Writing Challenge 2020 Day 8: write a story about a skilled pickpocket

I searched through the crowds of people, looking for someone or anyone who looked like they had a few pennies to spare.
I never robbed poor people. It was one of the things that helped my sleep at night and cope itβs the guilt. These rich, stuck up empty heads deserved it anyway.
So invested in the things that really donβt matter in life that they went through life with an air of ignorance and self-righteousness. Climbing people to get the to the top of the social ladder, and kicking them down once theyβd reached the safe place.
In fact, they had what was coming to them.
There, the perfect victim.
A dark-skinned bombshell with luscious black curls and chocolatey eyes strutted through the streets in her crimson Louis Vuitton heels, complimenting her scarlet mini dress.
Diamonds, emeralds, sapphires: you name it, she was wearing them.
Jewellery usually wasnβt my speciality, but for today, it had to be.
Casually strolling over to her, I intensely watched her impatiently tap her phone screen before growling at it and throwing it into her baby pink Chanel bag.
βCan I help you?β She rudely questioned, raising one eyebrow suspiciously.
Now I was in such close proximity to her face I could see the pale freckles dotting her nose and sprinkled along her defined, angular cheeks.
βCan you direct me to the train station?β I rambled, unnerved by her natural beauty.
βItβs just down the road, right round that corner over there.β She directed me, turning around to point out the corner that she was talking about, leaving her completely vulnerable to my… skills.
Like I said, the perfect target.
I felt bad for doing what I was about to do, she seemed like a genuine girl, just born into the wrong family, we didnβt get to choose our family as I knew all too well.
Smoothly, after years of practice, I unbuckled her diamond watch, making extra care as to not graze her skin, and deceivingly slipped it into my pocket.
βRight, well, uh, that will be all. Uh, thanks.β I stammered, pushing my hands into my pockets and stumbling away, scared sheβd notice her now non-existent precious wrist piece.
βWhat, no thank you?! I guess you wonβt be wanting this back then…β
I turned around at the sound of her taunting voice floating towards me, to find her twirling my brown-stringed precious necklace with a topaz jewel hanging from the bottom, gifted to me from my mother with the same topaz coloured eyes.
βIf your gonna be a stealing a**hole, at least do it properly.β She smirked at me, still twirling the necklace between her perfectly crimson manicured nails.
Iβd been played at my own game.

This was so fun to write. Blaise (thatβs what Iβm calling the sassy, badass girl) is totally my kind of character to write about.
I like writing about characters with a bit of… character! Sassy, no-bs attitude and outspoken π
I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing this (a lot π)
Did you enjoy reading this story? Didnβt you just love Blaise? Would you continue reading this story if possible?

Duuude I didn’t expect that plot twist at the end. Love itt!!! And Blaise totally took me by surprise because she seemed like the rich stereotype at first. Ahh you’re so skilled I loved this!!
Whoop whoop! I am a sucker for writing/loving plot twists! π Thank you so much Bay! π Yes aha, I hate stereotyping but I like to do it and then shock the reader by showing theyβre out really who I made them out to be if that makes sense π Thank you, thank you, thank you!! xx
OMG THIS IS PERFECT! I just had an idea- you should write a crossover story where Audre from my second story meets Blaise, I totally see them being best friends! (Audre is a CEO and hella hella rich and sassy)
WHY THANK YOU! π Ooo spill the beans! Yes I just read over that story again to get a feel for her character, and I totally think that would be awesome , for the title I was thinking βRich Meets Richerβ like darn that would be such a cool spin-off short story!! π
Omg totallyYyy!
Hi there, Amber. I sent you an e-mail!
Hey there! Thanks for letting me know, Iβll get to back to your reply ASAP! π
My pleasure, of course- take your time
xx
Aw thank you! x
Oh, this was super fun to read. Would definitely want to know more about Blaise, and this entire story tbh!
Thanks so much Arshia! Which story would you pick so far for me to continue with? Sorry put you on the spot like that- your comments do mean the world to me π
