I would not like me if I was her.

Picture Maria Felix as soldadera. Arvel sat next to her and began looking through the picnic basket. “Let’s see what Pilar packed for us.”
“I hope it is not poison, Pendejo.” She laughed and swished her feet in the pool.
Arvel looked up at her, a bit worried. “You aren’t going to kill Pilar, are you, Chica?”
She laughed out loud. “No, Pendejo. I do not kill women. Why would I?”
“Because of what she called you. I don’t think she likes you very much, Chica.”
“Well, she would not be a good woman if she did. I would not like me if I was her.” She flicked her cigarette butt into the water and watched it float away, downstream. He handed her a drumstick and a tin cup of wine.
“This is good, Pendejo. I am surprised you are not fat.” She ate ravenously. “I like Pilar. She take good care of you, Pendejo. She will like me after a while, I think.” The Mule Tamer  Photo Source ~ Karelys Davis
