Final Tour Date!

Hallelujah. This was the most amazing, interesting, and down right grueling thing I’ve ever done in my life but I am so proud that I pushed myself to do it and made it until the end. 

Sam... Thank you for pushing me and holding me accountable.

[yourlovejones]

Ugh!

[yourlovejones]

the-big-papa‌:

Okay.

If I start to feel any worse, I promise, I’ll tell you.

[yourlovejones]

Ugh!

[yourlovejones]

the-big-papa‌:

Okay. Would you like for us to call someone, who could make a quick visit and check things out?

No, that’s not necessary. I just need to make sure I’m staying hydrated and actually resting when we’re in between shows. I’ll be fine. Just overworked. 

[yourlovejones]

Ugh!

[yourlovejones]

the-big-papa‌:

You’re just gonna pull through it?

I have to. I have to finish this tour off strong.

[yourlovejones]

Ugh!

[yourlovejones]

the-big-papa‌:

Sick how?

Just tired and feeling a bit sick to my stomach. 

[yourlovejones]

Ugh!

So glad this tour is almost over. The stress of it is finally catching up to me. Making me sick. 

[yourlovejones]

Thank you!

[yourlovejones]

the-big-papa‌:

Great! I am happy.

I should be thanking you.

Thanking me? For what?

It’s Our Anniversary

INVOLVED: Mercedes Evans and Samuel Evans TIME FRAME: Thursday, April 30, 2020 LOCATION: Nashville, TN SUMMARY: For the couples 5 year anniversary, they celebrate.

Mercedes hummed softly as she walked through the penthouse suite, holding a bottle of champagne in her hands, with two glasses filled with the bubbly liquid, a strawberry floating atop both of the glasses. Licking her painted lips, she said in a sing-song voice, “sammy…” sweetly.

Samuel laid against the bed on his side of the suite, he had a pillowed balled up under his head. He was resting on top of his folded arms, above the pillow, and he had his eyes closed. He hadn’t had a real fix in a day or so and it was starting to affect him a bit. Exhaling slowly, he came to the conclusion that he needed to order him a couple bottles and have them sent up. It was his wedding anniversary after all, he could do that with no actual shame. Hearing Mercedes he shifted against the bed gently and he turned his head looking towards the door as he rolled his eyes open.

Mercedes entered the bedroom slowly, sporting the black lace-sheer lingerie set that clung to her like a glove and left absolutely nothing to the imagination. As she entered the room, she smiled softly at her husband on the bed. No matter how much he scared her half to death, she still loved him with all her heart and it was their anniversary. They had to celebrate somehow. Luckily for them, the way the dates panned out, they had a few days of relaxation and time to take a breather and today was their last day before their show tomorrow night. Walking over to the bed, she sat the bottle down on the nightstand before she offered him a glass, her lips pulled into a smirk as she took a sip from her own.

Samuel shifted, pulling himself upright on the bed and he looked at his wife taking her in fully with a smile on his face. She was gorgeous standing there in the light of the sun. “Thanks,” he said as he accepted the glass; he took a sip and said, “I was just about to order something... a little stronger,” jokingly as he took another sip. “This works,” he breathed as he looked up into her eyes.

Mercedes’ face lit up a bit from the way he gazed upon her before a small frown pulled at her lips at his words. Thank God, she had beat him to it. There was no telling what he might have ordered had he gotten around to it. She chuckled softly before she took another sip from her glass as she climbed into the bed with him.

Samuel watched her movie into the bed with him and he said “I am watching rush hour” gently as he took another sip. Samuel rubbed his forehead lightly, he didn’t read his wife well during their down time. She was off sometimes in regards to him and he hadn’t figured that out now and she didn’t speak on it like she promised she would in the future. “Wanna watch?”

Looking at her husband, Mercedes arched an eyebrow as he explained what he was doing and asked if she wanted to join. Here she was in a g-string and a see-through bra and he wanted to finish watching a movie. She didn’t even know what to say back to him. Sitting her glass down, she nodded idly at him as she shifted onto her knees and placed her hands on his hips, gripping into the waistband of his bottoms as she licked her lips.

Samuel smiled at her nodding his head, it was a free day for them and there were no kids in sight. So they could do whatever they please however they please with no stain. Watching a movie in bed with his wife was such a luxury he had taken for granted before they started working as hard as they were right now. However as she grabbed the waistband of his pants he looked at her.

Looking into his eyes, Mercedes slowly but surely began tugging his bottoms down until she was leaned back, pulling them off of his feet. She tossed them to the side before she slid her hand up his leg slowly, her fingers teasing at his inner thigh. “Or… we could do something else,” she said to him softly, her hand moving into the hole in his boxers to gently stroke his dick.

Samuel watched his wife rid him of his bottoms and his brow rose at the comment she made towards him. “Are you sure?” he asked her slightly, no it was no shock if she was, she was his wife. But then again any other time he had to initiate it currently.

Mercedes nodded her head at her husband as she pulled him out of his boxers. She wrapped her hand around his girth, stroking him slowly as she gazed into his eyes. “Of course I’m sure,” she finally said, verbally responding to him before she leaned down, back arching, as she took him into her mouth slowly, her lips wrapping around the head of his dick. Closing her eyes, she swirled her tongue around and around, lapping at the head before she sunk her mouth down his length, her tongue still swirling around his girth.

Samuel watched as she pulled his dick out and he rested back against his elbows gently. She said she was sure and he nodded his head slowly at her as she took him in and he bit his lip. She began to suck his dick and he closed his eyes at the feel, he’d never turn down some head for sure.

Mercedes moaned softly, trying to remember the last time she had actually sucked his dick. She couldn’t remember and it was such a shame because it was one of her favorite things to do. She took him all the way to the back of her throat, moaning once more as she did before she pulled back and sucked at the head again, her hands wrapping around him once more, twisting and stroking up and down as her head bobbed, slurping around him.

Samuel licked his lips slowly and he took a long sip from the glass drinking the champagne down fully, emptying the glass before he sat it aside. She began to bob her head and he moved his hands to her full head of hair groaning softly. “That feels good,” he said before he rested all the way back against the bed on his back.

Groaning a bit at Samuel’s hand on the back of her head and his words, Mercedes took him deep into her mouth once more, her tongue sweeping back and forth against his balls as she did. She vibrated the back of her throat expertly before she pulled back. She took a breath before she sunk her mouth back down against him, slurping and sucking at him. Her full lips wrapped tightly around his dick as she bobbed her head.

Samuel got comfortable on the bed and placed his other hand on her head to as he began to fuck her mouth a bit. It was instinctive to do and it felt good every time he slid in and out the back of her hot throat. “Fuck” he whispered softly to her as he flexed his abs a bit.

Mercedes felt Samuel as he began fucking her mouth and she groaned out, keeping her lips wrapped tightly around his thick dick. “Mmm,” she moaned out around him. Removing her hands from him, she let his entire length reach the back of her throat.

Samuel licked his lips again as he looked down at the sight of her finally opening his eyes to her. He bit his lip hard as he continued to push in and out of her throat, and he stopped his motions a bit and pushed some hair out of her face.

Mercedes stayed just like that for Samuel until he stopped and pushed her hair back, lifting her eyes to him, she smirked around his girth before she slurped once more. Her tongue began swirling around his girth again, laving around him easily as she sucked up and down. “Mmm,” she moaned softly, looking into his eyes.

Samuel shifted his hips a bit before he closed his eyes resting back against the bed again, the sight of her in all of her glory was going to cause him to burst. “Fuck” he breathed again his hands still gripping on to her head of hair a bit.

Feeling Samuel grip her hair and watching his head fall back, Mercedes moaned once more. Pulling back she said, “I want to taste you,” before she sunk her mouth back down against him. She slopped a little, taking him to the back of her throat and vibrating it once more as she moved a hand to his balls, using her nails to tease him gently.

Samuel groaned lightly and sat her words he hissed a bit looking back down at her from his position lifting his head off the bed. “Stroke it bae” he told her softly as he pushed himself back down her throat.

Mercedes heard his words but she also felt him forcing himself deeper into the back of her throat and she smirked around him. Pulling back, a bit, she wrapped her hand around him, squeezing very gently, as she moved her hands up and down his length to the rhythm of her mouth moving up and down. Sucking on the head of his dick, she used her hands, twisting sliding up and down his length easily.

“Fuck, like that” Samuel said as he stopped his hips and allowed her to do exactly what he had asked her to do. He licked his lips again and he grunted softly as he came into her mouth instantly and without resisting it.

Mercedes sucked the head of his dick, her nails working easily as he came in her mouth and she swallowed his seed down hungrily before she sunk her mouth back down his length with a small smirk. “Mmm,” she moaned.

Samuel abs flexed as he shot his large load into her warm mouth and when she sucked back down against his dick he opened his eyes and looked down at her again. “Mm” he said in a soft hum and he grabbed the bottle of champagne and drank down from the bottle.

Mercedes slurped and lapped at him before she slowly pulled back, licking her lips as she gazed at him. Gently, she took the bottle from his hands and tilted her head back, pouring some into her mouth, a bit rolling down her chin and neck, trailing down to her breasts. She swallowed and smirked, handing the bottle back to him.

Samuel watched Mercedes as she cleaned his dick up and he leaned on his one elbow, licking his lips as she grabbed the bottle and drank some down. She handed it back and he drank from it again before he shifted and pulled her close, kissing her lips hungrily as he sat the bottle aside. He pulled back and asked her “how many rounds do you think you’ll last?” questionably as he pulled her up, both his hands smacking her round ass and her grabbing her by it.

Mercedes moaned out as Samuel pulled her close and she kissed him back hungrily, sucking on his lips a bit. As he pulled back, asking his question, she smirked. “Until you’re ready to stop,” she licked her lips as he grabbed her ass. “Put me to sleep baby,” she told him huskily.

Samuel growled softly at her words and he shifted getting up and spinning her around before he pushed her back against the bed gently. He moved to climb on top of her “you look so good in this” he told her, pulling the fabric down under her breast, his dick hard as a rock once more. “Fuck” he said as he simply slid her panties to the side and slid into her depths, pushing his dick completely into her. He gripped the fabric clinging to her top half and he stroked her deeply, pushing in and out of her at a moderate pace.

“Mmm,” Mercedes groaned out as Samuel grabbed her and laid her back. She gazed up at him, her eyes fluttering as he tugged her bra cups down. Licking her lips, she watched him closely and as he pulled her panties to the side and slid into her, she moaned loudly, her hands holding his back and shoulders. “Oh fuck,” she hissed out softly, her head rolling back against the mattress as he stroked her deeply.

Samuel continued to grip her top in his hand and he stroked her long and hard, watching the bounce of her breast as he did. Fuck, she looked amazing laying there beneath him. He rolled his hips in and out of her pulling his bottom lip into his mouth.

Growling softly, Mercedes slid her hand down his back to his ass, gripping him there through his boxers. “Baby,” she groaned out as her other hand held the back of his neck. “Fuck,” she whispered, her hips thrusting against his in rhythm.

Samuel groaned softly as Mercedes held him but his cotton covered ass, pushing him into her further and he watched her as she tugged him down to her a little. “Fuck you feel amazing” he told her gently as he closed his eyes picking up his pace a bit.

Mercedes' eyes closed and she let out a breath as Samuel stroked her deeper, “shit,” she whimpered softly as she gripped him. She moved her hand from the back of his neck, to his ass, both of her hands gripping him there now as she said, “deeper,” with a moan.

Samuel grunted softly her words causing his eyes to roll shut up as he pushed deeper and harder into her heat. “Fuck” he said to her softly as he moved to work the top off of her body, he pushed the frabric up and over her head of hair pushing it aside. Reluctantly he moved to rid her of her panties as well tossing them halfway around the room and he did the same to his boxer before he slid back into her, plowing her forcefully.

“Fuck baby,” Mercedes whimpered as he stroked her deeper like she begged and as he moved to tug her bra off, she lifted her arms for him, her hands immediately going back to his ass once the deed was done. She gripped him there, gasping softly until he pulled out of her and tugged her thong off. She watched him, her fingers moving to stroke her pussy until he returned to her. “Uh!” she moaned a she began fucking her into the mattress. “Baby,” she cried out softly, “just like that!”

Samuel closed his eyes as he hovered over the woman, pushing her legs back with his hips as he continued to fuck her nice and hard. “Fuck” he breathed out softly as he moved one of his hands to her thick hip as he gripped her there, his other hand pressed into the bed as he held himself up. “You feel so good,” he told her, tilting his head back as he continued to thrust his hips.

Moaning out, Mercedes hooked a leg around his back as he pushed them back and she held him a bit, her nails scraping down his back. “Fuck daddy,” she moaned softly. “Don’t stop,” she whimpered as her hips pressed up, thrusting against him. “Fuck,” she moaned once more as she moved one hand from his back, to lick her fingers before she slid them down between them as she began stroking her clit. “Uh, God,” she moaned.

Samuel opened his eyes watching her and he crashed his lips against hers gently, kissing her hungrily in the moment as he continued to work her over. Samuel closed his eyes slowly as he continued his pace feeling her reach between them both to stroke her clit. He pulled his lips away from her to ask her “are you going to cum?” sweetly to her, pecking her lips a few times.

Kissing him back briefly, Mercedes let out a groan before she nodded at his words. “Mhmm,” she groaned out, her body shaking under his as the pleasure built and built inside of her. “Fuck, baby,” she cried out softly as she began cumming, her fingers steady strumming her clit as she trembled, her head rolling back and her lips parted as she panted out. “Fuuuck,” she whimpered.

“Cum for daddy baby” Samuel coached her though he was nowhere near his brink himself. He licked his lips as he continued to work her as she came beneath him pushing her to her brink by strumming her own clit roughly. Giving her three hard and deep thrusts he pulled out of her and he moved to lay down on her stomach. Samuel moved his head between her legs cleaning her up a bit as he licked up her cream swallowing it down. “Cum again” he said slapping her pussy gently as he stuck two fingers in her and his finger fucked her tight hole. Samuel leaned back up and kissed her lips again as he curled his fingers.

Mercedes panted out as she came hard, a yelp of pleasure escaping her from his hard thrusts and as he pulled out of her and moved between her legs, lapping at her, she arched her back withering. “Sam, fuck,” she growled softly, as her hands brushed through his hair, her thighs shaking beside his ears as his fingers pushed into her. “Oh,” she moaned out, hips jerking. “Baby,” she moaned against his lips as her body responded to his command and she began cumming once more, rolling from one orgasm to the next as her eyes rolled back slightly.

Samuel watched her as she cried out for him and he pulled his lips from her as she came again for him, his fingers sticking working her over before he removed them. Samuel licked them clean gently and he shifted against the bed a little pecking the side of her face. “Gonna get on top?” he asked her as he pecked the side of her neck, sucking against her skin gently as he stroked his cum covered dick gently, massaging her essence into his white skin.

Mercedes moaned out, taking a moment to catch her breath as Samuel pulled away from her slowly. She blinked hard before she looked at him, her tongue rolling over her lips as she nodded. “Of course,” she breathed as he kissed her cheek and she sat up slowly, gently pushing him back against the bed as she climbed over him. She smirked as she turned around and sunk down on his dick slowly, arching her back as she did. She looked back at him over her shoulder as she began to ride his dick, sliding up and down his length as she swirled her hips.

Samuel smirked at her response and he laid back against the bed as she straddled him in reverse and he groaned softly at the sight. He moved his hands to her large ass, cupping it, fingers dipping into the dimples of her back as he guided her up and down. “Fuck” he he said softly rolling his eyes shut at the feel before he opened them and watched the bounce of her ass and licked his lips. “Baby you are so sexy” he told her softly as his hands moved to her hips and he rocked up into her a bit matching her thrust.

Mercedes continued to look back at him as she bounced slowly, letting her hips lift and her ass drop against his pelvis. Licking her lips, she slowly dripped her head, eyes closing as she gripped her hips and began to match her thrusts. “Fuck,” she whispered as she rocked against him, slowly picking up speed as she did. “Mmm,” she moaned, rolling her hips.

As she picked up her pace a bit his head dropped back down against the bed as he released a strangled groan at the feel. “Fuck girl” Samuel told her behind closed lids and parted lips as she rode him just how he liked it. He gripped her ass once more his nails digging into her flesh as he assisted her in dropping down against his hips. e

Hearing his moan of pleasure, Mercedes turned to look back at him once more, her plump bottom lip caught between her teeth as she did. Taking him in, she groaned herself as she began to bounce a little faster. Leaning forward, she placed her hands in the mattress for leverage as she began to forcefully lift and drop her hips as she began to twerk her ass for him in the process. “Fuck, daddy,” she moaned out, closing her eyes once more as she worked. “Your dick is so good.”

As she picked up her pace once more, her drive escalating, he opened his eyes and looked at her as she leaned against the bed, a bit bouncing her ass. “Fuck” Samuel said again “I’m gonna cum baby don’t stop” he said his abs tightening as he tried to match her thrust for thrust. “Shit” he drugged out, a whimper leaving him as he exploded inside of her without a care. He came inside of her hard panting a bit as his chest rose and fell. “Don’t stop” he told her, each bounce she offered pulled more cum for him and his body shivered because of it.

Nodding at Samuel’s words, Mercedes moaned out, her hips working easily as she fucked him. “Fuck daddy, cum in your pussy,” she told him huskily before she felt his warmth filling her core, causing her to whimper as she came with him, from the feeling. “Shit,” she whispered her hands fisting the sheets as she kept at it like he asked, her ass bouncing off his pelvis with each thrust of her hips.

Samuel groaned softly as she continued and he bent his knees a bit before he dropped them as he realized what he was doing. “God girl” he said a she came and her pussy gripped him for dear life, spasming around him and he arched his back  abit as she continued to ride him like he asked and he groaned again “baby” he panted softly “fuck baby” he cried for her. A little more cum spewed from him and he gripped her trying to still her hips now and his legs shook a bit.

Mercedes gripped the sheets tight in her hands, her eyes closing tight as she slid up and down his length, rocking and rolling her hips. Her pussy clenched and spasmed around him and each thrust she offered him, caused a moan to escape her. Her hips moved easily until Samuel gripped them and she let out a whimper as she sat there in his lap as his legs shook. She swirled her hips around and around as she looked back at him slowly, licking her lips as she cried out, “daddy…”

“Fuck” Samuel breathed out once more as he looked at his wife above him and he popped her hip gently. “That pussy is so good baby,” he said, leaning up-right and wrapping his arms around her midsection gripping her tightly as he kissed up her back.

Mercedes chuckled hotly, her hips still swirling until Samuel wrapped her up. “Mmm,” she moaned from the feel of his lips down her back. “I’m still awake,” she told him gently, licking her lips.

Samuel chuckled at her words and he nodded her his at her “not for long” he told her as he pat her hip again. “Get up” he instructed her easily “and get on all fours” he commanded.

Mercedes smirked softly and she lifted off of him, moving onto her hands and knees as he asked her too. She stretched her arms out, pressing her chest into the mattress as she arched her back for him. Looking back at him, she wiggled her ass for him, twerking her hips.

Samuel watched his wife and he smacked her ass forcefully as she twerked it for him before he moved behind her. He moved his hands to her lower back pressing his hands into it and he slid back into her. He gripped her ass and pulled her back against him and he thrusted his hips into her, ramming into her from behind.

“Ugh, fuck!” Mercedes cried out as Samuel slid back into her, fucking her hard. Closing her eyes, she gripped the sheets tight in her hands as she threw it back against him. “You’re so big,” she whimpered softly, turning her head and pressing her cheek into the sheets. “Mmm,” she moaned.

Samuel continued to hold her in this position driving his dick in and out of her as she cried out below him. He smacked her ass again watching it ripple and he pulled his bottom lip into his mouth. Hips working in overdrive he slammed into her repeatedly as she arched her back a little more for him, angling down as he hit her spot purposefully.

“Shit,” Mercedes whimpered out, her hips rolling back against Samuel. As he smacked her ass she let out a yelp of pleasure until he began driving his dick right into her spot. “S-S-Sam!” she screamed out, her body shaking as she began cumming and squirting. “Fuck!” she growled out breathlessly.

Samuel ignored her calling out his name and he continued to plow in and out of her nice hard and rough. He released his lip as she began to squirt and he smacked her ass roughly once more as he continued to pound into her no matter her pleas or cries.

Burying her face in the mattress, Mercedes bit down on the sheets as she growled out, her body shaking hard as she cried out in pleasure. Her eyes rolled back behind her closed lids and she huffed hard, releasing the sheets from her mouth as she gasped softly. “P-Please,” she moaned out as her pussy gushed for him, creaming his dick even more as she stopped squirting.

Samuel worked her over as she continued to cry about beneath him and he shook his head at her as she slammed her down against his dick. He continued to hit her spot smoothly as he closed his eyes basking in the feel of her super wet pussy right now. He licked his lips and as she cried please he smacked her ass again, pulling out of her he slipped his dick in her ass stretching her out slowly. He filled her ass up and groaned at the feel of how much tighter it was, he pumped in and out of it nice and slow, consistent and steady.

Mercedes' body trembled hard as Samuel tapped her spot over and over again and she whimpered loudly as she began cumming again, her hand slapping against the bed hard. As he slid from her, she moaned, dropping her hips a bit before he slapped her ass. As he slid into her tight virgin asshole, she gasped out. “Sam!” she squealed, her eyes opening wide now as she cried to crawl away from him as he stroked her. “FUCK!” she gasped out, her head dropping back down.

Samuel didn’t let her move, he held her firmly to him and he stroked in and out of her asshole. “Fuck” he said to himself as he pulled her back against him gently as he pushed in and out of her, nice and slow, however deep each time.

“Ugh!” Mercedes cried out as she lifted her head, looking back at her husband as she gripped the sheets hard. “S-Sam,” she moaned out as she began to feel the pleasure and she threw it back against him a few times before she dropped her head once more. “Fuck, that feels good,” she moaned.

Samuel looked at his wife as she turned to look at him and he took in her facial expression as she pleaded. He wasn’t going to stop though, he ass felt too good. He gripped her ass in his large hands and dipped in and out of her as she now cried out in pleasure. He pushed inside of her fully before he picked up his pace a bit, hips moving a little faster.

Mercedes whimpered out, rolling her ass back against him now. “Mmm,” she moaned out, grunting softly as she pushed deeper inside of her. “Damn,” she panted softly as she reached a hand between her legs and began stroking her clit as her eyes closed. “D-don’t stop,” she said breathlessly, her thighs trembling once more.

Samuel heard her tell him not to stop and he didn’t he had another nut left in him and he picked up his pace a little more, stroking her faster now. Samuel slammed into her ass as he was just moments ago as he fucked her ass hole roughly. “Fuck” he said as he bent his knee placing one foot into the mattress and he rammed into her.

Screaming out as Samuel fucked her harder and faster, slamming into her, Mercedes came again, squirting hard as her essence trickled down her thighs, wetting the bed even more. She gasped softly, her eyes fluttering behind her closed lids. She was exhausted and her body slumped a bit as he fucked her hard.

Samuel watched as Mercedes came again beneath him and continued to fuck her even as her body slumped, he was close. His brink wasn’t far and he continued to stroke her rapidly until he exploded in her ass, cumming with a loud groan before he pulled out of her slowly. He smacked her ass again and laid down beside her on the bed. “Mm” he said as she adjusted his cum coated dick between his legs and closed his eyes gently.

Mercedes groaned and moaned out as Samuel continued to fuck her ass and when he finally came, she moaned softly before her body slumped down into the bed fully as he pulled out of her. She laid there, eyes closed as she panted hard, trying to pull herself together and get her bearings but she was so tired. Letting out a deep breath, she began falling asleep just as she was.

Wow. I can not believe I’ve spent the last 5 years being your wife. We’ve known each other since we were teenagers and you’ve always held my heart in the palm of her hands. 5 years just doesn’t even feel adequate enough to explain how long we’ve truly been together. However, still, 5 years ago today we solidified our bond and our love for each other with beautiful vows and ‘I do’s’ and I wouldn’t change that for anything in the world. Our relationship has never been easy and I know our love may not make sense to the rest of the world but it doesn’t need to. We have gone through so many ups and downs publicly and privately but we still stand by each other's side stronger than ever. Each trial and tribulation has only made me realize how much I truly do love you and how I couldn’t see myself with anyone else in the world other than you. I love you even when I am mad at you. I love you even when you hurt my feelings. I love you even when I hurt your feelings. I love you day and night, to the ends of the earth and back. You, Samuel Evans, are my knight in shining armour and the greatest love of my life and I pray that we get another 45 years together. Happy Anniversary, baby. 💛

11 Years Young

INVOLVED: Sydney Evans, Mercedes Evans, Samuel, Evans, Stacey Evans, Sebastian Evans, and Sanaa Evans. TIME FRAME: Wednesday, March 25, 2020 LOCATION: Adelaide, Australia SUMMARY: In between shows, the family stops and takes a moment to celebrate Sydney’s birthday.

Right after they closed the show in Melbourne, they had all packed up and hopped on a short one-hour flight to Adelaide to prepare for the next show on the 26th. However, despite all of the traveling and the stress and the joys of the tour they had to stop to take the opportunity to celebrate a birthday. So here they all were, gathered in the master suite for Sydney with balloons and decorations and food and cake. Mercedes had mapped it all out. Smiling brightly, Mercedes came out of the large kitchen, holding the two-tier cake as she began to sing, gathering everyone’s attention. “Happy birthday to you…”

Samuel held Sanaa up in his arms, pecking her cheek as he waited for his wife to surface. Today his oldest was turning another year older and it was something worth celebrating, especially for two people who had to celebrate their children on a constant basis due to the loss of others. He smirked as he began to sing along. “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Sydney,” he said as he held Sanaa’s back with his hand.

Sebastian stood near Stacey, tucked beside her leg as he began to sing along as well idly, his eyes glowing as he looked at the fire on top of the candles. “Happy birthday to you,” he said excitedly, his small hand gripping Stacey’s leg.

Sydney sat at the end of the long table, smiling widely from all of her gifts and the love that she was receiving. She honestly hadn’t thought they were going to do anything for her birthday because of the tour, but she was clearly mistaken. She clapped her hand excitedly as they sang to her.

Stacey looked down at Sebastian, roughing up his curls a bit as they sang happy birthday to her oldest niece. Being on tour with them happened to be an extremely fun experience so far. So many beautiful sites, some many fans, and tons of celebrities as well. Throwing an actual party here and there was just the icing on a cake, literally.

Mercedes beamed as she stepped closer and closer to Sydney. As they ended the song, she sat the cake before Sydney, the two one’s making an 11 on top of the cake. “Make a wish sweetheart,” she said sweetly before she leaned in pressing a kiss to Sydney’s forehead.

Samuel looked to Mercedes as she sat the cake down and he bounced Sanaa a little in his arms as he looked to Sydney. At Mercedes' words he smiled at Syd, wondering what she could honestly wish for.

Sebastian looked up at Stacey as she ruffled his hair and he lifted his arms to her. “Up?” he asked with a bright snaggle-toothed smile before he turned his head to his older sister.

Sydney smiled as Mercedes sat the cake before her and told her to make a wish. She closed her eyes, basking in the kiss on her forehead as she wished to herself, hoping that the tour finished smoothly and that her parents found true happiness again. Opening her eyes, she leaned in, blowing out her candles in one puff.

Stacey looked at Sebastian with a knowing smirk, she raised a brow at him and hoisted him up nonetheless moving him closer to the table to see the cake. As Sydney blew the candles out, she smiled at her. “May all your wishes come true kid,” she said handing her a card with a few dollars in it, what else were you supposed to give a kid like Sydney?

Mercedes watched Sydney blow out her candles and she moved around the table to her husband and youngest daughter with a smile. She placed her hand on Samuel’s shoulder and asked, “did you want to help Sydney cut the cake?” before she cooed at Sanaa over his shoulder sweetly. Looking back over to Sydney she said, “happy birthday my love…”

“Sure,” Samuel said easily to his wife and he offered Sanaa to her, he moved closer to Sydney and asked her. “Want me to help you cut?”

Sebastian smiled brightly as Stacey picked him up and he leaned into her, pressing a kiss to her cheek before his cheeks turned red. As she walked them over to his sister, he said, “Happy birthday sissy,” sweetly to her.

Sydney looked at her parents and smiled. “Thank you,” she said before she looked around at everyone else and she said, “and thank you too,” properly. Looking at Stacey she accepted the card and said, “thanks aunt Stacey.” At her father’s question she nodded as she moved to stand up a bit, getting up into the chair with her knees so that she could see better. “Please.”

Stacey shifted Sebastian, placing his back on the ground. “You are growing into a big boy,” she chuckled. “You are almost too heavy for me to carry,” she said playfully pinching his cheeks as she knelt down beside him.

Mercedes took Sanaa from Samuel easily, turning the child and holding her by her little stomach against her chest so that Sanaa could see everything. She moved to sit down at the large table with Sanaa moving to rest Sanaa on the table, her hand on Sanaa’s back as she sat there.

Sanaa rested on the table as Mercedes placed her and she leaned forward towards the cake with a giggle and wide eyes. “C-cake,” she said sweetly, one of the many words she knew.

Samuel nodded his head at Sydney and he said, “okay,” easily to her. “I have a gift for you, but it isn’t anything extravagant,” he said as he moved to grab the cake cutter. “Here,” he said. “We can cut the first piece together,” he told her.

Sebastian looked at Stacey as she placed him back down and he frowned some. “But…” he trailed off as she pinched his cheeks and he smiled once more, his little face turning red again as she knelt beside him, he leaned into her giving her a hug before he moved to his sister’s side, rising up on his tippy toes to press a kiss to her cheek sweetly.

Sydney looked around the table at everyone and she felt so filled with love. At her father’s words, she nodded with a smile. “It doesn’t matter,” she said lovingly. She was just grateful. She knew she was spoiled rotten as it was and the older she was getting the more she was realizing that all the material things didn’t really matter. Especially in their family. They had it all. So, the little things mattered the most. Looking down at her little brother, Sydney scrunched her nose and she leaned over the chair some to hug him. “I love you Bash,” she said sweetly before she looked at her father nodding.

Stacey hugged the little boy back before she moved to stand upright, sitting down at the table with everyone else.

Samuel waited for Sydney, grabbing a plate to place the first slice on. When she nodded at him, he held the knife with her, cutting a slice of cake he felt was perfect enough, well on his account. He placed that slice on the plate balancing it with the knife before he grabbed another plate.

Mercedes rubbed Sanaa’s back and leaned forward, elbows on the table as she tucked hair behind her ear and watched as Samuel and Sydney cut the cake together. She smiled softly, her heart fluttering in her chest at the sight. After they cut the first piece, Mercedes took the plate and handed it out.

Sanaa sat on the table, giggling softly as she watched her father and sister cut the cake and her big brown eyes glowed. Reaching out, she stuck her finger into the side of the cake and laughed out infectiously.

Samuel looked at Sanaa squinting his playfully. “Hey you, don’t you dare,” he teased as he placed some icing on her nose. He cut another slice, licking icing off his finger, and he moaned. “That’s good icing,” he told them with a smirk, cutting up the cake.

Sebastian hugged Sydney back lovingly before he moved around the chair and climbed into it with her. He sat up on his knees like Sydney as he watched them cut the cake with a bright smile. Sugar!

Sydney held the knife with her father, letting him guide her hands as they cut the cake together. With the first piece cut, she turned her head to him pecking him on the lips. “Love you daddy,” she said sweetly, giggling at Sanaa as she shooed her hands away.

Samuel pecked Sydney back with a chuckle. “I love you too baby,” he said easily as he walked a slice of cake towards his wife and he pecked her on the lips. “Cake?” he asked her sweetly as he grabbed another plate. “Cake, big head?” he asked his sister.

Mercedes nodded as she kissed her husband's lips back lovingly. “Yes please,” she said, taking a moment to really look into his eyes as he handed her the plate. She reached for a fork and took a small bite of the cake before she placed it before Sanaa knowingly.

Sanaa watched with a little drool dripping as they shooed her hands away and she giggled, bringing her little finger to her mouth, sucking the icing off before Samuel placed the plate before Mercedes. She cooed watching with wide eyes as Mercedes slid the plate before her and she said, “thank you,” in a slur as she dug her hands into the cake, mashing it into her mouth.

Stacey narrowed her eyes at Samuel and said, “sure,” with a chuckle before she looked at Sanaa shaking her head as she watched her eat the cake.

Samuel cut another slice and then another, sitting them on the table for anyone to try. He handed Stacey a slice and a fork before he sat down contently, he didn’t want any cake really.

Sebastian leaned in, pressing his hands into the table as he watched them cut the cake over and over again. He waited until the next slice was plated before he grabbed the plate and picked up the piece with his hands, eating it bite by bite.

Sydney cut the cake with Samuel until everyone had a slice and she sat the knife down before she picked up her own plate happily. She looked over at her brother, chuckling softly as she watched him before she picked up her fork and ate a bite of her cake with a hum. She looked around at everyone and let out a content sigh. She was happy for the first time in a really long time.

Samuel watched Sebastian and he stole a swipe of his icing sucking it from his fingers before he chuckled lightly. He looked over at his wife and his youngest with a content smirk.

Stacey smiled around her piece of cake breaking some off with her fingers and popping it into her mouth. She looked at Sydney, who seemed so happy for such a simple party.

Won’t Take You Away From Me

INVOLVED: Mercedes Evans TIME FRAME: Thursday, April 2, 2020 LOCATION: Lima; Ohio SUMMARY: In their hometown of Lima, Ohio, Mercedes performs My Mind as apart of her setlist. [Mercedes’ outfit]

Mercedes sat on the edge of the stage, the beautiful long white dress that resembled a wedding dress flowing around her as she sat in the midst of the crowd, at the end of the long walkway. Staring out at the crowd, Mercedes smiled softly. They were in Lima, in her hometown. It was surreal. She had performed in Lima before, of course, but this was different. This was a part of a world tour and her entire family was with her. She was performing with her label and it was so magical. To perform with her husband and daughter on stage, she felt so full.

The crowd was so loud and so full of life and energy as they reached out to her and she reached her hand out, touching a few hands before she let out a deep breath, the music for My Mind beginning to play. She shifted slightly; her ankles crossed as she brought the microphone to her lips as she began to sing. “I heard you come in at a quarter til three,” her tone was deep and low, much lower than she typically sang. “You close the door and lay down next to me,” she sang out, her eyes closing as her pitch rose slightly, “but then I heard you say her name in your sleep,” with each word, her pitch growing a bit higher. “Your dirty secrets too far gone to keep…”

Mercedes opened her eyes, looking out at the crowd again. This song was her solace. She gave it all up in these lyrics and she bared her soul and the crowd hung into every single word. They leaned in, eyes wide and filled with emotion as she sang out, “I, I, I… I’m ‘bout to lose my…” Leaning back some, Mercedes inhaled deeply before she sang softly, “I, I, I… I’m ‘bout to lose my… my mind, my mind, my mind, I’m ‘bout to lose my…” she rubbed her hand over her dress, gripping the sheer material bunched around her lap. Slowly but sure tears began to fill her eyes and she chuckled at herself a bit as she wiped under her eyes. The thought of her husband and Miranda would always make her emotional. “My mind, my mind, I think about you all the time…”

Lowering the microphone to her lap, Mercedes blinked slowly as she just vocalized to the music, humming and singing out beautiful melodic notes as the crowd swayed along. “You can’t even look me dead in the eyes…” she sang bitterly, her freehand using two fingers to point to her eyes as she shook her head. Looking around the arena filled with people, Mercedes nodded slowly to the music. Rather her fans truly understood or not, they seemed to empathize with her; with her still loving her husband despite the fact that he, at one point, loved another woman. “Her love is strong, she got you hypnotized, you say you love me, but I think it’s a lie, when I work so hard to keep you satisfied…” her voice was gritty as she began to belt out.

Shifting into a higher octave, Mercedes sang with her eyes closed, “I, I, I, I’m ‘bout to lose my… I, I, I, I’m ‘bout to lose my…” her voice was stronger and raspier now. “My mind, my mind, my mind, ‘bout to lose my…” She took a deep breath, her eyes still closed as she clutched the lace material at her chest while she belted. “Wooooooahhhhh…. How could ya, how could you… do this to me…”

Opening her eyes, Mercedes looked out at the crowd, watching tears roll down cheeks and she shifted slightly, uncrossing her ankles as she leaned into the crowd. “No way, no way, she can’t take you away from me,” she sang now, her voice lowering once again as she stared into the faces of her fans, her finger pointing into her chest harshly. “I ‘sholl won’t stay, but I’ll be damned if I ever leave…” she sang lowly, shaking her head before her voice rose once more, her octave switching once again, every note clean, gritty, and crisp despite. “Ooooooooooh, no way, no way, Miranda won’t take you away from me, I ‘sholl won’t stay, but I’ll be damned if I ever leave…” she said name dropping the woman without a care as she shifted from a soft bravado to a loud and visceral belt, “If I ever leave, no way, no way, she can’t take you away from me, no way, no way, I ‘sholl won’t stay, but I’ll be damned if I ever leave, oooooooooooooooh.”

Shaking out her body a little, Mercedes pushed past the tingling sensation of emotions that were filling her as she finished the song strong, her voice growing a bit softer until she faded into the end. “My mind, my mind, my mind, I think about you all the, all the time, my mind, my mind, my mind… you’ll always be mine…” She lingered on the last note a bit before she exhaled deeply and she looked out amongst the crowd before she let out a soft sigh into the microphone. “It’ll be five years in April,” she said lifting her left hand and wiggling her ring finger. “I love my husband…” she said lastly with a small smile before she stood up from the edge of the stage and she walked back down the long walkway towards center stage, prepared to perform Fake Smile.

Happy birthday to my baby girl. 11 years old, I can’t believe it. My sweet angel, you’re growing up so fast right before my very eyes.  You are a princess in my heart and I care for you so much. I love the fondness in you eyes and your tender little touch. I looked at you when you were born and knew then straight away that I would be forever here to watch you grow and play. You bring to me a heart of joy and memories so great and a powerful sense of motherhood that no one can debate. I watch you sleep and dream of things that I can only wonder. That innocent look upon your face just makes my heart grow fonder. I see you run and jump and shout and calling out my name. No love that I have ever known could ever feel the same. No suffering or tragedy nor deeply seated pain could ever overshadow the bond that we retain.

I love you Sydney. 💛💕 Happy Birthday. #adaylate

No Sleep

INVOLVED: Mercedes Evans and Samuel Evans (briefly; Kelly Simpson and Joshua Miller) TIME FRAME: Monday, March 23, 2020 LOCATION: Music Studio; Hotel; Australia  SUMMARY: Mercedes and Samuel take time in-between shows to record a song for their upcoming joint album.

Mercedes sat in the Australian music studio bobbing her head to the beat of the music as she rolled her tongue over her lips. She was so tired. They were in between tour dates right now. They had finished a show yesterday and had another tomorrow but she was pushing through; after all it was her idea to record an album while on tour. She bounced Sanaa in her lap gently as she looked over the music sheets. “What do you think?” she asked her husband.

Samuel sat next to Mercedes licking his lips and he swayed back and forth, he was honestly pumped full, of what, he didn’t know at this point of time. Whatever his assistant could get his hands on drug wise he used because traveling limited what could and couldn’t get through the airway. Licking his lips, he sat with a cup that had a little codeine and sprite in it and he sipped it down. “I like it,” he told her easily, a drug filled Samuel was a known confrontational and focused Samuel. All he ever wanted to do was work, fuck, and keep his mind busy and this happened to help him with doing so.

Mercedes nodded slowly as she lifted her head to look at her husband. She eyed him slowly, taking in his eyes and his demeanor. She nodded a bit more before she looked down at Sanaa, her hand on the girl’s stomach, tickling her gently. “You like it mama?” she asked sweetly, chuckling as Sanaa cooed and clapped her hands. “Like, like, like,” she chanted. Mercedes smiled and picked Sanaa up, standing her up in her lap as she kissed Sanaa’s cheek. “Well let’s record it then,” she said speaking to Samuel now. Turning in the chair some, she looked back at Sydney and Sebastian as they laid asleep on the couch.

Samuel looked to their daughter, a small smirk on his lips as he gazed at her with hazy eyes. Samuel drunk down some more of the concoction before he sat it down against the soundboard. He looked to her, “okay,” he said easily to her as he moved to stand up but not before he downed the rest of the drink finishing it off before he sat the cup back down.  

Mercedes handed Sanaa over to Kelly easily. “Can you take them back to the hotel?” she asked Kelly. “We might be here for a while,” she said knowingly. Turning back to her husband, she watched him drink down the rest of whatever was in his cup and she pursed her lips. At this point, he was always high off of something. It didn’t matter what. He just needed to get his fix and truthfully, he scared her. She was afraid she was going to find him overdosed one day but trying to get him help failed every single time. Now, she didn’t know what to do anymore. She watched Kelly collect their children and leave before she looked to their one tech. “We’re ready,” she said as she moved for the booth.

Samuel looked to their kids lovingly as Kelly moved to gather them, waking them up and collecting their things. He made it his business to kiss all three of their foreheads before he turned to his wife and he followed her into the booth where he picked his headphones up and placed them over his ears.

Moving into the booth, Mercedes took a seat on the stool that was pulled up to the microphone, grabbing her set of headphones and pulling them on. She looked down at the music sheet on the stand before them and glanced over the lyrics for reassurance. She had no idea why. They had written the song themselves; she knew it by heart. “Ready?” she asked her husband as she sat up straight against the stool adjusting the microphone just a bit.

“Yeah,” Samuel said, looking at her with a pleasant smirk, he looked down at the lyrics becuse he didn’t remember a damn thing right now. But as long as he had some, he was good honestly. He looked to the man behind the glass and said, “turn me up a little,” as he adjusted the headphones. He couldn’t deny that despite killing himself, he made damn good music when he was high and out of his right mind, his last album contested that. “I see you in the morning,” he sang out, warming up a little, finding his voice, before he cleared it a bit.

Adjusting her headphones a bit more, Mercedes nodded at her husband and she looked to their tech as he turned Samuel’s headphones up some. She was quiet before she pulled her bottom lip into her mouth at Samuel’s strangled voice. He did not sound great. Licking her lips, she reached for one of the bottles of water sitting there and she opened it up, taking a quick sip to lubricate her throat some.

Samuel squinted slightly as he scratched his neck idly. “Okay,” he said to himself as he looked up. “Okay, I’m really ready,” he told them before he stuck his hands in his pockets. As the track played from the beginning Samuel waited for his time, counting in his head, “I see you in the morning,” he began to sing softly, “feel your fingers in my hair,” he read off from the paper before them. “Sometimes I still pretend you’re there,” he sang out into the microphone.

Sitting the bottle back down, Mercedes’ eyebrows furrowed a bit as she watched her husband. She said nothing, not wanting to rush him as he got himself together and as he spoke out, saying he was really ready, she sat up once more, prepared. As he sang the first few lines, much clearer and soulful this time, she smirked slightly before she leaned into the microphone a bit singing, “it hits me without warning, your reflection walking by,” softly. “But I know it's only in my mind…” She took a breath before she broke the first line of the pre-chorus “Will you show me the piece of my heart I've been missin'?”

Samuel looked at Mercedes, licking his lips gently as he watched her closely, he looked back down at the lyrics and said, “won’t you give me the part of myself that I can’t get back?” questionably. “Will you show me the piece of my heart I’ve been missing?” he sang out anticipating her voice as well as they sung this line together. He breathed in softly and continued, “cause I’d kill for you” he sang a little forcefully, there was much truth in that line. “And darling you know that,” he sang in his high falsetto.

Mercedes took a breath, leaning back some giving Samuel some room as he sang. She nodded her head along to the music and Samuel’s voice before she leaned forward, singing the lyrics in time with him, their voices meshing perfectly together. “Will you show me the piece of my heart I've been missin'?”

“So I’ll light up a cigarette” Samuel continued, “I’ll drink it down ‘til there’s nothing left,” he sang into the microphone, his hands still in his pockets. He stepped back looking down at the lyrics as he anticipated his next line while waiting for her to sing hers.

“‘Cause I sure can't get no sleep,” Mercedes sang out into the microphone, closing her eyes as she rubbed her hands up and down her thighs, “and Lord knows there's no relief.” Opening her eyes, she looked at her husband, taking in his demeanor as he stood there with his hands in his pockets.

“You held my heart in your fingertips,” Samuel sang, emphasizing ‘tips’ as he tilted his head up a bit, still reading from the paper. “So now I drown in my bitterness,” he belted “Oh, I can’t get no sleep,” he sang, closing his eyes for a moment. “And I sure won’t, find no peace,” he sang with her. “No peace,” he added at the last minute before he fell silent.

Looking him over, Mercedes’ heart broke slowly. She truly didn’t know what to do or how to help him. She clearly never did if in the end of all came to this. Sometimes she wondered if she had ruined him to the point of no return. Biting her lip, Mercedes let out a breath before she sang out with him, leaning into the microphone. “And I sure won't, I sure won't find no peace.” Closing her eyes, Mercedes allowed Samuel to sing his next line, staying quiet as the music played a bit before she sang her own. “All that I am askin' is for a little clarity,” her voice was tender and low in tone, before she grew a bit with some power, “that's all that really matters to me.”

Samuel nodded his head a bit at her as she sang, he sang out nothing that was audible out, all matching her runs and carrying the song. “In and out of focus,” he sang sweetly, “tears are in my eyes” he said looking at the paper. “We’re burning down the bridges,” he said harshly “this time,” he belted out into the mic again as his voice carried before he inhaled sharply.

Rocking from left to right on the stool, Mercedes hummed along giving the song undertones as her husband sung and she took a breath before she sang out, “Will you show me the piece of my heart I've been missin'?” her voice growing even stronger as her hands gripped the cloth of her sweatpants.

“Oh,” Samuel sang out, “won’t you give me the part of myself that I can’t get back?” he said sadly, a soft tone leaving him. “Will you show me the piece of my heart I’ve been missing,” he sang out again with her. “‘Cause I’ll kill for you,” he sang out more powerfully than the last. He breathed in after his runs and said, “and darling you know that” looking to Mercedes and then the sheet. “So, I’ll light up a cigarette, I’ll drink it down ‘til there’s nothing left,” he emphasized left with a small run.

Mercedes began to gently bounce her knee to the beat of the music and the melody of their voices as she sang out with him, “Will you show me the piece of my heart I've been missin'?” Her body moved to the music easily, rocking and knee bouncing as she listened to Samuel, looking at him as he looked at her. She licked her lips slowly, her body arching with the words as she sang them out. “'Cause I sure can't get no sleep and Lord knows there's no relief,” she let a run linger a bit on the last word before she began vocalizing for Samuel.

“No sleep,” Samuel echoed into the microphone, “you held my heart in your fingertips,” he sang out next, emphasizing tips again. “So now I drown in my bitterness,” he said, spatting the last word as his voice rang out. “Oh I can’t get no sleep,” Samuel sang softly, “and I sure won’t, I sure won’t find no” he said breathing deeply. “I used to find comfort in your arms” he carried on breathing in deeply again.

Knee bouncing a bit harder now Mercedes looked at her husband, watching him and letting his voice wash over her as he sang. She took a breath bobbing her head some as she sang out, “caught up in the wonder of your charms,” slowly raising her voice higher and higher in register.

“Oh, I’ll cry for you,” Samuel challenged, belting out into the microphone as he looked at her, watching the way her knee was bouncing. “I'd lie for you,” Samuel pressed his voice ringing out forcefully as he coolly stood with his hands still in his pockets. “But I don’t even know you anymore” his voice carried.

Eyes closed once more; Mercedes rocked her body to the gruffness in Samuel’s voice. “I'll lie for you,” she sang right after him, pushing higher and higher until she was brushing her falsetto and switching into her head voice, “so I'll light up a cigarette, I'll drink it down till there's nothin' left,” she belted out with him now, her voice strong but still soft. “'Cause I sure can't get no sleep and lord knows there's no relief.” Opening her eyes, she looked over at her husband as they sang together. “You held my heart in your fingertips so now I drown in my bitterness, oh, I can't get no sleep, and I sure won't, I sure won't find no peace.”

“So I’ll light up a cigarette” they sang out together “I’ll drink it down ‘til there’s nothing left,” they repeated in unison. “Cause I sure can’t get no sleep,” Samuel said, keeping up with her, their voices melting into one as he watched her. “And lord knows there’s no relief” he sang out after a deep breath. “You held my heart in your fingertips so now I drown in my bitterness,” he inhaled “oh, I can’t get no sleep. And I sure won’t, I sure won’t find no peace,” he sung out. He carried inaudible tunes into the microphone as the song came to its closing. “Will you give me the piece” he sang softly as he closed his eyes. “Will you give me the piece of my heart” he finished the statement. “Will you give me the piece, will you give me the piece of heart” he sang softer.

“Sure won't find no peace” Mercedes sang out finessing and hitting her vocal peak on find no peace, before she lowered her tone, meeting Samuel back down in a softer, lower key, “no, no.” As they sang together, finishing the song, Mercedes reached out, placing her hand on Samuel’s arm, “Will you give me the piece, will you give me the piece of my heart?” She took a deep breath before singing the last lines with him. “Will you give me the piece, will you give me the piece of my heart?”

Samuel looked to Mercedes and he smirked politely, patting her hand before he pulled his headphones off. “Good?” Samuel asked through glossy eyes.

Mercedes looked at Samuel as he patted her hand and she pulled it away slowly. Wow. Looking at their tech through the glass, she nodded as the man gave them a thumbs up before she took off her headphones and hung them up. Standing from the stool, she moved out of the booth and asked, “can we hear the playback?”

Samuel placed his headphone down as she spoke, he rubbed his tired eyes, how were they managing he didn’t know? They should have been in their hotel sleeping, lounging, and preparing for yet another show but here they were. He took something to wire him up for all of this and then there had to be something to bring him back down. He had a doctor giving him something to keep him energized through the day and right now he could very much use something to put his running mind to rest.

The tech nodded, taking a few seconds to pull up the playback before he adjusted the levels and allowed the music to fill the room. Mercedes sat down on the couch, listening to their voices as they had sung the song and she closed her eyes. One take. It was what they were known for. “Sounds good,” she said, licking her lips as she listened.

Samuel sat down in his previous chair looking at his empty cup before he looked at his wife nodding his head. He was starting to feel the cocktail he had made earlier. He leaned back against the chair a little bouncing in it as the song played back and he closed his tired eyes gently.

“You can stop it,” Mercedes said, she had heard enough. “Thoughts Sam?” she asked him, knowing he was pretty opinionated about the music she made and more specifically about the music he made. She sat there, watching him closely. He was so high.

At her words Samuel opened his eyes slowly and he chuckled. “You heard it for yourself,” he said with a wide grin. “I like it,” he told her honestly, low eyes moving to the other man in the room. “I think it's good how it is,” he said as his head rolled back against the seat and he bounced once more. “I would tell you if it was shit,” Samuel said, scratching his neck again.

Nodding slowly at Samuel’s words, Mercedes looked to their tech and said, “it’s all yours for editing and processing,” she hummed out as she stood up, grabbing her purse. She looked at the time and sighed out. It was late enough, they needed to get back to the hotel ASAP and get some rest. “C’mon baby,” she said nodding towards the door.

Samuel bounced, his eyes closed before she commanded him to come and he moved to his feet. Picking up his empty cup he looked to the men, slapping hands respectfully as he moved to leave with his wife.

Mercedes moved out of the studio and down the hallway towards the elevator. She was quiet as she pulled her sweater from her purse and pulled it onto her shoulders. Reaching the elevator, she hit the button, the doors opening immediately.

Samuel walked out of the door with Mercedes, following behind her. He blinked a few times before he licked his lips. As she pressed the button for the elevator, he rested against the wall, his back pressed into it and his head resting on it as well as he closed his eyes. “I’m tired,” he breathed. The only thing that was tired was his mind, his body was on go.

“Me too,” Mercedes mumbled as she stepped into the elevator. She hit the lobby button and then the close door button as she leaned against the wall of the metal box. As they traveled down, Mercedes text with their driver and Joshua, who had been waiting for them. As the door opened, Mercedes stepped off the elevator and moved through the pretty empty lobby swiftly as she pulled sunglasses from her purse. She quickly put them on before they stepped outside, despite the nighttime and she moved for their ride.

Samuel followed behind her in the elevator as it closed and they began to ride it down. He rested against the elevator; eyes closed. As they got off of it and moved through the lobby, he stepped out the door taking in the fresh air around them as he moved their car. He didn’t know how his feet were carrying him now. He was too far gone to even be capable of this kind of energy. “Joshy,'' he exclaimed happily handing the man the empty cut. “I am tired” he told the dude, speech slurring a bit. “Tired then a motherfucker,” he mumbled climbing into the car.

Mercedes slipped into the car as Joshua opened the door for them and she slid over, giving her husband room to get in as well. She sighed out tiredly, leaning against the SUV before she looked at her husband as he spoke to Joshua, handing him the empty cup. She shook her head before she looked out the window.

Joshua took the cup from Samuel, holding it idly as he clapped his freehand on Samuel’s shoulder. He helped the man into the SUV before he closed the door behind the couple. He moved to throw the cup into the trash before he hopped into the passenger seat. Immediately the driver pulled off, heading towards the hotel.

Samuel looked to Mercedes and he grabbed her hand, holding it in his as he kissed the back of it gently. He rested his head against the seat, “can you at least sleep next to me tonight?” he asked her curiously. “I don’t know why you aren’t in the first place, what have I done? I thought we were on good terms?” he asked her seriously.

Mercedes looked at her husband as he grabbed her hand and she let out a sigh as he kissed it. She scooted a little closer to him at his question and she nodded as she rested her head on his chest gently. “I will…” she whispered. At his next question, Mercedes closed her eyes inhaling a deep breath. “We are okay,” she said quietly. “You… you haven’t…” she shook her head. “Let’s talk about it later,” she said knowingly Joshua and their driver were listening.

Samuel looked to his wife and he fell silently nodding at her words, he didn’t press further. He just sat there closing his eyes again as they rode. He didn’t say anything at first, he knew that she loved to be close to their children and he didn’t mind it considering all they had lost. But he did miss his wife and he needed her every now and again too. He didn’t think he had to beg, but maybe he did, and he was okay with doing so.

Mercedes nodded slightly as Samuel fell quiet and she did too as they rode the rest of the way to the hotel. When they arrived, Mercedes sat up slowly, gathering her purse as Joshua got out the car and opened the door for them.

When they arrived, the motion of the car stopping woke Samuel out of his near comatose sleep. He sat upright and climbed out of the car behind his wife as Joshua opened the door and he moved to their large hotel, walking through the lobby, his feet dragging as he moved for an elevator.

Mercedes climbed out of the car tiredly and she yawned into her hand as she looked back at her husband waiting for him to get out too. Slowly but surely, she moved into the hotel lobby, Joshua not far behind them. She pressed the button for the elevator and stepped inside as the doors opened. She pushed the last button, taking them up to the top floor. Stepping off the elevator, she moved in the direction of their room, taking out the keycard from her purse. She swiped it quickly, entering the penthouse suite. She looked back seeing Joshua enter his own room before she closed the door behind herself and Samuel.

Samuel continued their trek to the room they were in behind her. As they finally made it to the room, he walked in and shrugged his coat off. He tossed it on the large couch before he stepped out his shoes. Samuel moved for the space he occupied away from everyone else and he licked his lips slowly as he pulled his shirt up over his head and tossed it onto the bed. Samuel ran his hands through his hair and he unzipped his pants and tugged them down his legs slowly putting them aside as well before he climbed into the bed tiredly.

Mercedes made sure to lock the door behind them, sliding the chain and setting the alarm for the room as well. She looked back, seeing Samuel as he moved for his part of the suite and she sighed, biting her lip as she reluctantly moved behind him. Entering the room, Mercedes pulled her shirt off and laid it aside before she stepped out of her shoes and sweatpants. She climbed into the bed behind her husband, sliding under the covers as she did.

Samuel stretched his long limbs and he covered himself with the covers provided by the hotel, he closed his eyes once more. Samuel wrapped his arm around her as she joined him as he asked her to. His breathing began to even out as he fell asleep once more beside her quietly.

My husband is a rockstar! 💫 Every show with you, every night with you is a new experience that I wouldn’t change for the world. Seeing you lost in the music brings me so much joy. I love you baby. Here’s to more shows. 💛
