"Mercedes!" Kurt said as he opened the door to the loft, smiling at his best friend standing in his doorway. He gave her a huge hug and Mercedes dropped her bags, giving him one back. They stood there, hugged up like two friends who didn't just see each other two weeks ago. "Get a room!" Blaine says, coming out of the bedroom smiling. Kurt rolls his eyes and takes Mercedes' bags bringing her in. "Jealous Blaine?" Mercedes giggled, sticking her tongue out at him. "The only thing I'm jealous of is your style." Blaine added simply before hugging Kurt's sides. He then took Mercedes' bags and wandered off. Leaving Kurt and Mercedes alone to talk.
"I'm so glad you're here Mercedes. You have no idea." Kurt says taking some grapes from the refrigerator, and popping one into his mouth."I mean living with Blaine is… it's great but him and Rachel constantly doing duets in the living room is something I honestly cannot take more than… once." Kurt admitted, sitting down in a chair on the kitchen table. Mercedes sat down across from him, taking a grape away from Kurt smiling. "Don't worry love, Mercedes is here now and while Blaine and Rachel are having verbal sex with one another, I'll take you to the spa, movies, musicals, anything you want. I'm here for the entire week and I'm all yours." Kurt smiled at that, that was the best news he got all day. "You don't know how much I've missed you Mercedes." He moved his hand on top of hers and Mercedes squeezed it with a smile.
"Oh! There's something I neglected to mention while were skyping.." Mercedes was turned around now, not really listening to Kurt, she went into the fridge to get more grapes. "Hmm? What's that Kurt?" She said, roaming the fridge. "You see, Cedes I didn't think you would mind because you guys seem friendly now and.. he's Blaine's best friend and…" Before Kurt could finish Sam came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist, dripping wet. "Hey Kurt, dude do you have an soaps that are less scented? Not to be rude but…It's just I don't want to go out smelling like lilacs, it might give someone the wrong impression…" Sam rambled and Kurt bit his lip at Sam's glistening body. "Oh dear lord." Kurt said, which startled Mercedes into turning around. "SAM?" Mercedes yelped, dropping her milk to the floor.
"Hey Mercedes." Sam smiled his cute half smile and walked over to her. "Sam." Mercedes said again. "Mercedes." Sam said moving even closer. "Sam…" Mercedes said his name yet again, her brown eyes scanning his wet body, biting her lip but being subtle about it, hoping he wouldn't notice. But he did. His smile grew wider and his cheeks turned a bit red. "Mercy.." Sam said in a lower tone, now face to face with her. He looked down, she looked up. No one said anything, they just stared at each other. That was until Mercedes cleared her throat. "S—Sam… what are you doing here?" she asked him, no longer able to look in those green devilish eyes. "I live here." Sam said, grabbing an apple, and taking a bite. He chewed it, licking the juices off his sweet lips. "Umm.." Kurt decided to interrupt, "Sam's staying with us, and Mercedes here is staying with us too, for a week in the spare bedroom."
"Right. Well, I hope you enjoy your stay Cedes." Sam gave her a wink and then walked away, leaving Mercedes confused and a little hot under the collar. Kurt cleaned up the milky-mess and then looked up at Mercedes. "Hey are you okay with this? I should've asked you first I know, but Blaine insisted that Sam stay and I can't refuse him and…" Mercedes shook her head. "It's… fine Kurt. Just fine." She said walking off in a huff.
Later that night, Mercedes was unpacking and putting her stuff away. She had on a night gown with her hair wrapped and little to no make up. As she was putting stuff in drawers, she noticed someone staring at her in the corner of her eye. She popped up, scared at first, but it was just Sam. "Sam!" Mercedes yelled, "You scared me." Sam laughed a bit, walking in to go and sit on Mercedes' bed. "Sorry I just couldn't resist seeing you put everything away so neatly. I mean, no matter how much things change, more things about you stay the same." Mercedes finished packing and then sat next to Sam on the bed. "Well things aren't as complicated as they we're in high school. I'm single now, I am a song writer, singer, and I don't have to worry about trying to get Mr Shue to notice my talent without sacrificing Berry's feelings." Mercedes dry laughed and looked down. "Yeah all that is awesome but I was talking more about how incredibly beautiful you were…" Sam said, bluntly and very honestly. "I.. me… what?" Mercedes was a little taken aback by his confession. "Do you remember us Mercedes? Those Summer nights? How we both knew it wasn't over even when it was? Our kisses? The way you teased me, the way we touched?" Mercedes found herself gulping, what the fuck was the boy getting at? "Sam, what does this have to do with anything?" She asked him, confused and a little surprised. "What if we could get it back? What if we could love again?" Sam asked her, putting his hand on her tiny one.
Mercedes got up once he did that, and shook her head. "I don't know what's wrong with you but no Sam, just no! We can't. I live in LA you live here, you have a girlfriend I heard, I have a life. Just.. stop all this nonsense okay? We're in a good spot. Friendly, friends. Let's stay that way." Mercedes panted, hoping Sam got the message. Sam watched her from the bed, saying nothing. He got up, and walked towards her like he did before. Mercedes was backed up by him all the way to the wall. Her heart was racing, his eyes looked lustful and determined. "I'm not a kid anymore Mercedes." Sam whispered, his big hand hitting the wall behind her, causing Mercedes to jump. "We're adults now. We can do whatever we want." Sam leaned in closer, bringing his fingers to her chin and lifting it up. "Don't act like it's a bad thing to love me again." Their lips were almost touching, and before they could kiss, Kurt yelled Mercedes name from the living room.
