THE ROOMIES A MODERN FANTASY Jeff Martin was just leaving for his first class at Ohio
State’s College of Engineering when his phone rang. He paused on the
porch, decided it might be important, and went back to answer the call. It
was Brad Baker, a long time friend from undergraduate school at Ohio
State. “Hi, Jeff, gotcha a great deal.
You know my mom’s house out on Windsor Circle. Well, she gave it to me for
my 21st birthday, but I’m leaving for Argentina next week and I
got to get me a renter.” “Great Brad, old friend, but how am I going to pay rent
on a house on Windsor Circle?” “You can dig up 300 a month. Don’t worry, I gotcha a
roomie. A girl roomie. She’ll probably keep up the kitchen, at least the
top layer, and there are two bedrooms, each with a bathroom, a guest room,
too. So you can hang out in the family room and drink coffee in the
kitchen before you have to take off in the mornings. I’m keeping the same
maintenance service Mom had. They mow and shovel and all that stuff. You
and Cathy just got to keep the place presentable. She’s comin’ over to
your place about seven tonight. Okay?” “Hey, I can’t just leave my apartment overnight, man. I
gotta give at least 30 days notice.” |
