Morning Breath

Nick slowly woke up, the morning sun filtering through the drapes. A smile spread across his face when he snuggled closer to the body next to him and thought about the night before. After dating for seven months, he and Sara Sidle had taken the biggest step in their relationship. Nick had walked her to the door as he had every other night, but last night she had asked him to stay – to spend the night with her. He didn't have to think twice before saying yes.

His thoughts were broken as the person in his arms started to move. Sara turned towards him and gave him a sleepy smile.

"Morning." She mumbled.

"Good morning Gorgeous." Nick smiled.

He leaned down to kiss her good morning when she suddenly twisted her head to the side, causing his lips to land on her cheek. Slightly puzzled, he leaned in again but yet again getting the same result this time kissing the other cheek.

"Sara, what are you doing?" Nick asked in confusion.

Bringing her hand up over her mouth, Sara blushed as she answered, "I don't want to kiss you."

Nick was both shocked and slightly offended, "Excuse me?"

"I have morning breath. I don't want to kiss you until I get a chance to brush my teeth." She explained, still covering her hand with her mouth.

Nick couldn't help but laugh. "Baby, I don't care about your morning breath. I am sure that my breath is just as bad as yours, probably worse. Does my breath bother you?"

"No." She said still not removing her hand.

"Then why do you think that yours bothers me? I don't want to have to wait for you to get up and brush your teeth every morning before you will let me kiss you because kissing you in one of my favorite things in the world."

Sara didn't know what to say. Even if she did, Nick didn't give her time to respond. Pulling her hand away from her mouth he pressed his lips to hers. Slipping his tongue past her lips he proceeded to kiss her senseless.

Sara smiled when he finally pulled away, "I guess morning breath isn't so bad after all."
