Chapter 13

Something New

Unique was happily waltzing around her boutique tending to her customers when she saw Marley walk in looking slightly disheveled, she could already tell this was about to be some form of drama that she had no time for and quickly walked over to her friend.

"Honey why are you walking into my place looking anything but fabulous?' Unique asked pushing some of Marley's hair out of her face before moving it back when she saw the messed up mascara.

"I need your help." Marley said with a pathetic look.

"My help? Baby you need a bath and… what the hell is going on here?"

"Look I get it, I look rough but it took me a little while to accept what you told me and I just want to feel pretty again." Marley replied with a heavy sigh. Unique just looked at her with narrowed eyes wanting so badly to believe her but a small part of her knew there was something else.

"Okay, I'll give you a make-over and if I find out you're bullshitting me you will never see me coming, understand?" Unique asked firmly and Marley nodded before giving her a tight hug and thanking her.

"Come on, you can use my shower upstairs and then we can start from scratch." Unique instructed nodding her upstairs. She watched Marley disappear before shaking her head and going to tend to her other customers but before she could a familiar face walked in and her eyes went wide.

"Samuel Evans you can not be here." She said quickly grabbing him by the arm and turning him around.

"Good to see you again too." He replied with an amused chuckle.

"Your ex is here and I barely talked her off the ledge about you and miss thing. By the way how is she? Did she like the items I sent over?" Unique asked looking over her shoulder making sure Marley was still upstairs.

"She's good and yes she did. That's why I'm here again so soon, I need you to put together some pieces for us both." Sam answered ignoring the part about Marley being there because he didn't give a damn.

"How many pieces?"

"Seven a piece, two formal suited for warm climate and a little sexy number." He said with a smirk.

"Child…. Seven pieces a piece? How much time do I have?"

"Two weeks and if you can have them sent to Savannah that'll be great." Unique shot Sam an annoyed yet amused look.

"Anything else?" She asked and he just shook his head no.

"You're the best." He replied giving her a kiss on the cheek before walking out.

"And yes you will receive a sizable bonus."

Unique was somewhat shocked at the action because he hadn't been that warm in years, not since what happened with Marley. She'd known him even before becoming the fabulous woman that she was and he'd been her only investor when she wanted to open her shop. Even after basically paying for everything and ensuring her business succeeded Sam made sure after her first year everything was officially hers. She never felt like she owed him and he never made her feel that way, nine years of friendship and all it took was Marley Rose to go bat shit crazy and change the kind hearted person she just saw a glimpse of for the first time.

"I'm ready." Marley said from behind her, she turned and shot her smile but something was still not sitting well with her.

…

No flowers were sent today and Anthony couldn't be more happy because that meant the ones he brought was going to bring that sweet smile to her face. He walked out of his office with them in hand right as a delivery boy stepped off the elevator with a beautiful bouquet of soft purple roses and white carnations.

"Delivery for Ms. Jones." The young man said had already been there for the previous two deliveries, he smiled brightly at Mercedes who admittedly blushed yet again and thanked him.

"I see you have more flowers…" Anthony said rolling his eyes because the bouquet he bought looked like child put it together compared to the one she just received.

"Hmm, seems as-" She started before that same delivery boy appeared with another bouquet just as beautiful as first one and she shot him a confused look.

"Seems you're popular today." He said before shooting her another smile this time actually able to leave. Mercedes looked at the second bouquet which was admittedly beautiful but also seemed slightly over romantic being that they were red roses and they both had cards. She looked at the card that came with the roses immediately knowing they were not from Sam because of the message.

Hoping you change your mind and accept my offer for dinner.

Here's my number

912-555-0118

The one she was certain from Sam was simple and very much him, even though she could admit she still didn't really know him that well but still butterflies fluttered when she read his card.

Soon baby.

She chuckled checking her watch seeing that she needed to leave now the meet him at the address he texted her this morning, she hadn't even realized that Anthony was just standing there looking at her nor did she care because she was still beyond pissed at him.

"I heading to lunch, I should only be an hour." She informed and he just nodded before grumbling 'take as much time as you want' under his breath before walking back into his office and throwing the flowers he had away.

Mercedes took the two cards and placed then into her purse before grabbing the bouquet of red roses and taking them with her. She got on the elevator feeling giddy pushing the button to go to the garage and once the doors opened for her she walked straight to security tapping on the window and smiling brightly at her favorite guard.

"Hey Roderick how are you?" She asked.

"I'm good, I see you got some more flowers." He replied smiling back.

"Yeah but I was thinking you could give these to your wife." She said handing him the large bouquet giggle when he shot her a confused look.

"You sure?"

"Mhm, I got some better ones. I'll see you later." She said walking towards her car but when she arrived she saw Sam standing there looking devilishly handsome in a pair of jeans and a simple black v-cut Henley. He smiled when he saw her approaching before pulling her into him and kissing her fervently to the point her knees started to give way. Lucky for her he held her steady not letting up with his attack on her lips before breathing was beyond necessary and pulled away.

"You look beautiful." He breathed. She was wearing a black high waist pencil skirt, a pale pink lace camisole with a blazer and a pair of nude heels.

"Thank you, I thought I was meeting you there." She said feeling more butterflies fluttering when he mindlessly played with her hand.

"Can't have my baby driving on a date." He said before leading her to his car and opening the door letting her get in before closing. Once he go in he shot her a smile that both amused her and turned her on as well because she couldn't tell what he had planned.

…

Wherever he was taking her wasn't close, she was originally supposed to meet a local park but now she wasn't so sure. She was almost certain that she was going to be late getting back to work, a small piece of her was worried but another piece, a much bigger piece didn't give a damn because when had she even been late? When had she ever did anything that would make her this giddy? She was going on a lunch date with a gorgeous man and a very naughty part of her wanted it to end with the both of them moaning.

"You okay over there?" Sam asked slipping his hand around hers.

"Just excited." She answered with a blush which he noticed and just smirked as they pulled into the a secluded beach area. She watched as he got out grabbing something from the back before walking over to her side and opening the door for her to get out.

"Wait." He said kneeling and taking her heels off for her sitting them down on the floor. "You won't need them."

Sam escorted her down the dock onto the private beach smiling at her every so often until they reached where he was taking her. She couldn't help the surprised expression when she saw the set up, there was a trail of flowers leading to a beautiful picnic with small table covered in an assortment of foods and drinks and small plush pillows sitting onto of a blanket.

"Oh wow…" She said as he took off his shoes before nodding her over. She followed him sitting down right beside him still too stunned to say anything passed 'wow'.

"I hope you're-" Sam started but was cut off when she leapt over and kissed him shocking her self when she did.

"This is so beautiful and thoughtful." She said smiling and biting her lip.

"I'm happy you like it, gives me a reason to come out here." He said pouring her a glass of lemonade.

"Don't tell me you own the beach too." She joked making him chuckle.

"Baby, I ain't that rich and what money I do have I had to earn it the hard way but I do own the house." He said with a chuckle and nodding towards the house behind them with a sly grin that didn't go unnoticed by Mercedes.

"I don't know a lot about you…" She said grabbing a macaroon and moaning at the rich flavor when she bit into it.

"You really didn't look into me?" He asked shocked and she just simply shook her head no.

"You didn't seem like you would want me to do that… you made a point to mention that I didn't know who you were so I never got the urge to do it." She answered honestly, he couldn't help the slight smile that crossed his face because that meant his father was wrong before leaning over her and kissing her deeply earning a soft moan from her.

"We're gonna eat this food, I can't keep not letting you eat around me." Sam said when he pulled away and she just giggle with a nod because everything looked very good and she was hungry.

...

"So you have a younger brother and sister?" Mercedes asked taking another sip of the lemonade. They'd been talking about their childhoods and he made her laugh so hard talking about all the things he and his sibling got into as children. She'd told him all about how her brother used to take her everywhere with him when they were kids because for the longest he seriously believed she was his doll.

"Yeah, Stevie and Stacey."

"And are you still close to them?" She asked.

"Stevie… no but Stacey yes."

"What happened?" She asked giggling when he nipped at her neck before taking a bite out of another macaroon, as much as he wanted to have the lovely conversation on why he and his brother no longer get along he also wanted to kiss her again so Sam smiled at Mercedes before leaning over and kissing her deeply.

"Mmm... I only have thirty more minutes before I have to get back." Mercedes said between kisses and he just smiled before slipping his tongue into her mouth groaning at the sweet lingering taste of honey.

"That's plenty of time." He said wrapping an arm around her waist and picking her up. He used free hand to unzip his pants earning a whimper from her as she watched biting her lip.

Mercedes wasn't sure what was happening to her body because it had only been a few days but her it was already craving his, she watched as he freed his thick member before moving his hand underneath her skirt and moving her very wet panties to the side.

Sam looked directly into her eyes with very dark green eyes as he lowered her onto him. Mercedes couldn't help the moan of pure ecstasy that fell from her lips and she felt him slowly feeling her. Her held fell back when she was finally fully seated on him before she rocked her hips making them both groan out loudly.

Sam removed her top freeing her breast from her bra, a bra that he would have a chance to admire later but right now he needed to taste her skin again.

Mercedes wrapped her around his neck raking her fingers through his soft hair moaning when he gently bit down on her right breast before sucking her aching nipple into his mouth. She continued to rocked her hips against him enjoying the sensations his mouth and hard member were giving her, her breathing was heavy as she increased her movements earning a groan from Sam.

She didn't even care that it was broad daylight or that they were on the beach, she was completely enraptured in the pleasure her body was receiving and based on the subtle groans coming from Sam he was too.

Mercedes felt her peak nearing and felt her body slowly begin to shake in anticipation. Sam must have noticed because he gripped her hips helping her rock them against him while he began thrusting up into her adding more pressure to her already over stimulated g-spot. Her moans grew louder as her peak crashed throughout her body with Sam following right behind her letting out a deep groan.

He smiled seeing her flushed face before leaning up and kissing her deeply. She moaned softly when he slowly eased out of her before pulling her to lay next to him as their breathing began to regulate.

"You're amazing sweetheart." He said breaking their silence and Mercedes popped up looking at him intensely.

"Say that again, please." She said and he shot her an amused look.

"What? You're amazing?"

"The last part."

"Sweetheart." Sam said confused.

"I think..." She started right as both of their phones began going off. He chose to ignore his but nodded when she shot him an apologetic look before answering hers.

"Hello?" She answered knowing it was Anthony.

"You said an hour, you're not back yet." He said angrily into the receiver making her roll her eyes and let out a huff.

"It hasn't been an hour yet." She answered as she cradled the phone between her ear and neck attempting to slip on her bra but Sam snatched it away with a smirk.

"Jones I don't care what you do on your lunch hour but you" Anthony started before he heard her giggle. "Jones there isn't anything funny about what I'm saying."

"I'm not- I wasn't trying..." She stammered as Sam started kissing her neck again before capturing her lips in a toe curling kiss that made her moan softly.

"Jones!"

"I'm here, I- umm- am- trying- to... mmm." She said in between kisses before Sam ran a finger along her slit making her moan again.

"Are... are you alright?" Anthony asking knowing she wouldn't have answered if she was... would she?

"Ah-Actually, I t-think I-I a-ate something... bad." She lied feeling herself slipping into ecstasy as Sam began to finger her while using his free hand and mouth to please her nipples.

"Jones this is highly unprofessional and inconvenient." Anthony said and it pissed her off greatly.

"Fine, I won't be coming back or tomorrow." She said right as Sam descended in between her thighs chuckling because he was proud of her for putting Anthony in his place.

"WE HAVE WORK TO DO! THIS IS UNACCEPT-" Anthony started before hearing a click feeling shocked.

"Did she just hang up on me?" He asked his self before dialing again only getting her voicemail this time. He called again three more times before finally giving up. He heard a knock on his door and was greeted by a beautiful woman with a warm smile.

"Hi, I'm Marley Rose and I'm here for the assistant position."

"Oh you must be mistaken, I don't have-" Anthony started but stopped smirking thinking this would light a fire under Mercedes's ass to not lie to him again.

"Actually come right this way. I am looking for a new second assistant." Anthony said putting on his charming smile.

"Oh great!" Marley said sweetly while checking this off of her mental list of things to ruin Mercedes Jones.

…

"He's at mom's."

"You certain of that?"

"He's not home and he's definitely not in New York."

"He's ruining shit yet again over a woman!"

"I don't know… Sam never goes there so maybe-"

"Maybe nothing if he screws up we all look bad. Do whatever you need to do and get me that information on her."

Soo... I'm only going to say that Sam is going to show a different side to him and so is Mercedes. It's about to get juicy.

*Also no harm will come to our girl and Sam is going to set them both straight ;)

*and Unique will be back :)
