A Trickster (Part 4)

by purpletears




At first, when she was younger, Maria was reluctant to do such a thing. It was just mean. But after a short while, she realized it was a good way to make some money, without risking her psyche so much, like she used to do. So, she became a professional trickster. Never got that fat to kill a poor man… That would be inhuman. Unlike other woman, she just got her partners drunk, and then, stole their wallets. Ok, that was man too, but it was an almost painless way to earn some side money.
But that night, she couldn´t bring herself to do such a thing. That young man was so tender! He treated her almost with the same tenderness men treat his girlfriends. He made her feel almost human again, a feeling she had forgotten after a rough life. But also, a little voice in her head, kept telling her that nobody was going to put food on her plate if she was unable to finish her deed. What to do? The young man was sleeping next to her, with a faint smile on her lips. No, she couldn´t bring herself to do it! Was she a big fool? Maybe. But she didn´t care. So, she just kissed the youngster on the forehead and quickly left, without stealing anything. After all, tomorrow would be another day to party.
