Chapter 6 by Yinx
"Sam"!
The scream took me out of my thoughts "What" I asked looking up at Blaine, Santana, and Rachel.
"Santana has been saying her lines for ten minutes now with no response from you" Blaine frown at me. I sat in the front row of the theater. We were running our lines for Blaine's version of the Broadway play Legally Blonde. I guess I was really lost in thought as I looked up at the angry faces.
"Sorry uh run it again" I shrugged
"Seriously, Sam what's up which you" Santana began. I rolled my eyes and waited for the bitching to beginning.
"It's Mercedes" Blaine said putting a halt on her beginning rant.
"Wait what Mercedes is back in town" Rachel gasped looking form me to Blaine.
Blaine and I both nodded.
"Are you two back together" Santana asked I noticed that her tone was less hostile more hopeful.
"No" I answered her
"Why the hell not" tone was back.
"She's um…" I didn't know what to say I starred blankly at them.
"She has a lot on her plate right now" Blaine stepped in for me
"How so" Rachel asked
Blaine looked at me there was something told me that he knew more about her situation than I did. "It just drama" he said waving it off casually.
"Well drama is my middle name" Rachel said smiling. "Where is she staying we should go over and say hello"
She and Santana nodded.
"I don't think that's a good idea" Blaine said.
"Why not" Santana asked as she nodded to Rachel they both began ganging up on Blaine
"Ladies it's not my business to tell".
"Fine do you at least know her number" Rachel asked.
Blaine sighed "I can't but I can tell you that she with Kurt and Mason at Venus park".
The girls squealed and kissed his cheek and started to leave.
"Hey we have rehearsal still" Blaine called after them. He looked at me "Go on Sam might as well" he shook his head
I smiled and thanked him.
I arrived at the park a few minutes after the two nosey women. I sat in my car watching them hug Mercedes. Then I saw Mercedes introduce them to Vivi who was playing with Mason. The shock read on their faces as well. They talked for a few more minutes then pulled out their phones and exchanged numbers.
I sighed even though I had gotten her number from the school office I wanted her to give it to me. I saw them leave. I got out and walked over to them
"Hey Sam" Kurt said to me smiling.
"Hi Sam" Mercedes said.
"Hey guys" I smiled as I sat down on the other side of her.
"What are you doing here" Kurt asked
"I wanted to hang out with Aramis and Athos" I smiled I placed my arm behind Mercedes on the bench
"Loved to, Porthos, but we actually are about to leave Mercedes has a thing with her sister but we were going to have dinner at my house if you want to come" Kurt offered.
"Sounds like a great time I'd love to come" I smiled at them.
Kurt got up and called Mason and said good bye to us. I felt Mercedes move closer to me a put her head on my shoulder. I wrapped my arm around her and pulled her closer.
"Mercedes, can I pick you and Vivi up tonight" I asked her.
"Why would you do that" she looked up at me.
I shrugged nonchalantly "Because I want to and just to spend time with you and Vivi".
She starred at me I guess trying to figure me out. She nodded and said "Okay".
"Can I have your number so I call you, so I can tell you when I'm on my way"?
She nodded and got her phone out I told her the number and she called me.
"Good now I got you in my pocket" I smiled at her hearing my phone ring.
She laughed "You're so silly, Sam".
I smiled as she moved back into my arms.
"I'm sorry, Sam" she whispered she was watching Vivi play on the monkey-bars.
"For what" I asked looking down at her.
"For breaking up with you and for breaking your heart" she continued in the quiet voice.
I lift her head so she could she could look at me "Mercedes, I forgave you a long time ago. It's up to you if you want to pick up where we left off or we can start new. Which one Mela"?
I saw her thinking "You still want me"?
"Now and always" I stroked her cheek just the feel of her back in my arms made my heart leap for joy.
"But I'm damaged goods Sam you need someone that…" she tried to moved out of my arms but I held her to me.
"No Mercedes I don't want anyone else." I bent head down and kissed her softly. "I have always wanted and will want you. I love you, still". I kissed her again this time more deeply I nibbled on her bottom lip and she opened up to me. I lost myself in her as I pulled her close I felt her arms wrapped around my neck and her hands in my hair pulling at it making me groan. Though I so wanted to I kept my hands to her back but couldn't resisted giving her butt a pinch hearing her moan her response.
"Hey, hey, HEY"!
We broke the kiss to see Vivi standing in front of us. Mercedes scrambled out of my arms and I didn't like the feeling at all.
"Yes, um sorry did you want something Vivi" Mercedes said I saw her ears redden as she wiped her mouth avoiding my gaze.
"He isn't Daddy you only supposed to kiss Daddy" Vivi said she crossed her arms and glared at me.
I tried to keep from laughing because Vivi was the spitting image of Mercedes when she's angry.
"Um… yes well… daddy and I aren't together anymore I told you that.
"Because he hit…" Vivi began.
Mercedes grabbed her daughter and walked off "I can't make it tonight Sam, sorry" she yelled at me over her shoulder.
I watched them go then went to get into my own car.
"Call Kurt" I said to my sync system.
"Hey Sam"
"Did he abuse her, Kurt" I asked my hand squeezed the steering wheel so tight my knuckles turned white.
There was silence at the other end.
"Kurt" !
"There is so much more to the story, Sam, I'm sorry but it's not my place to tell" he said quietly.
I could feel my blood boil. I hung up on him and punched my steering wheel. I heard my phone ring. It was Kurt I hit ignore. I saw Mercedes number and I programed it into my phone then drove home. I sat on my couch watching TV when the doorbell rang; it was Kurt."
"What…" I started.
"Don't start with me Sam, I can't tell you anything, but I do want to say is that Mercedes does deserve the right to not have her whole business aired out like laundry. She has the right to tell you herself. When that will be I don't know, but it's not my place" he said to me.
My shoulders sagged "I know I'm sorry for hung up and shit… I just…I kissed her" Kurt's squeal made my teeth grind. "We got caught by Vivi and Vivi just told on her and her father" I sighed leading him into the house.
"Sam, I'm sorry you had to find out this way" he patted my shoulder as we sat down.
"I told her I love her"
"What did she say back" he asked.
I shook my head "I didn't give her chance to respond I kissed her after that" I chuckled
"May be you could wait a couple of seconds before in gulfing her into that mouth of yours" he laughed.
I nodded smiling.
"You will do well to know that I talked her into coming again tonight" Kurt said proudly.
"Really thanks dude" I gave him a hug.
"Sam don't pounce on her, give her time and she will come to you" he said wisely when I let go.
"I won't but the only thing I want is to pounce on her dickhead of an ex-husband."
"You, me, and Blaine both."
