It has been 5 years since I graduated from my university. So here I am, a 28 years old architect. No husband, no boyfriend, no lover. Yes !! I am free !!!. I have money, I have a car, a beautiful house or maybe two if a small studio apartment can be considered as a house... and I love my new life.
However sometimes, i feel bored. I need something to entertain myself.
Sigh.. i take out my phone from bedstand.
"Swee baby~, help meeeee"
"Oh babe please dont use that tone each time you start our conversation". I can't help but chuckle. I know she hate it.
No she love it.
"Help me naaaaa~" I soften my voice and I can hear she sigh.
I bet on my earring she just rolls her eyes after hearing my not-so-soft voice. I just laugh and continue to tease her more.
"Come on, I know you miss my voice~", and then I hear she laughs... Very soft laugh. Do you know the one that cute girls do? Yes that one.
"I bet your earring that you smirked devilishly right now".
I laugh till my abdoment hurt and cheeks got cramp. We always use that phrase. Both of us know that i care for my earrings more than anything.
Opss no.
I love my stationary too. One could die from my glare if they drop them or if my mood turn to girly side, i will cry a river just for a broken pen. My pen.
"Oh come on baby, help me pleaseeee"
I pleade more. I know she can't do nothing but listen to my rant.
Oh ugh.. I forgot to tell you guys, Swee as in Lee Swee Yi was my roommate in university. She is half Korean - half Chinese who live in Filliphine. That was the way she introduced herself back then.
Her family is rich af . They run some company with branches all over the Asia. I don't remember what type of company though.
But she is not the typical princess kind of girl. She is humble and I knew about her family just because one day someone approached us and excitedly showing her family picture on a magazine. So I chocked her till she told me about them.
Of course, playfully. I can imagine I could die if I kill her. Her parents will send someone to assassins me. Such a typical drama.
" Mwe! MWEEEE!! Mwewieeeeeeee!!!!! "
A sudden shout stop my mind from wandering about the memory in our university.
" ah ah yeah sweetie sorry, what? "
" what are you doing? Are you listening? gosh Aryaneeeeee, I called you so many times"
" sorry I just miss you so I imagine us "
" ugh please.. As if.. " I know she annoyed and pleased at the same time. " so what with 'helping' you? What do you do this time? Kill an innocent cat? " she continues.
" yes.. No.. I killed a bulldog just now. He was drooling too much," I reply her sarcasm with another sarcasm.
That is one of the things that keep us as best-roommates-friends . Teasing with cold words that only we know how funny they are.
I can hear she laugh and " wanna me comin' help ya to bury it?"
" sure, come in seconds will you? And puh-leassseee stop your not-so-American-chick ways of talking. Doesn't suit your no-eye face " no offense, I always call her like that. Since forever I guess? And she ca..
" sure ugly vampire" yeah that's for my sicko complexion.

I am preparing some snacks when I hear the door bell ring. I leave kitchen and go to the front door.
" Hello thereeeee~ ", Sweet greets me and lean on to peck on my lips.
I chuckle, break the kiss and pull her body inside so we don't start make out session in front of the door.
She pouts but choose to follow me. I hold her hand and bring her to the dining table.
"sit here will you? I am going to finish cutting the fruits and then I will join you" I tell her and push her to sit because I know, if I don't do that, she will follows and distract me with kisses.
"ughhhh, you and your healthy fooooddd " , Swee complain while dragging the vowel.
" I know you will make me eating healthy but here, I bring the real snacks " she says while put a plastic full of junk foods.
I laugh and bring the fruits and a jug of apple juice to the family room. ( well it supposed to be family room but I don't have family here so.. What should i call it? TV room? Living room? But I have another living room for guests at the front. I don't have idea)
" come here.. The movie is starting," I choose random movie and call her.
" finding dory? What are you? Six?," Swee rolls her eyes while sitting beside me.
I explain to her that I just don't want the house to become quite and need her to focus on me.
"I got big problem here. I am bored of my life. You better do something before I kill myself"
We start to chat, share stories about our working life. Swee is a lawyer that works in non government firm. Ability to talk in multi language make her the best among the best. She live about 10 kilometers from my house and we always hang out on Friday night when we have time. Take turns on whose house to hang. And now it is my turn.
Oh, she is not my lover nor my sex friend. We just love to kiss each other and sometimes it turn to hot kisses with tongue involves. But, just kiss. No further action. Sometimes I respect our self control.
" your house got more furniture than before " Swee says as her eyes wander around my house. She get up and gesture me to follow her.
We leave the TV on and decide to take a tour of my house. I just bought this house for like.. 5 months? I guess.. Don't really remember the exact date.
She wander around while asking me questions about my interior. How did I do that.. Where I bought that.. Bla bla....
" hey, you still haven't put anything inside this room. Why huh? " that's everyone's comment when they open the room beside guest room.
" well I don't know what to do with it, I already have my working room, mini library part, a walk in wardrobe.. "
" you love to dance, don't you? Why don't you make it like a studio or mini gymnasium ? " Swee cut my words with her idea.
I pull her wrist to my working room that combine with my walk-in wardrobe. She gasps as she see a really big mirror on one side of that room.
" I decide to add this part and covers the tiles with parquet and wallaaa I have everything in one room. Oh, and I don't need mini gymnasium or whatsoever. My architectural office has it on the second floor. They rent it or something I don't know so we automatically become the gym members "
I explain while set up the speaker and play some music. We start to dance like crazy until we realize that we leave our snacks and movie. We laugh so hard and go back sitting on the couch , continue munching like a hamster.
The movie already come to the end and our snacks are finished too. Swee decide to sleep over and we move to my bedroom.
After brushing our teeth and change to sleepwear, we wait no seconds, jump onto my bed and start to cuddle with all the pillows and slush toys that I have.
Oh, Swee has her own toothbrush and some cloth in my house. And I have too in hers. That's how close we are.
"why don't you adopt a son or daughter and make the empty room him."
Swee sudden suggestion make my eyes widen.
"Weyo? Don't you love the idea having youngster with you" Swee says with teasing smile and wriggle eyebrows.
" I am not pedo you dumbass! Or am I? " I reply with same teasing smile. We laugh together because we know the truth.
Surely, I am not pedophile. I don't have sexual desire towards kids. But maybe someone younger than me. Not too young though. Or cute pretty man.
We continue chatting until our eyes give up and choose to sleep.
