A/N Thank you for all the reviews, follows, and favorites. To my lovely beta LadiJ, you are the best! This is all my head cannon. Please excuse any mistakes, and enjoy the ride. The song for this chapter is 'Next To Me' by Emeli Sande.
I own nothing that is Glee, thank God, cause I know if I did ya'll would hunt me down and beat the shit out of me! I also have no rights to any of the songs mentioned.
Two Weeks Later
Tina looked up as she heard Mercedes giggle. In the two weeks since they had come back from Tennessee Mercedes and Sam talked every day as well as texting and Skype dates. They spent hours talking about everything and neither were surprised at how much they were alike. "So, Sam and Mike will be here Saturday." Mercedes said happily as she put her phone away. Tina blushed, she and Mike had said it was only a one time fling but they had remained in touch. When he asked her if she would like for him to come visit her while Sam was there seeing Mercedes, she readily agreed. Noticing the expression on Tina's face she decided not to say anything, knowing Tina if she teased her she would push Mike away.
Leaning on the table between them Mercedes gave a frustrated snort, Unique, one of her Glee club members seemed unable to sing the song that she had chosen for their fundraiser show. She and Tina had talked about it and Tina suggested that maybe she should sing the song to show Unique what she meant. Unique had a great voice and had chosen a great song but just couldn't seem to give it that certain umph that it needed. Telling Tina she would sing it during Glee club today had Tina giving her an extra wide smile. At her questioning look Tina told her that she loved it when she had a chance to hear her sing. Tina looked down as her phone chimed; excusing herself she told Mercedes she would see her in the auditorium later.
Walking back to the choir room Mercedes thought about Sam and how their whole relationship had started. At times she thought they were moving too fast but then she realized that love had no time schedule, and yes she was in love with Sam. Hell she knew it by the time she flew home the Sunday after the shoot, she also knew Sam felt the same way.
Flashback
She had wanted to spend the night with Sam but no way was she doing the walk of shame the next morning! It had taken a lot of talking to get Sam to agree to take her back to the hotel when she woke up after their make out session. He had only agreed after she promised to spend time with him the next day. When Sam arrived the next day it seemed like a million butterflies were set loose in her stomach, he was so damn sexy! As thoughts of last night flashed through her mind it made heat pool in her core. Sam had pulled her into a deep kiss when he greeted her.
Dressing casual as he had requested she eyed him in his jeans that fit his long legs and muscled thighs just right. Lord don't even let her start on that smedium v neck t-shirt he had on under the open flannel shirt. It was tight and clung to his abs, when in the hell did flannel shirts get sexy?
By the time the haze cleared from her mind they were in his car. They had talked and laughed so much Mercedes didn't even notice that they had made it to their destination. Sam opened the truck door for her, looking around she saw a beautiful lake, "It's beautiful Sam." she said as she smiled up at him. "Not as beautiful as you darling." leaning down he gave her another passionate kiss that made her toes curl. Reaching into the back seat of the truck he pulled out a basket and a couple of blankets. Grabbing her hand he led her to an area that gave them some privacy; spreading the blankets they sat down with Sam pulling her in between his legs as he leaned back against the tree. She played with his hands as he nuzzled her neck telling her about the lake in between kisses that did nothing to help the state of her panties. Squirming from the heat he was making pulse through her body she stopped when he whispered in her ear, "Something wrong baby? You got an itch that needs to be scratched?" Running his hands up and down her inner thighs he let his fingers trail against her jean covered center. Giving a growl she slapped his hands, "You know just what you're doing to me, so don't act so innocent." Laughing at her Sam hugged her closer kissing her cheek. "Baby I want to ask you something." he said, turning her. Looking into his eyes, they were so serious, "Of course babe anything." cupping his cheek with her hand she waited for him to continue. Taking her hand he kissed it, "Meeting you has turned into the most important moment in my life. What I feel for you, what I see reflected back at me in your eyes, I didn't think would ever happen. I don't want it to end when you leave tonight." Mercedes could feel tears start to burn her eyes. She didn't want this to end either; "I want you to be my girlfriend. Would you do me the honor of accepting me as your boyfriend?" Mercedes gasped, "Yes Sam, yes!" pulling his head down she kissed him with all the emotions she had in her heart for him.
End of Flasback
Mercedes smiled as she pulled the chain around her neck from under her shirt. At the end of the chain swung a ring, Sam's first Super Bowl ring, he had two but this was the most important one. He had taken the Tennessee Titans to the Super Bowl for the last two years and had won both times. He was the NFL's golden boy and he was hers. Hearing the glee members enter she tucked the ring back into place and greeted them as they came in. After talking with them for a few minutes she told them to meet her in the auditorium, pulling Unique to the side they talked about her song choice. Unique asked to change her choice but asked her if she would sing the song, Mercedes agreed, laughing as Unique ran ahead squealing that Miss Jones was going to sing for them. Hearing the kids all cheering and clapping she had to smile she had the best kids ever. Going up on the stage she waited for the band to get settled.
Tina giggled as she led Mike and Sam into the auditorium through a stage side door, Mercedes had no idea Sam was already here. When she got Mike's call to let her know they were at the front office, she raced to get them and make it back to the Glee club. Seeing Mercedes walk up on the stage she pushed Sam back so she wouldn't see him.
Sam could only stare, it had only been two weeks since he had seen her but damn it seemed like forever. If anything she was even more perfect. Perfect for him, damn he loved that woman! Sam's eyes couldn't stop roaming her face, her body, her. He couldn't believe that she was his, that the woman he had waited 24 years for was here and she was his. Well not really 24 years, the first 9 or 10 of those years he'd thought girls had cooties, he chuckled to himself at the thought. Listening to the kids reactions to her getting ready to sing he smiled, Tina had told him about the song and what to do. He had looked it up on ITunes and liked it, now he was going to hear his woman singing it. Tina leaned over and tapped his arm, "Are you ready Sam?" she asked as the music began. Sam just nodded, his eyes never leaving Mercedes. Mike and Tina looked at each other, laughing with hands covering their mouth so Mercedes couldn't hear them. "He is so gone." Mike whispered to her. "So is she, if it wasn't so cute it would be sickening." Tina whispered back.
As Mercedes began to sing Sam and Mike's jaws dropped, looking at Tina, she just smirked as she took a finger and closed both of their mouths. "Get ready Sam." is all she said as they turned back to look at Mercedes.
You won't find him drinking at the table
Rolling dice and staying out 'til three
You won't ever find him be unfaithful
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
Sam couldn't believe his ears, why was she teaching school when she had a voice like that? He felt Tina give him a push, grinning he walked out on the stage as she began the second verse.
You won't find him tryna chase the devil
For money, fame, for power, out of greed
You won't ever find him where the rest go
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
Hearing the excited buzz from her students Mercedes continued to sing. Catching movement to her left she turned her head slightly, SAM! Smiling as she came to the last line of the verse she pointed to the floor next to her as Sam slid into place shooting her that lop-sided grin.
Next to me – ooh hooo
Next to me – ooh hooo
Next to me – ooh hooo
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
When the money's spent and all my friends have vanished
And I can't seem to find no help or love for free
I know there's no need for me to panic
Cause I'll find him, I'll find him next to me
Mercedes continued to sing with Sam beside her, each time she sang 'Next to me' he would grin and give her a wink. Hidden by the curtains Mike gave Tina a quick kiss as they listened.
When the skies are grey and all the doors are closing
And the rising pressure makes it hard to breathe
When all I need's a hand to stop the tears from falling
I will find him, I'll find him next to me
Next to me – ooh hooo
Next to me – ooh hooo
Next to me – ooh hooo
I will find him, I'll find him next to me
When the end has come and buildings falling down fast
When we've spoilt the land and dried up all the sea
When everyone has lost their heads around us
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
Sam couldn't help but to grin; she would always find him next to her, truer words had never been spoken or in her case sung. She was his other half; Always and forever.
Next to me – ooh hooo
Next to me – ooh hooo
Next to me – ooh hooo
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
Next to me – ooh hooo
Next to me – ooh hooo
Next to me – ooh hooo
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
When she finished the song she almost forgot her class, as she went to kiss him. Looking at Sam she whispered a quick later as her students swarmed the stage. Looking over she saw Tina and Mike walking toward them. Seeing Mike walk over the jocks in the club went silent, noticing the sudden quiet Mercedes looked at the shocked expressions on their faces. They were looking from Sam to Mike like they were at a tennis match.
"Miss Jones? Why is Sam Evans and Mike Chang standing on our stage?" Jake asked quietly. Ryder, Rory, Joe and Matt, all football jocks, along with Jake were in awe. Sam Evans and Mike Chang were both two-time Super Bowl Champions, hell they were the current champions, and they were standing on their stage! The girls in the club were in awe simply because they were fine as hell! Turning to the girls, Matt explained, "They are the current Super Bowl champions; in fact they have won the last two championships." Rory added in excitedly, "Sam is the #1 Quarterback in the NFL and MVP for the last two years and Mike is the #1 Wide Receiver in the NFL." All eyes turned back to Sam and Mike, both laughed at how excited the boys were. As they greeted the class questions started flying at them. What were they doing here? How did they know Miss Jones and Miss Cohen-Chang? Could they see one of their championship rings? How long would they be in town? Could they have an autograph?
Mike held his hands up for quiet, yes they could have autographs, they were friends with their teachers and sorry but they didn't bring their rings with them. Hearing the disappointment at not being able to see one of the rings Sam looked at Mercedes questioningly. Mercedes thought for a moment, they weren't trying to hide their relationship and before the weekend was up her students would know anyway. Giving Sam a nod and smile she gave him permission.
"Guys, you can actually see my first ring." Sam said, at that they all got quiet. All eyes turned to him including Mike and Tina's. Gesturing towards Mercedes they seemed to turn as one looking at her. Mercedes had already pulled the chain over her head and had it and the ring in her hand. Opening her hand she held the ring out for them to see. "Fuck a duck!" Matt said as he looked at the ring. "Matthew Rutherford, watch your language young man!" Mercedes exclaimed. "Sorry Miss Jones, it won't happen again." the young man said, not sounding sorry at all. Mike and Sam turned their heads to hide their laughter, both got an elbow in the side for the poor job they did.
"Miss Jones, why do you have Sam's first ring" Joe asked, looking at the two of them. "Joe, it's Mr. Evans, not Sam." As Sam was about to tell her it was ok he felt her elbow again so he shut his mouth, grinning at her he asked "Why do you have my ring?" Mercedes shot him a glare as she felt herself blush. It didn't help that she could hear Tina and Mike in the background snickering. Sam shot her a grin, before answering "The reason your teacher has my ring is because she's my girlfriend." With that all hell broke loose, the guys were pumped because their teacher was dating one of their idols and the girls; hell their teacher had a fine ass man. Giving an ear-piercing whistle Sam got them to quiet down and Mercedes sent him a grateful look. Dismissing the club she told them that she would see them Monday and to have a great weekend.
By the time Sam and Mike had finished signing autographs and chatting with the kids an hour had passed. Seeing the door close behind the last one Sam spun her around into his arms and began to kiss her. Watching them Mike and Tina rolled their eyes...so cute it was sickening. Tugging on Sam's arm Tina reminded them they were in the school. Breaking apart they both were flushed and seemed about ten seconds from stripping each other and going at it on the stage. "Home, we need to get home." Sam said. "So does this mean we won't be having dinner together tonight?" Tina asked with a laugh. Sam just gave her a 'duh' look as he started pulling Mercedes toward the door. "Sam wait, I have to close the choir room and pick up my things." Mercedes told him. "Well hurry up woman." he growled slapping her on the butt to speed her up.
After getting their bags sorted out they made plans to meet for lunch the next day. "I hope Mercedes ate a good lunch because I don't think Sam's going to let her eat dinner tonight." Mike said. Tina licked her lips, "I hope you had a good lunch too." At her comment Mike smirked, "Oh I did, babe, I did. Now let's get to your house so I can show you." Tina was surprised she didn't get a ticket with all the speeding laws she broke.
Stumbling into her house Mercedes and Sam were tearing at each other's clothes. Dinner could wait; right now he just wanted his woman and to hell with food. Making it to her room Sam pushed up Mercedes skirt, ripping her panties off. Fuck he needed to taste her now! Mercedes kicked her heels off as she fell back on her bed. Sam knelt on the floor putting a leg over each shoulder as he gazed at her mound, Damn she had a pretty pussy, all smooth and soft and he could smell her arousal, sweet and heady. Lowering his head he gave her folds a soft, slow lick, savoring her taste. Teasing her, he licked and kissed all around her clit, making her moan and clutch his hair as she moved trying to get his mouth on the bundle of nerves. Sam grinned at her impatience, finally giving her what she wanted he took her clit, sucking and licking hard.
Sam was playing and damn it was making Mercedes hot, she was so wet and she needed to cum in the worse way. When Sam started sucking on her clit she tighten her grip on his hair and began to hump his face. Oh shit this feels so damn good! Magic Mike my ass this is the real deal here, Magic Sam! Feeling him slide his fingers in just made it better, he was thrusting his fingers in deep, sucking and licking, setting a rhythm that had her moaning as she called out to every deity she could think of. Sam could feel her walls clenching and fluttering around his fingers, she was so wet and tasted so damn good. Pulling his fingers out he put his tongue in as far as it could go licking her walls, coating his tongue with her essence. Oh shit his tongue was doing things inside her pussy that had her about to lose her mind. Sam reached up to loosen her grip on his hair, Mercedes didn't even notice she was too wrapped up in the way he was making her body feel. Sliding his fingers back into her Sam curled his fingers finding her G-spot, stroking it as he added pressure to her clit he could feel her tighten more as her thighs began to tremble.
Mercedes, feeling the tingle spreading in her stomach knew she was about to cum. Sam stroking her spot sent her crashing into one hell of an orgasm, she had never cum so hard! Screaming Sam's name she could feel her essence gushing out. Oh Lawd, this man made me squirt! Shit I've never done that before! She had her thighs clamped so tight around his head but Sam didn't care, as he lapped and sucked every drop she had to give. Fuck I made her squirt! At the thought Sam got even harder, he needed to be in her, NOW! Easing her down from her sexual high he grinned, his woman was sexy as hell.
Moving to her side he kissed her deeply, "I think we have on too many clothes baby." Without saying a word Mercedes began to pull his shirt off. They quickly stripped and fell back into kissing and stoking each other. Sam couldn't help but to pay homage to the girls, damn they were so pretty. Kissing, nibbling, sucking and licking soon he had her nipples hard and begging for more attention from him. Mercedes ran her hands all over his chest and any skin she could touch. She was doing her own fair amount of nibbling, sucking and licking, hearing Sam's moans of appreciation spurred her on. Gently stroking his cock she used his pre-cum to tease the head, making his hips jerk with each swipe of her finger. Looking at him through her lashes she took him in her mouth, she loved the way he tasted. Using her hand to stroke what she couldn't take into her mouth she licked and sucked every inch. Pulling him further into her mouth until he hit the back of her throat she began to hum. Sam's back came off the bed as he let loose a string of cuss words that made her want to laugh.
Oh hell her mouth on my dick feels so fucking good! Sam looked down at her as she pleasured him. She was so fucking beautiful and she was his. Stroking her hair he stopped her before she could make him cum, pulling her up he kissed her, loving the way he tasted on her lips. "Baby, I need to cum in you, I need to feel you wrapped around me." he whispered in her ear as he kissed the shell of her ear.
Handing her a condom he bit his lip as she gave his head a kiss before she rolled it down his length. Pushing her hair back gently from her face he leaned down to kiss her. Settling between her thighs he looked at her, at her nod he slowly entered her. Fuck! Shit! Hot Damn she was so tight, so wet and hot! When he was finally in her completely Sam had to take a moment not only for her to adjust to his size but to calm himself down. Mercedes had never felt anything even close to how she felt when Sam filled her. It was like her pussy was having a damn party! It was clenching and fluttering like crazy! Not being able to stand it anymore she moved her hips to let him know she was ready.
Sam pulled almost out and thrust back in slow. Keeping a slow stroke Sam reached down and pulled at her leg for her to wrap them around his both moaned at he was able to go deeper. Sam picked up speed, thrusting harder, hitting her spot. With each thrust Mercedes chanted, Damn! Fuck! Sam! Damn! Fuck! Sam! over and over. Sam leaned down sucking and biting gently on her nipples. The feel of her walls fluttering and clenching him was the best damn thing ever. Mercedes could feel every vein and every inch. The head of his dick was hitting her spot and making her coat his cock with more cream with every thrust. Changing the speed of his strokes he kept them both at the edge but not letting them fall over. Mercedes was meeting him stroke for stroke, tightening and clenching until he couldn't take it anymore. Thrusting harder and deeper Sam could feel the tingle in his balls letting him know he was going to cum. Reaching between them he rubbed and strummed her clit helping her fall back into another orgasm. As she screamed his name, shuddering and quivering in his arms it pushed him over the edge, growling out her name he came with a force that shook his whole body. Holding her tightly he thrust lazily as he brought them both down. Slowing to a stop he looked at her grinning, "Baby, this is something we are going to have to do for the rest of our lives." Giving him a soft peck on the lips she agreed with him, "The rest of our lives sounds just perfect."
Pulling out of her they both whimpered in protest, getting rid of the condom Sam quickly joined her back in bed. As she settled back into his arms he nuzzled her neck, "You do realize I love you and I have no intentions of letting you go." he said. Mercedes smiled, "That's ok, I love you too and I have the same plans for you." Sam looked at her seriously, "So you have no objections to becoming Mrs. Samuel Evans one day?" Mercedes looked back at him just as seriously, "Just waiting for you to ask." They both smiled at each other and settled down, a little nap, a shower, then whatever they felt like doing, they had the whole night ahead of them.
A Week Later
Sam sat in his den thinking about his time spent with Mercedes. He had met her parents and brother over Skype. He was nervous but it went well, apparently she had already told her family about him. Her father and brother had asked to speak with him privately. Even with the thousands of miles between them her dad had still managed to scare the shit out of him. The man was a force to be reckoned with. Asking Sam his intentions, he had been honest, he planned on asking Mercedes to marry him soon, very soon. After many more probing and very personal questions both men seemed satisfied with Sam's answers. Neither cared that he was a famous football star, their concern was about Mercedes, as it should be, and Sam was happy to answer any and all questions.
Mercedes was going to come spend Spring break with him in Tennessee in a couple of weeks. She would meet his parents and when she left he planned for her to be wearing his ring.
A/N I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I think we have about two more chapters to go and this story will be a wrap. As always, much hugs and lots of love.
