After weeks of complaining of a toothache, Mercedes finally suggested that Sam pay her father a visit at his dentist's office. It took Mr. Jones assistant only a few minutes to find the reason for Sam's toothache, a cavity on his back molar that would need to be filled. Sam was terrified at the thought of Mr. Jones anywhere near his mouth but knew that his toothache would only continue to worsen unless he had this filling taken care of. He scheduled the appointment for a week later and returned to the waiting area where Mercedes was waiting for him.
A week later he walked into the dentist's office hand in hand with Mercedes, stopping briefly to wipe his sweaty palm on his jeans before taking her hand again. 'You okay baby?' Mercedes asked looking into his eyes with concern. He looked terrified and had paled significantly since entering the office. ' Are we sure this is a good idea Cedes? I mean he is your father, and what if he found out that I deflowered his daughter and takes it out on my mouth' Sam responded back rambling nervously. Mercedes eyes widened before she rolled her eyes at her silly boyfriend, " Babe, shhh keep it down we ARE in his office, it will be okay, I promise" she said patting his back reassuringly while they waited.
'Sam Evans?' called the dental hygienist when it was Sam's turn to see the dentist. Sam got up nervously and made his way to what he knew would be his doom. Mercedes stood with him, squeezing his hand and kissing his cheek before whispering in his ear, Good luck baby, I love you." Sam calmed slightly at these words, whispering back, " I love you too" before following the hygienist to the back where Mr. Jones was waiting for him.
'Sam, how is it going" said Mr. Jones patting Sam on the back with a little more force than necessary. " Um.. I .. I'm okay Mr. Jones" Sam stumbled as he sat into the dentist chair. "Are you nervous boy?" said Mr. Jones said grinning widely and him with his perfectly white teeth. "Because you should be" he continued raising his eyebrows at Sam. Sam instantly paled and gave Mr. Jones a look of horror. Mr. Jones started to laugh hysterically, " You. Should. Have. Seen. Your. Face" he said in between laughs. "I'm kidding Sam, this is pretty routine, you will be out of here in no time" he said patting his back before lowering his chair to begin the procedure later.
About an hour later, Sam made his way to the waiting area where Mercedes was anxiously awaiting his return. He made his way to her smiling and pulled her into a hug. "How was it", she said taking his face in her hands to examine it for any visible injuries. She didn't put it past her father to frighten Sam with his dental tools though she didn't want to scare Sam any more then he was already. " It was okay, I can't feel my lips" he said grinning an even more lopsided grin as usual. Mercedes laughed hysterically at Sam as his numbed lips affected his speech causing him to slur his words together and have a lisp. " I'd say that's your best impression yet baby, let me guess Donald Duck?" Sam chucked to himself before pouting his numbed lips at Mercedes. Still having a hold of his head, Mercedes pulled Sam's pouted lips towards her and gave him a gentle kiss on his lip. A tingle went through Sam's lips despite them still being fairly numb. He grinned at her saying, " and just like that the feeling is back, your lips are magic babe"
" You know," Sam started again, "Mr. Jones told me to lay of the sweets but you know how much I love my chocolate. " Mercedes chuckled saying, " And you know how I love my white chocolate "She grinned at him widely before taking his hand and beginning to walk towards the exit.
