A/N: Didn't anyone read my AN on chapter 5 where I said that this triangle would be fucked up? No? Well you should've listened to me. It's only going to get MORE complicated for our diva and the two beautiful blondes in later chapters. I am actually surprised at the people who said they wouldn't do what Mercedes did… I know I would've, I mean she loved the woman for teen Jesus' sake! But I digress, did you think it was going to be all rainbows and colorful bowties because Quinn came back? Did you forget she's evil? No? Good.
Oh warning: poorly written sexual situations happen in this chapter. I told you I sucked at writing them and that hasn't changed… anyway, onto the chapter.
When Mercedes woke up she thought she'd feel content with waking up next to the love of her life. Quinn laid there, head on the pillow, beautifully buck naked under a simple sheet and Mercedes couldn't help but wonder where the hell she had been. Yeah last night her emotions got the best of her once she saw her again and she and Quinn made love a couple of times but in the back of Mercedes mind laid two things: a shit load of questions and Sam... Poor Sam. Who would never understand, even if she explained to him what happened.
Mercedes couldn't help but feel guilty. She got up and put her robe on, careful not to wake Quinn.
Downstairs she put a pot of coffee on and then went to pick her stuff up from off the floor. She saw her phone had four messages. Two from Santana who wanted to know why the hell did she hung up on her, and two from Sam who only wanted to make sure she was ok. Listening to it, Mercedes felt the guilt rush through her yet again. Sam was nothing but the best thing that happened to her since Quinn's death-disappearance. And she basically shitted on whatever they were building.
In anger she threw her phone on the kitchen table then took the coffee off the stove, poured a cup and stared idly out of the window. She didn't even hear Quinn come downstairs; she didn't feel any presence until Quinn kissed her cheek.
Mercedes tensed up at the kiss, she didn't know why but now that the night was forgotten, the sins of the day showed and Mercedes felt like it was all overwhelming her. Quinn noticed she was tense, so she tried to rub her shoulders, Mercedes tensed up again and that's when Quinn spoke up.
"Mercy... What's wrong?" Quinn asked taking a seat next to her.
Mercedes didn't even feel her next words leave her mouth. She didn't feel the sting in her voice as she said them either.
"Where the HELL were you Quinn?" Mercedes spat venomously.
"Mercedes... I-" Quinn began.
"No! I don't want to hear another run around... Last night I gave you a pass because I missed you so damn much. But now I want you to tell me the truth. Where the fuck were you? Why did you leave me for months with no contact! Why didn't you call me? Text me? Hell why didn't you LET ME KNOW YOU WERE ALIVE?"
Quinn bit her lip. She knew she couldn't tell Mercedes the truth, the creature specifically forbid her from telling ANY mortal her true identity until he told her otherwise. But she couldn't lie to her either. She never lied to her before, and she wasn't planning on doing that now. Quinn was torn... What was she supposed to say?
Quinn just sat there in silence; she didn't even say a word back. Mercedes didn't know why but her silence made her angry. It made her feel like she was hiding something.
"WELL?" Mercedes yelled at her. "I want answers Quinn! Where were you?"
"I can't tell you... I'm sorry Mercy. I can't tell you anything right now. I just need you to trust me, trust my love for you. And I promise to reveal all soon." Quinn took her hands in hope she could calm her down. Mercedes pushed Quinn's hands away violently and got up from the table.
"That's not good enough!" she spat "I want to know where you've been NOW! Or you need to leave my home."
"Mercy..." Quinn pleaded.
"No Quinn! I won't accept it. I cried over you for months. Thinking that I lost you. No one cared Quinn, that you were dead... NO ONE truly cared but me. Then I started to go to therapy... And I started to heal; I started to get over the fact that I wasn't ever going to see you again. I even started dating again... Only to have you come back into my life. Now I'm not saying this isn't a miracle... Because it is. You're back and Quinn, I am willing to drop everything and pick up where we left off but not if you're not going to be honest with me..."
Quinn didn't process half of what Mercedes said after she uttered the "I even started to date again" sentence. she immediately became furious. She almost forgot her powers were controlled by her emotions. Her hands started to heat up as she asked, "You're dating someone?"
Mercedes scoffed at her, "That's the only thing you took away from my mini speech?"
"Just answer the damn question Mercy. You're dating someone! Who is she?" Quinn asked with anger growing in her voice.
"You expect me to tell you ANYTHING when you can't even tell me where you've been? Please Quinn." Mercedes tried to make her way upstairs but Quinn grabbed her arm tightly.
Mercedes could feel overwhelming heat form on her arm, like Quinn's hands were a hot fire. She screamed out loud and Quinn pulled away, shocked that she hurt her.
"Quinn... What the hell was that? Why are your hands so damn hot?" Mercedes asked rubbing her arm up and down.
Quinn looked at her hands and shook her head... No way would she hurt Mercedes. Not intently. It must've been Lamia... The creature said Lamia would show her face whenever Quinn needed her. But not with Mercedes! She was her love, her soul mate. Quinn started to cry and scream
"I'm a monster!" and then ran upstairs.
Mercedes came up after her... She noticed Quinn locked their bedroom door.
"Quinn?" Mercedes asked. "Quinn open the door! What's going on with you?"
After five minutes with no answer Mercedes went downstairs and got her spare bedroom key. She came back up and opened the door to find the room empty and the window open. She called for Quinn again with no answer. Looking down on the bed she noticed a note, with Quinn's hand writing.
Mercy-
I so badly want to tell you where I've been, how different I am now, how strange my life is and more importantly how, even though my life is different, my love for you hasn't changed. I don't care who this new girl is in your life, you know you still love me. Six times last night proved you do. And if it's a fight for your heart she wants, that's what she'll get. I did it with Finn and I won, and I'll do it again. I'm gonna give you space, but I need you to know I'm still here, I'm NOT dead and one day I'll tell you everything. I promise.
I love you forever, and I'll be back in a few days. I have some...
Demons of my own I need to take care of.
- For you, Always, Quinn.
Mercedes felt so many emotions at once, confusion, worry, fear... But more importantly she felt guilty. Quinn was partially right. She did still love her. That wouldn't change, and under different circumstances she would've just jumped right back in with her... But she couldn't stop thinking about Sam. Her feelings for him were confusing her. If she didn't have strong feelings for him, wouldn't whatever she was feeling dissipated by now? Mercedes knew she had to settle things with him before she settled things with Quinn. She looked at the clock she saw she was late for work. She put Quinn's letter on her nightstand and went to go get ready. In the back of her mind, she made a mental note that she would go see Sam one of these days, and just tell him what happened. She feared he would be heartbroken, but she at least owed him the whole truth.
Sam and Stevie came to their parents' house that same night around dinner time. Their parents Howard and Jessica were setting the table when they walked in.
"Anybody home!" Sam said excitedly as he walked into the house.
"Sammy my boy!" Howard gave his eldest son a huge hug and then proceeded to give Stevie one followed by a tousle to Stevie's blonde hair.
"Hey dad! Mom! How's it hanging?" Sam asked them both.
"It's better now that your here! Give momma a kiss!" She grabbed Sam and peppered kisses all over his face, then did the same to Stevie.
"That's enough mom!" Stevie said pushing her away. His mom smacked his shoulder then she took Sam and Stevie's hands and brought them to the table.
"Sit boys... You came just in time! Dinner's ready!" Jessica exclaimed.
"Yay! I haven't had one of mom's home cooked meals in three weeks!" Sam said taking a biscuit from the middle of the table.
"That's because of that nice woman you're seeing." Sam's mom said as she brought the pot of spaghetti to the table.
"I'm sorry?" Sam said confused.
"The pretty black girl you've been seeing... Mercedes." Jessica said again.
"Mom... How do you know about Mercedes? I only found out about her today." Stevie added.
"Yeah... And I never told you I was seeing anyone. Let alone her name... Mom... How do you know all of this?" Sam asked confused.
"I... Umm..." Jessica Evans bit down on her lip...
"Mom? Are you gonna answer me?" Sam says.
"Well you're both old enough; I guess I should tell you... I'm a-"
"JESSICA!" Howard yelled. "We promised to never tell them. Stevie's too young to comprehend this."
"I'm 18! One eight... Not 5! Mom! Dad if there is something you are keeping from us me and Sam have the right to know!"
"BOY! Don't you raise your voice at your mom understand? Whatever we have kept from you is only to protect you. Now let it go!" their father said at the top of his lungs.
"NO! I want to know! Does this have anything to do with the fact that Stacy has been trying to contact me in my dreams?" Stevie asked.
Howard and Jessica looked at each other full of worry in their eyes.
"Howard it's begun... Just like I said it would. We need to talk to Stevie now... Before danger gets to him first."
Howard nodded at his wife then turned to Stevie and Sam. With a fearfully stern look on his face he said...
"We need to have a talk... Now!"
TWO DAYS LATER
Sam made it home from work still completely shocked by the information his parents bestowed on him. He didn't know what to say or do... He thought about calling Mercedes, but he hadn't heard from her in two days and Sam figured she may be embarrassed to show her face ever since the Stevie incident. He got in the shower and let the water hit him hard... All these years his parents had been lying to him about who they were and who Stevie and Stacy were- what they were.It killed Sam to know that he was right about Stacy's death. She died supernaturally and there was never anything he could do to stop it. The hot water seeped into Sam's skin as he contemplated. Soon his doorbell rang and it continued to ring until he got out of the shower and put a towel around his waist and opened the door.
Standing outside was his... Well he didn't know what to call her. But it was Mercedes. He smiled at her and leaned against the door, still dripping wet from his shower. Mercedes bit her lip as she took him in. This was going to be harder than she thought. But she had to remain calm and focused. Yes he looked hella sexy standing in his door way- in absolutely nothing but a towel but she had to ignore what she was feeling in her loins, and get down to the brass tacks of why she came.
"Sam... Hey!" She said with a smile. Before she got a chance to walk in, Sam pulled her inside, pushed her up against the wall and started to attack her lips with his. He was so dominant and sexy the way he sucked her lip gloss straight from her lips. Then immediately slid his tongue across her bottom one, seeking access into her mouth. Mercedes opened it and he took her tongue and swirled it around with his. As always, ever the multi-tasker Sam picked up one of her legs and wrapped it around his waist, showing her just how badly he was aching for her.
"How do I get myself into these situations?"Mercedes thought as Sam's hands moved to the side of her breasts. He was pressing his hardness into her leggings clad core and she felt every inch of that trouser snake near her sweet spot.
"Damn... I missed you so much." Sam said as his lips made it to her neck.
"Sam..." Mercedes moaned against him. She was so not here for this. Why did he and Quinn always have to seduce her?
"Say my name again baby... You know I love it." Sam pressed into her again bringing out a groan from Mercedes. Damn this woman knew how to turn him on. He was about 200 degrees hard for her, and he couldn't wait to just forget everything and be deep inside of her, loving her until she begged him to stop, or they were both exhausted.
"Willpower Mercedes willpower!" Mercedes told herself. She needed to keep saying it so that she could have the strength to pull away and tell him what she came to tell him.
She pushed him away. Trying to gain some control in the situation.
"Sam, I didn't come here so we can continue what we did the other day. I came here because I have something important to tell you and once you find out... UGH! Can you please just go put some clothes on and meet me in the living room?" Mercedes eyed him; the head of his huge cock was peeking out of his towel. It was red, and pulsating. It scared and aroused her all at once. She turned away from him, trying to keep focus as she made her way to the couch. Sam looked down at his general and sighed. "No loving for you tonight lil' guy... Maybe next time?"
He disappeared into his room, came out a couple minutes later in some basketball shorts. He said fuck the shirt. Maybe if he kept it off, Mercedes would realize she couldn't resist his flat abs and his bulging arms.
He sat down next to her and asked, "Okay... What's up?"
"Sam... Are you not going to wear a shirt?"
"Nope... I'm headed to bed soon and I don't want to be wearing too much clothes. So what's going on beautiful? Why haven't you called me?"
Mercedes bit her lip. She contemplated on just ripping the band aid off and telling him or dragging it out with an entire explanation. Finally she decided a mixture of both would suffice and she said, "Sam I want you to know I like you... A lot."
Sam smiled. "I like you a lot too... You're the most amazing thing in my life right now. And as you know I don't lead a very... Amazing life."
"I know... And I felt the same way; you brought me joy when nothing but sadness filled my heart. Which is why when I tell you what I have to tell you, you'll never speak to me again and don't worry, I deserve it."
"Mercedes... What are you talking about?" Sam asked... Now he was worried.
"Sam... I don't know any other way to say this then to just come out and say it,.. Quinn is alive! She came back last night... And we made love." She blurted.
"Oh." Is all Sam said.
"Sam please say something! Curse at me! Yell! Get angry! I don't care... Just say anything other than oh."
"What am I supposed to say? You come here and tell me that Quinn's back, the love of your life... And you two made sweet love. How am I supposed to compete with that? You don't love me Mercy. You love her."
"I- I do love Quinn. You always knew that Sam. I told you I would love her always." Mercedes added.
"Then why are you still here huh? You told me what you wanted to say... So just go! Go be with Quinn." Sam could feel his heart breaking. Just when he was getting happy again. God takes away Mercedes. Just like he takes away everything in Sam's life.
"Sam that's just it! I love Quinn but she won't tell me where she's been. She's hiding things from me and she up and disappeared AGAIN! But even with all the drama that comes with her being back, my mind still goes to you. For some reason you invade my thoughts and my heart. I can't let you go either Sam... I don't want to let you go. I want you."
"You don't have a right to say that to me. I won't be your man on the side... I deserve more than that. I want all of you Mercedes... I won't share you with her. It's either me... Or Quinn."
"I don't know Sam... I can't choose! I don't know why you even affect me this way, I thought that making love to Quinn and her being back would change things, I thought whatever we had was casual. I mean I love Quinn right? Then why can't i escape what I'm feeling… for you ?" Mercedes looked down at her feet, she was completely scared, she knew she was getting ready to lose him and that's what she feared the most… the fact that she didn't want to.
But what Sam did next was a surprise to them both…
"It's because..." Sam said moving towards her, "You don't just like me Mercedes... Admit it; you're falling in love with me. Just like I'm falling in love with you. That's why you can't choose between Quinn and I, your feelings for me are stronger than you will let yourself believe."
Sam never fought over a girl before, it wasn't in his nature, but he wasn't lying. He had very strong feelings for Mercedes. A lot like love feelings for her. He admitted to himself that he'd fallen for her a while ago. But they were taking it slow and he didn't want to overwhelm her. Sam didn't know if it was jealousy that possessed him to take her lips again. But he sure as hell knew he wasn't going to let whoever Quinn was to win that easily. He and Mercedes had a bond and tonight he was gonna show her that the challenge for her heart... Has been accepted.
He brought her closer to him, as they made out and he pull away suddenly and said, "Let me prove to you that I'm the one you should choose, if only for tonight. If in the morning your heart still screams Quinn...I'll let you go."
"Sammy..." Mercedes moaned. What the hell was happening? Mercedes thought as Sam removed her t-shirt. She thought Sam would be saddened and heart broken, she thought he would be kicking her out by now… yet here she was being seduced by him. Was it jealousy that possessed him to do this? He was trying to prove he was the better man. Was he? Was Sam right about Mercedes falling in love with him too?
Mercedes didn't know the answers to any of those questions as Sam palmed her breasts in his hands. She brought his big pink lips back to hers and their tongues played with each other as he budded her nipples through her bra. Sam moved down her body, like a sexy snake and he gripped the waist band of her leggings and pulled them down roughly then tossed them to the side of the couch. He lay on top of her, kissing her neck he said, "I deserve you Mercy... Tell me you want me."
"I want you." Mercedes said.
He took off her bra and panties, and then he started his slow, torturous tit fuck once again. Mercedes couldn't contain the moans Sam brought out of her as he finally reached her honey pot. Quinn knew how to give great head, that was true, but there was nothing like Sam's tongue in her core. It was thick and rough and she could feel it deep inside of her. He added two fingers and she was a goner. She came soon after with HIS name on her lips. Sam took off his shorts and then picked his chocolate goddess up and carried her to the bedroom. Laying her down, Sam went to his drawer and got out a condom.
"Sam... I don't think it's going to fit." Mercedes said eyeing the red perfection. "I haven't had a penis in me in a while."
Sam just smiled and got on top of her. He kissed her lips so softly and slowly and kept kissing until suddenly he entered her. She gasped at the overstuffed feeling of him inside. But Sam kept kissing her, and he wrapped her legs around him and they kept moving. Their bodies became one as Mercedes' moans and Sam's groans filled his apartment. Sam had never felt this way about a woman before; if he could have just her forever then he would die a contented man. Their fingers interlocked on the bed as they both came closer to climax. Sam sped up his movement and as he felt her walls milk him Sam shouted, "Mercedes! I love you."
Simply Mercedes said, "Sam... I love you too."
a/n: what do you think Stevie and Stacy are? Let me know and before y'all start calling Mercedes a whore you should know that yes she is falling for Sam and that's why she did what she did. It's called a "Love Triangle" for a reason people! And you totes can't blame Sam either... He's in love too... And I believe it just got more complicated... Correct? *runs away*
