DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN GLEE.
ENJOY :)
Mercedes was in the kitchen putting the finishing touches on her potato salad she made for the barbeque. She turned around and went to the cabinet to get the pepper before she saw her phone vibrating. Putting it on speaking, "Hello?"
"Wheezy! I'm about to pull up in the driveway." The phone clicked off.
"Why did she even call?" She muttered to herself. Hearing the doorbell ring she put down the pepper and went to the front door. Opening the door she smiled at her, "Hey Santana." She gave the taller girl a hug.
"Hello my sweet baby mama." She kissed her on her lips.
Mercedes giggled pushing her away, "Ugh, I hate it when you do that." She smirked, "I'm surprised Brittany haven't got mad over the years."
"Oh please, Brittany have asked plenty of times if we could have threesome with all us. Just waiting for you to give the okay." She walked pass her and sat her purse down, "Where's Mav?"
"Upstairs getting ready. Can you wrapped up the food in the kitchen? I have to go change."
"Yeah." She walked to the kitchen.
Mercedes walked upstairs opening her bedroom door. She grabbed her swimsuit from the closet. Slipping out of her pajamas, she slid on the bottoms then the top, tying the strings around her neck. She pulled up her blue jean shorts and put on a loose tank top. She grabbed her phone, placing it in her back pocket. Pulling her hair into a high pony as she walked back down the stairs, "Okay are y'all ready?"
Maverick turned and looked at her, "Yes ma'am." He grabbed the potato salad and walked out the door.
"Ugh, he's just so cute." Santana said grabbing her purse, "It makes me want to throw up."
Mercedes laughed at her as she pushed her out the door.
Sam rolled his eyes at Puck for the fourth time since he made it to his place. He was trying to set him up with yet another girl but he wasn't going for it.
"Come on man, you'll like this one." He said placing the meat on the grill.
"How about no. I'm never letting you hook me up again." Sam said as he sipped on his beer.
Puck rolled his eyes, "Ashley wasn't that bad."
Sam stared at him blankly, "Dude..she barely ate anything, wore entirely too much makeup and I'm pretty sure she still hung up on her ex because that was the only thing she talked about."
"Well this one is different. I've known her since high school and she is Quinn's best friend. She's beautiful, smart, and funny." Puck said as he closed the hood down over the food and turned to his friend, "She even has a kid. You guys pretty much have everything in common."
Sam was about to respond but was interrupted by a loud voice.
"Puckerman." He watched as the woman came over to them, "Where's that pregnant wife of yours?"
"Well hello to you too Satan." He said sarcastically, "She's in the kitchen helping Beth finished up some food."
Santana nodded as her eyes traveled over to Sam, "Damn you have some huge lips."
Sam mouth dropped, "Um.."
"Santana this is Sam, my old buddy from college who just move here a couple of months ago and Sam this is Satan, try to stay as far away from her as you can." He yelped when she punched him.
Sam smiled at her, "It's nice to meet you."
"Same here Guppy." She gave him another once over before she backed away.
"Ignore her, she's just.." He thought about a way he could describe her, "I don't know just ignore her."
Sam let out a loud laugh, "Okay." He looked over to the door when it opened again and his eyes went wide. What is she doing here? And damn, she looks good.
Mercedes stopped mid-step when her eyes landed on the handsome green eyed blonde, "Hi.."
Puck looked up, "Hey Mercedes." He walked over to her with Sam in tow and gave her hug. Looking back at his friend, he smirked when he saw how he was looking at her, "I would like you to meet somebody. This is-"
"Mr. Evans." She smiled softly at the man.
"Ms. Jones."
Puck looked between them confused, "You two know each other?"
Mercedes looked at him, "He's the one who beat me in court earlier in the week."
"Wait." Puck held up his hand and turned to Sam, "You beat Mercedes Jones in court? This girl right here? Are you sure?"
"I'm guessing that you never lose?" Sam asked her.
"Not on small cases." She smiled up at him sticking her hand out, "Mercedes Jones."
Sam took her small hand in his, immediately feeling an tingling sensation travel up his arm, "Sam Evans." He gaze into her eyes while still shaking her hand.
Mercedes blushed under his intense gaze, "Can I have my hand back?"
Realizing he was still shaking her hand, he immediately let go. "I'm sorry." He felt the heat creep up on the back on his neck.
"It's okay." She smirked lightly, looking over to Puck who was giving her the most goofiest grin ever.
"Mom." She turned around when her son approach her, "Aunt Quinn asked me to go get some ice. Do you need anything?"
"No baby, I'm fine. Just becareful driving."
"I will." He leaned in and gave her hug.
Sam turned to her, "How old is your son?"
She tucked a loose strain a hair behind her ear, "He's sixteen."
"Wow, really?" He asked shocked. When she nodded, "You look hell'a young."
"Well, I had him at a young age..so." She stuck her hands in her back pockets, nibbling softly on her plump bottom lip.
Before he could say something, she was being summons to the kitchen. She excused herself and walked away.
His eyes traveled down her backside as sipped down the rest of his beer. Turning back around he jumped putting his hand over his heart, "Dammit Puck, don't do that." His friend was standing barely an inch in front of him.
"She's lovely isn't she?" He waggled his eyebrows.
Sam smirked a little pushing pass him. She is he thought.
About two hours later, the get together was in full swing. The kids were in the pool while the grown ups were sitting down conversating with each other. Mercedes slid off her tank top and unbutton her shorts while standing at the edge of the pool. What she didn't know was that Maverick was behind her.
Maverick slowly waited for her to get undress. He knew there would be hell to pay for this but it was going to be worth it. He crept up behind her, "Mom..hope you like the water." He pushed her in.
"Maveri-" Her words were cut off when she went under water. Shaking her head she moved her arms and swam back to the top. Coughing a little when she popped back up, "You're like grounded for a week."
His laughter suddenly subdued, face searching hers to see if she was serious. "Mom..c'mon."
"Nope." She swam to the steps and got out. Walking over to him, "And you're going to wash and blow dry my hair."
"Mom, I'm so-." He felt himself suddenly getting push into the water. Popping back up, he wiped his face and looked at Mercedes, "That's not fair.
Mercedes laughed at him, "Life's not fair sweetheart." She winked at him. Grabbing her towel she wrapped it around her waist and headed to the kitchen.
He pouted when he watch her walk away, "No fair." He muttered going back under the water.
Mercedes was walking into the kitchen when she felt herself bump into somebody, "I'm sorry." She looked up and smiled, "Well Mr. Evans, it sure is a small world huh?"
He smirked at her, "It sure is." He watched as she hopped onto the counter, "How do you know Quinn and Puck?"
"We all went to high school together." She said as she grabbed a strawberry from beside her, "How about you? I met all of Puck's friends before..but you." She pointed her strawberry at him, "I haven't."
Sam folded his arms across his chest, leaning against the counter in front of her, "Well we went to college together. He was roommate for those four years." He smiled at the memories they had. Shaking his head, "I just moved out here a couple of months ago."
Mercedes nodded her head, "Where are you from?"
"Tennessee." He stated proudly.
"So you're a country boy?" She smirked at him. Laughing a little when she saw him starting to turn red, "Ain't nothing wrong with that. I find Southern men very attractive."
Sam cocked a brow, "Are you saying you find me attractive, Ms. Jones?"
Mercedes shrugged as she bit into her strawberry, "Maybe."
He felt an uncomfortable tightness in his swim trunks as he watched her licked the juice from her lips. He coughed a little, "So what made you want to become a lawyer?"
"Isn't that question you ask on a first date?"
"Do you want me to ask you on a date?"
"I don't want you to do anything." She slid off the counter, "You should want to do it for yourself, Mr. Evans." She smiled at him and walked away.
Sam watched as her ass swayed from side to side, "That girl is going to be the death of me."
Maverick was standing in his mother's bathroom blow drying the last section of her hair, "I'm sorry for pushing you into the pool."
"It's okay." She looked at him through the mirror, "And you know I was just playing about you being grounded right?"
He shook his head as he turned the dryer off. Looking over at the picture that was on the bathroom counter, "I wish I remembered him."
"I know baby." She stood up and gave him a hug, "He was such a great person. You remind me of him so much. From your pretty little dimples." She poked his cheek, "To that big smile that's always present on your face."
Maverick smiled down at her, "You are the best mom ever and I love you to the moon and back. Don't ever forget that."
She felt her lips starting to tremble as she hugged him tighter, "I love you too."
A few minutes past before he spoke again, "I saw you talking to that man at the barbeque." He gave her a knowing look.
"Mav." She huffed as she pulled away.
"Just know if he asks you out, I am going to have 'the talk' with him." He said seriously.
Mercedes laugh, "Oh my god..go to bed."
"I'm just looking out for my mama." He smiled and walked out the door.
Mercedes shook her head as she turned off her bathroom light. Going to her bed she pulled back to cover and got in. She leaned over and turned her night stand light on and opened up her new case file that she received on Friday.
