She didn't know I could see her. As an IT repairman I frequently went on housecalls to repair computers. I fixed her computer six months, two weeks, four days, and five hours ago. The moment I saw her I knew she was the one for me. She had long flowing cherry red hair, green eyes, and milky white skin. She was tall and slender, but shorter than me by about an inch, which was important to me. When she let me in and showed me to her computer I followed her in a daze. Her beauty had my head spinning. She was perfect. All I could think of was making her mine.
"This is it. All I get is this weird blue screen. I hope you don't have to take it in. My life is on that computer. I need it fixed asap."
Her voice was beautiful. It was soft and gave the impression that she had a big heart. A heart that perhaps had room for me. I looked at her big cherry red lips and fought a strong urge to kiss them.
"I'll do my best, mam."
I quickly got to work on her computer. I knew what was wrong. Her computer had caught a virus. It was nasty but fixable. All I had to do was wipe the hard drive and reboot the computer. I sat quietly working on her computer. I looked at the pictures on her desk. It looked like she was single. I began to imagine a life together with her. We would have two kids. A boy and girl. They would look like her, but have my sense of humor. My imagination made the work fly by. Before I knew it about an hour had passed and I was rebooting the computer. Once the computer was rebooted I made sure the problem was fixed and planted a small bug in her computer. One that would let me turn on the camera at anytime and monitor any activity on her computer.
"Mam! Computer is fixed!" I shouted.
She sprinted in. She saw her computer running and a beautiful smile slowly lit up her face.
"Oh you saved my life. My thesis is on that computer."
"I had to wipe the hard drive. Your computer is back to day one. I hope you backed up your work."
"Of course. Computers are to unreliable not to have a backup."
I nodded my head and handed her the bill and then left her house.
After that day I kept tabs on her. She did most of her work at home. She was a part time student that attended evening classes on Tuesday and Thursday. She would leave the house at around five and come home about ten. She made her money writing ariticles online. She was pretty decent at it. She was studying creative writing. She had a facebook page and a twitter page. I was now a friend and following her twitter page. She had an email that I frequently hacked into.
She kept receiving messages from a Darren. They were romantic in nature. I didn't like her talking to this twerp. She was my girl. No one elses's. We would marry and live happily ever after. I had been planning the perfect way to run into her so we could officially start dating. This Darren didn't know her like I did. I knew her whole routine everyday. I knew what she liked and didn't like. I knew her hopes and her dreams. I knew she believed in an afterlife. I knew her faviorate color and had seen that cute mole on her right butt cheek from looking in on her with the camera. She was mine.
It's been another two months. I have finally spoken to her, but she won't give me the time of day. She has fallen under the spell of this Darren guy. I don't understand what she sees in him. I recieved the worst news yesterday. They are engaged. She bragged about it on her twitter and facebook pages. How can she betray me? Doesn't she know that I am her soulmate! I have decided that if I can't have her no one will.
I am currently hiding in her bedroom closet. My brand new handgun at my side. She was currently in bed reading a book. I would wait till she was asleep and shoot. It didn't take long. Soon she turned off the light and went to sleep.
I slowly make my way out of the closest. I walk to her bedside and point the gun at her head. Suddenly I hear someone cock a gun and then a man shouted: "Freeze asshole! Put down the gun!"
I just smiled. This guy didn't have the guts. He wasn't a real police officer. Just some body guard to make her feel better. Like he actually cared. I cocked the gun and put my finger on the trigger.
Just then I heard a loud bang echo in the bedroom. A sharp pain shot through my abdomen. I looked down and saw a gunshot in my gut. I was bleeding badly and I was getting light headed. The love of my life sat up with a horrified look in her eyes. I tried to step forward to tell her to smile, but I collapsed and everything went black.
