Chapter 2
"So..." Santana said after she parked at Sam's looking at him with a knowing look.
"It was an accident and I think we should leave it at that." Sam lied and avoided her eye contact.
"Oh bull shit! You and Cedes may have fooled everyone else but I know what two attracted people who are denying their feelings look like, prime example me and my attraction to Brit. Plus I dated you so I know what you look like when you lie because you don't do it often, so admit it." She replied calmly.
"Fine… it started a few months ago after me and Quinn got into that big fight, I went over and she was just..."
"Amazing and gave you the best damn advice ever but she made you feel warm and safe… cared for?" Santana finished understanding exactly what he was trying to say.
"Yeah but she's always been that way it was different this time, she made sure we worked everything out and was just there for me in a way that Quinn usually isn't." Sam said feeling bad for even feeling that way.
"Look, I'm not going to make you tell Quinn anything but you know Cedes better than most of us so you know she had a moment of weakness. Don't put her in that position again unless you plan on being completely honest with everyone involved including yourself."
"Why weren't you this nice when we dated?" He joked before leaning over and giving her a hug.
"Eh, Cedes managed to break into my cold heart, I can swing back by on my way to her house if you want."
"Nah, I'll drive, thanks San… for everything." He said before getting out and going inside.
When he got inside he checked and saw that his mom left him a note letting him know they would be back Sunday afternoon and that if he planned on having anyone over to call and ask first. She also let him know there was money for food and that they loved him. He lounged around for a little before going to take a quick shower and packing his bag for the night, right as he finished he decided to head over there hopefully before the everyone else did to apologize.
Mercedes managed to get all the rooms ready and let Ms. Ruthie know that she was having an approved slumber party and if they got too loud to just let her know, she pulled out all of the games they had and set them on the coffee table right as there was a knock on her door. She opened and saw Sam standing there with his bag and some other bags letting him in and saying a silent prayer.
"I grabbed some extra snacks so you wouldn't have to pay for everything." He said placing his bag down and walking the snacks into the kitchen with her following behind him not sure what to say but figuring they should at least clear the air before everyone else got there.
"Sam we should talk about earlier..."
"I agree." He said placing the bags onto the counter before he started to unload them. "I need to apologize for putting you in that situation especially since you and Quinn are so close and I would never want to ruin our friendship." He added looking at her with a sad smile.
"I want to apologize too because I should have stopped you and I don't want to ruin our friendship either, you're seriously my bestfriend and I don't want… I don't want to mess that up." She replied with a small smile.
"You could never mess it up Cedes, I plan on telling Quinn but not tonight… I don't want to mess up everyone's night." He admitted and saw the worry in her eyes. "Hey she'll understand and she won't be mad at you." He walked over to her, placing his hands on her shoulders giving her silly shake.
"I want to be there when you tell her so she knows that it happened and we didn't intend on it happening or plan on allowing it to happen again." Mercedes said and Sam nodded before giving her a smile.
"Okay, deal… Santana knows but she said she wouldn't say anything."
"The sooner we tell Quinn the better." She responded as they heard knocks on the door before hearing it open.
"Guess who brought the best snacks ever!" Puck shouted when they walked back into the living room feeling better now they'd talked but they were both fooling themselves thinking it was that simple.
After everyone arrived, Mercedes showed them their rooms even though Puck insisted he needed to keep his things in her room making her roll her eyes and Sam shot him a mean look that didn't go unnoticed by Kurt and Santana, they all decided to watch a few movies and snack before playing games. Everyone gathered in her living room all talking over each other about what they should watch before Tina suggested they all write down a movie and then pull randomly from a hat and after everyone wrote there's down they voted that Santana pick.
"Okay looks like we're watching… Jigsaw." Santana said shooting a look at Puck knowing he was the only one that would suggest a horror movie.
"Okay, let's go make the popcorn and drinks." Mercedes said with the girls following while the guys hung back, got the movie ready and grabbed some blankets.
"Hey, has anyone talked to Quinn?" Tina asked and Mercedes shot her a nervous look before grabbing some of the drinks Sam brought over and a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos.
"No, maybe she's just running late." Kurt said, sharing a look with Santana.
"Hey Brit, why don't you and Tina take the drinks and we'll bring the popcorn and chips." Santana suggested to her girlfriend giving her a light kiss watching them grab the drinks and walk back into the living room before Kurt grabbed Mercedes's arm and they shoved her into the pantry.
"Mercy-me what the hell is going on with you and Sam?" Kurt asked, getting to the point.
"Way to be subtle Hummel." Santana said, shaking her head.
"Nothing..." Mercedes responded, fiddling with her fingers.
"Spill it because Sam did." Santana said, giving her a knowing look.
"He said you wouldn't say anything!"
"Wait what happened?" Kurt asked, feeling left out.
"I only know what I saw and from what I saw… it was more than nothing that she's implying."
"Oh God." Mercedes said with a groan. "You saw that?"
"I mean it was wanky." Santana quipped with a smirk making Mercedes groan again.
"It was just a kiss..." She said knowing it was more than that.
"You kissed Sam!" Kurt said before they both shh'd him to which he held up his hands to let them know he understood. "You kissed Sam?" He whispered this time a slow smirk growing on his face.
"He technically kissed me and I kissed him back but it won't happen again. I agreed to be there when he told Quinn and I just really… what?" Mercedes said before stopping noticing the looks on their faces.
"You're making him tell Quinn?" Santana asked, rolling her eyes.
"I'm not making him he said would and since I didn't stop him immediately-"
"Oh please Quinn isn't as innocent as she pretends to be and it's not like no one doesn't know about the attraction between the two of you. Hell I can feel the sexual tension and he's not even in here plus-" Santana stopped when Kurt pinched her arm.
"Whatever you two decide we support you but just be careful." Kurt said glaring at Santana before shooting Mercedes a sweet smile.
"What was that?" She asked, narrowing her eyes on them both.
"It's not for us to say and besides you already said it won't be happening again so let's just go have some fun." Kurt said before walking out of the pantry grabbing Santana's arm forcing her out as well, Mercedes just shook her head and walked out running right into Puck.
"Sorry Hot moma, do you have any marshmallows?" He asked, smiling down at her when she shot him a confused look.
"It's for later, we were thinking about making s'mores since you have a fire pit in the back."
"Oh, well you know where everything is so go ahead and check but I'm sure we do." She replied, still stuck in her own head.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing just a lot on my mind is all, is Quinn here yet?"
"Yeah she just got here. You sure? You look worried."
"I'm sure, thanks for asking though." She said giving him a quick hug before walking into the living room looking at everyone smiling until she saw Sam and Quinn kiss, she forced herself to look away and put on a normal smile as she walked over to sit next to Kurt.
"Okay ready?" Puck asked nudging Mercedes slightly until she moved over and when he sat down he pulled her close giving her a sly smile that she chose to ignore.
Her living room was spacious and had plenty of places to sit since her father wanted it to feel homey. He'd bought the biggest sectional that he could find along with a large love seat and an even larger two person recliner. There were two large cushion topped ottomans along with a decent sized coffee table and end tables, he mounted an eighty inch tv with surround sound.
Everyone got comfortable grabbing the snacks and drinks they wanted before they all nodded for Puck to start the movie. Mercedes made sure to have enough blankets for anyone that wanted one and smiled when she saw that everyone seemed to be comfortable.
They all sat and enjoyed the movie every so often you'd hear a gasp from someone from a jump scare, Puck kept his arm around her and she didn't think much of it until she would look over at Sam who would be eyeing them before he would look away.
Everyone else seemed to be in their own little bubbles with Tina and Mike stealing kisses, Santana and Brittany not even watching the movie and every so often Puck would nip at her neck but for the most part she was indeed watching the movie. Halfway through the film she decided she needed to call her parents and let them know that everything was okay, she wiggled out of Noah's embrace before excusing herself running upstairs to her bedroom.
Hey mommy!
Hey sweetie, how are you? Are you going to be okay with us being gone this week?
I thought it was just the weekend but yes I should be fine. How's daddy?
Oh you know talking about teeth and the importance of brushing in circles.
Sounds riveting… I just wanted to check in and let you know I still had the slumber party.
Okay baby, do you have enough money for snacks and food?
Mhm.
"Alright, be good and I love you and I know to tell your dad you love him as well. Go be with your friends… have fun for the both of us."
"I'm sure you and daddy will have fun too. I love you I'll call again tomorrow." She replied before hanging up shaking her head at her mother's silliness.
"Moma Jones okay?" She heard from behind her making her jump slightly.
"I swear you have a death wish and you know how she feels about those conventions." She replied with a light laugh.
"She hates them but loves the travel, yeah I know. We wanted to see about ordering some pizzas and wanted to vote on it." Sam said and they could both feel the awkwardness as well as the undeniable pull that only fully surfaced after they shared the kiss.
"Oh okay yeah we can go so they're not waiting." She said getting off her bed and walking towards the door where Sam was currently standing and blocking her way, she looked up at him noticing his eyes were fixed on her causing her to shift slightly. He didn't say anything or make an attempt to move instead he just looked at her before stepping forward forcing her to move back, his eyes were locked on hers saying everything he couldn't and deep down she knew hers were saying so much too but she needed to stop this before it was too late.
"Sam stop." She said softly and unconvincing because he just wrapped one of his arms around her pulling her close. She felt butterflies fluttering and soft tingles rushing throughout her body, she wasn't sure why any of this was remotely happening now but she knew Santana was right about there always being an attraction between the two of them.
"I'm trying but…. Fuck it." He said before crashing his lips onto hers capturing the soft whimper that escaped her before she melted into his embrace, wrapping her around his neck kissing him back. Sam kicked her door close with his foot before turning them around and pushing her against it, keeping her there by lightly leaning into her, Mercedes moved her hands down his neck to his broad shoulders before letting the fall down his chest earning a slight groan from Sam.
She moved her hands down before they were underneath his shirt lightly caressing his firm chest making him shudder as his hands moved down her back before reaching her hips pulling her into him, earning a soft moan. He moved one hand underneath her shirt feeling her quiver and reveling in how soft her skin felt against his hand, he started nipping at her neck placing open mouth kisses smiling when she tilted her head back so he would have more access to her skin.
"Yo Hot Moma, Trouty! We're hungry!" They heard Puck making them both move away from each other breathing heavily right as the door tried to open.
"Merce, Sam in there with you?" Puck asked, trying to open the door again but Mercedes still hadn't moved.
"Yeah dude, she was on the phone with her mom… you almost got us caught." Sam lied.
"Shit okay, well hurry up!" He responded and they waited until they heard him walking away before Mercedes moved from the door trying to fix herself.
"Let that be the last time that happens." She said before opening the door and walking out feeling all kinds of guilty, Sam grabbed her arm before she reached the stairs pulling her away into one of the guest rooms.
"You can't deny what that was in there, Mercedes." He said once they were inside.
"I'm not denying anything, I just don't want to be that person and ever since we kissed earlier… Sam you were literally down there kissing your girlfriend and now you're up here. I can't do this to either of you and certainly not myself so please just try to pretend it's nothing for me." She said before walking out of the room and down the stairs getting looks from both Santana and Kurt which she couldn't even hide what she was thinking.
"Okay so did you decide on the pizza?" She asked, sitting down next to Noah, seeing Sam from the corner of her eye looking at her as he sat down next to Quinn. The mood in the room had shifted, Mercedes could feel it and when she made the mistake of looking at Sam and Quinn she knew by the random silence that fell over them the others felt it too.
"Yeah we just ordered a wide range of pizzas and we're all going to pitch in so you don't have to pay yourself." Puck said clearly the only one that didn't notice and if he did he hid it very well.
"Yeah and we figured we could play some games and listen to music… dance around before watching another movie." Tina said.
"Sounds fun!" She responded smiling at her friend.
"I say we play spin the bottle!" Santana said smirking, earning looks from both Sam and Mercedes before everyone else agreed, they both knew if they objected the others would want to know why and that wasn't a conversation she was ready to have.
"Fine." Mercedes said before helping Santana move the coffee table as puck went to find an empty bottle and Tina chose some music before they all sat in a circle.
"Okay I'll go first!" Puck said and everyone looked at him like he was crazy.
"Ah no Cedes will go first, it's her house!" Santana said and everyone else agreed, making Mercedes roll her eyes. She reached over and spun the bottle waiting patiently for it to stop only for it to land on Mike, and she shot a look at Tina and when she nodded she knew she was okay with it. Mercedes and Mike leaned towards each other lightly pecking each other on lips before sitting back earning some whistles from the others.
Mike went next and it landed on Santana who didn't even wait to get Tina's approval before kissing him making everyone laugh, She took her turn and landed on Quinn and all the guys looked super excited as they leaned in and kissed before pulling away with everyone cheering. Quinn took her turn and it landed on Puck making the whole room grow silent and Puck shocked everyone by leaning over and kissing her on the cheek before taking his turn.
"Okay let's see who's the lucky one that gets to kiss moi?" Puck said spinning the bottle and Mercedes closed her eyes not wanting it to land on her but it did and when she opened her eyes there were two sets of eyes on her. Puck's hazel and playful eyes then Sam's green and intense ones, she shifted slightly before leaning in and kissing him quickly before trying to pull away but he held her there kissing her deeply and only pulled away when she pressed her hand to his chest.
"Mmm… I missed those kisses." Puck said smirking and Mercedes rolled her eyes. She took a deep breath and spun the bottle again feeling Sam eyes on her before it landed on Kurt and she smiled before pulling him in for a playful kiss.
"Are we going to ignore what Puck just did and said?" Britney said, making everyone shoot her look.
"I think it was a good question personally." Sam said and Mercedes looked at him with her eyes wide.
"Oh shit..." Santana quipped trying to hold back a laugh.
"It was just a kiss, leave it be." Mercedes nodded for Kurt to go.
"Hold on Hot Moma, that was a good kiss and you know it." Puck defended and she let out a deep breath.
"Fine, it was good, can we move on now?"
"I'm not sure what's happening but this is more interesting than that movie we just watched." Mike whispered to Tina and she nodded in agreement.
"Why don't we just finish the game." Blaine suggested handing the bottle to his boyfriend.
"Just good or really good?" Sam questioned, now earning a look from Quinn.
"Sam why does it matter? They used to date. That's not his first time kissing her." Quinn asked looking at her boyfriend then to Mercedes.
"Oookay I'm spinning!" Kurt said, spinning the bottle and smiling when it landed on Blaine, he quickly kissed his boyfriend and Blaine took his turn with it landing on Tina. They shared a quick yet questioning kiss before Tina took her turn and much to Mercedes annoyance it landed on her, she had no problem kissing Tina she just didn't want to go again.
After their quick kiss she spun the bottle hoping it landed on anyone but Puck or Sam but her luck wasn't on her side it landed in between them, she shrugged and was going to hand the bottle off to someone else before Santana grabbed it.
"Nope someone else has to spin for you." She said spinning it and this time it landed on Sam, she let out a heavy breath before shaking her head.
"No, not doing this." She started to stand up but Quinn grabbed her hand.
"Cedie, it's okay. You know I'm fine with you kissing him." She said with a reassuring smile that made her feel like shit.
"See Quinn's cool with you two kissing so kiss." Santana said, earning a dark look from both Mercedes and Sam.
"Yeah guys, it's just a kiss and we'll end it here because it's getting too intense." Mike said and everyone nodded their agreement.
"Okay." Mercedes said slowly before leaning over to quickly kiss Sam before Puck spoke up.
"It has to be a real kiss not a peck."
"I agree." Quinn said getting a weird feeling because she knew Mercedes didn't want to kiss Sam but she wasn't sure why. Sam looked at Mercedes who looked pissed but just nodded before moving so she was directly in front of him, Quinn nodded at Sam to go ahead as she and everyone else watched closely.
Sam moved closer gently cupping her face brushing his lips against hers before fully kissing her and Mercedes had to fight back the soft moan that was threatening to escape when she kissed him back. The kiss was sweet before Sam deepened it by wrapping an arm around her pulling her closer and she started to melt into his embrace only stopping when she remembered everyone was watching them. She pulled away looking at him for a brief moment then moved from her spot ignoring all the looks she was getting right as the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it." She said with a shaky breath and she got up walking to the door to get their pizzas.
"Well shit… she never looked like that after I kissed her." Puck said, finally figuring out what was happening around him.
"Hmm." Quinn said, narrowing her eyes at Santana because she knew she knew something.
Well..
