The low amber glow from your bedroom lamp catches the dark, oiled ropes of your boyfriend Malik's dreads as he folds himself onto the floor at your feet. The scent of coconut hair oil hangs in the warm air, tangled with the faint spice of his cologne.

"You're hurting my scalp… you, I'm being so deadass, please?" You smile, rolling your eyes. He shifts his shoulders, bracing for the next inevitable tug. What will you say to him?
