I want to thank everyone for the support they give me through my stories. I love writing them and am glad you love reading them. My muse is playing with me because I am pregnant and I just can't seem to get the updates right for the open ones i have but I am not going to walk away it may just take me a little longer.
In other news I had another request to see one of my published novels as Samcedes so I might do that but for now there is a new one that is almost finished that I have been working on. Its called. A Diamond in the Rough so look for it within a day or so. Thanks again for the support and I hope you enjoy the end of Truly.
Mercedes glanced around the room. Everything was perfect. The bed was covered in roses and a table for two stood in the middle of the room. She wasn't sure what Sam was up too, when Jenna gave her the note and a room key. But she went along with it because she was curious, and Sam was super romantic when he wanted to be.
Things were different for her now than before. After Noah and Quinn's wedding, Sam decided he wanted to be closer to Mercedes so after making sure to hire the best property manager in the area, he moved his accounting firm to Ohio. Reaching out to the surrounding area, extended his firm more than he ever thought possible. And Mercedes was proud of him, proud of how he made this change for himself not just her. She made him promise it was not about them. She didn't want him to regret the move. And he didn't.
Kitty was arrested and Charged with Attempted Murder and sentenced to 10 years in Jail. Though Her sentence could be reduced with the appeal she was planning. She claimed she was suffering from temporary insanity. Mercedes was done after that not really caring what happened to her or with her trial. As for Cedes well she finished her internship and was now a Resident. While she still hadn't picked a specialty she was outshining most in Ped's General Surgery.
She and Sam had been going strong for two years. Everything she knew he could be, he was and more. She still missed her dad but everyday it hurt less and less. Having her family and Sam near her made things so much easier. From what she heard, Diane was doing fine too. She met someone new who could deal with her issues. Chad and Marcus kept in touch with her but things between her and her sons were never really the same.
She walked towards the bathroom checking out the suite when something on the balcony caught her eyes. She walked towards it and gasped as Sam came out with his guitar. He began strumming a familiar tune and Mercedes bit her lower lip as he began to sing to her.
"Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time, maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you, maybe I'm amazed at the the way you pulled me out of time and hung me on a line, maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you." He moved towards her and she stood holding her hand to her chest feeling tears hit her eyes.
"Maybe I'm a man and maybe I'm a lonely man, who's in the middle of something that he doesn't really understand. Maybe I'm a man and maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me. Baby won't you help me understand."
Mercedes stood amazed at every note he played and word he sang. She couldn't wipe the smile from her face. "Maybe I'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time, maybe I'm afraid of the way I leave you. Maybe I'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song, right me when I'm wrong. Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you. Maybe I'm a man and maybe I'm a lonely man, who's in the middle of something that he doesn't really understand. Maybe I'm a man and maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me. Baby won't you help me understand. Baby I'm amazed. Baby I'm amazed. Baby I'm amazed...by you."
Mercedes closed her eyes feeling her emotions overtake her. She loved this man so much and every day with him she found a new reason to love him. This took her to a whole new level. He never sang, though he had an amazing voice he reserved that for special occasions. She sighed as she opened her eyes staring at Sam as he was on his knees, holding a box with a three carat princess Diamond engagement ring.
"Sam?"
"Mercedes I have been in love with you, honestly since the day I met you. You are the best thing in my life and I can't imagine it without you. I lost you once and I made you a promise that I would never lose you again. I want to spend the rest of my life with you Mercedes. I love you I need you and like the song said I am just flat out amazed by you. So what do you say? Will you do me the honor of being my wife?"
Mercedes wiped her eyes. "I never thought I could be this happy, never thought it was possible. But I love you so much Sam. Of course I will be your wife."
Sam placed the ring on her finger and pulled her to him.
Mercedes sighed as she stepped out onto the balcony and smiled overlooking the beautiful soft white sand and crisp blue water of the resort. Sam walked onto the balcony of their honeymoon resort and pulled her close.
"Why Mrs. Evans I think island life agrees with you."
"It could be this beautiful honeymoon resort, or it could be married life I'm not sure yet."
Sam raised an eyebrow. "Oh you're not sure? I mean you did say I do."
"I know but I am gonna need at least 24 hours to make sure I didn't make a mistake."
Sam turned her towards him.
"Regretting me already?"
She shrugged. "Well it has been ten whole minutes since you kissed me. I think you're getting sloppy already. Pretty soon we are gonna be one of those boring married couples."
Sam pulled her up spinning her in his arms, she giggled as he dipped her bending towards her. She smiled as he placed light kisses up her neck. He pulled her back up and tilted her face towards his.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"And I know most men would say I'm a fool but I am glad we waited. Being here with you seems damn near perfect. I don't think I could be any happier than I am right now."
She bit her lip pulling away from him.
"Oh?"
She opened her robe revealing a lace red teddy.
"You sure there is nothing I can do to make it better?"
Sam's breath caught in his throat. "Woman you are gonna kill me. Again?"
She smiled shimming towards the bed.
"At least you will die happy."
Sam walked into the room and hopped on the bed.
"True."
Sam smiled as he turned her over.
"I want to make you a promise right here and right now."
"Oh another promise?"
"Yes. I promise that no matter how tough or hard things get I will always be on your side. I am yours forever Merce and I mean that. Truly."
