The next day in Glee Club rehursal Mercedes sat waiting for the 'Late Nick Mitchell' as she would now call him. Last night he has been kind and curteous with offering to help her bring her things home, but it had annoyed her, usually while walking home she would blast her iPod and drown out the day's worries with the music she listened to. Yesterday obviously that hadn't happened.
"Hey Mercedes!" she heard Nick say.
Her head quickly snapped to the direction that his voice came from, Nick had a huge smile on his face and wavved to her a little to happily.
"Nick" she said, trying to hide a smirk at his wave.
He paused for a second where he was standing and then sat down beside her. "Have you thought of any songs for us to sing?" he asked, putting his bag on the floor underneath his chair.
Mercedes thought for a second – trying to remember what song she had selected. "I was thinking we could maybe to Moves like Jagger by Maroon 5?" she said holing onto the sides of her seat.
She could see Nick thinking, "I've never heard it" he confessed.
Mercedes' jaw dropped,"You haven't!" she paused taking out her iPod and selecting the song. "Here" –she said handing him the head phones. Nick put them in hastilly, not wanting to miss the song.
Mercedes watched as his head bobbed and his lips puckered, a sign he was enjoying the song until he suddenly put his elbow on his knee and rested his head in his hand. He looked as though he was thoroughly listening to the song now.
"It's good, I like it" he told her, "But.."
"But.." Mercedes said, crossing her arms.
"Isn't it a little suggestive though?" he asked her,
Mercedes laughed, "That's the point its Mick Jagger, we're doing it" she told him taking the head phones from him.
Nick smiled, a glimmer appearing in his eyes, "Fine what ever you say" he told her smirking.
Later on in the day while Mercedes was at her locker, she saw Santana come her way, her slut strut going on. 'what does she want' she thought to herself as she closed her locker.
"Hello Santana" she said flatly.
She saw the cheerleader do her bitchy smile/nod/ eyeroll. " Look Mercedes, you are hogging that pretty boy, it's time to star sharing" Santana said to her.
She gave the cherrio her "What" look, "Santana you can have him if you want him, I don't have any feelings for Nick so go right ahead" she told Santana and started to walk away.
"If nothings going on between you, than why does he look at you like hes in love with you?" Santana said, a suggestive tone in her voice.
At this Mercedes stopped walking, but decided to not give Santana the attention she was craving, she just kept walking, strait to History.
Her phone buzzed as she entered the classroom, she opened up her cell to see a text from Nick, 'Mercedes when do you want to meet?' , She sighed and put her books on ther desk and started to reply, 'Idk Nick you choose, when&where' She thought that was short enough. A second later her cell phone buzzed again. 'Auditorium tomorrow night six oclock', at this Mercedes shook her head, did he even know if the auditorium was open on a Friday night at six?, 'I guess I'll find out huh…' .
Friday afternoon Mercedes was a little bit ancy, not that she was looking forward to hanging out with Nick in an auditorium for a few hours rehursing a sexually suggestive song, but the fact that they were the only ones doing a up beet song made her want to make it even better, fiercer – if that was even possible.
She was just about to open the doors to the Auditorum when she heard a familiar voice behind her, "You came early to huh?" – It was Nick, She rolled her eyes and looked at him.
He was wearing black skinny jeans with a red plaid button up shirt and dark navy cardigan, he had a iPod docking station in his hands. Mercedes could feel herself smiling and immedietly stopped 'Get your head out of the clouds 'cedes hes just a boy who your doing a suggestive duet with!' .
"Yea, I'm always early" she told him, crossing her arms.
Nick smiled and walked past her and grabbed the door, "So am I, after you" He motioned to the empty auditorum with his head.
"Are you ready to do this?" He asked her, placing the iDock down and putting his iPod in it.
Mercedes placed her purse down in the middle of the stage. "Yes, as ready as ever!" she said, moving and standing behind him.
"What re you doing?" He asked her.
"Look I figured it out, If you sing this while im sitting in the front row, and it comes my part I can get up and you know show off my voice!" she told him, grabbing the Piano bench and sitting on it.
"Now move like Jagger" she told him.
Nick just rolled his eyes and laughed, and did a weird dance move.
"You're never going to stop trying to impress me are you?" she asked him.
Nick smirked, a glimer in his eyes . "Never".
