“Well,” Maria said with a deep breath, “here you are with this big beautiful apartment, and there I am with my one-third of my little apartment, and a rent that just keeps going up and up. So … what I was thinking was, maybe you could use a roommate.”
“What?” Jim asked as he stepped back out of her arms. “What made you think I would want a roommate?”
“Well, until you told me about your sweetheart deal with the rent here, I actually thought you might have trouble meeting it by yourself. After all, you can’t be making that much working part time and still going to school.”
“My dad’s union gave me a full scholarship based on my grades,” Jim interrupted, “and he left me some insurance money, enough to make up the difference.”
“I see,” Maria replied. “I didn’t know that. But there was one other thing I was willing to bring to the deal, something that I thought might help you see it as to your advantage.”
“What was that?” he asked curiously.
“You’d get me.”
“Excuse me?”
“You heard me right,” Maria said. “You’d not only get a roommate, you’d get a lover that would let you find out exactly what you could only imagine laying on that bed a few years ago.”
“You think I can’t get laid on my own?” Jim said a little defensively.
“Not at all, in fact, I’m surprised a cute guy like you doesn’t have a regular girlfriend already,” Maria answered. “In fact, if we were a little closer in age, I might be applying for the position myself.”
“So let me get this straight,” Jim said as he sorted it out. “I let you move in here and not only do you pay half the rent, you let me fuck you whenever I want?”
