Round Eight – Fourth Fiction

Round 8 Challenge for Outside Participants: Incorporate a reflection in a mirror. 600 words.

Looking at her, spoiling the cat, he could just think about the day they finally met.
They´ve been chatting for weeks in a private chat.  She was the one who asked him for it.
He´s never felt so incredible blessed before.  It was a moment he´d remember for years, for sure.
If only he’ll have years, of course…
One day, when they were talking about Dexter, the TV Show, she said they should meet each other in person.
He thought she was joking.  He was used to it, people making fun of him. He would never believe that a pretty and older girl wishes to meet him…  Not him, too much tall, too much white, too much thin…  Not to mention his glasses, the braces, and, of course, the pimples; oh, gosh, so many pimples… Yes, he had mirrors back home, and he used to see his reflection on them…  It wasn´t a pretty sight…
He always thought about himself as a tough diamond, waiting to be polished…  At least this way he could have some hope.  The future must bring a new and improved WG!
His name, in fact, was William Robbey-Smithson, but he adopted the WG, despite the bad joke, because he assumes his geekness, if there is such word.
He knew he was a geek, a nerd. That´s why he loves The Big Bang Theory, and was able to understand all the jokes they told…
Therefore, for him, WG was William Geek.  It sounds like a royal name, on his head.
That was his nickname on the chat when he met her.
Really, really shy, he was there just to talk about TV shows. But she was there looking for an accomplice, even though she claims to be looking for a ‘soul mate’.
Anyway, they ended up together in this mess.
He wonders if he would did anything different back then, when she asked him out, if he knew all that was going to happen.
He looks at her again.  Her soft skin, the beautiful green eyes, so contrasting with the tanned skin. Her hair so full and curly, black with lighted shadows…
She had perfect teeth.  Yes, he knows it´s an odd thing to pay attention when it comes to chicks, but he did. He´d  planes to become a dentist…  Although the geeks usually wants to be engineers, physicists and mathematicians, he wishes to be a dentist.
Everything seems so perfect, such a huge amazingly luck, that he seriously doubt he would say ‘no’ to her, even knowing everything…
The minute she said, or better saying, typed, after he froze and didn´t answer for several minutes:

“hey… where are you? Don´t want to meet me? I´m cool, you´ll like me, I hope! ”

He knew they were made for each other. They´ve exchanged images so far, through the webcam, so she knew how he looks like. And that´s why he thought she was joking…
But now, three days, just three damn days later, here they are, after a mug and two murders, at minimum…  No, think again, WG; after a robber, a murder, and a murder attempt…
Where the fucking hell is the other guy??
He didn´t realize he´d said that out loud until she answer the initially rhetoric question, in the most terrifying way, never stoppingto caress the cat:.
“I think he´s right there, across the street, staring at us, baby…”
