First Time for Everything (9/?): First Official Date, Sam/Mercedes
Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I have a new job so I'm still getting my schedule worked out. So as a treat, I did two chapters! Enjoy :)
Firsts Official Date
“Sam, are we there yet? Believe it or not, being blindfolded is not the most fun!”
“Just relax Mercedes, I promise it’ll be worth it.”
Sam and Mercedes had made it past their anxieties and fears and were now on their first official date. Sam knew that pretty much everyone from McKinley went to Breadstix for dates and there was no way that Sam wanted Mercedes to think that she was just anyone to him. He wanted to make sure that she knew how much she meant to him and that he was serious about them.
Mercedes was not usually the kind of girl who could be described as giddy but that was exactly what she was right now. She had never met a guy like Sam and she could barely believe that a guy like him actually wanted to go out with her. He had told her that for their date he wanted to take her somewhere special but it had to be a surprise.
“Ok we’re here!” exclaimed Sam with an excited tone in his voice. Mercedes could tell from the way the ground felt underneath her feet that they were outside somewhere, maybe in a forest or something.
Sam reached around and took the blindfold off Mercedes eyes. The sight before Mercedes’ eyes almost made her want to cry; she was standing in what she assumed was Sam’s house. There was a picnic basket before her with food already set out on top of a blanket. Nearby the blanket, were candles placed around it that lit up the room beautifully.
“Do you like it?” asked Sam softly as he turned around to stand in front of her and took her hands.
Mercedes was speechless for a moment before she could answer him.
“I can believe- I mean, no one has ever done anything like this for me before”, stammered Mercedes as tears started to form in her eyes.
“Well I figured that since this is our first date, I should make it pretty special. I really like you and I want things to work out with us. You complete me Mercedes.”
“Sam, that’s so sweet,” whispered Mercedes as a slow blush crept up her cheeks. “Wait, isn’t that from Jerry McGuire?”
“Um yeah… I watched it last night, it’s actually one of my favourite movies,” laughed Sam as he led Mercedes over to the picnic basket.
“Hey,” began Mercedes as she stopped for a second and pulled Sam back, “I really like you. I just- I don’t want you thinkin’ that you have to do fancy stuff to impress me.”
“Mercedes, I have really bad news for you; this is me being myself,” joked Sam as he gave her a shy smile.
“I know and I really like it. I just don’t want you to ever change that”
As Sam looked into Mercedes eyes, he was really glad that he hadn’t taken Puck’s advice. And he was really really glad that he had watched Jerry Maguire the night before.
