A/N: I am so sorry that it has been a few days since I've updated. This has been a difficult week, but I am back. Can't wait to watch tomorrow's Glee episode, and also Happy Birthday to Darren Criss aka Blaine Anderson. Thank you so much for the positive response to the story. This started as a simple last minute one shot and now we are at Chapter nine. This will probably be last chapter. I don't know where else to take story. Let me know: Finish or continue with story...

Disclaimer: I don't own Glee, characters or song lyrics.

**********************************

Sam and Rachel had enjoyed.their time in Tennessee with his family. They started as.friends but came home a couple. Or at least Sam hopes that is what they are. When he dropped Rachel off at her house, he was a little sad. He was going to miss falling asleep next to his.cuddle buddy.

Sam: This sucks that our vacation is over.

Rachel: Only for now Sammy, not forever.

Sam: I know but we spent so much time apart before. I am just sorry that it has taken me so long to wake my white chocolate ass up and realize that I love you.

Rachel giggled, and Sam pouted.

Rachel: Just remembering that day Finn and I showed up at the strip club and how your parents never figured it out. You were very sexy by the way.

Sam: I am glad you both saved me that day. Anyways I guess I'll head home and rest. But...see you later?

Rachel: You know where to find me.

Sam pulled Rachel tightly into his arms. He crushed their lips together.

I thou: I love you beautiful.

Rachel: I love you, White Chocolate.

Rachel gave him a final kiss, and then walked into her house. Sam smiled and then headed back to his truck and arms felt cold and empty.

Sam drove home to the apartment he shared with Blaine. He wasn't expecting to find someone waiting for him when he got home. There in the Living too area with Blaine and Kurt was Mercedes. Before he would've been happy to see her. But that was before Rachel.

Mercedes: Surprise Sam I'm back.

Sam: What are you doing here? I thought you went back to Los Angeles?

Mercedes: I came to visit, and get my man back.

Kurt:You and Cedes belong together.

Blaine: Or we could keep out of this.

Mercedes: White boy you know you want us together.

Sam: You know calling us "White boy" is kind of insulting. We have names.

Mercedes: Oh hell to the no!

Sam: Well I am glad to see you, but I don't think we can be together.

Mercedes: Why not? I thought this is what you wanted?

Sam: I had, but that was before I fell in love...with Rachel. I am in love with Rachel Berry.

Mercedes: That untalented, quitter slash hag?

Klaine: That is so wrong Sam.

Blaine: I am happy for you both. My two best friends. You two belong together.

Sam: Thanks Blaine.

Mercedes: Of you expect me to give my blessing you're mistaken.

Sam: It isn't like you have ever made an effort to ever get me back. Not even in high school. Always I did the chasing.

"Human Nature"

 [Mercedes:]
 Looking out
 Across the nighttime
 The city winks a sleepless eye
 Hear his voice
 Shake my window
 Sweet seducing sighs

[Sam:]
 Get me out
 Into the nighttime
 Four walls won't hold me tonight
 If this town
 Is just an apple
 Then let me take a bite

[Sam and Mercedes:]
 If they say,
 Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
 Why, why, ([Mercedes:] does he do me that way)
 If they say,
 Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
 Why, why does he do me that way

[Sam:]
 Reaching out
 To touch a stranger

[Sam and Mercedes:]
 Electric eyes are everywhere

[Sam:]
 See that girl
 She knows I'm watching
 She likes the way I stare

[Sam and Mercedes:]
 If they say,
 Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
 Why, oh why, does he do me that way
 If they say,
 Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
 Why, oh why, does he do me that way

[Mercedes:]
 I like livin' this way

[Sam:]
 I like lovin' this way

[Mercedes:]
 Oh why
 Oh why

[Mercedes:]
 Looking out
 Across the morning
 Where the city's heart begins to beat
 Reaching out
 I touch his shoulder

[Sam and Mercedes:]
 I'm dreaming of the street

 If they say,
 Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
 Why, why, does he do me that way
 If they say,
 Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
 Why, why does he do me that way

[Mercedes:]
 I like livin' this way

[Sam:]
 I like lovin' this way

[Mercedes:]
 Oh why
 Oh why

[Sam and Mercedes:]
 Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
 Why.

Mercedes leaned in and tried to kiss Sam, but for the first time he felt nothing when kissing Mercedes. His heart belonged to Rachel. Sam pulled away, grabbed his keys to rush back to Rachel's. Mercedes called after him, "Sam! Get back here!"

Sam: Sorry Mercedes. My heart belongs to Rachel. You may not lil it, but you will have to accept it.

Sam raced to Rachel's house. He parked and ran to the front door. As he knocked on the door, he could hear footsteps. Soon SHE answered the door.

Rachel: Sam? What are you doing here?

Sam grabbed her and kissed her with so much love and passion. He was glad that she responded back just as passionately.

Sam: I had to see you. Listen Mercedes is back and she tried to get me back and kissed me.

Rachel: Come inside, Sam.

Sam walked in, and Rachel looked at him with tears.

Sam: Why are you crying?

Rachel: Because Mercedes is back and you kissed.

Sam: I didn't feel anything because I am totally in love with YOU, Rachel.

Rachel: You think you do...

Sam: Only one way to convince you. Come with me to piano.

Rachel: *sigh* if you're breaking my heart just get it over with.

"The Day Before You" (A/N: By Rascal Flatts)

(Sam)
I had all but given up on finding
 The one that I could fall into
 On the day before you
 I was ready to settle for
 Less than love and not much more
 There was no such thing as a dream come true
 Oh, but that was all the day before you

 Now you're here and everything's changing
 Suddenly life means so much
 I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
 And find out this promise is true
 I will never have to go back to
 The day before you

(Rachel)

 In your eyes I see forever
 Makes me wish that my life never knew
 The day before you

(Sam)

 Oh, but Heaven knows those years without you
 Were shaping my heart for the that day I found you
 If you're the reason for all that I've been through
 Then I'm thankful for the day before you

(Rachel)

 Now you're here and everything's changing
 Suddenly life means so much
 I can't wait to wake up tomorrow

(Sam)
 And find out this promise is true
 I will never have to go back to
 The day before you

(Sam)

 Was the last day that I ever needed alone
 And I'm never going back
 No I'm never going back

(Sam)

 Now you're here and everything's changing
 Suddenly life means so much
 I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
 And find out this promise is true

(Rachel)
 No I'm never going back

(Sam)
 I will never have to go back to

(Both)
 The day before you

 Rachel had tears in her eyes, she kissed him hard on the lips allowing his tongue access. Rachel couldn't believe her happiness was coming true.

Sam: Do you believe me now?

Rachel: I do, but I'll need more convincing.

Sam: I'll spend eternity showing you.

Rachel: Promise?

Sam: Forever baby.

Rachel: And always. I love you.

Sam: I love you most.

Rachel and Sam followed one another to the bedroom and showed one another just how much they loved one another. Samchel forever.
