"Ughh" Bella cried as she stomped into my room, she threw her brush across the room and jumped on the bed next to me. I quickly caught the brush and placed it on the bed next to us before she even realised I had moved. I made myself not laugh at her, gently pulling her into a hug "what is the matter?" she wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me close "I've had enough, tomorrow I'm going to the hairdressers and cutting my hair short" she cried, pulling at the ends of her hair. I grabbed her hands and kissed them softly "why would you say that, your hair is beautiful" I stroked my fingers through her hair until I found the source of her discomfort "oh" I whispered. I moved us so she was sitting between my legs in front of me and started gently untangling the knots in her hair; I silently picked up the brush and went to work. I tried to refrain from pulling her hair and hurting her but occasionally she winced and I gently pressed my cool lips to her head.
Eventually I had untangled the knot and Bella breathed a sigh of relief, reaching behind her to make sure it was silky and knot-free. "You're not still thinking about cutting it are you? I'll do this every night if you want, if you will reconsider?" she laughed at me even though I was deadly serious "no, I think I can manage but I might take you up on that offer. Can you plait it for me? It will keep it neater while I sleep." She slipped a hairband off her wrist and placed it in my hand. I looked at her hair helplessly; did she actually expect me to know how to do this? "Bella?" "Hmmm?" "I can't plait hair" she blinked, staring at me and then burst out laughing "I'll show you" Bella promised, she took the brush off me and separated her hair into two down the middle. I watched intently as she separated the first side into three separate strands, she gently entwined the strands until she reached the bottom. I reached over to tie the bottom with a hairband.
"Ok your turn" she turned and sat sideways on my lap, so I could reach her loose hair. I copied her movements exactly trying not to make another knot in her hair that would not be helpful. I tied off the other side proudly and Bella turned to kiss my grin. "What was that for?" she grinned back at me "you just looked so proud of yourself, it was so cute" she moved her lips to trail kisses down my neck, I breathed out shakily. "Your cuter" I whispered then leaned back to look at her hairstyle "especially looking like that" Bella grabbed something from behind her and hit me with it. Pillow fight.
