Tease Part 2

A/N: I really didn't want to introduce any new characters but I felt it was needed to make this progression..

Song: Boo'd Up- Ella Mai

Sam's date was tall and slender with sleek blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes. She was a Senior VP at their company and seemed very intelligent. He had decided on taking her to dinner then out for drinks after so not to put too much pressure on for a first date. They made small talk on the drive over to the restaurant and he learned she was the only female in her department, she had a small family and was from a small town like him. He liked that about her, she understood the need to have some form of simplicity in life. The more he talked to her the more he felt his self become comfortable with her.

"So, what made you ask me out?" His date, Quinn asked.

"You always seemed so kind when we would speak and you have a beautiful smile." He replied smiling.

"Thank you, you have very gorgeous green eyes. The shirt was a good choice, it makes them pop." He couldn't help but chuckle and he said a mental thank you to Mercedes. He must have been making a face because Quinn was looking at him slightly confused.

"I'm sorry, my friend actually made me change into this." He admitted. The waiter appeared and asked for their drink selections, he ordered a beer and she order red wine.

"He must be some friend.' She replied with a giggle, after the waiter left.

"Shh- sure is." Sam stopped his self from correcting her and making it awkward that a female friend helped him get dressed for his date.

"He wears some sweet cologne, that's for sure." Sam eyes widen at Quinn's statement. He immediately thought about the brief "almost" encounter with Mercedes. His eyes still on Quinn before looking down at his shirt. He had gotten so used to the sweet smell that he didn't think anything of it, let alone that Quinn had noticed it.

"Oh... I didn't even notice." He replied honestly. The waiter brought their drinks and ask if they were ready to order and for some reason Sam lied and said he needed another minute, he had looked over the menu five times and couldn't decide on anything his mind kept wondering. He took a long sip of his drink in hopes to calm his mind. No such luck. Why had he asked her on this date truly? Did he think it would make it easier to resist her? Why did he find his self only thinking about Mercedes? He had a beautiful woman sitting in front of him and his mind wandered off to another.

"How could you not? It's very invigorating, smells like lilacs and honey." She said bringing Sam out of his head.

"Umm... can you excuse me for a second?" Sam asked standing, Quinn nodded and he head towards the restroom. Once he made it he went into the nearest stall and took out his phone and saw a message waiting from Mercedes.

Don't over think it! -M

Mercy? -S

Dude! You can't be texting me in the middle of your date, super rude. -M

I-i know, just nerves I guess... -S

Please tell me you're sitting in the bathroom!-M

She knew him too well, he laughed quietly before replying.

Ummm... no... ;) -S

OMFG! Get out and go back to your date. You can do this Sammy! -M

... Mercy? -S

I'll be home editing when you get back, we can talk then. You date is waiting, now go be the little charmer I know you can be! Don't reply back! -M
