Hi. Thanks for the Reviews, Favs, and Follows. They are great and I really appreciate them. So the way the rest of this story will read is I will take their weekend day by day. I'm thinking two chapters for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and one for Sunday. So here is the first chapter for Thursday or the start of their vacation. It will get steamier as it goes on.
As always: Read, Enjoy, and Review.
Thursday Morning:
"What do you think about this one?"
Mercedes looked up to find her mother holding up a red wrap dress made of jersey ready for her daughter's approval or dismissal.
Mercedes scrunched her face as she quickly ran through the heels she watched her mother pack for the weekend before smiling "Yep that will work"
Her mother quickly tossed the dress to Mercedes for her to neatly fold and roll, placing it gently into her mother's weekend bag. "Well I think that's it for clothes" her mother sighed as she moved on to accessories. "So do you have any plans for your "Parent free weekend"?" Her mother joked as she moved to her jewelry box.
"According to daddy, I'm not allowed to make plans. It may be against the rules" she smirked as she plopped down on to her parent's bed.
"Oh Mercedes, you know your father" Her mother huffed as she picked through her pieces gathering earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. "In his eyes, you will always be his baby girl, so he's just very protective of you. It's okay to have company over, even if it's a boy, just no co-ed sleepovers in this house" her mother emphasized as she turned to look at her teen daughter. "And yes, even if there is no sleeping, if there is a boy over past twelve, it is a sleepover"
"Mamma I'm not crazy" Mercedes looked back her mother "besides whom would I have over" she shrugged.
"Kurt, Quinn, Tina, Rachel" her mother answered attempting to go through her mental rolodex for her child's friends.
"Busy running behind Blaine, busy avoiding me and dying her hair, Asian Camp, and just crazy" Mercedes listed on her fingers.
"Well what about Sam" he mother sang in a playful tone and a smile that indicated romantic teasing.
"Mommy, I told you, Sam and I are just friends" Mercedes sighed. Mercedes had spent the better part of her summer convincing her parents that she and Sam where nothing more than friendly companions. Agreeing that they would keep their relationship under wraps until it had time to grow, they both decided to keep their parents in the dark. However, it became harder and harder to pass the handsome blonde as nothing more than a buddy to her parental units, especially her father who eyed Sam suspiciously every time he turned up at his door step. She suspected her father liked Sam, using him as a surrogate son while her brother was away on his internship for the summer, taking the time to talk Sports, and other guy things she held no personal interest in, whenever he stopped by to visit. But he still was very leery about boys being around his daughter. Mercedes knew for a fact that if her father knew that Sam was her actual boy friend and not just a boy who was a friend, she would be packing her bags to head to his dental conference too.
"I know, I know" her mother waived off. She was less convinced that her daughter could spend so much time with such a charming young man and not feel a twinge of like for him. "But is he stopping by while we are gone?" she asked attempting to show nonchalant in her daughter's answer.
"I don't know" Mercedes shrugged hoping to play off the fact that she knew once her parents left she would be preparing her own bag for her own weekend getaway. "I think he may have to work"
"That poor child" her mother sighed pressing her lips together. "I know he must be exhausted. Working all of those doubles, and coming home to watch the kids. I pray every night his parents find work"
"Yeah, me too" Mercedes sighed in genuine agreement. She often wondered how her summer would be if she and Sam could spend even more time together without him having to dash off to work, or watch his younger siblings. She would at times drift off in a smile as she imagined a world where she and Sam could just lounge around alone with no other responsibilities clouding their schedules. She took a deep breath as she realized that her daydreams would soon be a reality in a few hours. "But they'll find something" she quickly added pulling her self back to the task of assisting her mother pack.
"I hope so. It must kill his mother to see her baby be forced to grow up so fast"
"Mamma, we're not babies. He's 18, practically an adult" Mercedes sighed.
"I know, but this is the summer of senior year. The time you should be out hanging out and getting into some sort of trouble. Not attempting to find a way to help keep your families finical head from going under." Her mother explained. "He's seems like such a good boy, and I hate to see him struggling. So if you can see if you guys can't hang out a little this weekend okay?" her mother asked. "He deserves a little fun"
Mercedes fought the urge to blurt out that he was more than a good boy. That he was amazing, kind, and gentle young man, that he made her feel lighter than air, and that she was her happiest when she was with him. However, she knew a confession at this time put her whole plan in jeopardy. So she made the decision at that moment that she would tell her mother about her and Sam, but only after her parents got back from their trip. She instead chose to nod while going into the bathroom to help gather her mother's toiletries for the trip adding "I'll try" as she hid a knowing smile.
"Okay Mercedes" he father said sternly after he'd assisted the car service driver in packing the car with her and her mother's bags. "No boys"
"Not even if the house is burning down and the firefighters are men. It will have to be an all girl squad" she joked sarcastically.
"Oh, funny" her father retorted. "But I wouldn't joke like that while I'm still here and can call off the trip" he responded
"No boys daddy, got it" she sighed straightening out her act.
"No drinking" He listed next.
"And I've told you Mr. Shue already shut that down with our contracts" Mercedes reminded
"Right" he nodded "And no parties"
"Well without booze and boys that would be a lame party anyway" she smiled
"Alright, the number to the hotel and all of our information is on the fridge" he smiled as he walked towards the door "And you know you can always reach us on our cell phones. Now the fridge is packed so you should be fine with food. We've also left you some money for gas, going out, or whatever you need" he hugged her as he opened the front door. "Just be careful" he sighed into her hair.
"I will daddy" she smiled in her sweetest voice.
"And follow your father's rules" her mother smiled as she hugged her, giving her a wink indicating that the rules they agreed upon while she was packing where the ones her mother expected to hold her to. "And call us if you need anything"
"I will mommy" she smiled adoring the fact that her mother still remembered what it was like to be a teenage girl. "You guys have fun" Mercedes yelled from the door as she waived her parents off. She closed the door behind her promptly locking it after watching the car drive off. She smiled and skipped up stairs to her room to pack for her own adventure.
Thursday Afternoon:
Sam watched his Chucks as they stride across the pavement. He said good bye to his family a half an hour ago and was done packing within fifteen minutes. Afterwards he tried to sit around and rest while he waited the two hours for Mercedes to pick him up. However, he felt too restless to sit around doing nothing. His body had become accustom to a rhythm of being always on the go. So he decided to take the twenty minute walk to her house from the motel. It was a clear and bright summer day, perfect for a stroll. He wanted to fight the feeling, but he was honestly excited to be getting something he didn't think he would be getting, and that was a vacation. Although the sad faces of his siblings as they drove off almost caused him to stop the car heading to Kentucky and hop in with them, he knew he needed a break from the crushing realities of his life, and Mercedes plan was offering that to him. The thought of uninterrupted alone time with the girl he loved in an almost secluded environment brought a goofy, optimistic smile to his face.
"Like" he reminded himself silently as he turned to corner on her block "You like Mercedes" he repeated, recalling to himself that he was attempting to give her time to figure out her feelings for him. He'd already made up his mind about being in love with her weeks ago, but he found it best not to rush her emotions. It was going to be a fight to not tell her how he felt, but he was determined make them last, and allow her to get to where he was emotionally at her own time.
He hopped up her front porch and took a deep breath as he played his mother's voice in his head begging him to "Slow down". He then rang her door bell and put on his most charming grin.
"Hey" she smiled and she practically leapt into his arm after she opened the door. "What are you doing here? I'm not due to pick you up for another hour and a half"
"I know" he shrugged as he made his way through her door with his bag over his shoulder and his guitar case in hand. "But I got restless and figured it would be easier for us to just leave from here together" He leaned in and kissed her soft lips, smiling against her as he sunk into her.
"Well you can watch me pack" she giggled as she walked back up stairs to her room, nodding for him to follow her. "Your parents gone?" she quizzed as she entered her room heading straight to her closet.
"Yep" he sighed "They think I have work at five, so they'll be calling me a little before then.
"Oh okay, well we should be nearing the house by the time they call then" she calculated as her eyes roamed over her wardrobe.
"What about yours?" he asked sitting his bag and instrument by her bedroom door, taking a seat in the chair by her desk.
"Their flight leaves at three so I expect them to call me when they land and when they make it to the hotel" she admitted while flinging a shirt on to her bed.
"And how far away is…" he trailed off indicating he wanted her to finish
"The lake house? Its two hours away" she smiled
"And it's your Aunts?" he questioned for clarification
"Well she lives the closet to it, but it's hers, my father, and their little brother. They all went in on it together when we were little" Mercedes smiled. "They wanted a place where the family could gather together on holidays or vacations. But with all of the children in the family getting older, and going away to college and stuff we don't use it much. They were going to sell it but…" Mercedes trailed off knowing if anyone knew about the results and the current housing market it was Sam.
"Yeah" was all he said, his eyes darkening a bit as he though to his old home and how he wished this family still had it.
"Well anyway, they normally rent it out, but there weren't too many renters this year so it's all ours for the weekend" she smiled.
"That sounds nice" Sam smiled. "But since your Aunt lives so close to it how do we know-"
"She won't pop up on us?" She asked finally turning her attention to her boyfriend's large green eyes. She walked over towards him leaning in close she smiled "Well, she is in Florida with my cousins, and my Uncle lives in California now with his second wife, and my parents are on their way to Phoenix. So I have you and the house to myself all weekend" she smiled as she placed a deep and searing kiss to his lips. Sam grabbed her hips, pulling her round ass to rest on his lap, as she cupped his cheeks in her soft brown hands. He wrapped his arms around her hips as he penetrated her mouth with his tongue. Mercedes kissed him back just as deeply, slowly sliding her hands down his neck onto his chest. Sam, enjoying their impromptu make-out, gently placed his hand on her knee, allowing it to slide up her leg closer to her jean covered mound.
"Oh okay" she pulled away feeling herself getting too lost in his kiss "I have to finish packing" she giggled "and this isn't helping"
"Or we can just stay here for the weekend" he smiled as he tighten his grip on her once he felt her attempting to stand. "You know just skip the lake all together, and just stay here, in this room, all weekend. You won't need clothes" he proposed sending spine shivering kisses up her neck near her ear with each word.
"Oh no" she smiled wiggling out of his grasp "I promised you a weekend getaway and a getaway you shall get"
"Fine" he pouted, as he felt the loss of warmth from her body as she stood to finish her initial task.
"We'll have fun I promise" she smiled over her shoulder.
"Well what can I do to help" he sighed still feeling uncomfortable sitting idle while Mercedes moved around her room.
"Well I already filled one of the coolers with ice. The ice maker should be done re-filling so you can go downstairs and fill the smaller two cooler with the new tray. I'm basically done here so I'll be down in a second, and we can pack all of the food up" she smiled.
Sam nodded and hopped from his seat leaving Mercedes to finish packing. Taking her stairs two at a time, he hopped onto the floor of her family foyer. Familiar with the layout of the house, he leisurely strolled into the kitchen. In front of the family refrigerator he found one large and two smaller coolers. He opened her freezer, and removed the full ice tray. Attempting to spread it evenly between the two containers, Sam bent over, carefully distributing the ice.
"Now that's a view I can get use to" Mercedes joked as she walked in on a bent over Sam.
With a small grin, Sam turned his head to find his girlfriend leaning on the counter near him smiling broadly. "Like what you see?" he joked giving her a little shake of his behind.
"Maybe" she smiled as she strolled closer to the tall blond as he stood up, turning towards her. She wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned in for a kiss. Wrapping his arms around her, Sam allowed his hands to slide down to her succulent ass, gripping it at its cuff.
"I will repeat we don't have to go" he wined, as he ground his hips into her.
"No, we're going" she smiled. "Plus I promised my mother no boy sleepovers in this house"
Sam sighed as he backed away from his smaller girlfriend, replacing the tray. "Well if you want to leave this house, then you have to stop kissing me like that" he warned.
"Deal" she smiled, as she passed him to get to the refrigerator. They worked as a team to pack away all of the perishable food her mother bought Mercedes the previous day, into the coolers. Packing everything from milk and bacon for breakfast, to stake, and chicken for dinner, their weekend menu was set. Next, Mercedes moved to the pantry, packing the non perishable food items into her families reusable grocery bags. She even made sure her mother, unknowingly, got some cereal that was Sam's favorite, and a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos.
"Well we're all set" Mercedes squealed excitedly as she closed the coolers. Sam lifted the larger container and one of the smaller ones and headed for the driveway, with Mercedes following closely behind toting the other small cooler in one hand, swooping her keys in her other hand as they walked out of the door. Pressing the button on her electronic keys, she popped the back hatch on her car. They placed all of the food in the car, and headed into the house to grab their bags.
"I'll grab our stuff, while you check the house and all of the doors" Sam smiled at the foot of her stairs.
"Great!" Mercedes smiled as she headed towards the back of her house to make sure the back door was bolted, while Sam headed upstairs to grab their luggage. By the time Mercedes had checked all of the doors and windows, and heading back to the front door, Sam was heading down with their things. Mercedes quickly put on the house's alarm, while Sam loaded the car.
"Ready?" Mercedes grinned to him once they were safely buckled into their seats.
"Yep" he beamed "let's do this"
