Aaliyah stood in the bathroom fluffing her naturally curly hair, making her Afro regain shape after her unplanned nap on the couch.when she woke up she so confused as to why one side of her head as shaded while the other wasn't, seeing as how she flattened the one side of hair to her head.

"Babe, what's taking you so long." Her boyfriend called out. She was actually at his when's he fell asleep and they were having a lazy Sunday.

"I won't be long." She called out making sure that nearly all of it was poofed before walking to the couch. She smiled at her boyfriend who was giving her a lopsided smile from the couch, his head hanging over the arm of it. She leaned down and gave him a kiss on his head before laying on top of him, snuggling into his slightly larger body.

He wrapped his arms tight around her body and shuffled a little bit so that both of them were comfortable on the not very big couch. Placing a quick kiss to her head he removed his arms from her waist and started fiddling with her hair.

"Whatcha doing there?" Aaliyah asked slightly amused at her boyfriends sudden interest in her hair. He shrugged and started playing with it, brush trough it lightly knowing there was tangles and knots.

"I don't know it's confusing me." He said eyebrows furrowed as he started bunching it up.

"How so?" She asked sitting up so now she was straddling him on the couch.

"Your hair just keeps changing." He said letting go of the bunches and poofing it back. "When I first met you, your hair was really long and straight, and sometimes it would get longer and either darker or lighter, and then there were the times where you would braid it or twist it and then you cut it and now it's grown to be like this." Aaliyah smiled at her boyfriend giving him a quick peck before explaining.

"At first, when you first met me my mom was in charge of my hair so most of it wasn't my choice." I started causing him to roll his eyes, "it was relaxed, which means chemically straightened and I have been growing it for a long time. Hen those times where it got longer was when I had a sew in, like the sewed longer hair into my own, kind of like full head extensions."

"And I braided it with extensions so that my hair would stay healthy, and it worked. But I didn't want my hair to be relaxed so I chopped it all off. So now it's my natural hair!" I finished off finally looking down at him. He had a look of confusion on his face, then one of realization, but it changed back to confusion.

"You know what babe, you can handle your hair, I'll just admire it." He said bringing me back down to lay on his chest. I giggled before speaking again,

"Don't worry you won't have to bother, I'm leaving it like this for a while."
