Roommate Problems

Portia was in hell. She had finally found an apartment she could afford as she studied theater in college and worked part time at a cosmetics store. Her roommate Livy was the only one on the lease, though, and she could kick Portia out at any time.

Not only was Portia constantly late with the rent, Livy caught her using her shampoo, hairspray and other toiletries without ever offering to buy more.

Livy had had enough and confronted Portia and said she was getting kicked out. Portia begged Livy to let her stay.

"Fine," said Livy, "But only if you obey me until you come up with your share of rent, and when I say obey, I mean obey."

"Fine, what do you want me to do?"

"Strip naked."

"What?!"

"Let's see if you mean it."

"Fine!" Portia stripped naked. "I can't believe you talked me into this."

"No, I'm going grocery shopping. When I get back, I want this place spotless, and you better still be naked by the time I get back. If it's not spotless...well...I'll think of some way to punish you." Livy grabbed her purse and left.

Olivia looked around. The place wasn't a total mess, but dishes in the sink needed to be clean, there was junk mail and magazines strewn around the living room, and the toilet, tub, sink, and bathroom floor needed cleaning, and she knew Livy would probably be back in about 40 minutes.
