90 Cents: Dinner with Tike

"Mike I don't like the fact you are setting me up. Mostly because I HATE being set up."

"You will be fine. She is a great girl and you will love her to pieces. She is the best female friend I have besides Tina."

"But Tina is your girlfriend…"

"It's not going to be like Puck's ex. Trust me. Even though this girl and Puck did go out a few times before she punched him in the face. Don't tell him I told you that story." I laughed a little at Mike's comment. Mike was right, I should just calm down and wait for my surprise date.

Here I was, 24 years old, ripped body, blond hair, green eyes, and my mother's smile and I had no girlfriend. Maybe it was the fact that when ever I get nervous, I start doing Michael Jackson impressions or talking about Star Wars. Mike, my best friend from College, had tried to set me up with a few girls he thought I might like, but none was the right one you know? None of them stood out for me as a person who I could talk about my favorite things with or who saw eye to eye with me. She needed to be perfect.

Mike's phone buzzed on the table letting him know he had a text message.

"Ah, it seems like the girls are here! Are you ready Sammy Boy?" Mike asked, patting me on the shoulder.

"Let's just get this out the way." I mumbled back. This night was going to be a disaster I just knew it. I sat up a little and put on my best fake smile on for the night.

"Hi Mike!" I heard Tina say. I watched her as she walked over to her boyfriend and kissed him. Those two were attached to the hip since high school according to Mike.

"All right already you too. Seriously, why are you making this awkward?" I looked up to see the owner of the voice, expecting her to be the regular blond skinny girl Mike usually pushed me too. But instead, I saw a beautiful chocolate brown woman with long wavy black hair and curves on every inch of her body. I quickly turned to Mike were he smirked at me and gestured to the woman in front of me.

"You must be Samuel." The beautiful woman said. Okay I have to take it slow since I wasn't sure if she would be dumb like the rest.

"Yes and you must be…"

"Mercedes Jones, nice to meet you Samuel. Looks like we are stuck with the Asian power couple tonight."

"Yeah. How long have you known them?" I asked her as she sat down next to me at the table. Tina sat between Mercedes and Mike, moving just a little closer to him so she could talk to him.

"I've known the two since high school. I'm visiting New York to see Mike's show that he choreographed. Are you going?"

"Yeah, I wouldn't miss it for the world. So that means you know Noah Puckerman too?"

"Puck? Yeah we dated for a week and then I punched him in the face when he tried to get fresh with me."

"Wait, you are the legendary girl who shall not be named?" This was the girl who put Puck in his place?

"I guess. Does he still hate to talk about it?" she asked me taking a sip of her water.

"Yep, still does. He is always like 'Sam, you know that is forbidden dude!'" I said in my best Puck impression. I noticed what I did and froze. Girls think that impressions are stupid. Damn it.

"Oh wow, that was so good! Can you do another one?" She said laughing. I turned my gaze to Mike and Tina and saw them look impressed on how well we were getting along.

"How about this one!" I barely yelled and did my best Michael Jackson voice telling her that I heard the steak was "bad" here and that she should try it. She laughed even more which made me blush a little.

"Boy you should do comedy! I would totally see you every night if you did." She said wiping her eyes with her napkin.

"You would come see me?"

"Well maybe not just for the comedy, maybe I could get some one on one time to play Uno or something with you." She winked.

"I could crush your ass in a game of Uno. I have two younger siblings."

"Oh yeah? Try an older brother and a younger brother who forces you to learn made up languages."

"Like what?"

"Elvish and Na'vi are the main two. I can beat your ass by just playing in Na'vi alone."

"Miss Jones you are a Goddess." I bowed down to her in my seat. She laughed a little more and the rest of the evening went on without me breaking out my fake smile again. Sadly the night ended quickly and all I wanted to do was spend more time with her. I offered to walk Mercedes home and she agreed. We said good-bye to Tina and Mike, who both gave me thumbs up, and I walked her back to her hotel. Even the walk for me was way to quick since we both kept talking and laughing.

"Thanks so much for tonight. You were great company Samuel."

"Please, how many times do I have to tell you? It's Sam."

"Well Sam thank you. You were a real gentleman tonight."

"I wasn't raised in the south for nothing."

"I can see that." We were both quiet for the first time not knowing what to do or say. I wanted to go up with her and spend some more time with her but I knew that that thought was just pushing it a bit much.

"I want to ask you if you wanted to come up but I feel that's going a little too far considering we just met." She said. I perked up a little hearing that she had the same thoughts as me. I smiled softly at her and told her I what I was thinking as well.

"Well if you want, I have the 10th Doctor on DVD that my brother let me borrow. If you want we can watch a few episodes?"

"You watch the Doctor?" I asked her.

"Like I said, I have no choice with two brothers." She said smiling at me.

"Mercedes, I just want to say now that you better get use to me being around you because you are defiantly the most perfect girl for me and you are not leaving my life." I leaned down and kissed her, not caring if we just met four hours again. I couldn't stay away from her. There was no way that I was letting her leave me. No matter where she would be, I would follow her; But not in a creepy way.

"Well then Sam," she said after pulling back from my kiss. "If that kiss was any indication that you are perfect for me too, then we should head on up and get started. I feel like watching Doctor Who would be much more exciting this time around." She winked at me and headed into the hotel.

I sent a silent pray of thank you to Mike and then ran behind her. This was the start of the rest of my life.
