Included With The Apartment

So, I have a friend who has a friend I shall call Audrey.  Audrey is over the age of 70, retired, and decided to be careful with her money.  She came to the conclusion that it would be good to rent a room in an apartment.  Audrey looked and looked and couldn’t seem to find anything decent.

Finally, Audrey came upon an apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. A couple was renting out one of their bedrooms.  The apartment was large, had light and was in a great location. 

Audrey sat in the living room as the couple enumerated all of the benefits.  Audrey could share the kitchen and the living room.   And the couple mentioned something else that was included – a ménage a trois. 

Audrey’s first thought was – Me?  Couldn’t you find anyone younger?  The couple was in their 60s, so maybe Audrey was exactly what they wanted.  Audrey decided the package was not what she was looking for.

When I was very young, I had a boyfriend.  We liked to think we were adventurous.  So we talked about the possibility of a ménage a trois.  My boyfriend lived with his friend, he asked his friend and his friend agreed.  We made plans for the event.  About a week before, I freaked out.  I could not do it.  Something deep in me swelled up and said –NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! 

So, I’m not that adventurous.  I wonder how many people really are.  And what the aftermath is like.
