes Stevie I really do." He nodded at them.

"We think that it is about time. We think that you should have asked her the moment we started to like her, because we already knew you did. And we think she is the best thing that happened to this family in a very long time." He couldn't keep the smile off of his face, turning to Stacy, "Anything you want to add sis?"

"Yes, thank you Stevie," She turned her attentions to Sam, "We also think that Mercedes is the best thing that could have happened to you Sammy. I haven't seen you smile this much in a very long time. And with everything that happened while we were away and the way you went after her and her fighting to get back to you and us, is nothing short of a great romantic movie. We love Mercedes and would love to have her as our sister in law.

Sam had tears in his eyes listening to the way Stevie and Stacy described their feelings about his plans. He wanted them to be happy, but he never expected such emotional responses from them. "You two are the best brother and sister a guy can ever ask for you know that. I am so happy that you guys are happy about this. I am going to need your help with coming up with a great way to propose to Mercedes."

You got it man, "Stevie said excitedly, "you know I am the king of ideas."

Sam laughed, "That you are Stevie. You guys start planning and let me know. Remember guys this is a secret, please don't tell Mercedes."

"You got it Sammy, our lips are sealed." Stacy said bouncing up and down, "Oh and Sammy, congratulations, mama is smiling in heaven right now."

"Yes she is Stace, yes she is." Sam was trying to hold the tears back, but one managed to escape his eye. He turned and walked out the room where he then let the tears freely flow. He looked to the sky, "I'm happy now mama." He went and jumped in the car and headed towards the city.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sam pulled up in front of Tiffany's & Co. and saw Blaine standing there waiting. He jumped out of the car and extended his hand to him, "Hey Blaine, I hope you weren't waiting long."

"No not at all, I just walked up actually," Blaine stated shaking Sam's hand, "I am very excited to be doing this today."

"Not as excited as I am," He said smiling, "I talked to Stacy and Stevie and they are thrilled about me marrying Mercedes."

"That is so great," Blaine said, "It seems like yesterday they didn't even want her around, and now they are happy that you want to marry her."

"I know," Sam smiled, "she is just that amazing, that they couldn't even deny how wonderful she is. So let's go look and pick out which one of these rings will look the best on the most beautiful woman's finger."

Blaine chuckled and nodded his head, "You are so gone."

They looked around the store for about two hours looking for the perfect engagement ring. When they finally found one, they were very pleased with their choice. While they were waiting on the ring to get sized, Sam turned to Blaine, "I wanted to ask you something Blaine. This whole shopping trip was also a way of me bonding with you and asking you how you really felt about me asking Mercedes to marry me?"

Blaine smiled, "I knew it was something other than my great taste in jewelry that you wanted from me. Well to be honest Sam, at first I was a little wary of you two dating, because you were her boss and I didn't want her to get hurt. She has been through so much and the last thing I wanted was for her to get into another relationship that could end badly for her. And with your play boyish ways we all know that could have happened."

Sam didn't expect Blaine to be so blunt with him, but he knew he should have, knowing the type of relationship that he and Mercedes had. "Blaine I really appreciate your honesty, and I want you to know, I have no intentions of hurting Mercedes. She has brought so much joy and light to my life…to my entire family's lives and I will forever be thankful to her for that. As far as me being a playboy, well there is no denying that I have had my share of women, but I can honestly say that I have never felt like this about any of them except Mercedes. She is in a class of her own compared to those other women. I love her Blaine with all of my heart and soul and I need her in my life."

Blaine listened intently to what Sam had to say and his heart was melting to the words he was saying about his best friend. She deserved someone who wanted and desired her as much as Sam did. "I am happy for the both of you and just to let you know, if you ever hurt her, I will kill you and dispose of the body where they will never find you."

Sam chuckled knowing exactly where he was coming from, "I completely understand, but I have no intentions of doing that. Thank you Blaine for bringing her into my life," getting up to go get the ring the saleswoman brought out to him, looking at the ring and back to Blaine, "she is the woman of my dreams." He paid for the ring and headed out of the store. Before he could get to his car, Blaine stopped him.

"Hey, have you talked to her parents yet?"

Sam nodded, "I'm heading to Lima in the morning to talk to them."

"Good," Blaine said, "because her parents are very traditional that way and if you want to impress them you better be on your toes, her dad is tough and her mom is no joke when it comes to Mercedes."

"Thanks for the warning," Sam said now getting nervous, "I will just have to put on the Evans charm."

Blaine laughed, "You better do more than that and you better be honest, they can detect bullshit. See ya Sam." He patted him on the back and headed to his car smiling.

Sam was so nervous, he was about to ask Mercedes parents for her hand in marriage. He knew it was old-fashioned but there was a part of him that wanted to go the whole mile for her. Just thinking of Mercedes made him smile, she was everything he could dreamed of for a wife but never thought he would find. Getting out of his car he made his way to the front door, taking a deep breath he knocked on the door.

Lydia heard someone knocking, looking at the clock she wondered who would be visiting so early in the morning. Peeping through the curtains beside the door she gasped! It was Sam Evans, quickly letting the curtain drop she hurried to open the door.

Seeing the short woman in front of him Sam had to smile, he could see where Mercedes got her curves and beauty from. She was almost a mirror image of her mother.

"Good morning, Mrs. Jones, my name is Sam Evans and your daughter…"

"I know who you are and come in." Lydia interrupted him grabbing his hand and dragging him in the house. "Have a seat please; I'll just go get my husband." Inside Lydia was practically screaming and jumping for joy, she knew why he was here; but on the outside she appeared calm.

"Martin, Martin! He's here! Come on hurry up, put that coffee down! Damn it man come on!"

Martin looked up in surprise to see his wife doing a little jig. "Woman settle down. Who's here and why can't I finish my coffee?"

"Sam's here! I just know he's here to ask for Cedes hand in marriage so quit dilly dallying and get your butt in gear."

"How do you know he's here for that?" Woman always jumping to conclusions, Martin thought.

"I talked to Cedes last night and she said he was going on an overnight business trip. Hello, he's here so what other business could it be but to ask for her hand?" Lydia rolled her eyes. Men damn they were slow to connect the dots.

Sam was startled with the greeting Mrs. Jones gave him. He followed her in looking around and smiling as he saw pictures of Mercedes at various ages. He hoped when they had kids that they would have a little girl who looked just like Mercedes, maybe twins if they were lucky. A couple of boys wouldn't hurt either. Maybe a set of twins each time with one of each, he couldn't help but to grin at the thought.

Hearing footsteps he turned to look at the older man who entered. Damn her dad was a big man! He wasn't smiling either. Sam felt his nerves return, wiping his hands on his jeans he held his hand out as he introduced himself, hoping his palms weren't too sweaty.

"Hello, Mr. Jones, I'm Sam Evans and I'm sorry for disturbing ya'll so early but I have something important I want to discuss with the both of you."

Martin could tell the young man was nervous but he never dropped eye contact and he had a firm grip. He liked that, never did like that shifty eyed, limp handshaking punk Anthony.

"It's nice to meet you Sam, I've heard a lot about you from my wife as well as my daughter. So what brings you here so early and unannounced?" Martin stared down at the man no cracking a smile.

Lydia elbowed her husband, "Sam, please have a seat, you have to excuse my husband he didn't get his full amount of caffeine this morning. Would you like something to drink?"

Sam could feel himself began to sweat; shit this was not going to be easy. "No thank you ma'am. But thank you for the offer."

"I apologize again for interrupting your morning but I wanted to ask if I could have your permission to ask Mercedes to marry me." Sam felt like he was dying inside, this was the moment and he had never been so scared in his life.

Lydia couldn't stop the squeal that came out; slapping her hand across her mouth she could feel the tears come to her eyes. This man was in love with her daughter and wanted to marry her. She knew all the things that Cedes had been through and now to find happiness with Sam, she was overjoyed for her. Trying to be still she couldn't help but to wiggle and tap her feet, she was so excited.

Martin looked at his wife as she tried to cover up her excitement. He was happy too but he wasn't going to just hand his daughter over. He had to make sure Sam was right for her. Anthony had slipped past him and he would never forgive himself for that. He wouldn't let his baby girl down again.

"So you want to marry my daughter? " Martin frowned as his wife pinched his arm, not looking at her he kept his eyes on Sam.

"Yes Sir I want to marry her." Sam's answer was firm as was his gaze.

"Well, I have some questions first and I need answers, honest answers son. I have a good built in bullshit detector; you need to know so think before you answer." Martin's voice was hard.

"I have nothing to hide Sir, so please ask me anything."

"Why do you want to marry my daughter? I know you have money but it's going to take more than money to keep her happy. So do you have what it takes to keep her happy? I've read about you in the papers and you seem to have lots of women after you. Can you stay faithful or will you be tomcatting around on her? "

"Martin, give him time to answer your questions." Lydia exclaimed

Sam took a deep breath and answered each and every question. Giving his honest answers, he was determined to be an open book. He knew where these questions were coming from and had no problem answering them. "I love Mercedes with all my heart and Soul, Mr. Jones. She has already made it very clear that my financial status means nothing to her and that is one of the reasons why I love her. I would like to think I have what it takes to keep her happy, but I promise you, I will do everything in my power to keep her happy or die trying. And as far as women go, yes I have had my share of women, but Mercedes is the only one I have ever been in love with. She has captured my soul and there is no denying the impact she has had on my life. She means the world to me sir and I know I would not be able to function properly without her in my life."

As impressed as he was with Sam's answers he continued with his questioning, "Do you want kids? You have a younger brother and sister, how do they feel about Mercedes and do you expect her to become their mother? How does she get along with your friends? Why didn't you choose a woman from your own social circle? What do you expect Mercedes to do with her life? Be a housewife and mother or have her own career?"

Lydia listened as Sam answered each question, noticing that he was open and sincere.

"I would love kids, and I know Mercedes does as well. I would have as many kids with Mercedes as she wants, because I know she will be a great mom. As far as my siblings, they were fortunate to have a great mom, and there is no need to find a replacement for her. Mercedes and I would act as their legal guardian. They adore Mercedes, as a matter of fact they told me before I said anything about proposing to Mercedes that I should marry her." Sam had to laugh at the social circle question," Excuse me, I don't mean to laugh, but as far as social circle goes, I never choose a woman based on status, because when you do that, you miss out on very good women. Besides, Mercedes is in a class all on her own. She is free to do whatever she wants to do with her life. I don't care if she works or not, as long as were together.

Lydia was about to give the thumbs up, then she thought about Anthony. Pulling on her husband's arm she whispered in his ear reminding him of Anthony's behavior.

Sam wondered what they were discussing but he knew he would find out.

"Excuse us for the whispering but I have a few more questions. Have you ever hit a woman? Have you ever been verbally or mentally abusive towards a woman?" Martin and Lydia both looked at him intently waiting for his answer. For them this was a deal breaker

"No sir, I have never nor will I ever put my hands on Mercedes or any woman. I believe in treating not only women but men the way I would want to be treated. I don't believe in verbal or mental abuse. I know and understand this has to do with Anthony. But I can promise you that I would see Anthony and Brittney dead before I let them get close to Mercedes again. They know this because I've told them so. Mercedes is mine and I don't mean it in a possessive way, but that she's everything to me, and I would do anything to protect and make her happy. " Sam's voice was hard, tinged with anger when he thought of Anthony and Brittney and what could have happened to Mercedes.

Martin and Lydia looked at each other with a smile. Sam was the one.

Lydia stood up and sat beside Sam. "We want to thank you for everything you and your friends did to save and protect Cedes. That means the world to us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts." She pulled him into a hug with tears in her eyes.

Sam returned her hug smiling; there wasn't anything he wouldn't do for his Mercedes.

Martin stood up and put out his hand to Sam, "Welcome to the family son."

Sam couldn't stop the grin that spread across his face, now all he had to do was ask Mercedes.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sam was sitting in his office at home not really concentrating on the paperwork he had in front of him on his desk, but thinking about the love of his life and the question he was burning to ask her. He knew when he was going to do it, but he was still trying to figure out how he was going to do it. He sat and thought about their journey to this point and he remembered that they have yet to go on their first date. Sam sat up quickly, "That's it" it was as if the light bulb just went off in his head. He grabbed his planner and typed a message to Mercedes, Come to my office sexy! He smiled to himself and waited. A few minutes later he heard a knock at the door. "Come in."

Mercedes walked in with a smile on her face but her hand on her hip, "You do know you sent that message to everyone in the house don't you?" She started to laugh, "Luckily for you, they all know I'm the only one you call sexy," raising her eyebrow, "I better be the only one you call sexy."

Sam grabbed his planner and looked he forgot to send it private, "Damn, I am going to get blasted for this from them, especially Santana, but you know you are definitely the only one I call sexy."

"Oh yeah, she was laughing the most. She was about to come up here and mess with you if I didn't stop her." Mercedes walked over and sat on his lap. "I better be, now that sexy is here, what can she do for you?"

He kissed her sweetly on the lips, "That is a loaded question baby, because there I so much you can do for me."

Mercedes laughed, "Well since I am officially on the clock, you will have to keep it short, I have to go get the twins soon."

"We can send Finn." Sam said kissing her neck.

"Sam Evans! I am not going to slack up on my duties so you can have your way with me, that sir is going to have to wait until later." She gave him a wink.

"Okay fine, I'll keep it short. I was sitting here thinking and I realized that we have never gone on a date. I mean we have movie nights with the kids weekly, dinner with our friends, and some company parties but you and I have never had a first date and I want to rectify that. So Mercedes Jones, would you please do me the honor of having dinner with me this Saturday night?" He smiled at her knowingly."

Mercedes couldn't hold back the smile. She never even thought about the fact that they hadn't gone on a date, because she was just so happy with Sam and their relationship that a date was not that important. She nodded her head, "Yes Sam, I would love to go to dinner with you on Saturday." She kissed him with so much passion, right then her planner started chiming. She looked at Sam and then the planner, "Well like I said I'm on the clock, I got to go, but I can't wait till Saturday baby." She got up getting ready to leave.

"Neither can I babe," He stood up and walked her to the door and gave her one more kiss. "And by the way, I love you."

She smiled and kissed him back, "I love you too."
