Nicholas

"Yeah, I've known Erwin Smith for a while. His father used to be my teacher."

Whenever I look back at those days ...

"We have his full support but he will be helping us in secret, we can't mention him unless necessary."

I can't stop thinking about how stupid I was.

Sitting at a wooden table in a random tavern, this is how I mostly spend my weekends. Planing for a coup d'é tat because the murder and the rape of my mother still hunts me to this day.

"Anything else I can help you with gentlemen?" the waitress asks as she gives us our drinks.

"Yeah, when are the tavern dancers gonna come out, and how much for them?" One of my friends ask and I rolled my eyes in annoyance.

"They will be out any minute, all tavern dancers have different prices and it depends on them whether they want to have intercourse with you or not."

I didn't know back then but today was important. Tonight, I will be meeting the woman who will change my life.

"Yo, Nicholas you need to calm down. Everything will be fine, why don't you get with a woman tonight?"

"I don't need a woman, what I need is-"

My friend pulls me closer to him as he puts his arm around my shoulders. "What about her?"

My eyes adverted to a young woman. Long brown beautiful hair, her caramel eyes shone as she walked by and her dark circles were a bit predominant but it didn't make her any less attractive.

She was pretty alright but I didn't come here to hook up with anyone.

"I don't need a woman."

"Well, it's not like you would have any chance with her anyway," my friends says as the other men at the table laugh as well. "That's Maria, one of the virgin tavern dancers in here ... God, I would kill to have her thighs choke me."

Sometimes men have a disgusting way of expressing about women and knowing the worst about them, it even made me angry to be part of the male community from time to time.

"If you are so interested in her, why don't you go talk to her?" I asked

"I've tried and she said no," my friend responded. "But I am sure Mr. Flaherty is smooth and good at convincing, aren't you? After all, that's how you've gotten us so far."

I looked over to the woman again as she began to take the stage. Slowly raising her skirt to show her beautiful legs and now I understood why my friend wanted to be smashed with her thighs because I wanted that too now.

And it wasn't even vulgar, her face was sexy and pleasing to look at. As if she was playing to be the last woman in the world. As if she knew how beautiful she is and she was hypnotizing me.

And then I decided to do it. To get so drunk to get the confidence I needed because the truth is ... That I was never really able to talk to beautiful women.

And someway and another ... We ended up together. And now that I think about it, Maria has always been terrible about picking men.

There were many reasons why I wanted to start a coup d'e tat. Mainly because the royal family was the reason why my mother was killed and raped in front of me. Maybe because it was that reason that my father was driven into madness. Maybe because of them ... I was alone.
