Timing Is Every Thing
Sam POV
Sam looked out the window of the hotel room, deep in thought. Today his best friend Noah Puckerman was getting married. Sam had nothing against marriage, he couldn't wait for the day he would be the one standing at the altar waiting for her. Just thinking about her made his body flush with heat. How could a woman have a hold on him like this? He had met her two years ago after Puck met his soon to be wife, Quinn Fabray. Their first meeting was when they had all went out for drinks. At the time Sam was dating Tiffany, and she was dating Carl. Theirs was an instant attraction. When he had shook her hand his body seemed to be zapped with electricity. They both jumped and she looked at him startled, with the most beautiful doe like eyes he had ever seen. He couldn't keep his eyes off of her and was pumped to see that she kept sneaking glances at him. That was their first meeting. Time passed and they would meet again at different gatherings, either single or with a date. Sometimes he would have a girlfriend and she would be single. The next time she would have a boyfriend and he would be single. Neither would make a move on the other because they weren't cheaters. Eight months ago Puck had asked Quinn to marry him and today was the day. Sam was his best man. She was Quinn's maid of honor. They had run into each other during the various parties leading up to the wedding but as usual they both either did or didn't have a date. But never at the same time. Sam was tired, the attraction he felt for this woman had only increased over the years. She dominated his thoughts and dreams. She was built the way a woman should be, with curves. Lord the things he dreamed about doing to her body! She always smelled like vanilla and strawberries, with a subtle hint of something that was just unique to her. She was tiny, no more than 5' 2", with the softest brown skin. When he had danced with her at the engagement party he held her close, loving every soft lush, curve and the feel of her pressed tight against him. Every woman he dated he compared to her and they always fell short of the mark. Their lips where thin or they had shit injected into them, only an imitation of the soft, plump lips she had. Her ass, shit just thinking about it made him hard. Her breasts were full, rounded, large and firm, just like that ass. He smiled, at the thought of how he knew this. During their dance she had on a halter dress with a built-in bra, he knew this because he had rubbed his hands over her back not feeling a bra. Holding her tight and rubbing her back he could feel her nipples harden against his chest. By the end of the dance he was half hard and she was aroused too. For the rest of the night he kept his distance they were both there with dates. Puck had teased him over the years about his feelings for her, but Sam tried to play it off, but Puck knew him too well. Finally admitting it, Puck let him know she was single. That she had bought no one to the wedding. She had missed the dinner last night due to work but today they would be walking down the aisle together and he had every intention of letting her know he wanted her. Today Mercedes Jones would become his.
Mercedes POV
As she helped Quinn get dressed and calmed any mini panic attacks that arose, her thoughts were not on what she was doing but on him. At the thought of the green-eyed blond she was going to be walking down the aisle with a couple of hours from now, her heart began to race. The mere presence of him drove her to distraction. How in the world could one man be so damn gorgeous? Meeting him two years ago when they all got together for drinks had been her down fall. Throughout the years every time they met either she or he would be in a relationship or dating someone. How screwed up was that? She had never been as attracted to a man as she was to him. She remembered the first time she touched him. They shook hands and it felt like a jolt of lightening had hit her. They both had jumped and when she looked into his eyes, she could see the shock and something else in his eyes. From that first instant attraction it had only grown stronger over the years. Yes there was sexual attraction but there was more to it, shaking her head she sighed. Shivering she closed her eyes at the thought of how it felt to feel his huge hand with calloused fingers wrap around her small hand. But that was nothing compared to the dance they had at the engagement party she clenched her thighs at the memory. The way he ran his hands over her bare back and held her so close had her so wet she was sure he could tell; her damn nipples were poking him the chest! OMG, he was so tall, making her feel so feminine and dainty in his arms. She felt her nipples harden when she thought of his reaction to their dance, from the feel of him against her, he was a gold wrapper man! They didn't dance together again, her date Kenneth was eying them both. Yeah she got rid of Kenneth in less than a week, but the next time she saw him some redhead was wrapped around him. She laughed softly, remembering the look on his face, he was not happy with the handsy redhead. Also she might have made a point of flaunting her assets at him, she was single at the time so hey, if you got 'em show 'em. The looks he gave her had her wanting to rip his clothes off but she didn't touch him. She wasn't a cheater and neither was he. Talking with Quinn, she admitted after Quinn bugged the crap out of her, that yes she did like him and she wanted him. That's when Quinn told her he was single and had come to the wedding alone. Smiling with satisfaction, she thought to herself; today was definitely the day that Sam Evans became hers.
NPOV
Walking down the aisle she could see Sam, he looked like he had just stepped off the cover of GQ. Locking eyes with him she almost stumbled at the intense look he was giving her. Taking her place beside the bridesmaids she never lost eye contact with him. She didn't pay attention to the ceremony all she could think of was the green-eyed blond. As Quinn handed her bouquet for her to hold she smiled and winked at Mercedes, blushing she looked back at Sam, seeing that he was already looking at her.
Sam heard the music and when Mercedes stepped out to walk down the aisle he couldn't breathe for a moment. She was so beautiful, for a moment he wondered what she would look like in a white gown coming towards the altar for him. Their eyes locked and he didn't even look away to watch Quinn come down the aisle. He spent the entire ceremony looking at Mercedes, Puck had to tap him for the ring, Sam blushed as Puck gave him a knowing look and wink. Looking back at Mercedes, Sam couldn't help but to smile. For once they were both single at the same time, he was going to make the most of this God-given chance.
Tucking her hand in the crook of his arm he escorted her down the aisle behind Puck and Quinn. Just feeling her hand on his arm sent little shocks through his body. He could smell her vanilla and strawberries scent wrap around him, waking his body in the way that only she could. Looking down at her he could see her biting her plump bottom lip and he wanted to pull her into his arms to see if her lips tasted as good as they looked.
When he reached for her hand and tucked it in his arm she could feel her body tremble. Why was he causing her to react like this? She bit her lip thinking, would this, could this be them in a couple of years. Doing an internal face-palm she blushed, they were only walking down the aisle together, hell they weren't even dating! Sneaking a look up at him she met his gaze, her breath hitched at the look in his eyes. Squeezing his arm she shot him a flirty smile. Tonight was going to be the night she got her man.
Glancing over at Mercedes, Sam smiled she looked so happy, "So are you here with anyone?" he asked her. Shooting him a bit of side eye she answered with a touch of sass, "You know I'm not, just like you're here alone." He laughed at her answer, "Just checking, it seems like every time we see each other either one or both of us are with someone." Mercedes smiled up at him, "Not this time. So what are we going to do about it?" she asked.
Leading her out to the dance floor he pulled her close as she rested her hands on his shoulders. "I really like you Mercedes and I want to get to know you. You're smart, beautiful, kind, loving, and compassionate. Not to mention sexy as hell." he told her. "Those are the same things I can say about you Sam, but I'll go with handsome." she said with a laugh. Sam eyed her, tilting her face up, wanting to see her reaction to his words. "I want to give us a real chance. So we're going to take it slow and get to know each other. I want you so fucking bad but I'm willing to wait because I think you're worth it." he said. Reaching up to cup his cheek she smiled softly at him, "I want the same thing. I need to know you too and I have no problem going slow. I know that waiting and not rushing will make it so much sweeter when we get to that point." she said as she laid her head on his chest.
Listening to the beat of his heart as he tighten his hold on her she smiled, mission accomplished.
Inhaling that sweet scent that was unique only to Mercedes, Sam smiled, mission accomplished.
