An on-again-off-again relationship.

"Let's go. Come on, I'll show you something." He said and grabbed my hands.

He's leading me upstairs so I excitedly asked."Are we going to the rooftop?"

"Hmmm. Yes, later. Let's go to my room first. I'll show you something. You'll be happy to see it." He happily answered.

For a moment, I can't help but gaze at him. He's so happy. He's this happy because I'll be visiting his room?

I paused for a sec, Is it okay for me to be in a guy's room? We are now friends but what if others see me coming out from his room? Would they think something happened to us?

Well, It's impossible for him to do something bad to me. I mean, he's a good and decent guy.

He opened his room and guided me inside. It is my first time in a guy's room so I can't help but feel nervous.

What if he really does something to me? What will I do? How will I react?

Have I taken a bath today? I can't help but sniff myself secretly.

Is this really it? Are we positively doing it? I think it's okay if it's him. Whatever. Come what may.

I gulped and courageously entered his room.

"I am telling you that guy won't even buy my child a doll how else financial support! " My friend Amber burst out.

Here we go again. Same anger intensity. Same old problem. My friend had a child with her Ex, I really can't say what their relationship status is. It's complicated. They separated a long time ago but they would sometimes meet up and get back together, then break up again.

All I have to do now is listen to her.

Let her vent out and later she'll laugh it out. We've been friends for years and Amber's situation with that guy, they say, is very ordinary. I can't blame them. Eight out of 10 households have the same problem.

What a pain, right? Well, I better be single than face her kind of problem. Don't get me wrong, okay? I am happy and contented. Why would I pick up a stone and use it to hit my own head?

I am not saying Amber is dumb in love, while I am the wise and smart one. I had my few relationships too. I fought with them and got hurt too, but we didn't reach the point of an on-again-off-again relationship that would last for the next 9 years!

I would rather sleep than deal with fights and heartache. When it's time to end, then end it.

Sighed. I got off from work at 8 AM and arrived home around ten. I work as a call center agent in a BPO company. I work at night and sleep during the day. So I am very sleepy.

But I am trying hard not to close my eyes because I believed that when a friend needs a shoulder to lean on, you should lend them your ears first.

So here I am, currently lying on my bed half asleep listening to Amber's rumbling while she walks back and forth. I feel dizzy just looking at her.

"Hey Glenn, are you listening? Are you sleepy now?" Amber asked.

Thank God, she asked. I better be honest, than fall asleep while she's talking. I can't afford to offend my best friend.

"Yeah. I am sorry, babe. Got two hours overtime earlier and those 2 hours took everything I have, all the callers I received were all irate customers." I replied honestly.

"I got you. Alright. I better go. I still have to fetch Daphne from school. I'll call or message you later. You go to sleep. Take some rest." Amber answered.

I thanked her for visiting and said sorry for sending her out early.

At 1:10 in the afternoon, I went back to my room.

I washed up and squirmed to bed.
