As Sam stood outside the front door with flowers in hand he overheard Mercedes talking on the phone.

"Yes, that's is correct the Evans-Jones party." there was a pause. "Yes, it has been called off."

Mercedes heard something at the front door turning around to see Sam standing at the screen door. She turned back around wiping her eyes and said in a low voice "I'm going to have to call you back. "Thank you." She hung up the phone, wiped her eyes again then turned to the door.

"Sam what are you doing here?" she asked as she opened the door.

"I came over to apologize for my behavior." Sam said as he handed her another huge bouquet of Daisies. "Are you okay?" he asked.

"I'm fine. Thank you for the flowers, they are my favorite" she said as she took the flowers

"I had roses at first but I had a feeling you would like these better." he said

"Well I do. Thank you again." she said. "But you didn't have to Sam."

"I enjoy getting them for you and I love the look on your face when I give them to you." he said feeling bold.

"Also I need you to forgive me, can you do that?" Sam asked pouting.

"Just act your age Sam, you're twenty-five and you need to start acting like it." said Mercedes frustrated with the whole situation.

"I will try. Can you give me another chance?" Not talking to her upset him a lot and he didn't understand why she has this effect on him.

"Why are you trying so hard to get me to forgive you?" Mercedes wondered.

Sam stood there trying to choose the right words, wanting to sound mature and decided to just go for it. "What the hell I'll just tell you how I feel.'' Sam said and took a step closer to her. "Mercedes when Mike told me I was engaged to you it scared the crap out of me, we had so many responsibilities, a wedding to plan, a business to run and bills, all I wanted to do was run. So I did, it scared me to know that someone loved me as much as you do."

He looked into her eyes. "And the moment I told you I wanted to break up, I wanted to take those words back. I didn't understand why but I just knew I didn't want you to go. I wanted to be with you." he stated honestly.

"So why not stop me from leaving then." she asked.

"Pride, my 17 year old cocky pride." Sam grunted, "I didn't think that I needed you or that I wanted you." Sam said with all honesty.

"So where's that pride now Sam?" she asked, she was taken aback at the confession but she still needed to get her point across. "I am too old to be playing childish games." she sassed

"It's done with. It hasn't gotten me anywhere." he said honesty.

"Okay Sam." said Mercedes looking at Sam trying to see if he was being truthful.

"Thank you Mercedes, you won't regret it." Sam had a big smile across his face. He kissed her on the cheek and left.

Mercedes stood at the door with her hand on her cheek smiling. 'May be we can start over.' she thought.

Later that night Sam was taking his truck out for a ride and found himself at his and Mercedes place, he felt at peace there. He sat in his truck for about 15 mins before he found his way to the front door and rang the bell.

"Who is it?" Mercedes yelled.

"It's me, Sam." Sam said nervously.

Mercedes open the door surprised to see Sam standing there. "Hi Sam."

"Sorry I didn't call... I was wondering if I can talk to you."

"Yes please come in." Mercedes opened the door wider so he could come in. "I was just relaxing." Closing the front door, Mercedes turned seeing the T.V. was still on, pushing pass Sam to get the remote to turn it off.

Sam watched Mercedes scramble for the remote to turn the movie off but it was too late, Sam saw that Mercedes was watching an old home of her and himself. "Was that us?" Sam asked.

"Uh, yeah it was." she said in a low voice.

"Oh." Said Sam. "Well can I watch to?" he asked.

Mercedes stared at him, this was the first time since the accident that Sam has shown any interest in their life together.

"Yes of course." Mercedes smiled, "Would you like something to drink? I have your favorite beer."

"Oh yeah I keep forgetting I can drink legally now." Sam stopped confused, "I have a favorite?"

"Yes, I'll get you one." Mercedes headed towards the kitchen. "Would you like anything else?" Mercedes yelled from the kitchen.

Sam sat there for a few seconds thinking how this house relaxed him so much, it felt like home. He felt more at home here then at his parents. "Uhmm yeah do you have any Cool Ranch Doritos."

At that moment Mercedes came out of the kitchen with the beers, Doritos and a dipping sauce.

"Wow, you read my mind." said Sam

"No, I just know my Super Sammy." Mercedes let her nickname for him slip out.

"Super Sammy?" Sam asked with a confused look on his face.

Mercedes blushed "I'm sorry that was one of my nick names for you."

"Don't be. I like it." said Sam reaching for a Doritos. "What's this dipping sauce?"

"That's blue cheese you like to dip your Doritos in it."

"I do? I don't usually eat blue cheese."

"You use to like it. Try it." said Mercedes

Sam opened the bag of chips and dipped a chip in to the blue cheese. "Mm-mm I like this."

"I told you it is one of favorite snacks." Mercedes smirked, "Try the beer."

"Mm-mm good, you must know me really well." Said Sam

"Well we were together for 4 years and lived together for 3 of those years." she said. "I know you better than you know yourself." Mercedes said as she ate a chip then realized what she had said. "Sam-" was all she said when Sam cut her off.

"See that is why I need to talk to you." said Sam, "My family knows the old Sam but you knew the real me, the adult Sam. The Sam before the accident. Who was I Mercedes?"

Mercedes and Sam looked though tons of pictures and movies of them together. They talked and laughed…they were up until the early morning.

Sam and Mercedes looked into each other eyes, Mercedes looked away shyly.

Sam cleared his throat "its 3 am I better head back to my parents."

"Okay, Sam can I ask you for a favor?" Looking sad, she looked down as she asked the question.

"Sure anything." he said.

"I hoped that after tonight you might have some memories of us, of me but... you didn't." she took a long deep breathe and continued. "Everyone has gotten a part of their Sam back, but I lost all of my Sam and I think I'm never going to get him back. It's been a while since the accident and you haven't had any kind of memories of your life with us." she said nervously" Will it be too much trouble if I say goodbye?"

"Goodbye?" Sam said with one raised eyebrow.

"Yes, to my Sammy…" She said looking him in the eyes. "You see, everyone close to you knew you when you were 17, but I didn't. You still remember them, not me and I don't think you will."

Sam felt bad, he hadn't told anyone about his flashes. She loved him, so he agreed "Yes you can." he said.

Not knowing what to do next Sam stood there waiting on her to make a move.

Mercedes moved closer to Sam, reaching out she grabbed both of his hands holding them. As she did serenity settled in Sam's body, it's the first time that Sam has felt at ease and calm.

Mercedes stared into Sam's green eyes as Sam stared back.

"My Sammy, my love. You have helped me though some of the worst days of my life and now I am going to ask you to help me one last time. To give me strength to say goodbye to the love of my life... you. I am so lucky I had the chance to love you and to be part of your life but now I have to let you go and carry on without you. I will always carry a memory of you in my heart, I love you Sammy." Mercedes said as tears started to fall from her eyes.

Mercedes stood on her tiptoes and kissed Sam softly on the lips. As she went to step away Sam pulled her in tighter to deepen the kiss.

As he was kissing her Sam had a flash of him on one knee with a white box with a gold ribbon wrapped around it. He was proposing to her.

He broke the kiss and looked deeply into Mercedes eyes. She was so beautiful…Sam felt so at ease with her, more than with anyone else.

"Mercedes would you do me the honor of going out on a date with me?" Sam asked, still looking into Mercedes eyes.

Speechless Mercedes searched for words, "Sam I don't think that would be a good idea."

"Why?"

Mercedes was at a loss for words she wanted to but couldn't find a reason why she should say no.

Sam watched her as she searched for a reason.

"Look at it as we could start over. I might not be your Super Sammy, but give me a chance to become the Sam we both can get to know together." he said still standing in her space. "Give us a chance."

Mercedes said 'yes' before her brain could sort through everything that he had said. Her heart just could let go, "We can start over."

"How about tonight?" said Sam eager to star anew.

"Oh tonight? Well okay, what time?" she asked.

"How about 7 pm?"

"Yes that will be great."

"Great I will be here at 7 tonight." Sam left with a huge smile on his face.

Later on that day Sam was getting ready for his date.

"I heard you didn't come until home early this morning. I guess you and Mercedes are getting along great." Mike said with a smile.

"Mike, she is unlike anyone I ever met. I'm going to marry that woman one day, she's funny, beautiful, sassy, bold and brave…she is everything good." he said with confidence.

"You said the same thing when you met her for the first time." Mike said remembering back to the first time when they all met Mercedes." And if not for the accident you would be marrying her in just a few months."

"Hey Mike, when were Mercedes and I suppose to get married?" he asked as he looked through his closet.

"U hmm, I know it was supposed to be in a few months. Tina knows the exact date. Why?" Mike asked

"Cause I think she was cancelling something today and I think it had to do with the wedding."

"Yeah, Tina mentioned that she and Mercedes have to call all the wedding vendors to let them know that the wedding is off." Mike said.

"Oh." he said with an inquisitive look on his face and started to look through his closet.

'"So what should I wear?" Sam asked.

"Wear green." Steve was standing at the door.

"What…why?" Sam asked.

"I said wear green, Mercedes loves you in green. You always said, 'Mercedes said I should wear green it brings the color out in my eyes'." and then Steve did a body roll as he impersonate Sam perfectly.

"Was that supposed to be me?" Sam said questioning raising his eyebrows.

"Yeah pretty good huh?" Steve smirked.

"Yeah he got you man, that was just like you." said Mike laughing.

Sam threw a pillow at Mike.

"Well it was." Mike shrugged.

Knocking at the front door of their home there was no answer. Sam pulls out his phone and called Mercedes. "Hey I am at the front door where are you?"

"Oh Sam I lost track of time, I'm out back in the studio trying to catch up on some work, come on back." said Mercedes

Going into the back of the house, Sam came to a large storage shed, he opened it and went in.

"I am so sorry Sam I lost track of time let me close up shop, take a shower and I will be ready to go in about 20 mins."

Sam just nodded his head as he looked around the studio. He saw a red door with a steel shield on it. It was paint like Captain American's Shield.

"Mercedes what's in there if you don't mind me asking?" He asked pointing to the door.

Mercedes smiled really big as she walked over to him, "do you have your car keys?'"

"Of course I have them. How do you think I got here." he asked with a smirk.

She laughed and snatched his keys out of his hand. She rubbed her hand against his chest and smiled even wider, when she found what she was looking for.

"Good" she said as pulled out and then off his necklace he had on.

He shivered under her touch. "I don't know where I got it from. My parent or sibling didn't know either." He stared at the necklace.

She didn't say anything she just took his necklace and his key chain and place it together like a puzzle which formed a key.

"Wow!" Sam said excitedly

She took the key and open the door. "Close your eyes"

He was more than happy to obey. She slowly walk him in to the room.

"Now open them." she said jumping up and down.

Sam slowly opened his eyes to see a Captain America blue room with a thick white strip with a thin red stripe in the middle of it as a border on the middle of the wall. A red leather sofa, framed comic books from wall to wall, a flat screen TV. A desk that sat in the corner with a small fridge next to it and file cabinets along with walls filled with years of his comic book collection.

"Wow!"

"Is that the word of the day?" Mercedes laughed, bouncing on her heels.

Sam looked at her as she bounced, repeating...Wow…as he stared at her breasts. "Yeah I guess so"

Mercedes caught his eye and slapped his shoulder, thinking about the time the first time they saw this house, she smiled.

"This is your sanitary." she beamed, "This is where you come to draw, write, read, relax or just when you need time to yourself."

"Help yourself to a drink in the fridge. I won't be long Sam, sorry again." She yelled heading towards the house to shower and change for their date.

Sam was mesmerized by all of this…it was a dream and it was his. Wow...really…he thought to himself, I need to expand my vocabulary.

Sam forced himself from the room. He had plenty of time for this later, he needed to try and win Mercedes' heart again.

Knowing they were going to miss their dinner reservations Sam went into the kitchen. He could see Mercedes had a pretty well stocked fridge, he started to grab things and began to prepare dinner. He moved though the kitchen knowing where everything was, surprising himself.

By the time Mercedes showered and changed, Sam had a fresh spinach salad, wine and spaghetti on the table and was pulling the garlic bread out of the oven.

"Wow what's all of this?" she asked as she looked at the table. Sam had the table set with candles and the flowers he had brought her with a spaghetti dinner with wine.

"Look who's at a loss for words." He smiled that beautiful smile that melted Mercedes heart.

"I hope you don't mind but we missed our dinner reservation and I found everything I needed for dinner here."

"No I don't. I prefer to eat at home." She sat as Sam pulled out her chair.

"It's funny, how my body know things my mind doesn't" Sam recalled how he moved around the kitchen. Maybe we can still catch a later movie?"

"Can we stay home and watch movies?" asked Mercedes

"Yes" Sam agreed quickly.

"Okay great we'll watch your favorites" Mercedes said then thought. "You don't remember your favorite, this is going to be fun." She remembered how Sam's reaction when he saw his favorites for the first time.

"That will be fun."

After dinner they moved to the living room to watch movies trying to decide what to watch first.

"So what would you like to watch first? Avatar is your favorite, Iron Man, Hulk or Avengers. I can go on." Mercedes ticked them off on her fingers.

"You choose…just as long as I am with you."

"O-okay" Mercedes was surprised at Sam answer.

She put the DVD in, sitting at the opposite end of the sofa.

"Why are you setting over there? Come sit next to me" Sam patted the cushion next to him.

"Okay" Mercedes moved next to Sam and he wrapped his arm around her.

Mercedes smiled and leaned into Sam's embrace.

Sam was into the movie when Mercedes got up thinking about changing into something more comfortable.

"Where are you going?"

"To change"

"Don't take too long." Sam was missing the feel of her in his arms. Standing he wrapped his arms around her waist, leaning down to kiss her.

Deeping the kiss, Mercedes smiled bashfully before heading to their former room.

.

Sam remained standing…thinking, he now sees how easy it was loving this girl…no, woman. He began to grin, yep he was in love.

Mercedes came back wearing sweats and one of Sam's old t-shirts.

"You look comfy" Sam eyed the shirt. "Hey, where did you get that t-shirt?"

"Oh this was one of your old tees I stole." She said with a slight laugh. Her head snapped up, "Wait you remembered?!"

"Uh no I just like it." He lied, as he had a quick flash of him wearing it.

"Oh"

"I'm sorry." he looked away, feeling guilty for lying, but he didn't want to lead her on.

She sat next to Sam and finished watching the movie quietly, without speaking she put on another movie.

Sam kept looking at her, wanting to ask her a question, finally he worked up the nerve.

"Can I ask you a personal question?"

"Y-yes anything…"

"When did I lose my virginity?"

"Oh...you don't remember losing your virginity?" Mercedes was surprised.

"No I don't."

"Well you lost it your senior year in high school. You always wished it would have been different." Mercedes said

"Really?"

"Yeah to Brittany."

"Oh yeah…that's when she discovered she'd rather be with girls." he said disappointed.

"I wouldn't put it that way." Mercedes was sympathetic, "You said you both didn't feel connected when you were together in that way but you would always have special feelings for her."

Seeing how he was feeling Mercedes wanted to share with Sam "I gave my virginity to you." Mercedes whispered.

"What?" Sam almost missed her words, "Really? Am I the only man you have been with?"

"Yes"

Sam stood and walked over to Mercedes, grabbing her hands he looked into her eyes, "Can you be my first? I mean, I know that technically I'm not a virgin but I would like to remember my first time… time it be with someone I know I care for and that cares for me."

Mercedes never thought of being Sam's first but he didn't recall his first time and since his first was an awkward experience she wanted this time to be special with someone who loves him.

"You care about me?" she whispered softly.

"Yes- yes I do."

Mercedes held her hand out for Sam to take.

Sam looked at her and smiled sheepishly as she led him to their bedroom.
