Mercedes smiled as she ran over to her laptop and accepted the skype call that was coming through. Since she had moved from L.A. to this small town called Lima with her son, and working from home as blogger, she rarely met or saw people. And seeing Santana's smile spread across her screen placed a smile on her face as well. Things were different in Lima and she was having a hard time making friends and meeting those she could relate to like in L.A. It took her weeks to even find a dance studio where she could dance in private like she did back home. After injuring her ankle, dancing and living in L.A. was just not the world for her but she couldn't completely leave it behind.

"Okay girl, you know why I called. Spill it!" Santana said. Mercedes knew exactly why she called and it had something to do with the crazy date she had agreed to go on last night.

"Do I really need to spill it?"

"Yes, I need to know what happened." Santana smiled as she moved closer to the screen. A week ago Mercedes agreed to allow Santana to make an online dating profile for her and they agreed to try out one of the only black men that said he wanted to see her. She was slightly disappointed that only one guy stood out to her.

"Well…"

"Oh lord I can already tell the date went horribly wrong. Why didn't you call me or text me?" Santana asked cutting her off. Mercedes rolled her eyes as she thought about the date. The date was definitely something worth blogging about.

"It wasn't horrible but it left me wondering so much." Mercedes explained. "First, he was decent looking and matched what his profile picture showed."

"Okay that's a good sign. Did he like what he saw when he saw you?"

"That's what I was left wondering…" Mercedes paused as she tried to remember if he showed any sign at all. "The thing is I am used to the way guys from L.A. react when they are attracted. And you know how Shane acted when he saw me…"

"See I'm goin' to stop you right there, Aretha!" Santana said cutting her off. "Shane is not in Ohio. You are…you need to let Shane go and stop comparing them." Mercedes knew she was right and shook her head as she continued the story.

"Right…anyway…so Tank…that's his name by the way." Mercedes paused as Santana busted out laughing. "Yeah I know, he's trying to be a rapper or something."

"Next!" Santana said pointing to the left. "How old is he like 13? You don't go on dates giving out your mixtapes and rap names."

"Oh yeah and he gave me his mixtape." Mercedes sighed as she showed Santana the mixtape. "I just don't get it. I really just don't get it."

"Well you know you can always try the other guys that hit you up." Santana suggested. Mercedes glared at her and rolled her eyes.

"Now you know I can't be out here in hick town dating no white man. This ain't L.A. where everybody just bumps ugly with everybody."

"Mercedes. Jones. Let me find out that you're racist."

"I can't be racist." Mercedes replied as she leaned back in her seat and checked out the time. She was late to pick up her son from school. "I am just stating the reality. Plus I have always dated black men and they are sexy as hell to me."

"What's the definition of insanity?" Santana asked. Mercedes glared at her best friend and stood up looking for her car keys.

"The definition of insanity is not minding your damn business." She smiled and flashed two fingers in the air. "I gotta go pick up Jayden from school. I'm late. We can continue this chat later after I get back from the dance studio."

"Aight, I'll let you slide this time but tonight we are picking you a different race for you to date." Santana smiled the hung up. Mercedes sighed and shook her head as she made her way to the door.

Sam groaned when he was told that he had to escort the kids out for pick up. He hated doing it simply because he was always stuck with one child whose parents didn't pick up on time. He had his own child that he needed to take home. Luckily for him, his son also went to the school. He watched as the children ran over to their parents and then smiled as his son ran to him.

"Dad, you gotta see what I made today in art class." Aaron said flashing a picture he drew of what looked like a superhero.

"Wow, that looks awesome!" he said as he ruffled his son's blonde hair. Aaron frowned and fixed his hair with his fingers and then glared at his dad. "Sorry champ, bad habit." Sam smiled and looked at the other students as they slowly started to disappear. "Okay, things are going great. Looks like parents are on time today."

"Can we stay a minute longer, dad? I made a new friend and he likes to draw too." Aaron asked as he pointed over to a little black boy that was sitting on a bench and drawing in his notebook. "He's right over there."

"Well, his parents aren't here so we have to stay till they make it here." Sam groaned. He watched as Aaron ran back over to his new friend and they both began to talk. Sam walked over to them realizing they were they only two kids left waiting for pick up. "What's goin' on guys?" he asked and smiled when they both stopped talking and looked at him.

"Dad, look what Jayden drew." He took the boy's notebook and handed it to Sam. Sam was definitely impressed. Aaron knew how to draw but this boy's drawing was on another level. He drew almost as well as Sam did.

"You drew this?" Sam asked.

"Uh yeah, why?" he asked looking around nervously as Sam flipped through the notebook which looked like it was turned into a comic book.

"This is some pretty good stuff."

"Thanks, Mr. Evans." He replied reaching for the notebook even though Sam wasn't done looking. He looked up as he placed the notebook in his bag and pointed towards the light across the street. "My mom's here now." He smiled and threw his bag over his shoulder.

"Dad, I was just inviting him over for to hang at the house. He said we'd have to ask his mom." Aaron made a face as if he thought it was strange. Sam smiled and nodded his head as he watched Jayden's mother turn into the parking lot. She parked her car and then opened the door and stepped out. Sam smiled as she flashed the prettiest smile he'd ever seen his way.

"I'm sorry I'm late…I lost track of time." Mercedes said as she ran over to them. Jayden smiled as he looked over at Sam waiting on him to ask what Aaron wanted him to ask.

"It's alright. Seems like my son and your son have something in common." Sam said. Both Aaron and Jayden both looked at him raising their eyebrows pushing for him to ask. Sam noticed but ignored them as he tried to get Mercedes to stick around and talk more.

"Oh really?" Mercedes looked over at Aaron and saw the drawings in his hand and smiled. "Oh okay I see…those are really nice…"

"Aaron…his name is Aaron mom." Jayden said quickly. "And Mr. Evans wanted to ask…"

"I'm Sam Evans by the way." Sam interrupted him and extended his hand for to shake. She flashed her pretty smile his way again and the tucked a stray hair away before taking his hand in hers.

"Nice to meet you Sam, I'm Mercedes." They held hands for a minute shaking it before Sam realized that the boys were still looking at them.

"So….um…yeah…" he laughed and let go of her hand before placing it on his son's head and ruffling it again. "My son just told me that he invited Jayden over and was wondering if you wouldn't mind coming and hanging with us."

"I only wanted Jay…" Sam quickly covered Aaron's mouth but he could tell Mercedes caught what he was about to say. She looked over at her son who was pleading with her and then she looked at Sam as he covered Aaron's mouth and laughed.

"Well I have to go to the dance studio…"

"You dance?" Sam asked and immediately wished he didn't. The look that was on her face went from friendly to disgust within seconds. "I mean, I just never met a…"

"Dancer that looks like me, right?" she asked glaring at him. "Anyways, like I was saying, I have prior engagements so we will need to raincheck this." She looked over at Aaron and placed a warm smile on her face. "It was nice to meet you Aaron and I will see when Jay can hang with you, alright?" she smiled.

"Okay." Aaron frowned then everyone glared over at Sam as Mercedes turned to walk back to her car. Jayden looked back at them and waved before getting into the car. Sam knew he had just messed any chance he ever had on seeing her privately. "Good job, dad!"

"What?"

"She's never going to let me hang with Jayden now." Aaron frowned and grabbed his bag.

"Trust me, she will. Don't worry about that." Sam said as he watched Mercedes drive off.
