Well... it's Michaela, Jade and Adam centered chapter with sprinkles of Samcedes!

The Compromise:

Part Two… Part Two lol

Mercedes took her towel and her favorite romance novel and headed down to the pool. She wore a red cutout one piece and her hair was in a high bun. Her oversized sunglasses allowed her to watch others and not be noticed which was one of her favorite things to do.

She sat down on a lounge chair and not even a minute later she was pushing away a creep who tried to sit next to her.

"Excuse me, can I borrow your cell phone? My mother told me to call her the moment I fell in love." A young guy said, smiling brightly.

"Go away." She said, grabbing her book and lifting it to her pretending to read.

"Come on baby, you're here alone, I'm alone, let's go to my room and make some magic."

She shook her head trying her best to ignore him.

"Don't be a bitch, come on."

Sam had decided to enjoy the amenities as much as he could. The conference didn't start til later, and he was ready, everything was set up, all he needed to do was kill time. So naturally the pool was the place to be.

As he made his way down to the pool, he scanned around trying to get a good spot and his heart stopped as his eyes came across Mercedes. He had to blink a few times before he realized he wasn't dreaming. Shit that meant he wasn't dreaming yesterday either. She was there? And she was with a guy?

He walked closer to her and heard the man call her a bitch. Moving over to her he kissed her softly. "Thanks for saving my seat baby, is this man bothering you?"

Mercedes' eyes widened as she saw Sam. What was he doing there? He kissed her and she silently thanked him for helping her even if her heart was beating out of her chest. "Umm yeah he was just leaving, weren't you?"

The guy frowned and stood. "Oh you can definitely do better than this stuck up dude. Come spend an hour with me, I'll make you forget he even exists."

"Pretty sure that's not possible, he's definitely the bigger man here, run along now." Mercedes said, smirking looking over to Sam. "He is my big daddy after all." she said, teasing him.

Sam's eyes widened when he heard her call him big daddy. "You heard her, now leave." He said running the events of his dream through his mind and realizing she called him the same thing in his dream.

The guy looked Sam up and down before scuffing. "I'm definitely bigger." He replied, grabbing himself and gesturing towards Mercedes.

Mercedes leaned up in her seat, wrapping her hand around Sam before gently groping him and smiling. "He's got you beat by… several inches."

The guy angrily stalked away as Mercedes burst out laughing. "He deserved that! He was such an asshole."

Sam laughed, nodding. "I could tell… so you're here?"

Mercedes nodded. "Mhm, conference for the hospital. You?"

Sam straddled the lounge she was sitting on. "Same, looking to invest for my company… how… How long have you been here?"

"Just a day, I just got here late last night. How long have you been here?" She asked, face heating as she thought about what happened in her dream. His chest looked just how she remembered it.

"I got here early yesterday evening." He replied looking her over, biting his lip, remembering his dream and how sexy she looked bouncing on his dick.

She swallowed. "This is pretty crazy huh? That we are both here?"

Sam nodded. "It is… what's even crazier is… never mind." He said blushing.

Mercedes smiled. "No, tell me, what's crazier?" She asked leaning in closer to him.

Sam ran his hand through his hair. "Don't think I'm a pervert or anything but I had a really intense dream about you last night at this very hotel…"

She raised an eyebrow. "Really? Why would I think you are a pervert? What was the dream?"

He let out a low chuckle. "Well we were in the sauna and… you walked in on me pleasing myself and…"

"And we had sex…?" She finished for him.

Sam looked at her nervously. "Yeah… really good sex. It felt so real, it was like I was in the dream awake, if that makes sense."

"Ummm Sam do you, like by any way have a Prince Albert?" She asked willing him to say no.

Sam blushed. "Yeah, I actually do. Me and Mike got them on a dare…wait how did you know?"

She ran her hands through her hair letting the bun fall and she closed her eyes. "Sam when we had… In the dream, was I…was I on top?"

A goofy grin crossed his face. "Yes." He answered, feeling his dick twitch. "You sound like you had a similar dream."

"I had pretty much the exact same dream as you…like scene for scene." She said, finally opening her eyes.

Sam leaned in. "You mean…? Last night wasn't…"

"I, I don't, I don't know…maybe."

"Do you have a tattoo?" He asked, reaching over pointing directly underneath her left breast. "Right here?"

Mercedes gasped standing up and grabbing her things. "I need to go."

Sam stood up too. "Mercedes wait, don't leave like that." He said, grabbing her hand. "It's okay if it wasn't a dream, you know?"

She stared at him. "Sam we didn't…we weren't protected if it wasn't a dream."

Sam opened and closed his mouth, recounting the events and sure enough they weren't protected. "Oh shit, Mercedes… I… fuck."

"I haven't…not since Shane, and I am clean, but there was also no need for me to be on birth control." She said looking anywhere to at him.

Sam moved closer, using his hand to turn her face to his. "It's okay, we can think this through but I don't regret what happened and I haven't been with anyone since my divorce."

She stared at him, touched by the sincerity in his eyes. "I do have a tattoo, it's of a butterfly, T and I got them in school." She said softly, erasing any doubt that it was real. "You really don't regret it."

"I'm going to be honest, I want to do it again…" He replied. "I could never regret what we did."

She chewed her bottom lip nervously. "Did you want to swim…or get a closer look at my tattoo…I have a few hours to spare before my presentation."

Sam nodded slowly. "Get closer how?"

Mercedes stepped closer to him. "Use your imagination…big daddy." She turned and started walking away hoping Sam would follow.

Sam smirked before running to catch up with her. "Your room or mine?"

"Well I am in 1295." She said, smiling over her shoulder.

"Mmm… I'm in 1294, we can break yours in first."

Mercedes reached the elevator and laughed, pulling him in with her. "Fate really wants us together doesn't it…or Mike and Tina because I can't believe they didn't know we were both gonna be here."

"Well Mike booked my room for me." Sam admitted, wrapping his arms around her and smiling. "I can't believe it wasn't a dream, I have to make up for last night, I didn't give my best performance." He said.

Mercedes swallowed, remembering how good everything felt last night and wondered what was considered good to him. "I enjoyed myself."

Sam smirked. "And that's the problem. I don't just want you to enjoy it… I want you to crave more of it."

She bit her lip and shifted. "Who said I don't?"

"You're still walking, that's how I know but that's fine I got a few hours to fix that."

Mercedes' eyes grew wide as she shook her head. "I have to give a presentation…" She said breathlessly.

The elevator door opened and Sam just grabbed her hand and led her down the hall before stopping in front of her room door. "Key."

"Sam, I have to give a presentation." She repeated, mindlessly handing over her room key.

"I heard you." He replied picking her up and carrying her into her room.

"Jesus mom, no! I don't a babysitter. I called dad and he's totally fine with it plus Roxy is going to stay over so I'm not alone and Kat will be back in like two days. I'm fine, I swear." Jade said into the phone as she and Roxy walked down the aisle grabbing some extra snacks for her party.

Penny sighed. "Well, if your father is okay with it then I am too. Just call if you need me okay?"

Jade smirked. "I will, I love you."

"I love you too. Call you later." Penny said before hanging up.

"It's official, both parents are taken care of and we can have this party stress free!"

"Now we gotta take care of the Michaela problem." Roxy reminded her and Jade rolled her eyes.

"Ugh… she's a freaking menace! Why did he have to invite her?"

Roxy shrugged. "You should've told him it was a private party."

"He said he had plans so I'm assuming it's with that dork and he almost said no so you're gonna have to keep her busy."

"Wait, why do I have to keep her busy? I don't like her either. Besides, Dez is coming and I want to hang out with him." Roxy replied.

"Just distract her long enough for me to get Adam away from her and get some alone time with him."

Roxy sighed. "Fine but you owe me because this is going to look bad on me. So you better have a boyfriend by the time the party ends!" She teased and Jade giggled.

"Oh it's for sure happening! Just gotta get little miss perfect out of the way!"

Roxy nodded. "We could always have Jake flirt with her, he said she was cute."

Jade scrunched up her face. "Eww, he clearly needs his eyes checked but I would be down with a little prank." She said checking out and Roxy pulled her phone out.

"Okay, I'll get Jake in on it and we can watch it all unfold tonight!"

"Mic you do realize the ball is supposed to go in the hole right?" Adam teased, smiling down to her. "Here let me show you how to do it." Adam moved behind her and gripped the putt putt stick in her hand. "You swing back, and then put all your power into swinging forward." He said helping her.

"I did that!" She laughed as he helped her again. "Face it I am no putt putt Queen. Got that from my mom, she sucks worse than me." Michaela said.

Adam grabbed his own stick lined up his shot and swung, getting another hole in one.

"This is just unfair, I want a recount…" Mic said, shaking her head.

"Maybe I am trying to impress you."

Mic stood on her tippy toes and kissed his cheek. "Maybe I am already impressed by you."

Adam blushed, turning to her as they moved to another area. As she swung, the ball whizzed past the hole but hit the wall, going back right to the edge. She smiled holding the stick in the air triumphantly. "See I do improve!"

"You improved because of me!" He said pulling her to him and placing a soft kiss on her lips.

Michaela wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him back as her phone rang. She closed her eyes, stepping back. "It's my mom."

"Go ahead." he smiled.

Michaela sighed. "Hey mom."

Mercedes lounged out on the bed and smiled. "Hi baby girl, how is everything?"

"Its good, Adam and I are putt putt golfing."

"She stinks Aunt Cedes!" Adam teased. Michaela pushed him away laughing.

"Did you do your presentation?"

"Not yet, I have another two hours before I have to get-"

Sam walked into the room and smiled. "Come on sexy, the shower is getting cold."

Mercedes's eyes widened as she covered the phone a bit too late.

"Mom? Mom, who is that?"

"It's the tv…" Mercedes lied and Sam made a face before nodding realizing she was on the phone.

"You sure that wasn't Mr. Evans mom? I mean it sounded a lot like him." She snickered.

Mercedes coughed. "No… would it be bad if it was?"

"Not bad, I would be surprised though since you are supposed to be working." She laughed.

"If it was him, that's a big if, we ran into each other." She said, chewing her bottom lip.

"Mhm, and me and Adam haven't been making out alone at our place." Michaela replied sarcastically.

Mercedes sat up. "Excuse me? You've been doing what?"

Michaela laughed. "See it's not fun being lied to, now is it? If you and Mr. Evans are dating, I don't mind. You need to get out there and have some fun."

"Have you and Adam been making out, Michaela?"

"Bye mom, tell Mr. Evans I said hi! I'll see you in a few days, I love you."

"I'm not kidding, answer me."

"I will if you will." Michaela teased and Mercedes couldn't help laughing.

"Fine, have fun. Call me later and I love you too."

"Bye mom." She said before hanging up. "My mom is totally dating Jade's dad."

Adam smiled. "Lucky dude." He said and Michaela hit him. "Ow, what?'

"That's my mom!"

He shrugged. "Fake aunt or not, she's hot. You get that from her."

Mercedes smoothed down her dress and smiled as Sam came up behind her. "No. Sam this is the second time you have looked at me like that and you ruined the first dress."

"I'm sorry I can't help it. You are just so damn sexy." He said moving the hair out of the way and began kissing her neck. "I promise this time I won't ruin your dress."

"Samuel Evans if you do not stop! I have to go, I get on stage in twenty minutes." She said, turning to him.

"I only need five."

Mercedes sighed, wavering but stopped. "Sam no. I got to go. Come see me talk, you might learn something." She teased kissing him before walking out of her room, much to Sam's dismay. Fifteen minutes later, Mercedes was pacing as she went over her speech. "And with this new technology, not only will it be less invasive for patients but-"

She stopped as her phone vibrated. Picking it up she saw it was from Sam and smiled.

Sam: Purple looks so damn sexy on you

Sam: Say the word and I can be under that podium.

Mercedes felt her cheeks grow warm. I'm trying to go over my speech, you're not helping. She texted back before restarting her speech.

Sam: Love swirling my tongue around that clit of yours, you taste so amazing

Mercedes: You have to stop… I didn't pack a lot of panties and I need to be wearing some during my presentation.

Sam: Take them off! Make it easier for me.

Mercedes: You can take them off LATER.

"And now I would like to call up a woman who needs no introduction, Doctor Mercedes Jones." The speaker said.

Sam: To be continued sexy…oh one last thing.

Sam: Photo Attached.

Mercedes clicked the attachment and moaned.

Mercedes: You are playing dirty…now I'm going to be thinking about your dick.

Sam: Mission accomplished. Good luck, sexy.

Mercedes: Tease.

Sam moved to the back as Mercedes took the stage, he knew he probably should have felt guilty about being with Mercedes but he didn't. Penny was right, some things were worth fighting for and he realized that Mercedes was worth it to him. He loved his daughter, and he would never do anything to harm or hurt her, but this was something they were going to have to revisit once he got home. Mercedes Jones was too amazing of a woman to lose.

When Adam and Michaela pulled up to Jade's there were cars everywhere, loud music and a few of his teammates goofing off in the front yard. Adam looked over at Michaela, seeing that she looked slightly uncomfortable.

"We can leave, I just told her I would come so she'd leave me alone." Adam explained.

"No, no it's fine… I just know she doesn't want me here."

Adam leaned over, turning her face to his. "We'll be in and out and then we can go watch movies at your place, deal?" He said and she smiled.

"Deal but you're getting me candy before we do." She replied and he nodded.

"Fair trade." He quipped before kissing her. "Let's go inside."

Michaela nodded before unbuckling and getting out, admittedly this was her first party and she already felt out of place.

"Dude! You made it!" Dez, a teammate of Adam's, said fist bumping him.

"Adam! Bro there are some fine ass ladies up in here!" Mitch the quarterback said, clapping him on the back.

Adam shot him a look before shaking his head. "Yeah, I'm good. I got a girl." He said, smiling at Michaela.

Theo slid his arms around Michaela's shoulders. "You sure you wanna spend your time with him, beautiful? I am so much better."

Michaela blushed. "I'm sure besides, don't you have a girlfriend?" She asked.

"Not one as sexy as you." He said, kissing her hand and laughing as Adam shoved him away.

"Okay that's enough, I get you all have a thing for my girl but she is MY girl." Adam said, pulling Michaela into him.

"I didn't realize I was a topic of conversation." Michaela joked.

Theo shrugged. "You're a hot girl. Of course you are a topic. Speaking of hot girls. Jade is looking for you bro."

Adam rolled his eyes. "Why?" He asked tickling Michaela.

Theo shrugged. "You know she's not going to stop looking for you, so you might as well go and get it over with."

Adam sighed. "Yeah, alright. See you guys later." He said, grabbing Michaela's hand and walking inside where the music was even louder and there were more people, some dancing, some standing around and some making out.

Michaela looked around and realized this was exactly like all the movies she'd watched and a piece of her hated it but another piece of her kinda liked it. It was a fun atmosphere and no one seemed to even notice that she and Adam walked in together which let her breath a little easier.

"Want anything to drink?" He leaned down and asked.

"Umm, sure." She replied and he led them to the kitchen and was met by a loud squeal.

"ADAM!" Jade shouted, running over to him and wrapping her arms around him. "You made it!" She said leaning in to kiss him but he moved away.

"Hey Jade." He replied, pushing her away slightly and grabbing Michaela's hand again. "Theo said you wanted to see me, what's up?"

Jade looked at their hands and held back her scowl. "Well, I actually needed to talk to you about something… privately."

"You couldn't text it?" He asked and Jade rolled her eyes before pulling him from Michaela.

"No, it needed to be said in person." She said pressing her body into his.

Adam looked back at Michaela who was being offered a drink by Roxy. "Let me just tell Mic-"

"She's fine, my girl got her and she'll be there when we get back." Jade interrupted, grabbing his face gently and turning it back to her. "Let's go upstairs, it's quieter." She said, pulling him up the backstairs.

Michaela watched Adam go upstairs with Jade and sighed as Roxy went on and on about Jake.

"Oh shoot, Dez is coming. How's my hair?" She asked nervously, messing with her hair. Michaela looked over and smiled.

"It's pretty but if you don't stop messing with it, it won't be." She replied with a soft laugh. "Here." Michaela fixed where she messed her hair up before giving her a nod.

"Thanks… I would've left your hair looking bad." Roxy said and Michaela shrugged.

"Not everyone wants to get people, some of us are actually nice."

Roxy looked at her for a minute before sighing. "Nice doesn't get you invited to parties or get hot boys to like you."

"Then maybe those people are the problem and you should start thinking things for yourself. I know for a fact that Dez likes nice girls, he's told me as much. I tutor him sometimes and he's obsessed with my mom's cooking… like Adam." Michaela said smiling.

"Yeah, half the football team is obsessed with your mom… she's really pretty. I saw her at the health thing last year, it was Dez that she gave mouth to mouth to." Roxy said laughing.

"It makes sense now… he's super smart and doesn't need my help." She said laughing as well. "He likes you, you know?"

Roxy smiled over at Dez who stopped to get some pizza. "Wait, really? How'd you know?"

Michaela smiled. "He told me, randomly, it was after… the fight. He said he didn't know why you would help Jade do what you did." She answered, taking a sip of her drink.

"Oh…" Roxy said right as Dez walked up.

"Hey Mic, what's up? Surprised to see you here." Dez said, pulling her into a hug. She smiled and hugged him back.

"You and me both but I'm just waiting on Adam." She replied looking over at Roxy who suddenly got shy. "You know… Roxy here has been telling me that she's still looking for a date for homecoming." She added lightly nudging Roxy.

Dez smiled. "Really? I thought you and Jade were going stag."

Roxy shook her head. "No, she's hoping to go with-" She started but looked at Michaela who just nodded. "She's wanting to go with someone…"

"So that means you're available?" He asked and Roxy smiled.

"Yeah… if you want, we can go talk?" Michaela took that as her cue to walk away, she shot thumbs up at Roxy before walking into the living room and finding a place to sit.

After a few minutes she looked around wondering where Adam was. Heading up the stairs she was ready to grab him and go. As she walked towards Jade's room she heard talking, opening the door and freezing at what she was seeing.

"Adam, let's stop denying what's been happening here for a while, we belong together." She said pushing him on the bed and straddling him so she could kiss him.

"Jade, what the hell are you-" He started right as she crashed her lips onto his.

"Adam?!" Michaela said, shaking her head and turning around running down the stairs and out the house.

Adam pushed Jade off him. "Jesus! I told you I was with Michaela!" He shouted before going after her.

Well Mercedes and Sam having a ball! Now Jade... seee I'm need her ass to get go real quick! Also Michaela and Adam, am I right? ALSO not Roxy vibing with our girl.
