Alright that's all for the shout outs y'all came for the story not the shout outs. Songs I used for this chapter was You Made A Fool of me by Me'shell.
Mercedes read the card over a million times it seemed, trying to decipher if there was some hidden clue that she was missing as she listened to one of her favorite sad love song. Her first thought was that he screwed her and didn't like it. Her next thought was that he liked it so much it scared him off. She just couldn't understand how he went from making her breakfast and kissing her before he left for work to completely firing her without a call. It had been a week by then and she finally came to the conclusion that he really didn't want anything to do with her. She thought of calling him and always punked out when it came down to dialing the last digit. She just couldn't bring herself to do it. She'd vaguely explained what happened to Unique leaving out a few minor details so of course her bestie came over for a bit of company.
"I swear if you don't take that song off repeat I will cut my ears off!" Unique said walking out from Mercedes's hall closet wearing one of her coats. She always would go through Mercedes hall closet and pick out items she knew she had no business wearing. "You think I can borrow this by the way?" she asked twirling in the coat. "I was thinking of going speed dating and this could help me find Mr. Right! Or Mr. Right Now…hell I'll take a Mr. Right there, right there….yesss right there, baby!" Unique laughed then stopped noticing that Mercedes wasn't paying attention as she read the card once more than tilted her head back as she sang along to the radio.
"I remember when…you filled my heart with joy." She sang along with the radio as Unique stared at her and rolled her eyes. "Was I blind to the truth…just there to fill the space…'cause now you have no interest in anything I have to say…" she continued and ignored as Unique walked back to the closet. "And I have allowed you to make me feel dumb…what kind of fool am I that you so easily set me aside?" she took a deep breath and continued. "You…made…a…fool of me…tell me why!" she sang with her eyes closed as she allowed herself to be taken away by the smooth voice of Me'Shell. "You say that you don't care but…"
"Okay, Mercedes, I've had enough of this song!" Unique stated cutting her off by switching the song to another and placing the queue on shuffle. Mercedes opened her eyes and glared at her friend as she walked over and sat next to her. "Look, it's either you move or you call him. What's it gonna be?"
"You don't get it. Things are complicated with Sam and I." Mercedes shook her head and placed the card on the table and shifted to face Unique. She knew Unique was right and that she needed to get over it but it was all easier said than done. One would think that as a therapist that she would have her love life in check but she always seemed to struggle when it came to her own.
"Girl you are trippin'! You act like you two had sex!" she said laughing as she fixed the coat on her then paused and looked over. "You slut! Why didn't you tell me? Now I see why you are mad! Spill the tea! Was the D game on point?" Unique asked smiling and wiggling her eyebrows at her. Mercedes thought back to the night they slept together and shook her head. How Sam delivered pound after pound and then got up after he came not even waiting for to reach a climax. She couldn't explain to Unique how Sam just stared into the wall as if her Gspot location was being tracked on there. That was not something that she wanted to share but her face said everything. "Oh hell no, Mercedes! His Dick game was weak and you over here going all Celine Dion when you need to hit him with a good Kelis "I hate you so much right now!"
"You don't understand." Mercedes replied as she leaned back. Hell, she couldn't even understand why she was still thinking about Sam. She had long since stopped thinking about Finn and he was with her for 3 years. Granted, he was a no good cheating sweet talking scum but still they had history and she was over him the moment she kicked him out of her office.
"Yeah, I guess I don't!" she got up and went back to the closet. "What I do understand though…is that you are feeling this guy a lot…even though his dick game is wack…"
"There's more to life than dick!"
"The lies you tell!" Unique shouted from inside the closet causing Mercedes to laugh. "What I was saying is that since you like him so much you should give him a call and see if there's a reason behind all of this." She emerged from the closet wearing one of Mercedes' hats and checked herself in the mirror. "I'mma need to borrow this hat too!"
"Uh…what the hell do you think this is, stop n shop? Take your ass to the mall and buy your own stuff and stop stretching mine!" Mercedes stated before getting up and snatching the hat off her head and placing it back in the closet. "Look, if I'm being honest, I can't lie and say that I haven't thought about calling him. It's just when I think about I realize this is probably for the best. He was my patient and I already crossed major lines with him...I just hate the way he did it though." She sighed as she looked over at Unique.
"Girl, men are scum! Take it from me…I know… c'mere girl!" Unique pulled her friend in for a hug then pulled her away. "How about we go out tonight and paint the town purple?" Mercedes shook her head. Even though it was Friday night, she really just wanted to sit in front of the TV and listening to her 90's R&B radio.
"I don't know, Unique! I really just want to curl up on the couch like a baked potato." She frowned as Unique pushed her towards the stairs away from the couch. "Ughhhhh!"
"Come on, I will not take no for an answer! We haven't gone out in a while! We just stay in and sing and that is getting boring! Plus, there's a pair of heels in the closet I saw that I really wanna try and squeeze into!" Unique smiled but stopped when there was a knock at the door. "Ugh, make them get lost while I go try on those shoes." She shouted as Mercedes skipped over to the door. Normally she hated when she got unannounced guest knocking but she felt maybe this would distract Unique.
"One minute, please!" Mercedes shouted as she unlocked the door and paused when she saw Sam standing there with his hands in his pocket smiling shyly at her. "Sam!"
"Mercedes, you think I can squeeze my size 10's into your 8 and a half heels with the sparkles?" Unique asked then paused when she noticed the tall blonde man standing at the door.
Sam fiddled with the business card as he spaced out thinking about what excuse he could use to call her. He'd gone over this many times and each time he'd punk out. He'd successfully called her at the office but he missed her by a few minutes. He wished he'd bump into her while he went to see Dr. Anderson. He knew the moment he entered the room that he wouldn't return for another session with Dr. Anderson. Sam felt weird with explaining his urges when the doctor was practically eye sexing him. So instead of answering questions about himself he asked questions about Mercedes and why she referred him. Wondering if she wrote down in his file that she dropped him like a bad habit.
"Do you feel uncomfortable speaking with me about it? Would you rather lie down?" Blaine had asked. Sam remembered shaking his head and walking right out of his office and not returning. He needed to see Mercedes. He didn't want to see any other doctor. He was comfortable with her already and he already expressed that he wasn't interested in seeing anyone else.
"So I was online researching prosthetic legs and I stumbled upon a website that has created robotic legs for people like me. The price was extremely expensive so I went on Craigslist and found one for like $50…Sounds like a great deal, right?" Artie asked as Sam spaced out and continued to twirl the card in his hand.
"Yeah…yeah…sure bud…do that!" Sam replied. Artie knew he wasn't paying attention so he purposely asked him something that made no sense to see if he'd catch it. Artie smiled as he knew just what to say to get his attention.
"So….I've been sleeping with Brittany for a few days now." He stated then watched as Sam dropped the card from his hand and looked Artie's way.
"Wait…what?" Sam asked hearing just the tail end of his sentence. Artie laughed and shook his head. "Did you really?"
"Sam, you're no help to me here if you're busy daydreaming!"
"Did you really, though?"
That's besides the point…what we really need to know is when are you going to stop fiddling with that card and call Dr. Jones?"
"Wait, how do you know about Dr. Jones?" Sam asked.
"Well, every day this week after lunch you keep asking Rory if you have any miss calls and when he says no…you remind him that if Dr. Jones call to put her through immediately." Artie stated before laughing. "You got it bad, my friend!" Sam remembered feeling disappointed that she didn't even call to check on him.
"Have I really been that obvious?" he asked as Artie nodded and fixed his glasses. Sam sighed and ran his thick fingers through his dirty blonde hair then fixed his eyes on his friend. These were the main reasons he hated dealing with the aftermath of having feelings for someone. He really didn't need to be distracted in the middle of the deal with Microsoft. "What should I do? This is all new to me." He asked his friend desperately. Artie rolled his wheelchair over to Sam's desk and picked up the phone handing it to him.
"You give her a call at the office and tell her you'll be stopping by." Artie stated with a smile. He frowned when Sam took the phone from him and hung it up.
"She's not there…I called and was told by her assistant that I had just missed her." He frowned as Artie chuckled.
"Well then the next step is to surprise her at her doorstep."
"No…that's a bad idea…her fiancé tried to pull something like that and I am pretty sure she threw a chair at him…or maybe he kicked it." He replied trying to remember what he heard at dinner. "Either way, I can't take the chance."
"Look, she's already not talking to you. You obviously did something or she's having one of those woman things when they suddenly become moody. The thing is…you have already hit rock bottom so there's nowhere else to go but up." Artie smiled and rolled over to where he had his coat hung and then held it up to him. "What's the worst that can happen?"
"She could call the cops on me. She could have a man over there. She could kill me." Sam added as he grabbed his briefcase and took the coat and followed Artie out of the office. "If you don't see me here Monday, she has killed me in the worse way!"
"Or maybe in the best way!" Artie added causing Sam to smirk.
Sam shifted as he stood at the door and smiled at her. He didn't realize how nervous he was until he saw her not smile back his way. The last time they stood at this doorway he had pulled her in for a kiss wishing her a great day at work. Now, they both stood staring at each other as a friend of hers charged towards the doorway in one of Mercedes heels. Sam couldn't tell if she was happy to see him or not as she stood by the door expressionless.
"Oh hell no…is this the guy that broke your heart, Mercedes?" Unique asked taking one of the heels off and walking Sam's way menacingly.
"Unique!" Mercedes turned to her friend and raised her hand. "Ain't nobody's heart broke!" she replied then turned to look at Sam after placing her hand on her hip and the other on the door. "Sam, what are you going here?"
"I needed to talk to you in private."
"What happened? Your phone broke? Bill ain't paid? You couldn't email or text her?" Unique charged. Mercedes turned once again to her friend placed her hands on Unique's shoulders.
"Look, how about we rain check tonight?"
"Are you really going to…"
"Just for tonight…we can go out and do whatever you like and you can keep those shoes." Mercedes said smiling and watched Unique frown. Unique looked over at Sam and rolled her eyes before forcing a smile at Mercedes.
"Boo, you whore! These heels are cute but you know damn well my feet too big for them." She sashayed away grabbing her bag and dropping the shoes. "I know when I'm not wanted!" she rolled her eyes before kissing Mercedes on the cheek and then looked at Sam. "You hurt her…and I will hurt you!" Unique threatened before leaving. Mercedes moved to the side allowing Sam to enter the house and locking the door behind him and following him to the living room. Her radio was still playing music and if Sam wasn't there she would have most definitely jumped in and sang as Lauryn Hill crooned about the Ex-Factor.
"So that's Unique huh? Definitely unique person that one." He chucked and watched her turn slowly before leaning on the couch and crossing her arms. "I like this song, Lauryn Hill right? She's the one that sang the Doo Wop song too right?" he asked nodding then frowning when he noticed that she was still not replying or smiling. On the way to her house he had practiced what he would say when he saw her but the moment she opened the door it all vanished. "So, um yeah…I came to apologize about the letter."
"You mean the card?" Mercedes corrected. Sam frowned unsure of what she was talking about. "Yeah, you should apologize!" he was shocked to see how upset she was over it.
"Yeah, I guess it was a bit too soon to send you something like that…but I wanted you to know that's all. That was my only intention."
"Well, it was soon! You couldn't wait a couple more sessions before throwing that at me? Give us at least more time."
"My mom always told me time shows no love." He replied smiling and walking closer to her. "Don't you want to apologize as well?"
"For what?" she asked raising her eyebrows at him. As far as she was concerned she did nothing that merited an apology.
"For transferring me to Blaine Anderson without a call…text…email…I haven't heard from you in a week. Was my letter that bad? It was only 3 sentences but I really meant every one of them." Sam stated.
"Are you serious right now? You requested that I transfer you to Dr. Anderson and I didn't call just like you never called either!" she retorted as she walked over to where she had the card laying on the table.
"I didn't call because I thought you were upset with me especially after hearing that you cancelled all my appointments!" he stated after following her.
"I DID WHAT YOU REQUESTED!" she shouted as held the card in front of him. Instead of looking at the card he pulled her to him and pressed his lips on hers. He held her hand, slowly pushing the card out to link his with hers. With his free hand he held her close until she pushed him away causing his back to hit the wall lightly. "Sam, you can't just kiss me and think I'm going to forget…"he stopped her again pulling her close and kissing her. He gradually allowed his hand to move up till it was cupping her face. Mercedes was upset with him but she couldn't stop herself from inching up and kissing him back, placing her hands on his as they deepened the kiss. He pulled away still cupping her face he stared into her almond shaped brown eyes and then closed his as he apologized again.
"I'm sorry okay…whatever I did…I'm sorry!" he placed another kiss on her lips slowly and gradually picking up intensity. Mercedes smiled into his lips as she listened to Maxwell sing about a Woman's worth. She tugged on his tie pulling it off and then moved to his shirt. They rolled once more down the hallway near the guest bedroom as she threw his shirt to the ground. Sam reached up under her crop top tee and grabbed a handful of her breast teasing the nipples as he moved from her lips to her neck. They rolled once more as she had him pinned to the wall she tugged at his belt buckle and moaned as she felt his hands groping at her ass. Remembering the last time they had sex and wanting to make sure the night went well she decided to take the reins and pulled him into the guest bedroom and pushed him down on the bed. She couldn't hide that she missed him as she straddled him and just gazed into his eyes. He reached up and caressed her face and smiled as she placed one of his fingers in her mouth and sucked on it then making it slowly slide down her midsection till it was between her thighs. Sam's eyes widened as he felt how wet she was as she grinded on his fingers. She was ready for him and she could feel that he was ready for her but she knew she had to take her time with him. Tonight she planned to teach him how to love a woman the right way.
