Next chapter we get to meet more Glee characters. Oh yeah last chapter I used a song suggested by bluchromed2002. oh and also LLUCAS becareful what you wish for...lol

It took a minute for it to register to Sam what was just about to happen. He was about to see Quinn again, for the first time since they all graduated. He wondered if she'd recognize him or if she'd read about him in when he was featured in an article for Forbes Magazine. All this was making him nervous and the email he just read from Sue didn't help it at all. Sue advised him that she had made an arrangement for them to meet up with Penny to see if they can move forward with the deal. He was coming head to head with two women from his past and it was all going down within 24 hours.

Sam rolled his luggage inside of Mercedes' house and made his way to the guest bedroom's bathroom that she recommended that he used to get ready for this dinner date. It didn't take long for him to get ready but Mercedes had been upstairs for more than an hour when he finally settled on the sofa and watched a little ESPN.

Mercedes knew that she was taking a risk bringing Sam with her but she wanted to have a slight advantage at the table. Sam was part of both Finn and Quinn's past and having him there would most definitely have them uneasy. She had no plans on taking Finn back, no matter what Quinn had to say. The fact of the matter was that he knew about it and never told her about having a child with Quinn. She smiled at herself as she removed the rods from her hair and fluffed it out so the ringlets would spring out the way she wanted them to. As she gazed at her full reflection in the mirror she smiled, she was going to show Finn what he was going to miss tonight. Her phone rang the ringtone to Fifth Harmony's Boss, causing her to smile as she slid her finger across the screen.

"Now you know you have to send me a picture of yourself before you leave, right?" Unique said immediately. Mercedes had the opportunity to text her about what was about to go down and she knew Unique would have called to harass her about it.

"Yeah I was just about to take a selfie and send it your way." She replied smiling as she walked over to her closet and picked out one of her strappy red bottom heels.

"And where's that fine man of yours?" Unique asked causing Mercedes to roll her eyes and shake her head as she strapped the heels around her ankle.

"He is not my man!"

"But he's going to play that role tonight!" she reminded her. Mercedes had decided to continue the charade of being Sam's girlfriend for one more night just to make Finn see she was serious about moving on. "And I see no reason why he can't be your man."

"Well, for one, I just broke up with Finn a few days ago…"

"Girl, you been needed to lose that loser! And I have always said the best way to get over a man is to get under a new one." Mercedes could hear her snapping her fingers. It was crazy how she and Unique got along when they had two totally different thought processes. As a person who helped many with their relationships she just could never fully grasp at her own relationships the right way.

"And secondly, remember he is a patient of mine!" she added. This was the main reason Mercedes kept trying to focus on to keep her from developing feelings for him, but it wasn't working at all.

"Minor details! Send him down to the 3rd floor and keep it moving, girl! You know I'm right." Unique stated. Mercedes smiled at her phone realizing she had been upstairs for quite some time.

"I gotta go Unique, it's almost 8pm and I want to get this night over with." She said grabbing a necklace and bracelet out of her jewelry box.

"Alright, call me when you get home and spill that tea!" Unique responded before hanging up. Mercedes gave herself a quick glance in the mirror, snapped a picture sending it to Unique and took a deep breath before making her way down the stairs.

Sam was starting to think maybe Mercedes forgot that he was still there until he heard coming down the steps. He turned off the T.V. and turned to look her way and almost choked as his eyes set on hers. She smiled at him and looked down at herself as if she wasn't aware of what she was wearing. She took the last step and looked up at him again before approaching him and handing him a necklace.

"Do you mind?" she asked and turned around lifting her hair a bit. Sam smiled as a couple of the ringlets bounced than fell back over her hand. "I always have issues with the clamps on this thing." She stated.

"No problem." He lied. It was a definite problem because all he wanted to do was plant light kisses along her neck instead of placing this necklace around it.

"Thanks!" she stated turning around and blushing as she caught him checking her out. She was happy she chose to wear this dress and hoped Finn would have the same reaction to it. The sleeveless black dress had nice ripples caused by the chiffon which didn't shy away from accentuating her curves and the low cut allowed her necklace to pull attention straight to her cleavage.

"So uh…yeah…let's go!" Sam stuttered and offered his arm. She smiled grabbing her clutch purse and then taking his arm as they walked out to his car.

Once inside the car, Mercedes received a text from Finn asking where she was. She smiled because she had him right where she wanted him. She replied she was a few minutes away and to go ahead and order drinks. She looked over at Sam who seemed to be a nervous wreck. She was nervous too but she refused to show it. Tonight she wanted to leave with the upper hand and to eventually leave this Finn thing behind once and for all.

"Are you okay, Sam?" she asked.

"Yeah…" he looked her way and then back at the road. "I just have this really important meeting tomorrow and I'm a bit nervous about it. Mercedes nodded although she thought he was nervous about seeing Quinn again. "I really need this deal to work." Mercedes smiled and reached her hand out placing it on his for a bit and gave it a quick rub to calm his nerves.

"Everything's going to work out." She stated. He sighed and pulled up to the Valet. "Well here goes everything."

"Yeah…let me get your door." He stated jumping out the car and handing his keys to the valet before opening her door and taking her hand. "Are you sure we're ready for this?" he asked looking over at her. She smiled at him and nodded but didn't say a word. When they walked in Sam immediately saw Quinn, although her hair was a lighter blonde than he remembered, she hadn't changed much. She was still as pretty as she was in high school. He gave Mercedes hand a slight tap before excusing himself as she spoke to the host. "Be right back!" he stated. She smiled at him and watched him walk to the Men's room.

"I see my party right over there." Mercedes told the host. She really wanted Sam to be with her as she approached the table but she knew he was dealing with a lot while she was only really dealing with Quinn.

"Okay, well right this way!" the host guided her towards the table. Mercedes forced a smile on her face as she scanned Quinn's face. This would be her first time meeting the woman face to face and she could see why Sam and Finn both fell for the girl. She was the epitome of a blonde bombshell. Her light blonde hair was cut short and she had on light make up and a gorgeous smile as she laughed at whatever corny joke Finn was probably telling her. Mercedes took a deep breath and laughed internally when Finn saw her and scanned her dress. Mission accomplished!

"I'm sorry I'm late…hope I didn't keep you two waiting too long." She lied she purposely took her dear sweet time just so that she could see the look he was sporting right then.

"Hey babe…no we only just got here a few minutes ago." Finn stated standing up and pulling her chair for her. She smiled at Quinn just as Finn tried to give her a kiss and extended her hand over to her.

"Nice to finally meet you, Quinn! I have heard so many great things about you." She lied again. Quinn seemed shocked and confused but took her hand anyway and smiled.

"Oh really? What has he told you?" she asked looking over at Finn as if she was shocked he spoke about her to his own fiancé.

"Oh no…not from Finn…" Mercedes waved him off as he sat back down and looked between the girls. "Finn doesn't tell me anything and when he does tell me stuff, I'm not sure when it's a lie or the truth." Mercedes laughed causing Quinn to laugh nervously.

"Oh…I see…if it wasn't Finn…who…" she stopped midsentence as Sam came to the table and sat down next to Mercedes and kissed her right on the lips. Mercedes was shocked herself but she knew she needed to play the role.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, babe!" Sam said and then looked over at Finn and Quinn as they both looked on in shock. "Oh, I'm sorry!"

"Sam Evans?" Quinn uttered. Finn couldn't suppress the irate look that was emerging on his face as he glared at Mercedes.

"Is something wrong, Finn?" Mercedes asked as she took a sip from her drink and looked at him smugly. "Well, I was about to introduce you to Sam but it seems you already remember him, Quinn." She added turning her gaze back to the blonde.

"Yes…Quinn is the girl I dated in high school who cheated on me with Finn." Sam added. Finn turned his glare over to Sam.

"Wait…aren't you her patient?" he asked finally remembering where he'd seen him before. "You're dating your patients now?"

"Actually Sam isn't my patient…I just wasn't ready for you to know about us when you dropped in the office that day."

"Especially since we had just made love in her office before you came in." Sam stated. Mercedes was a bit taken aback by him saying that but she loved the look of disgust on Finn's face so she went along with it.

"Right in the chair you were sitting on…and then subsequently kicked." Mercedes added before sipping her drink again.

"I don't believe you! You would never do that! You're just trying to make me jealous." Finn stated then looked over at Sam. "And you, I know you're doing this just because of what I had with Quinn." Mercedes hated that he was a bit right but she was not going to let him know that he was.

"Think what you will, but I am happy now."

"And I need you to stop calling her. You interrupted our trip with my family with all those calls." Sam added.

"You took her to meet your mother?" Quinn asked in shock. Sam smiled and slowly took Mercedes' hand in his and smiled.

"When I love someone I like to bring them to my family so that they can meet them." He replied. Mercedes knew he was acting but just hearing him saying that made her heart flip.

"Anyway, we came here because you wanted to share something with me." Mercedes said looking over at Finn who was glaring at their joined hands.

"Well, Finn wanted me to tell you that he wasn't lying about me having a baby and putting it up for adoption." Quinn replied for him. She was about to add more but paused when a waitress came by and took their order and then left. Mercedes smiled when she noticed Sam didn't give the waitress a second glance while she stood there.

"We never kept the baby…and if you'd give me a second to explain that you would still be with me." Finn whined. Mercedes rolled her eyes at him and looked back at Quinn.

"The point is that he knew he had a child but he never told me about it."

"Well, he wasn't really lying about that." Quinn added causing everyone to turn their gaze her way. "I was young and stupid back then and I didn't appreciate you Sam. Not like I should have." She stated looking his way. "Finn was more dumber than I thought because we never had sex when I got pregnant but he believed he was the father." She looked his way and frowned.

"What the hell, Quinn?" Finn asked in shock. "We had sex in your bed that night when your parents were away." He reminded her. Mercedes and Sam looked to each other and then back at Finn and Quinn.

"No…remember I had the lights off…" she looked down and paused as the waitress came over with their appetizers. Once the waitress left she continued. "I actually just used a fleshlight and lube and faked a couple sounds." She flinched and looked away. "I needed you to believe I was pregnant for you because I knew Sam wouldn't fall for that."

"What the hell?!" Mercedes said looking over at Sam.

"Look, I couldn't tell everyone that I was actually cheating on my boyfriend," she looked at Sam. "...with the Quarterback only for the school to find out it was really his bestfriend…"

"What the fuck? Puck? You had sex with Puck?" Finn asked cutting her off. He was talking so loud that the other patrons were looking their way.

"I'm really sorry…it was something that just happened…we were drunk and stupid…I couldn't see myself with a Lima loser so I…I'm sorry." She tried to reach out for his hand but he snatched his away and stood.

"You know what…I don't need this…" he stood and looked over at Mercedes and then at Sam before growling and kicking the chair he was sitting in and storming off. Quinn got up and ran after him, leaving Mercedes and Sam alone at the table. The owner of the restaurant came over to their table and made sure everything was alright as he looked at each of them.

"Uh…yes…our friends were just upset." Mercedes lied. Sam felt a bit sorry for Quinn but more disgusted at all the things she did in high school just to remain popular. He was about to say something when he spotted his lawyer coming his way.

"Great!" he mumbled and shifted in his seat and tried to grab Mercedes hand so that they could leave as well.

"That escalated quicker than I thought it would have." Mercedes said as she prepared to get up. She stopped suddenly when a tall short-haired blonde woman came over to them and smiled.

"Hey there Samuel, I knew I recognized those lips from across the room." She smiled and then looked at Mercedes. Mercedes wondered if this was another woman that Sam had sex with. If so, he really had a problem. "Oh look who's here. Big booty Bertha! Do you have dinner and dress like a streetwalker with all of your patients, Dr. Jones?"

"Excuse me?" Mercedes looked over at Sam and then back at the woman she really wanted to take to the carpet for insulting her.

"Mercedes, this is my lawyer, Sue Sylvester." He introduced them and sat back down before pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Sam, when I suggested you see this woman, you do know it was to help you with your problem, right?" she asked looking at Sam.

"Sue, you're my lawyer, not my mother! I can date whoever I want." He reminded her. Sue smiled at him and nodded just as the owner of the restaurant came back to their table.

"I am sorry but I will have to ask you all to leave you are making the rest of my guest uneasy." He stated and smiled as he watched them slowly rise from the table. "Don't worry about the check."

"I guess we'll discuss this further tomorrow at the meeting." She looked over at Mercedes and smiled before walking out of the restaurant.

"Sam…you better check your lawyer…" Mercedes stated as they walked out of the restaurant as well. Sam sighed and followed behind her shaking his head.

"I'm sorry she talks like that with everyone."

"Doesn't mean we have to accept it!"

"I know, but she is really good at what she does, so I have no choice but to keep her around." He replied as they waited on the valet to bring around his vehicle. He reached for her hand and stroked it causing her to forget everything. Mercedes was slightly happy with the way the night turned out but felt almost as if she wasted an outfit as dinner lasted less than an hour. She wanted more and unfortunately her eyes were set on someone she shouldn't have them set on.

The ride back to her place was quiet as they both thought about everything that just happened. Mercedes looked over to Sam and thought about the kiss he planted on her at the restaurant. It was merely a peck but she could still feel his lips on hers, tingling and begging for more. She laughed as she remembered what Unique said earlier. "Best way to get over a man is get under another!" she knew she couldn't have sex with Sam, but she really wanted to. When they arrived at her house, all thoughts of being his therapist flew out the window.

As Sam was driving he was praying silently that he would have the strength to just grab his luggage from inside her house and head back home. Mercedes in that dress was not helping his suppress his urges as he watched her walk over to her door and open it. The way she walked in and then paused before looking back at him over her shoulder sent his mind whirling.

"Do you mind?" she asked pointing to the zipper of her dress. Sam remembered gulping loudly as he wondered if she was testing his strength not to take it further. He walked over to her and pulled the zip down lightly. "My arms are so short." She giggled.

"Mine are really long." He added for no reason. She turned around and laughed holding the dress close to her body. "Um…well I guess I better go." He stated but never made a move towards leaving. Mercedes smiled and walked over to her steps before stopping and looking his way.

"You don't have to…" she said before going up the stairs. Sam smiled and walked over to the steps and going up behind her. Gone was any of the strength he had to hold back his urges. Right now, what they both needed was to relieve themselves of the two people they just had dinner with. He followed her to her bedroom and started to unbutton his shirt as he watched her let her dress fall down to her ankles and smile back at him shyly. She turned around and stepped out of the dress and walked to him. She was happy she chose to wear her sexy underwear that night because the look on his face was good enough to make her forget all her inhibitions. His green eyes were focused on hers as she inched up and kissed him lightly on the lips. He placed one of his hands to her face, and the other around her waist pulling her closer before kissing her again this time he wasted no time slipping his tongue between her lips. This is the way he'd wanted to kiss her ever since she planted that kiss on him at his parent's house. She moaned against his lips and placed her hand on his hand stroking it as he stroked her face. As they kissed, she forgot all about Finn, all about the repercussions of sleeping with her patient, of falling for Sam Evans.

He backed over to the bed, unsnapping her bra as she fiddled with his belt buckle. He kissed her neck as she moaned and unzipped his pants and allowed it to fall to the floor. They paused briefly as she got on the bed and under the covers pulling off her panties and watching his undress and pull a condom from his pants pockets. It had been a week since he last needed to use one and he prayed he didn't come prematurely as he crawled on the bed. She smiled as he kissed her again and placed the condom on before pushing the covers aside and entering her slowly. It was too late to go back now. They were in too deep. He was in too deep and she loved it. Once he was in he stopped kissing her and stared off into the wall as if he was concentrating.

"What is he looking at?" she asked herself as she watched him avoid her eyes. He placed his head on the pillow and continued to thrust into her. "He wasn't ready!" she thought to herself. She was so ready to get over Finn she completely forgot to think if Sam was ready. He couldn't even kiss her or look her way. Although she was enjoying the feel of him inside her she couldn't help but still feel disconnected to him.

"Stop thinking, Mercedes!" she said tried to focus as he jerked a couple times and then collapsed on her. She stared off into the ceiling wondering what just happened. He pulled out and smiled at her lowering his head to kiss her. He kissed her passionately and suddenly she felt the connection again. "Why couldn't he do that while they made love though?" she thought as she watched him get up and rush off to her bathroom. That's when it dawned to her. "He's never made love before!" she said out loud. "Wait…do I want to make love to Sam?" asked herself. Falling asleep as she thought about it she knew she had started something that she wasn't ready for.

Sam came out of the shower and smiled as he watched her sleep. He ran down stairs and grabbed a pair of sweats before making his way back over to her room and slid in bed next to her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and fell asleep. He'd never cuddled up to a woman after sex before but he also didn't want to leave without saying goodbye. He kissed her neck softly before falling fast asleep next to her.

The next morning, Mercedes woke up and looked over to see the bed was empty next to her and her bathroom door was opened. She sighed and rolled her eyes at herself. She couldn't believe he treated her just like all those one night stands he's always had. What did she think he would have done though? Instantly, fallen in love with her and changing over night? That only happened in the movies and romance novels. She groaned and made her way to the shower and almost screamed when she saw her hair. "Geez! I hope he didn't see me like this." She laughed as she got in the shower. She was still slightly upset with him. "He could have at least wakened me up to lock the front door." She mumbled as she went down the steps in her bathroom pulling her hair up into a tight bun stopping when she bumped into him fully dressed in a suit, coming out of the kitchen with a tray.

"Good morning!" he smiled and walked over to her kissing her on the lips. She stood in shock as she watched him place the tray on the table. "I was trying to surprise you with breakfast in bed." He frowned. She looked at the tray with bagels and fruits and orange juice. "It's not as good as the one you did for my folks, but I hope you like it."

"Um…wow…I thought you left." She admitted before sitting down and grabbing a bagel. He smiled and sat across from her drinking some coffee.

"I wanted to see you before I left." She smiled and started spreading some cream cheese on the bagel then handed it to him. "Oh…no thanks…this is all for you. I get really nervous before meetings so I can't really eat." He declined and watched her take a bite.

"I remember…what's the meeting about?" she asked and noticed his smile fade. "If you can share with me."

"Well, you remember I told you about a woman I had…sex with in Vegas…and never called her back…I apparently slipped out as she slept and ignored her as she attempted to reach me." He looked at Mercedes waiting for her to react then continued. "Well she works for the company that I am trying to sell Sig2 to and if Sue can't fix this issue with her…then I just spent almost 85% of my company's money on this item that won't sell." He sighed and looked at her again. "The meeting I'm having is with her in a little bit." Mercedes nodded as she ate.

"Look you said it yourself; Sue is a great lawyer so just trust that she will guide you the right way." Mercedes added. He smiled and looked down at his phone before getting up.

"Hey, I have to go…but I will see you later today, right?" he asked as he made his way to the door. She followed him holding a piece of bagel in hand and nodding. He opened the door and stepped out then turned back and pulled her, kissing her. "Have a good day at work!" he smiled as he walked over to his car. Mercedes smiled as she closed the door and leaned on it.

"What was that about?" she asked as she blushed.
