A/N: Yeah here is my newest story, which is Part two in the He Who Hold's series. As of this second there will probably be 4 parts all together. I love Sam and Mercedes so much I want to hold on to them for a while.
This story will follow some of the Glee storyline, but you'll know when I'm continuously deviating from the RIB story. It will happen, it will happen pretty much ALWAYS.
If you didn't read He Who Hold's her Summer you probably won't need to necessarily go back, if you want to read it please do. I will put bits and pieces of Sam and Mercedes summer into this story.
I do not own Glee or most things
He Who Holds Her Heart
Chapter 1
Mercedes walked down the hallway and felt a hand slip in to hers. She went to yank her hand away when she noticed the strong familiar fingers interlinked with hers. She looked up into the most perfect pair of green eyes. She wanted to jump on him, but she was confused. "What are you doing?"
"Holding your hand!"
Damn his smirk, it talked her into everything. She turned to him and stopped facing him, but she kept holding his hand. "I can see that! I mean here at McKinley, in Lima." Mercedes breathed in hope, "Are you here for a visit?"
"I'm actually gonna stay at Finn and Kurt's for a while and finish out sr. year here!"
The air left Mercedes and she grabbed Sam holding him to her. "Oh my God, truly? Like truly truly? Oh babe, I'm so happy!" Then she hit his arm.
"Hey!"
"You could have told me! How'd this happen?"
"First off it was a surprise. SURPRISE!" Sam swung his arms out wide. "And your parents knew."
"Oh, of course they knew!"
"And didn't we just recently have a fight? And I believe you told me you didn't want to speak to me til I pulled my head out of my ass." Damn him and that Evans smirk.
"Whatever, we've talked since then and I was hormonal after booty camp and the West Side Story messy shit." Mercedes crossed her arms and pouted. "I'm glad you're back babe."
Sam leaned in and kissed her and groaned. It had been almost two weeks since he'd last seen her. Weekends in Cincinnati worked over the summer, but lately it hadn't been enough. When Finn and Rachel came to Lexington for him he jumped at the opportunity to come back. He needed to talk to Mercedes about the reasons they brought him back and he hoped it wasn't going to start a fight.
He put his arm around his girlfriend, "Can we talk at lunch?"
"It's nothing bad I hope." Sam shook his head and walked her to her next class.
After school Mercedes sat in the auditorium waiting on the other Troubletones and Shelby to file in so they could start their rehearsal for Sectionals. Mercedes turned and saw Brittany and Santana walk in arm in arm. Brittany was skipping down to Mercedes and she was pretty much dragging Santana behind her. Mercedes wanted to fuss at Santana for her constant jokes at her boyfriend's expense, but she knew Santana did it all in love.
As the girls got to Mercedes, Santana put up her hand. "No bitchin' Weezy, you know everything I say is all in love! I know you and trouty love me unconditionally." Santana batted her eyes at Mercedes.
"Bitch you are so lucky my love runs deep!" The three girls giggled and talked about their upcoming performance as Shelby came in. Mercedes had noticed that lately Shelby was losing a bit of her edge. Their upcoming mash-up was going to be amazing, but Mercedes wondered if New Directions may stop at nothing to win. Hell, Rachel actually suffered through a 4 hour car ride with Finn to go and get Sam.
This late in the game maybe all the girls could do was hope for the best and give the best performance that they possibly could. Part of me wanted to suggest that we take our practices to my house so that we didn't catch Rachel in the back watching us. I know that girl can be sneaky and she liked to do those sort of things. Strange, she seemed to have more of a drive now that she and Jesse were back together. Mercedes partially kicked herself for allowing the beast to be unleashed on McKinley yet again, but who should stand in the way of folks in love. And if Rachel felt the need to act goofy to get what she wanted in life, so be it. But as she already told the girl this was her senior year too, so yeah Mercedes could act goofy too.
After running through the Troubletone performance twice Shelby was pretty confident that we had it down. I wasn't totally confident but the other girls didn't want to stay too late at school because of other commitments. She grabbed her purse and bag pulling her phone out to check any messages. She saw a message from Sam telling her to meet him outside in the parking lot. As she was heading out to the student parking lot she got a message from Tina.
'Hey girl'
'What's up Tina?'
'I need a quick pep talk. I'm going to Mr. Chang's office and I just need a quick word from my bestie.'
Mercedes dialed Tina's number as she walked. "Alright, tell me what's up."
Mercedes rounded the side of building on the east side of the school heading towards the middle of the parking lot. She ended her conversation with Tina and saw Sam leaned up against his truck that was sitting next to her car. She hoisted the bags further up on her shoulders and she rushed to have her true reunion with boyfriend. Mercedes dropped her purse and bag and jumped into Sam's arms kissing him on every inch of his face.
She couldn't believe that they'd been together for over 6 months at this moment. She looked down into his eyes and bounced up and down in Sam's arms. She noticed that the school's peace officer was circling the parking lot so she unattached her legs from Sam's waist and got back on the ground. "Sam, no matter the reasons behind you coming back you can't imagine how overjoyed I am. And no matter what happens Thursday night I will not regret you being back for a second." Sam opened his jacked pulling her against his chest and closing the sides around her. She felt herself being rocked in Sam's arms and she could hear him humming. "Sam, I just know you are not humming Groovy Kind of love."
Sam smiled against her head. "Babe, it's our theme song. Just go with it." Mercedes laughed at him kissing his neck.
She felt her phone vibrate and sadly pulled it out to check the message. "It seems we are being summoned for dinner at my house. My parents are obviously chomping at the bit to have you back."
"What can I say? Oliver and Pamela want to adopt me! They love me Cedes, just deal with it."
Mercedes pulled out of the warmth of Sam's arms and rolled her eyes. "Yeah yeah. Let's go before they call me."
Mercedes sat at the dinner table while her father gushed over Sam. Look how Sam has grown and matured over the past couple of months. Look at his clothes and his hair, blah blah blah. She didn't even lick Sam's ass this much and she literally had licked his ass. Mercedes laughed out loud, slapping her hand to her mouth two seconds later. Six eyes bore into her before the attention was switched back to Sam once again.
Mercedes leaned her elbow on the table shaking her head as her mouth offered Sam another piece of apple pie. And of course Sam took a piece; Mercedes didn't know where in the world he put all of the food that he continuously woofed down whenever around her. She felt herself being sucked into a bit of a daydream as she watched Sam eat his pie.
He ate slowly and he savored it. He licked his lips slowly not allowing any to escape his mouth. Sam ate food or more so food he really appreciated the same way he ate her. She felt her mouth go completely dry and she rubbed her thighs together and she could feel herself getting wet. Sam looked at her and licked his fork, so slowly and then he smiled going right back into the conversation with her parents. She gripped the sides of her seat and squeezed her thighs tightly together. And then Sam did the unthinkable, he wiped his mouth with his thumb and licked the damned thing like he did her clit so many times before.
Mercedes jumped up from the table and Sam gave her an innocent look. She sucked in a breath, "May I be excused please." She waved her hand towards upstairs, "I've got some homework I've got to work on." She grabbed her plate and cup, quickly rinsing them before dropping them in the dishwasher. She jogged up the stairs and let out the breath that she had been holding for several minutes. She whipped off her shirt and was fanning herself when Sam walked in and closed the door. "Sam, you can't seem to stay out of my room. At least I'm in a cami instead of a towel or just my bra." Mercedes crossed her under her chest.
Sam picked her up throwing her on her bed and she couldn't help but squeal loudly. "Before you say anything, we are in your house." Sam crawled up on the bed in between her legs. "We can freely do as we please as long as we are in one of our houses. You remember our parents saying that, don't you?" Sam was kissing Mercedes neck making her giggle.
Mercedes rapidly kissed Sam several times before flipping him on to his back and threw a leg over him. "I don't know if they meant while they were home though." She sat up and pulled him up with her. "Come on babe, what homework do you have?" She got up and opened up her bag to pull out her homework. "Oh and I know what you were up to downstairs you sneaky bastard!"
"That's me, just one sly sneaky bastard." He patted the bed and she walked back over grabbing his book bag on her way. "By the way, you have no idea how well your concentration methods have been working for me. I've gotten some really good grades thinking about your beautiful naked body."
Mercedes sat next to him and placed her hand on top of his. "I'm glad that I can be so helpful."
Sam flipped his hand over and grasped hers in his. "And the sound of your moans gets me an A every time. If only I could have a recording of you to play at all times." Mercedes gasped and Sam laughed, "But I've got those amazing sounds cemented in memory."
Mercedes hit Sam in the head with a pillow as he pulled her back towards his chest to sit between his legs. "Alright you, it's time for homework. We can play afterward."
Over the next two days Sam barely saw Mercedes in school. It seemed that Mr. Schue or Shelby were constantly calling for more practices. Between Mr. Schue, Finn and Blaine the routine for Sectionals had been changed 3 different times. And it seemed as if Rachel was constantly on the phone with Mr. Schue about one thing or another. Hell it seemed like Rachel was trying to watch our performance via Skype at one point.
The night of Sectionals the first performance went by in a blur. If he weren't watching Mercedes shake her amazing body around the stage for the Troubletones performance that would have gone by in a blink for him too. He couldn't help but stand off to the side and watch her taking center stage as the star that she was meant to be. He had to admit he was glad that he and Mercedes had stayed in constant contact this past week. The New Directions had an amazing performance for tonight and he didn't want ND's possible win putting conflict into their relationship.
Before Sam knew it he was up on the stage with his fellow Glee members and he was shaking his stuff on the stage. Doing his body roll, he knew his woman was watching his every move. This Michael/Janet Jackson performance was the best representation of the club that had ever been put together. Everyone had a chance to sing and to shine. He hoped that this sort of performance was how the rest of the ND performances went for the rest of the year.
He stood up on the risers after the New Directions performance and the Troubletones came in second with ND winning the Sectionals performance. This was awesome, but as he looked over to his girlfriend's stunned face, this win was also a blow for her. He knew she was going to blame herself and there was nothing that he could do, at least not at the moment.
New Directions were ushered off the stage and the Troubletones seemed to be frozen in time. When the majority of the Troubletones left the stage Mercedes sat on the risers with Santana, Brittany and Sugar. Sam hadn't even bothered to change; he just stood off to the side of the stage waiting for the girls to leave so he could talk to Mercedes. As he spied the scene the girls looked so lost. Mercedes seemed to stare off into the distance stroking Sugar and Brittany's shoulders and Santana paced back and forth ranting.
Sam saw no true end to this scene so he finally walked onto the stage and it seemed as if Santana shot daggers straight out of her eyes. "What do you want big mouthed stripper? Why don't you go shake that thang off at the local stripclub and make sure your family doesn't end up poor again!"
Mercedes jumped up, "Santana stop it! How dare you. Don't you dare take this out on him! We lost, period and it's not Sam's fault."
Santana dropped her head to her chest. "Sorry Cedes and sorry Sam." She hugged her arms around herself. "I'm upset and you came out her and I needed to dump on someone. Please don't be mad at me Mercedes."
Mercedes had crossed her arms and Sam pulled her arms down as he grabbed her hand. He put a hand against Mercedes back and moved her towards Santana who smiled at Sam, mouthing sorry before hugging Mercedes. Mercedes hugged Santana back not letting go of Sam's hand the whole time.
Mercedes slouched back against Sam in his truck. They'd been sitting in front of her house for a half an hour. They would talk every now and then, but mostly they were sitting there quiet. Sam had his arms wrapped around her. Mercedes had her eyes closed just enjoying Sam stroking her arm.
A tap came on the window and she opened her eyes to see her parents standing there shivering. She gave them a weird look and Sam rolled down the window. "Don't you two want to come inside? I mean it couldn't be all that warm in there. You doing okay honey?"
Mercedes snuggled back into Sam and smiled at her parents. "Yeah, I'm okay mom. I've got a great boyfriend who refused to allow me to dump on myself."
"You guys come on inside and at least get something to eat. Sam we've still gone some pie left if you want some!" Sam might as well have tossed Mercedes out of his lap to get out of the truck and into the Jones house.
"Sorry hon." He put his hand out to her helping her get out of the truck and grabbed her bag and purse.
The following day Mercedes couldn't have been more overjoyed by the conversation that she, Brittany and Santana had with Quinn in the bathroom. After Quinn left Mercedes turned to the girls, "So what do you think?" Brittany and Santana linked their hands and shook their heads. Mercedes walked behind them pushing them forward. "Alright, let's go find Sugar and head to the auditorium."
Mr. Schue was overjoyed for Mercedes, Brittany and Santana to return to New Directions. Hell, he seemed to happily be taking in Sugar in the process. Sam sat down on the risers with Mercedes after everyone else headed off to Breadstix. "Well head on over in a few minutes Cedes."
Mercedes shrugged her shoulders. "Okay Sam, what's up?"
"You truly okay with coming back? I mean you've been really angry the month or so dealing with the goings on with Glee and such. You felt that Shelby was your saving grace, so you being back in New Directions is going to be okay for you?" Sam stroked her hand with his thumb.
"I appreciate you so much Sam, you are a great boyfriend! You're always concerned. I now know my yelling at you after I left Glee was wrong. You told me that Glee is my family and you were right. You wanted me to shine, but you didn't want me to lose that sense of who I was and who my family was. I never gonna hear the end of this, BUT you were RIGHT again!"
Sam did a slight shimmy and smiled at Mercedes and she rolled her eyes at him. "Babe, I love when you stroke my big ole ego!" He bumped his shoulder against her.
"Egh, should a big freakin fat head you've got!" She pushed him and he almost fell off the risers, thankfully they were on the bottom row. Mercedes fell back rolling on to her side in a fit of uncontrollable laughter.
Just as Sam was getting ready to pounce on Mercedes his phone rang. "Yo?" It was Finn asking where he and Mercedes were at. "We're on our way." Sam helped Mercedes up and gave her a hard slap on the ass as they left the auditorium.
Mercedes and Sam sat across from Mike and Tina just chatting away. Now that Sam was back in town the foursome were going to start their couples' nights again. Tina seemed to be trying to talk Mercedes into a co-ed slumber party but Mercedes didn't know if her parents would go for any guys sleeping over besides Sam or Kurt. Speaking of Kurt he sat next to her slipping her smiles every now and then. "What is it Kurt? You keep looking at me and I know you want to say something." She leaned up against Sam and folded her arms.
"Don't get all sassy ass on me Diva, it's nothing really. I just love seeing you and Sam together and with everyone else. You two seem exceptionally happy and secure in your relationship. You give the rest of us hope that a long distance relationship can work."
Mercedes fixed her face and smiled at Kurt. "Thanks Kurt. Granted Lexington is only four hours from Lima, but we put in a lot of miles in our cars to see each other and we committed to see each other every two weeks no matter what and it wasn't always easy. We fought a lot of those weeks." Mercedes looked back and Sam as he slipped his hand over her shoulder searching out her hand. She kissed him quickly and turned back to Kurt. "But we didn't stay angry. We also made sure we talked at least once a day. We have done a lot of Skype time also. You have no idea how happy I was the second that Sam got his own computer! But we are stronger now than if we had never spent any time apart."
"You two are so cute! Everyone else wants to call you Samcedes our new Brangelina, but I'm choosing to call you Benjelle." Kurt smiled all proud of himself.
Mercedes laughed out loud, "Awww Kurt, are you crowning us Benji and Donyelle from So You Think You Can Dance Benjelle?"
Kurt smiled even bigger. "You know me so well! And you know how I lived for Benjelle. So now, you are my new Benjelle, especially since Donyelle went off and married that rapper dude. She ruined the whole thing."
"I know, you remember how upset I was about that whole situation. She and Benji belong together and no one can convince me otherwise!"
"And THAT is why you are Benjelle. Never leave Sam for some wack ass rapper!"
Mercedes looked up at Sam who was talking to Mike and Tina again. "Never."
A/N: Okay so this wasn't going to be posted today, but I just couldn't stop typing. Unless I was looking something up. Okay, so the big nerd that I am was a GIGANTIC Benjelle fan which is why there are now going to be on and off comments about it from Kurt.
Oh and shockingly I put NO lyrics in this. Sadly it will probably be the only chapter I do that with. Hopefully I have given you all a bit of excitement for where this story is going.
When you get a chance review and thank you so much for reading.
