We Can Do This….Forever

Chapter 3: Dinner with the Parents

Mercedes fell asleep in Sam's lap after a little while. He didn't mind; He loved to have the love of his life in his arms. He always couldn't believe she was his. Mercedes was perfect in Sam's eyes. She was just so flawless to him. Sam didn't want to wake her up but he had to. They had to get over to the Jones' house for dinner with the parents. They knew they couldn't be late or they would get in trouble for being inconsiderate of Family time. So Sam decided to kiss her awake. He kissed her neck several times before she began to ster. She opened her eyes and smiled when she remembered she was in Sam's arms before she fell asleep.

"Hey beautiful," Sam smiled down on her.

"Hey handsome," Mercedes smiled up at him.

He just loved the way her brown eyes looked in the sun. All he shall was an angel. She also loved his green eyes and felt like every time she looked into them she was put in a trance. Sam was the most perfect thing she had ever seen. Then Mercedes remembered they had to be at her parents' house. She jumped out of his lap and grabbed his hand so they could go and not be late.

"Babe slow down!" Sam said when they got back into the house.

"Bye everyone!" Mercedes yelled as she gathered all her stuff.

"Aww why do you have to go," Rachel came up to them.

"Dinner with parents," Mercedes hugged people bye.

She was rushing out of the house to Sam's car. Sam laughed as she sat by the car making hand signals for him to run faster. The Jones lived about 5 minutes away but it was 5:56 so Sam was going to have to make it a 4 minute drive. Nothing was said while Sam was driving because Mercedes didn't want him to slow down. Good thing right on 6:00 they were on the front porch ringing the door bell.

Mercedes' Mom came to the door. "Right on time, we were about to call," Mrs. Jones reached out for the two of them to give her a hug.

"Momma I missed you," Mercedes hugged her mom hard. She hadn't seen her parents in awhile.

"Aww baby we missed you too but I think Sam missed you the most." Sam nodded his head at the comment. Martha kissed Mercedes on the cheek.

Martha Jones and Daniel Jones were successful people in Ohio. Daniel Jones was a lawyer and Martha was a business owner. They had three kids including Mercedes. Two boys and a girl. Daniel was a very formal man who speaks his mind and Martha was very sweet and careful women. Mercedes got her charm from her dad and her thoughtfulness from her mom.

Mercedes missed the warmness and smell of her home. She missed her family too. Sometimes it made her think why she went all the way to L.A. Why didn't she stay in Ohio and went to college there.

Dwight and Mary practically ran Mercedes over. They were so happy to see their future daughter in Law.

"Mercedes, Darling how have you been," She smiled at Mercedes and winked at Sam.

"I've been very good," Mercedes replied as she hugged Sam's dad.

"Well that's good Sweetie," Mary pinched Mercedes cheek. Sam loved that Mercy was loved by his parents. They always told him, she was the one. Mary and Dwight never did not like Mercedes. Ever since the first family dinner with both the families, everybody knew Sam and Mercedes would be together for a long time.

"Where are Peter and DJ," Mercedes asked looking around for her brothers.

"Well Peter went to Miami with his friends for spring break and DJ and Millie are on a cruise."

"Momma I wanted to see them when I came down. This would have been the only time I could." Mercedes pouted. Everybody in the room thought it was adorable. She missed her brothers a lot now she was out of the house.

"It's ok Sweetie," Margret said as she led everyone to the Dining room table so they could eat. Mercedes sat by Sam. Dwight and Mary across from them and Margret and Daniel at the ends of the table. Then Daniel Jones entered the room once everyone was seated.

"Good afternoon family," Daniel waved at everybody as he sat down.

"Hi Daddy," Mercedes smiled at him.

"Hi Princess," Daniel smiled back at his beautiful daughter.

Daniel was the hardworking type. He stayed at the office all day and if he wasn't in the office he was in his home office.

"I missed you pumpkin"

"I missed you more daddy," Mercedes blew a kiss to him.

"Mercedes can you say the blessing?" Margret asked as everyone began to hold hands.

God is great, God is good

Let us thank you for our food

Bow our heads we must pray

Give us Lord our Daily bread

Amen

"Dig in!" Margret said. Once everybody had their food and were eating they began to ask Mercedes all the questions.

"How's college been baby girl?" Dwight asked.

"It's been okay. Classes are going good. I joined a band and my grades are looking good."

"Do you have any friends?" Dwight asked.

"No one other than Puck but he's my roommate so we see each other every day."

"I hope you and Puck are just friends," Daniel looked sternly at Mercedes. Margret raised her head from her plate not believing her husband just said that in front of Sam.

"What do you mean Daddy?" Mercedes asked her dad wide eye. Sam reached over to grab Mercedes hand. He could tell that Mercedes was not happy with what her dad said. Daniel did that sometimes. He would say things that he knew would be the start of a situation.

"You know what I mean, I just hope you and Puck are doing nothing more than being roommates in two separate rooms," Daniel picked up a piece of steak and ate it looking into Mercedes mad face.

"Daniel Stop," Margret said.

Not only was Mercedes upset now but Sam was too. Things like could Mercy be sleeping with Puck were entering into his mind. He knew that Mr. Jones never really liked him and he never knew exactly why.

"You and Puck always looked like you two had a thing for each other. I mean didn't you guys date," Daniel reached for more food as he said this. Everyone at the table had an awed expression like did this man just say that. Mercedes felt Sam's leg shaking. She grabbed tighter onto his hand but she felt him tense. Tears began to roll down her face.

"Mommy, May I please be excused from the table," Mercedes looked over to her mom in tears.

"Yes you may baby," Margret gave her daughter a sympathetic look. Mercedes left the table and went to her old bedroom. Sam followed behind.

Mercedes laid down on her bed. She began to cry. Things weren't suppose to be like this. Her visit back home was supposed to be happy. Sam walked up the stairs and stood in the doorway of her room.

"You don't have anything going on with Puck do you," Sam asked sadly. "Uggggg! Now you," Mercedes couldn't believe he just asked that. She got up and closed and locked the door in Sam's face. Same then noticed what he had asked. He knew his girlfriend was loyal.

"Baby, I'm sorry, I'm so stupid!" Sam knocked on the door.

"Go away Sam," Mercedes said into her pillow.

Sam sat down on the floor against her door. "Mercy I was wrong for even asking that. What your dad said made me question it. I know you would never do anything with Puck or cheat on me. I want your time back in Lima to be filled with sunshine and happy times. Mercedes Evelyn Jones, I love you," Sam talked into the cracks of her door. He smiled when he heard her unlock the door and go back to lie down.

"There's my baby," Sam went over onto the bed to lied next to her. "Mercy, Are you ok?" Sam pushed her hair behind her ears so he could see her face.

Mercedes began to cry again. "I came down here to see you and have this beautiful reunion. I wanted to spend a nice week with you, drama free. But NO." She put her head back into the pillow. Sam knew he had to do something special for her this weekend but right now his focus was on comforting her. Sam pulled Mercedes closer to him. He laid his head in the crook of her neck and breathed her scent in. He kissed her neck all over. She began to giggle.

"Sam stop!" Mercedes said laughing.

"Not until you lift your head up from the pillow and let me see your beautiful smile." Sam said kissing her neck some more. She finally gave in and looked at Sam with the most beautiful smile. "That's what I'm talking bout, baby you are so beautiful."

Mercedes kissed Sam chastely on the lips. Sam wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to his chest. She kissed him again as she put her hand on his chest. "Mmmm Mercy I missed this," Sam said running his hand slowly up and down her leg.

"I missed this too Sammy." Mercedes put her hand on his cheek and began to kiss Sam passionately. His hand began to go everywhere down her back. He sucked on her bottom lip for permission to get in. She opened her mouth for him. They kissed each other breathless. Sam hovered over her so he could make the kisses deeper while Mercedes ran her hands up and down his back. Mercedes almost had his shirt off when….

"Sam, Mercedes come here," Dwight called from the stairs.

They stopped kissing. "Our parents have always been the worst interrupters." Mercedes just giggled at Sam's comment and ran out the room to the stairs. Sam ran after her.

"Yes sir," They said to Sam's dad in Unison.

"Your mother and I are leaving," Dwight said to Sam. "You can stay here till 10 and be at our house or you can stay the night at Burt and Carole's with everyone else." Mary came over to Sam and kissed his forehead and then kissed Mercedes on her cheek.

Dwight ruffled Sam's hair and kissed Mercedes' on her cheek. They left. Then all of the Sudden Daniel said from inside his office, "Sam I need to talk to you." Mercedes kissed Sam before he walked into the door to hell.
