A few busy days had passed for Mercedes. She had been so busy, a couple of days she had to work for hours over her original time. There had been quite a few agents hurt, and the paperwork was a pain in the ass. She hated the paperwork the most, but she loved her job, so she didn't complain about all of the paperwork.
Over the time that she had worked, Clint texted her often. When she wasn't running around from being so busy, Clint would even come and visit her in her office. He had faked an injury the first one or two times, but once she saw past his fake injury, he just came to visit her without a medical reason. She actually enjoyed the company, even if she was rather tired.
When Friday had finally come, Mercedes worked her ass off to be done on time. As soon as she was off work, she practically ran home to start her dinner preperation. Moxley met her at the door with an excited wag of his tail. She pet him for a moment, before running to her bathroom to get a quick shower. After her shower, she slipped on a pair of black pants and a purple top. The top was fitted, but luckily it wasn't too tight.
Once she was dressed, Mercedes went to her kitchen and began to prepare the meal. She had decided to make one of her favorite dishes; taco stuffed shells. It was giant shells, stuffed with taco meat, shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, and salsa. She also put shredded cheese on top, since she was a big cheese lover. She made garlic bread bites to go with it, as well as a side salad.
"Mox, will you get the door?" Mercedes called, when she heard a light knock.
Moxley knew how to open doors, which had surprised Mercedes, since she hadn't taught him, he just figured it out on his own. Anyhow, he never opened the front door unless Mercedes asked him to. The only doors he opened on a daily basis was Mercedes' bedroom door, and sometimes the bathroom door if he felt like she was taking too long or he was starting to miss her while waiting outside of the door.
"Hello, Moxley. I've got you a treat." Clint said, when he seen Moxley open the door.
Clint handed Moxley a rather big dog biscuit, which the dog took graciously. Clint then walked into the apartment and closed the door behind himself. He could smell the food from the hall, and it made his stomach rumble with hunger.
"Something smells amazing." Clint commented, as he walked into the kitchen.
"Dinner's almost ready," Mercedes replied, turning to Clint,"What would you like to drink?" She asked, smiling at the man.
"I'm fine with a coffee." He replied, handing her a bouquet of lillies.
"These smell amazing," She murmured,"Good thing I already have the coffee ready. There's two tumblers next to the coffee pot; fill them up." She said, and he nodded.
Mercedes placed the flowers in a vase of water, while Clint filled the tumblers with coffee.
"What do you take in yours?" He asked, causing her to look over.
"Three scoops of sugar and some creamer," She replied,"I have a few different kinds in there, so just surprise me." She added, turning back to her oven.
While Clint fixed the coffee, Mercedes pulled the food from the oven and brought it over to the table. She laid the baking dish on the table with a large spoon, before grabbing the bowl of garlic bread bites as well. She walked over and grabbed all of her salad things as well and placed them on the table.
"I decided we could have a small salad, with taco stuffed shells and garlic bread bites." Mercedes said, and Clint smiled.
"Well, everything looks and smells amazing, so I wouldn't doubt that it tastes as amazing as it should." He replied, causing her to smile as well.
The two ate their salads first, Clint adding banana peppers and onions to his, while Mercedes only ate lettuce, carrots, and cheese. Mercedes used honey mustard for hers, whilst Clint used ranch.
"I have to say, the last time I had a salad was when I went to Olive Garden with Tasha a few weeks ago." Mercedes commented, causing Clint to chuckle.
"I've never been to Olive Garden." He said, making the girl gasp.
"Really?" She asked, causing him to nod,"Well, our next date, I will be bringing you to Olive Garden. I absolutely love their breadsticks." She stated, and he smiled.
"So, there'll be a next time?" He asked, causing the girl to nod.
"I think there'll be quite a few of those, if I'm honest." She answered, blushing slightly.
"Good," He murmured,"The next date will be my turn though, so Olive Garden will have to wait." He said, causing her to bite back a grin.
Mercedes fed Moxley a garlic bread bite, as did Clint, while the two ate their dinner. When they had finished, Clint helped Mercedes clean up and put away all of the leftovers.
"The food was amazing." Clint complimented, and Mercedes smiled.
"If you want, you can take the leftovers with you." She said, causing him to nod.
"Don't mind if I do." He replied, making her chuckle.
"Oh, I made peanut butter cookies for dessert, if you want some." She commented, opening a small container of cookies.
Clint reached in and grabbed a couple cookies, before taking a bite of one. He almost moaned at the taste, but he did give Mercedes a grin.
"These are amazing. You'll need to make them more often." He said, and she nodded.
"I make them at least once every two weeks, especially since they're Tasha's favorite. When I make them, I make Moxley some dog biscuits that taste practically the same." She replied, opening another container full of dog biscuits.
As soon as Moxley heard the container open, he was rushing over to the two. Clint and Mercedes laughed, as the dog practically begged for a biscuit. Clint grabbed one and held it out for Moxley, and Moxley was quick to take it.
"I see Moxley loves them." Clint commented, and Mercedes nodded.
"Yep, but I never doubted it," She replied,"I only make the best for my boys." She added, before turning away to put the dog biscuits back.
Clint's heart did a flip when he heard what she had said, my boys, those two words made him exceptionally happy. It meant that they were on the right track, and soon, they would be more than what they were now...
