Later that day, at 5 P.M, was when the boys finally started grilling. They spent the last five hours either annoying the girls, trying to get Jenna and Sandy to laugh, act like idiots, or act like idiots in the snow. Sam would randomly come into the kitchen to scare his mom and Brenda by coming up behind them or poking them out of no where. Then he'd run back outside so they wouldn't be able to hit him with a spatula (his mom) or a rag (Brenda).
"How do you two deal with him?" Santana asked. Mary and Brenda looked at each other and said simultaneously,
"We love him."
TIME SKIP
Everyone was messing around outside after they ate, and Sam had his guitar on it's stand beside him. He and Brenda were on the trampoline, which the guys had shoveled all the snow off of earlier, jumping around together, doing flips and dancing to the music that Puck was playing. Brenda grabbed his hands as they were jumping and asked sweetly,
"Will you pleaseeeeee sing your song for me now?" He laughed and nodded, hopping off the trampoline and slipped his shoes on, then handed her her boots. She put them on and hopped off, landing next to him.
"Since Ms. Puppy Dog Eyes over here wants me to sing my song, I'm going to do that now." He said, and everyone got quiet as he grabbed his guitar. Brenda sat next to Chord and smiled at Sam. He sat down on one of the chairs and started strumming.
I can feel you coming
From a mile away
My pulse starts racing
From the words that you say
And you say so many of them
That you don't have a clue
That I'm signed, sealed, delivered
With a stamp on
(Pre hook)
You don't have to try
Too hard
You already have my heart
You don't gotta thing to prove
I'm already in to you
So...
(Hook)
Hold, hold, hold, hold me tight now
Cause I'm so good to go
Don't say, don't say goodnight
You know
You had me at hello
You had me at hello
You had me at hello
Don't say, don't say goodnight
You know
You had me at hello
Close your mouth now
Baby don't say a word
Cause you ain't saying nothing
I ain't already heard
Plus all them words get
Buried when the
Beats so loud and
The speakers blowin' up this dance song
You don't have to try
Too hard
You already stole my heart
You don't got a thing to prove
I'm already in to you
So...
Hold, hold, hold, hold me tight now
Cause I'm so, so good to go
Don't say, don't say goodnight
You know
You had me at hello
You had me at hello
You had me at hello
Don't say, don't say goodnight
You know
You had me at hello
Oooooh Ooooh ooh ooh
Oooooh Ooooh ooh ooh
Oooooh Ooooh ooh ooh
Oooooh Ooooh ooh ooh
Oooooh Ooooh ooh ooh
So
Hold, hold, hold, hold me tight now
Cause I'm so, so good to go
Don't say don't say goodnight
You know
You had me at hello
You had me at hello
You had me at hello
Don't say, Don't say goodnight you know
You had me at hello
Everyone clapped, but started whistling when Brenda practically started making out with him in front of everyone.
"Oh, you and Chord get to sing now!" She said, pulling away abruptly. Sam laughed.
"Alright, alright. Why do you want us to sing so bad?" He asked, hooking his phone into the speakers, getting the music ready.
"I don't know. I just love hearing you sing all the time." He grinned.
"Well, pretty lady, we have the rest of our lives for that." He told her, which resulted in awe's from almost everyone, including her. He pressed play and started singing first.
[Sam:]
Oh my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine
I need your love
I need your love
God, speed your love to me
[Sam & Chord:]
Lonely rivers flow
To the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea yeah
Lonely rivers sigh
Wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home
[Sam:]
Wait for me
[Chord:]
Wait for me
[Chord:]
Oh my love, my darling
I've hungered, hungered for your touch
A long,lonely time
[Sam:]
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
[Chord & Sam:]
I need your love
I I need your love
God speed your love
God speed your love
to me
[Chord:]
Yeah
[Sam:]
Ohh
Uhh
"That was beautiful, boys."Donna said. The two grinned at her.
"Sing again Sammy!" Sandy said cheerfully. He laughed.
"I don't know, San San. Other people might want to sing too-"
"Don't worry about it dude, I have the perfect song." Puck said, grinning. As soon as Sam heard the music, he chuckled, but sang nonetheless.
Put on my blue suede shoes and I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the delta blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy, won't you look down over me?
'Cause I got a first class ticket and I'm as blue as a boy can be
I'm walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Saw the ghost of Elvis down on Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered 'round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing waiting for the king
Down in the jungle room
Sam winked at Brenda when he sang that part, making her giggle.
Walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?
They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And reverend green, be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
Matthew was shocked when he sang that note.
You've got a prayer in Memphis
Now Muriel plays piano every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her and they asked me if I would
Do a little number and I sang with all my might
She said, "Tell me are you a Christian?"
And I said, "Ma'am I am tonight"
Walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
Do I really feel the way I feel?
Walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
Do I really feel the way I feel?
Oh, walking in Memphis
The whole time, Sam was dancing with Brenda, twirling her around while she laughed at the faces he made. At the end of it, Sam gave her a huge hug, for no reason.
"Now that, is love." Matthew said, but the two didn't hear him, since they were to far away.
"I have a question?" Puck said. Everyone looked at him.
"What?"Sam asked, sitting on the right side of Chord, Brenda on the other side of him.
"What the hell is a beale?" Brenda and Sam looked at each other.
"I...honestly don't know."Sam said, which resulted in Brenda laughing, and he cracked a smile.
"Do you mind if we talk about business?" Matthew asked Brenda. She shrugged.
"I don't care."
"Great. Everyone can listen, just keep it to yourselves please." Everyone nodded."Alright, Quinn, you're going to be the photographer right?" She nodded." Good, now, Sam. You'll start recording as soon as you and Brenda record 'Don't You Wanna Stay'. How many songs do you have?" He asked him. Sam sat there with his thinking face on, then started counting on his fingers.
"There's Beautiful Soul, Trouble With Girls, Invisible, Had Me At Hello, Beautiful Girl..."He trailed off, counting the number of songs he had." I have no idea."He said bluntly."More than ten."
"That's great then!"
"Beautiful Girl is a duet with Chord, right?"Brenda asked, looking at the two, who nodded simultaneously.
"That's even better!"
"Oh my god!" Puck yelled randomly, making everyone jump.
"What? Did you finally realize you're an idiot?" Sam asked.
"No, I realized that a long time ago." Sam snorted so hard and so loud, it had to hurt.
"What then?" Quinn asked.
"I don't remember." He said. Sam picked up a football and threw it at him, hitting him in the arm.
"Stop throwing stuff at me!" He whined.
"Stop being an idiot then!" Sam retorted. That resulted in the two play wrestling for the next half hour. And of course, Sam ended up getting snow in his pants again.
"You're gonna get sick if you don't quit rolling around in the damn snow like you have been." Brenda said, once again trying to get as much snow out of his pants."This is so awkward. My freaking hand in your pants."
"Yeah, but you're not in the front, so it's not that bad." He whispered and she slapped him on the arm, then flicked him lightly on the back of the head. The two sat back down, and as everyone else was talking, Brenda was scrolling through some of her texts, from a long long time ago. She started laughing when she read one of Melody's.
"What?" Santana asked
"I'm looking through a bunch of my old texts, and Melody said 'I stepped on a corn flake, does that make me a cereal killer?' and I said 'You're a serious Blond.' and she said' Duh! That's my hair color silly!' "Everyone laughed. Sam was looking through his texts now too.
"Remember that conversation with the broken rubber, Puck?" He asked Puck snorted and nodded.
"How can I forget? That was almost as funny as the balls thing I asked you about when we first met."
"Wait what?" Brenda asked.
"Um, it's not important. Anyway, Puck said, hopefully joking, 'Hey dude, I'm going bungie jumping, want to come with me?' And I said 'Hell no! I came into this world because of broken rubber and I ain't going the same way.'" That just made Dwight and Mary glare at him while he and everyone else laughed.
"Okay, here's one of Chord and I's conversations. Chord: Listen...I have to ask you a very important and serious question. Me:Yeah? Chord: It requires a very serious answer. Me: Okay, I'm scared now. lol Chord: Here goes........Do you know the muffin man? With a winky face. Me: I can never speak to you again."
"You should have seen him, girl. He could not stop laughing after that." Mercedes said once everyone calmed down.
"Okay, this is a recent text that I got from Sam. It was when I had to go back to LA and finish my album. This has to be one of the most sweetest things ever. 'I love you so much baby.. There is no better feeling than waking up in the morning and knowing that I have the best girlfriend in the world and that you are all mine. There is nobody on this earth that makes me feel the way you do. I love you so much I just thought I'd tell you that right now.'"
"Puck, are you writing this down?" Quinn asked. He looked confused.
"Why?"
"Because you need to be like him!" She exclaimed, making everyone laugh.
"God, we have so many weird ass texts with each other." Sam said, laughing."Just imagine Chord and I's texts everyday."
"Trust me, I do wonder what you two are always talking about. Seriously, you text each other none stop! Even when you're in the same damn room!" Brenda exclaimed. The two laughed.
"If only you knew what went through are heads." Chord said. Sam got quiet, thinking. Then he groaned.
"It just realized that when Sandy is 17, I'll be 34." He said.
"How'd yo figure that out, Trouty? By adding 17 and 17 or multiply 17 by 2?" Sam glared at her.
"Shut up Satan."
