A/N: Hiiiii! Enjoy!
Chapter 18:
Undecided
Sam smiled as he watched Mercedes playing with the local children, she wanted him to show him how he really lived so he decided to take her to a local orphanage to meet the kids. He had been allocating funds from his father's business since his first visit to the island, that's how he found the little hide away.
His father only pretended to donate to charities, he would always make appearances but never donated at the events unless Sam leaked that he planned to make a sizable donation. He started visiting the different places around Savannah, New York, Nashville and Honolulu, he made sure to send in clothes and toys along with keeping up any building maintenance needed.
"So you come here every time you visit or are you just trying to impress me to the point where I say forget the.. twenty-eight hours remaining?" Mercedes asked with a half smile.
"Hmm… before I answer if that was the case would you?" He countered and Mercedes would be lying if she didn't want to rip his clothes off because finding out that he spent his time doing this was very sexy.
"Maybe." She teased with a sly smile.
"No, I really wanted to show you what I do on my down time." He answered and Mercedes couldn't help but groan because he was choosing to be honest.
"This is very noble of you." She said smiling up at him moving closer to him before she was pulled away by a few of the older girls to teach her some of their traditional dances. Sam watched on in amazement as she moved her hips and hands while laughing along with the girls before his phone started to go off.
He looked down and saw it was from an unknown number and started to ignore the text before reading the initial message.
Do you really know the woman you're fucking?
Sam stared at the messages before down loading the images and immediately felt his face grow pale, He didn't know when they were taken but he recognized the outfit and from the side profile it looked a lot like Mercedes. He looked up and noticed her still dancing with the kids and smiling, he studied her face and when she turned to the side it was too uncanning for him not to question but he also knew that she didn't care for Anthony so he decided to ignore the images for now.
...
Mercedes couldn't help feeling Sam seemed a little distracted when they headed back to the house and decided to just ask him what was bothering him.
"Everything okay?" She asked looking over at him and noticing he looked relax but his silence was deafening. Sam looked at her for a minute before sighing and pulling over then turning his body to face her completely.
"I'm just going to get this out of the way, have you an Anthony ever had any type of relationship?" He asked and Mercedes shot him a confused look.
"God no, why?" She answered still confused and when Sam pulled out his phone and showed her his phone she couldn't help laughing.
"Oh my goodness! She does look like me though but ugh hell no! He hasn't so much as touched me… is that what's bothering you?"
"You'll have to forgive me the comparison is uncanny." Sam said apologetically.
"Hmm, well I guess you don't know my body that well." She countered teasingly and Sam noticed the subtle hint of lust in her voice.
"I guess I should reacquaint myself with it, get a better learning." He said unbuckling his and her seat belt before moving his seat back, Mercedes let out an excited breath when he reached over and picked her then placing her on his lap.
Sam looked up at Mercedes admiring her beautiful face while running his hands along her shoulders moving the thin straps of her dress down exposing her breast to him. He was so happy she chose to wear the dress she had on because it was short giving him plenty of access to her thighs. More importantly it gave him access to what was waiting for him in between said thighs, he knew that time wasn't up but he couldn't wait any longer.
He slowly ran his hands along her breast, softly kneading them earning a whimper from Mercedes and that cause his already hard member to throb anymore. He knew he wasn't going to be able to much foreplay because he needed to be buried inside of her, quickly. He wrapped his arms around her pulling her close so he could take one of her nipples into his mouth and when she moaned he damn near lost control.
"Shit, I'm sorry but I can't wait." Sam said lifting her and pulling his shorts down Mercedes watched his member pop out of his shorts and could help the lustful groan that came out of her. She could describe how much her aches to be filled by him again and based on the current state of her panties she was just as aroused as he was. Sam thumbed her panties and smirked before ripping them clean off of her, he careless threw the ripped underwear behind them then brought his hands back to her hips lifting her again so she slightly hovering over him.
He lowered her onto him and groaned loudly as he was slowly wrapped up in her warmth until she was fully seated on him, Mercedes mind completely went blank as the pleasure of him entering her overtook her ability to do anything expect moan. She shuddered as his hands tightened and untightened on her hips when she was completely filled with him. She could tell he was giving them both a moment to marvel in their closeness before moved his hands making her rock against him, Mercedes let out a strangled moan when she felt him moving her hips.
She threw her head back and started moving against him on her own needing more than the slow passes he was giving, Sam smirked when she started to take control and ride him and he moved his hands from her hips to her breast before taking one into his mouth earning a sharp intake from her. Mercedes wrapped her hands into his hair loving how his mouth made love to her sensitive nipples as she continued to ride him and feeling herself nearing her peak. She shifted everything so slightly which made Sam moan against her skin before she started slowly rising and lowing herself onto his hard member.
Sam threw his head back when she started bouncing on his dick, he knew she was a little freak but he wasn't expecting this from her and when her moans got louder he was rather impressed that the shy woman was throwing caution to the wind because I wasn't like no one couldn't hear them. The spot he'd taken them wasn't as isolated as she believed and he knew any other time the road they were on would be busy but good timing gave them an advantage. He felt his self nearing his climax and needed so badly for her to release so he started matching her movements which made her cry out loudly and he soon followed after a few more thrust into groaning her name.
Mercedes moved back looking at him while her chest heaved, her cheeks were flushed and her hair was a mess but she felt in that moment alive and very much free. She let out a soft whine when he slowly lifted her and placed her in her seat. She started to say something but both of their phones went off at the same time, she recognized that little jingle and knew it was her father's.
"Umm… I have to get it. It's my dad." She breathed taking a deep breath so she didn't sound winded when she answered.
"Hey daddy…"
"Hey teacup, where are you?"
"Oh I'm actually on a little vacation." She said with small smile looking over at Sam who just winked at her before adjusting himself and checking his own phone.
"Oh that's good baby cakes." Her father said and Mercedes immediately got worried, her father rarely called that and when he did it meant bad news.
"Daddy what's wrong?"
"Tristen, he and Lena were in a wreck… it's not looking good." Mercedes felt the air leave her lungs and couldn't fathom the words her father just said to her, she tried to speak but nothing would come out and Sam seemed to noticed her current of distress.
"Mercedes?" He asked before she looked at him with tears brimming in her eyes as her phone began to slip from her hands. Sam was quick to grab it, he started to ask again but when the first sob came out he immediately grabbed her and held her close.
"Hey… what's wrong?"
"I have to go, I need to go home… my brother." She managed to get out and Sam didn't waste any time, he gently placed her back in her seat and fastened her seat belt before pulling back onto the road and taking her back to the house. He drove quickly but efficiently and got her back in no time, he helped her inside before getting everything set up for her to get back home.
Mercedes was completely in shock, she was literally an ocean away and she had to be told over the phone. Sam called Kitty to let her know the change in schedule and for her to contact Unique to have clothes sent for Mercedes so she wouldn't need to pack and could go straight to Lima. He called Kai, letting him know he wouldn't need him to come back then he finally contacted his pilot and had him to bring a chopper. Sam had to stay back but he would make sure she made it home safely.
"Hey baby, I'm going to get you home okay?" Sam said and Mercedes just nodded looking at him with a saddened expression.
"I.. I'm sorry about ruining the trip."
"Don't apologize, you didn't know that was going to happen. I'll need your address in Lima so Unique can send a few things over for you so you won't have to pack. I, unfortunately won't be able to come out with you immediately because of the deal I still have to conclude but I will once it's done." Sam explained and Mercedes wasn't sure but it stung a little to know he wouldn't be going with her but work was important to him.
"Thank you." She replied before giving him her parents address.
Everything moved pretty fast from there, Sam pulled Mercedes into a comforting hug before placing a gentle kiss on her forehead. He promised to call her in after she landed and told his pilot to make sure she made it to the airstrip safely. He hated not being able to come but he had to finish his work here before leaving and if had postponed his meetings for the first few days and he had every intention on postponing until their trip ended.
...
Mercedes couldn't remember the moment she got onto the helicopter to the moment she boarded his private jet, she just know she saw her name on a sign waiting when she landed in Ohio hours later. She'd pretty much slept the entire flight out of nerves and now all she wanted to do was get home to get more information. She called her parents to let them know she was in Ohio and that she would be headed home, she didn't want to go to the hospital not now at least.
When she arrived home her mother greeted her at the door with a somber smile and opened her arms which Mercedes immediately fell into crying. Maxine Jones held onto her daughter knowing this news would hit her hard especially since her brother was her best friend. She moved them inside and Mercedes had to blink when she saw the amount of flowers there.
"Wait is he? Are they?" She stammered and her mother shook her head with a light chuckle.
"No these have been coming every hour and only stopped when you let us know you landed, also you have package waiting for you upstairs in your room." Maxine said and Mercedes knew they were from Sam.
"Oh, ok… where's daddy?" She asked knowing her mother wanted to know who exactly was sending bouquets of flowers for her.
"He's at the hospital, I actually just came back to meet you and see if you wanted to drive over with me?"
"I… I don't want to see him like that." Mercedes answered honestly.
"Baby, we're a praying family so he will recover and so will Lena."
"What about the baby?" Mercedes asked and Maxine shot her a look that didn't need explaining.
"The wreck was very bad but as long as Lena remains stable so does the baby. We just… have to be ready for whatever is thrown our way." Maxine said with a sad sigh.
"I will go tomorrow." She said and the seemed to make her mother somewhat happy.
"Get some rest, there's food in the oven we'll be back later tonight… if we come back." Her mother said giving her another tight hug which she returned.
"Don't think for one second I won't be revisiting the flowers with you." Maxine said before pulling away and heading out. Mercedes looked around at the flowers and smiled because it was very thoughtful, she walked upstairs to her old room noticing the garment bag laying on her bed and right before she opened it her phone started to ring. It was Sam, calling like he promised he would and she felt herself smile.
"Hello?"
"Hey baby, how are you?"
"I'm okay… I'm home. Thank you for the flowers."
"You're welcome, I'm sorry I can't be there for you right now."
"It's okay, thank you for getting me here so quickly." She replied and she didn't hear anything for a minute before she heard the jingle for facetime. She answered and Sam was looking at her with a concerned look.
"Are you really okay baby? I can leave here now." Sam said looking at his watch. "I can get the plane ready to depart in thirty minutes."
"Sam… you don't have any right to ask that of you. Besides, I really should be here with my family and I would probably be a mess the whole time and I honestly don't even know if when I'll be able to get back to Savannah…" Mercedes replied and Sam furrowed his eyebrows at her, nodding slowly.
"I understand that and I don't want to crowd you. Be with your family and don't worry about your place in Savannah I'll make sure it's taken care of until you return." Sam said and she heard the way he said return.
"That's the thing… what if I don't?"
Mercedes wasn't sure where this realization was coming from but a piece of her kinda felt the veil had been lifted and she was thrown back into the reality of her now life. She was jobless and didn't have an idea on how long she would need to be here or if she was going to have to bury her brother. There was so much going through her mind and she didn't know how to process everything and then there was the man looking at her. So handsome and in just a short time showed her so much but what the hell did she really have to offer him?
"It sounds like you've made your mind up on that particular topic and it's only been a few hours." Sam said cutting into her thoughts.
"I just… don't know." She replied honestly and Sam simply nodded.
"Far enough." Sam said. "I'll give you space, be with your family baby." He added before ending the call leaving Mercedes feeling like shit for pushing him away out of fear… but she wasn't sure what she was fearing.
…
"STEVEN JOSEPH EVANS!"
"Ohhh shit…" Stevie said to his self while waiting patiently for Marley to show up to the place they agreed to meet.
"I know you can hear me so don't make me say shout your name again!"
"Fuck, fuck, fuck…" Stevie said scrambling noticing people were looking around trying to figure out just who the hell Steven was and why he was being yelled at and when the person stopped directly in front of him he closed his eyes for a moment before reopening them only to be met by a tiny fist making contact with his face.
"Seems we have a lot of catching up to do now don't we little brother?" Stacey Evans said and the look on her face let him know this wasn't the kind of talk that complete strangers should witness.
Soooooo... Y'all didn't really think I mean drama because of that message did you? Nah but things are about to be very Evans centered... just for alittle ;) Also Heyyyy Stacey! Wonder who called her? Hmm... I guess we'll have to wait and see right? Until next time XOXO!
