Kat: Hey Sam, I was just seeing how you were.

Sam: I'm good actually, you?

Sam: I'm glad you texted me because I wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed having lunch with you the other day.

Kat: I am okay, busy but thats normal for me I guess

Kat: I had fun too. It was nice to just hang out as friends

Sam: Same here. Ready for the carnival?

Sam: It was a nice change. We actually opened our mouths to speak.

Kat: I am, out fearless leader has basically thought of everything so it should be fun

Kat: Yes I agree.

Sam: Fearless leader?

Kat: Oh sorry, Mercedes she is over the Hospital Charity fundraisers. I don't think she left much for us to do.

Kat: I will be working the Carnival but if you wanted we could hang out there.

Sam: Ah, I should've known.

Sam: Totally! I was actually going to ask you. I bought us tickets for the night and everything.

Kat: Yeah no one is surprised at all when it comes to the hard work that she does, her mom is the same way.

Kat: Now that I can get down with, I am excited now

Sam: Blurred lines between hard work and control freak but whatever. The carnival is cool.

Sam: Good! I'll pick you up at your place.

Kat: You think she's a control freak? I never thought of her like that.

Kat: Okay can't wait.

Sam: Personal opinion, I guess. She can be pushy.

Sam: Me either.

Kat: I guess if I had her family I would be that way too.

Kat: What time are you thinking?

Sam: Family can be hard. I guess people lash out in different ways.

Sam: 5 30ish?

Kat: I guess

Kat: Perfect

Mercy: hey Sam so I think we should talk

Sam: Well if it ain't my favorite socialite...what do you wanna' talk about?

Mercy: About the rumors... stupid gossip blogs

Sam: Screw 'em. We know what's true and what's not.

Mercy: Do we though? Because I don't really know whats true when it comes to you and me

Sam: I like you. True.

Sam: You like me. Also true.

Sam: What's not to know?

Mercy: You can't like me Sam we keep having this conversation

Sam: I can't control how I feel Mercedes, no more than you can.

Sam: I want us. I want to see where this can go. Don't you want to be with someone who wants to be with you too? Someone who actually cares? Because the odds are against us with these arranged marriages.

Mercy: I can control how I feel because I have too. And so do you.

Mercy: Sam don't do that. I can not handle that right now. Not on top of everything else. We both have people who actually care. Katherine is amazing and I know if you let her, she would be great for you. And Jack, okay maybe he could be a little more forceful but I owe it to him to see if we could be happy

Sam: I don't have to do anything and neither do you so don't feed me that bull.

Sam: She's nice, but she's not you. You want me to be with her? Fine. But it won't be real because I'll be thinking of you through and through. Hoping and wishing it was really you.

Sam: Owe it to him? You don't owe "Jack" shit except maybe the truth about how you feel.

Mercy: Sam don't do this to me, please.

Mercy: I never expected to fall for you. And now I am trying to do the right thing here, I can't go against my father.

Sam: Do what? Be honest?

Sam: You telling me putting your happiness first would be going against your father?

Mercy: Jackson is who was chosen to be my husband

Sam: But he's not who YOU chose.

Mercy: I haven't chosen anyone

Sam: Really? Because your actions say something different every time we're around each other.

Sam: But go ahead and live your fake life.

Mercy: You know me so well right? Then you tell me what I want

Sam: I obviously know nothing. You don't have to worry about me bothering you anymore Miss Jones.

Mercy: Sam I just cant

Mercy: You have to understand

Sam: I understand perfectly well.

Mercy: You're mad at me now?

Sam: You don't care. Just consider your problem handled. You can go tell the blogs you're squeaky clean.

Mercy: I do care! Thats the problem!

Sam: Caring isn't usually considered a problem. But THIS problem is going away now. Bye.

Mercy: Im sorry

Sam: For what? Leading me on? Pretending to want something with me and then backing out? No biggie.

Mercy: Thats not fair. I was never pretending

Sam: Sure as hell seems like it. Maybe you're just making room for Matt? Who really knows anymore.

Mercy: Wow

Sam: My thoughts exactly

Mercy: You know what you are an ass. I am trying my best to be honest with you about my feelings because out of all the people in my life, I don't want to hurt you, I don't want to lie to you or lead you on.

Mercy: But you know what you are right, this conversation is over.

Sam: Yet that's exactly what You did. You lied to me. You lead me on and you hurt me. And for what? Temporary acceptance from daddy? After the marriage it'll be something else. Something else to make HIM happy. Something else to benefit HIM. But what do I know, right?

Sam: Cool. It was nice knowing you.

Mercy: DO NOT TALK ABOUT MY FATHER LIKE THAT!

Mercy: I never meant to lead you on and you know that, I never expected to feel for you what I do but yeah whatever.

Sam: I'M GOING TO TELL IT LIKE IT IS WHETHER YOU WANNA HEAR IT OR NOT

Sam: I didn't know that. If I knew that then we wouldn't be in this predicament.

Sam: I hope no one feels for me the way you feel for me because this feels like shit. But again, no big deal.

Mercy: I can't do this with you not anymore.

Sam: You keep saying that.

Mercy: But if you think that you are the only one who is upset you are wrong

Sam: Stop texting me.

Mercy: FINE!

Sam: Cool.

Mercy: [Text Read]

Mercedes pulled her phone out texting her driver to see where he was when Sam caught up with her. “Hmmm I dunno, is there a reason you flirted with me, acted like you actually liked me but then Ghosted me? Who knows why we doing anything.” She said bitterly as she kept walking, not giving him a second glance as she did.

“I didn’t act like anything, I do actually like you which explains the flirting. And I didn’t ghost you...well not intentionally. After the ball I was a mess and just couldn’t deal so I left to clear my head. I didn’t mean to put you on the back burner.” Sam slowed down and gently grabbed her arm, pulling Mercedes to him. “I’m sorry.”

[saam-evans]

savannahevans:

Look who decided to show his face again. Do you have ANY idea how worried Mom was? And Dad? And how worried I was??? Not even a note, Sam. Not a word. Are you freaking crazy? I get needing to clear you head but AT LEAST LEAVE A NOTE!

As for what you missed. You missed the Summer Fest that Blaine and Kurt worked hard for. You missed that at the founders Ball Mercy and Kurt were attacked - Blaine and Finn intervened though. And oh - you also missed my 25th Birthday.

I didn’t mean to make you guys worry. I guess I didn’t think it through and I promise to, at least, leave a note next time. Scouts honor.

Private:

I- I suck! I totally didn’t mean to miss out on any of that, especially your birthday. Everything was just starting to get to me so I left. I’m so sorry, Sav. I’ll make it up to you somehow and I’ll have to apologize to the guys. Did the summer fest at least go well?

heiressmercyjones:

The voice caused her to stop in her tracks. No, she did not fly to New York to end up at the Airport with the guy she left to stop thinking about. But the moment her eyes met his she knew fate was cruel. Sam stood there with a smile in his eyes, holding her in his arms and all she wanted to do was slap that look off his face. She stood up shifting her purse in her arms. “Samuel.” she said moving away from him. “Like I said excuse me.” She lifted the handle of her suitcase, putting it back on the floor and turned to walk away from him. There was no way she was going to let him see how him ignoring her affected her. 

Sam smiled and shook his head as she walked off. Mercedes knew fully well that it wasn’t going to be that easy to get away from him, but he didn’t mind the chase. In fact, he loved it. Sam sprinted to catch up to the short woman, his pace matching hers.  “Is there a reason why I’m getting the cold shoulder?”

[saam-evans]

matthewxdavidson:

Sure did. Bri is a cool chick as far as I can tell. But not sure if we’re soul mates or whatever type of bullshit they try to force feed us about the whole process.

Private: Heard you pulled a disappearing act not too long ago. Guess we’re a couple of Houdini’s. hahaha Did your time away help?

I don’t think anyone actually knows in the beginning if they’ve met their soulmate or not, but I guess you’ll find out at some point.

Private: I guess so! It was good, then it was bad. Mercedes, Kat and Sav kind of got mad at me for just leaving. Savannah I understand, but not so much Mercedes and Kat.

[saam-evans]

fiercelyfranny:

I’m not aware of much happening as of late, although I have been busy. How are you, Sam?

Pretty good, actually! Mrs. Jones came to me about building a new community center so I’ve been focused on that.

Mercedes was really glad to be back from her trip to New York, she had such a great time with Kurt. They laughed, partied and saw a show. She even had time to get her hair done. By the time their flight landed back in Ohio, she was ready to go home and get some rest. Though she put on a brave face, a part of her was still unsure of what to feel. She had to deal with Jackson and her getting married and while she thought she might had some feelings for Sam, she hadn’t heard from him since the ball, and even when she sent him a text he didn’t reply. So instead of saying anything she just chalked it up to her just reading way too much into things. 

She knew Kurt had to leave quickly so when he found his bag she told him not to wait for her, that her ride would be there soon, he wasn’t happy but she swore she would be fine. Shooting off a text to her parents and Jackson letting them know she was back, she watched as her Purple suitcase went by and tried to grab it off the belt she yanked it bumping into someone. “Oh I am sorry.”

[saam-evans]

A week away for a little peace and solitude seemed to be the fix to his ball induced stress. It was now a thing of the past, though he knew there was no permanent solution given the knowledge of how many balls and uppity events this place seemed to hold within a years time, for now, he was fine. Sort of. Sam now had a new set of worries to think over thanks to how he decided to up and leave without a word. Everyone else was cake, or so hoped, then there was Savannah. He sighed as he stood by baggage claim waiting for his own duffle, his hands fiddling around with the various items in his pocket when feeling someone crash into him. Sam’s hands made quick work of catching the other before she could trip over him. Blue eyes immediately glinted with excitement when facing the woman. “I’m not.”

I’m sorry, my mom just…she is a sore spot for me.  And I know I have control issues, I was hurt and I guess I can see why you did what you did. Its just a lot of awkwardness around here, and so maybe if we stopped acting like Husband and Wife to be and started acting like, new friends, then things will be better for us.

Just next time you leave, I would appreciate that. 

Don’t be sorry, I get it and I’m sorry again. I would have never gone there had I known and I shouldn’t have either way.

Friends. I can do that… So, would like to go for lunch on Saturday?

[graciesaysgo]

Is anyone else craving nachos? Like, really terrible for you, cheesy, greasy nachos? I could totally go for some right now, but it’s not ‘ladylike’ — as if that was ever a thing I was going to be. Ladylike, not greasy. That too, though.

Cheesy is probably 100% A-OK right up my alley though. TBD, after I get my nachos.

[saam-evans]

Nachos are everything and anyone who thinks otherwise is invalid because there is no argument that can match its awesomeness AND I would bet money that the ones who say it ain’t ladylike are the same ones who have their favorite nacho spot on speed dial.

[mikechangjr]

Have you ever read a book entirely and felt like it was a loss of time but then the end is the best part? I’m not quite sure how to feel about this one.

[saam-evans]

No, but the narrator for the Harry Potter books pull me in every time and I always hate when the book is over… I’m guessing it’s not the same thing though.

[rollinwitari]

If inspiration strikes while and you’re in the kitchen making dinner and your chicken burns to a crisp… who will feed me?

I mean, you. Who will feed you?

[saam-evans]

Dominos. Dominos is my friend and never fails and will always feed me between the times of 10am-12am Monday-Thursday. Add an hour more for weekends. Can’t go wrong there.

Sorry about your burnt chicken though.

[upperwestsideblaine]

One of these days I’m going to have a nice corner office with a view, and a soft couch, and a door I can close so I can curl up on said couch for a twenty minute power nap at lunch.

Today is not that day though, so — coffee it is.

[saam-evans]

I could pretend to be you so that you could get away for a nap...something tells me someone would catch on pretty quick though.

I can, however, bring you coffee if you need it. 

[theawesomeanderson]

I don’t know about anyone else but trying to get back to a normal week after a happy and festive July the 4th is a mountain too hard to climb. I’m afraid I didn’t accomplish very much today, and something tells me that’s going to be the same story right up until Monday.

[saam-evans]

Totally get it. I’m so behind with work, probably wasn’t the best idea taking a sudden leave. I still don’t feel much like doing anything.

[matthewxdavidson]

Alright Lima. A couple people already know but Matt’s back. As hard as I tried (not all that hard by eh) I missed this place and couldn’t stay away long. Even when  have this marriage guillotine hanging over my neck. Sorry future ball & chain if you’re reading this. It’s not you it’s the system. I bet you’re fucking amazing.

Anyways. Catch me up. What did I miss?

[saam-evans]

Besides everyone getting arranged, engaged and married, not much. Welcome back, man. Have you met the bride to be yet?

[saam-evans]

socialite-kathummel:

PRIVATE

Wow, just adding to the list aren’t we? Anything else? Anymore insults? You want to know why i can’t wait to get away? Because I cant. Because being around you I get nervous and think I am gonna say something stupid and make a fool of myself. How am I supposed to act around a man I don’t know who I am being forced to marry? But you aren’t all handshakes and conversations when we talk either, yet instead of holding that against you I chose to give you space and let you get more comfortable with me and everything. But hey you want to sit here and act like sayin sorry I ditched you makes things all better then you are right, you are not the one for me. And that goes to show just how much you know about me, its Parent as in dad seeing how my mother has passed on. But thanks for that as well.

You’re right I don’t know you, I was told nothing about you so I didn’t know that and would have never used parent with a plural had I known. I’m sorry…  for that and for taking a jab at your personality.

Look, it’s not easy. I don’t know you and you don’t know me. Neither of us has made this easy and if we’re both giving each other space then nothing is going to change. I didn’t think to message you because I honestly didn’t think you would care. We were distant at the ball, didn’t speak and the car ride home was awkward. Maybe if we had actually attempted to get to know one another that night it would have crossed my mind.

I didn’t mean what I said I just don’t know how this marriage stuff is going to work, but I’ll try harder and I definitely won’t do something stupid like that again, I promise.

[saam-evans]

socialite-kathummel:

PRIVATE

Wow, I have asked about you, everyone has nothing but nice things to say about you. Knew they couldn’t be all right and I am glad to see that my judge of people is correct. Truth is, I just thought we had at least a basic level of respect where you would have shot me a text. Don’t sit here and act like I am about playing games, its not my style. All I wanted was to know that you and I at least had that. But good to know I was wrong. 

You apologized. Great, good for you,

Hey, I’m just going off of your vibe. It’s like whenever you’re around me you can’t wait to get away! But, you know? It doesn’t even matter. You want to come at my throat because I left, fine! But you’re not going to make me out to be some villain just because you want to hold a damn grudge. And you know, maybe if your personality was as big as your attitude we’d be more compatible. I guess we’ll never really know. Have fun telling your parents that they need to find someone else for you ‘cause I ain’t the dude.
