So tell me the name of an idiot who decides to go out in the freezing cold of January London without even a Jacket?723Please respect copyright.PENANAaA6iGhLrKK
723Please respect copyright.PENANAiDvmfnG4GL
Caleb Fucking Winters, that's who.723Please respect copyright.PENANAoOijMKU3Uz
723Please respect copyright.PENANAYgwiLt7ZqU
What's worse, is that in the line for the doll, I was in front of a man who was sneezing and coughing nonstop. When I came home I was feeling a bit stuffy, and I blamed it entirely on the cold. Obviously, I was wrong.
Evetta woke me up at two a.m. to inform me that I was roasting, and that she wanted me to take Panadol Cold and Flu; she then all but shoved the two tablets down my throat, and pushed a glass of water into my hands. That's when I realised that Sir Germs A Lot fucked me over.
She's been taking my temperature every half an hour ever since.723Please respect copyright.PENANA98Ll051umX
723Please respect copyright.PENANAhLE8NlheBT
"104.5. That's still high," she sighs. 723Please respect copyright.PENANAUxGO5Key5J
723Please respect copyright.PENANAC29qvpmT0C
I feel like shit. My insides feel hot, and everything outside feels cold. My nose is clogged, so when I talk, I sound like Barney.723Please respect copyright.PENANAqtBBfmAvRH
723Please respect copyright.PENANA5O9s2lhUhL
Then, something occurs to me. 723Please respect copyright.PENANAMIWAFHztvH
723Please respect copyright.PENANANuiK52gUIU
"Aren't you supposed to be at work?"723Please respect copyright.PENANAf2FKYcYQq7
723Please respect copyright.PENANAvIaB7Vyd8m
She looks at me as if I'm retarded.723Please respect copyright.PENANANdCivL1vfO
723Please respect copyright.PENANATeNKku80Ib
"You're sick."723Please respect copyright.PENANAdkzDO8Kc9G
723Please respect copyright.PENANATaswpmZztU
"You have a job."723Please respect copyright.PENANALRw3lTr3VV
723Please respect copyright.PENANAKuUufI6hsM
"I also have a boyfriend who can't even breathe through his nose."723Please respect copyright.PENANAp7nLBtTwr7
723Please respect copyright.PENANAdctHL1LXew
"I can take care of myself," I insist, feeling like so many different kinds of shit. "Go to work," I order her. 723Please respect copyright.PENANACS13j93216
723Please respect copyright.PENANApE8qguEJ1z
"No," she replies.723Please respect copyright.PENANAu6CnpKyWKU
723Please respect copyright.PENANAcO5AZ61Gd3
"Evetta, I don't need anyone to take care of me; please go to work." I can't have her miss work to take care of me.723Please respect copyright.PENANA8qUWDWcF9U
723Please respect copyright.PENANAra9JOlTNYE
"I'd rather not."723Please respect copyright.PENANACfOccUI3Xo
723Please respect copyright.PENANAkWZzfB865R
I sigh in frustration.723Please respect copyright.PENANAHWy4vhyWIv
723Please respect copyright.PENANA86Kj50Gh7s
Of course, as per usual, I internalise that frustration. I'm supposed to take care of her, yet here I am, helpless as ever. Again.723Please respect copyright.PENANAqqCxy7SY7W
723Please respect copyright.PENANASpq7T7pmR2
"Stop." 723Please respect copyright.PENANAe1HVpSaRY3
723Please respect copyright.PENANAVeuGpx9F5U
"Huh?" I say, at a complete loss as to what she is talking about.723Please respect copyright.PENANAARofvftHBB
723Please respect copyright.PENANAu7LEP4nRUj
"Stop blaming yourself. I don't mind missing work to take care of you; I really don't. Please stop being so dramatic."723Please respect copyright.PENANAADbOi6NNLF
723Please respect copyright.PENANAr6MCz4DEId
I nod at her, saying nothing. She sighs.723Please respect copyright.PENANAeLhqipKfWR
723Please respect copyright.PENANAj7mcQgflDr
"Go to sleep, Caleb. You look tired."723Please respect copyright.PENANA7sOBQkAMqQ
723Please respect copyright.PENANAx07Xj3mrdu
I pretend that I didn't hear her.723Please respect copyright.PENANA48nsaLgN97
723Please respect copyright.PENANAmKSZKAIZx2
"I want to hear you play the violin."723Please respect copyright.PENANAaOU2fINwWt
723Please respect copyright.PENANADaTUPWi2zZ
She looks at me surprised.723Please respect copyright.PENANAPIM2sYkRBl
723Please respect copyright.PENANAN3Fql4o8Hg
"I haven't played in a while—"723Please respect copyright.PENANAv5hoatdOMu
723Please respect copyright.PENANAAQP3rIwqet
"Then make something up," I say teasingly. She shoots me a glare and I backtrack.723Please respect copyright.PENANArilfcipoK7
723Please respect copyright.PENANAHffXf9Ld7K
"Okay," I say, chuckling. "What about 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'"? 723Please respect copyright.PENANARl52fUuUkL
723Please respect copyright.PENANAKxGuj8fHuj
She smiles at me.723Please respect copyright.PENANAyhmHjqum2X
723Please respect copyright.PENANAaTlzDzWKYv
"I would, but I don't have any rosin."723Please respect copyright.PENANAYHkPUf8Lw8
723Please respect copyright.PENANAXi5j3MgKrb
"Yes, you do. Look in the bottom of the bag."723Please respect copyright.PENANAmEfnFI6fh9
723Please respect copyright.PENANAyZQBhomP8S
She raises her eyebrow. "Did you plan to have me play for you?"723Please respect copyright.PENANA77V96V1oFQ
723Please respect copyright.PENANA6jMHXBdTMS
"Babe, I just wanted to give you the full package," I reply, pun unapologetically intended.723Please respect copyright.PENANApfKhQzwee0
723Please respect copyright.PENANAYXlBcZ82Ht
Her smile broadens. "Glad to know."723Please respect copyright.PENANAN5mkWuj7Ot
723Please respect copyright.PENANAhf6YC9S2DB
She takes the rosin out of the bag and removes it from its casing; as she applies it, I can't deny that she has a certain elegance about her. When she looks up and catches me staring at her, she raises an eyebrow, and I raise mine back.723Please respect copyright.PENANAyxouOZxoMM
723Please respect copyright.PENANArnLhnLBVcX
"Okay. So, 'Twinkle Twinkle', right?" she asks, and I nod my head enthusiastically.723Please respect copyright.PENANAkCmhuN8olL
723Please respect copyright.PENANAmWAbF0Icp1
Then, she begins.723Please respect copyright.PENANA92D7ApHeCX
723Please respect copyright.PENANAL6uD6jpjVh
To be honest, she's kind of a show off. She uses chords, somehow manages to run a scale through it after playing the note for 'sky', and when she's done, she simply puts everything away, as if the past two minutes never just happened.723Please respect copyright.PENANAslA6cy31bZ
723Please respect copyright.PENANAJVf85UzHPO
When she turns back to me, she ignores my awed expression, and simply says:723Please respect copyright.PENANAxH8zF7VkPx
723Please respect copyright.PENANA6t7XjIikSC
"It's time to take your temperature again."723Please respect copyright.PENANAP5WeBpZeOy
723Please respect copyright.PENANAHhPiB1mo7w
***723Please respect copyright.PENANAQaaIbXkjor
723Please respect copyright.PENANATiitBfCrGj
"100.1. Better, but still a fever," Evetta says exasperated, sitting on the bed beside me.723Please respect copyright.PENANAm4XDGsXSaX
723Please respect copyright.PENANAVVP1dCHFod
It's midday, and she has not left the house. She has not even bathed, but for some reason, she smells like baking soda, and beeswax, and... coconut oil?723Please respect copyright.PENANAoKpjn1pi2l
723Please respect copyright.PENANAt694KoV9yz
I sniff a little more, trying to figure it out. Apparently I'm not as inconspicuous as I thought, because she notices.723Please respect copyright.PENANAx0okWxirmv
723Please respect copyright.PENANAFYBsbjTvoW
"It's my deodorant. It's natural deodorant, and I wiped my armpits with wet wipes and I put it on this morning."723Please respect copyright.PENANAH4slCwydsI
723Please respect copyright.PENANAX2bLWcoIEK
What the fuck? That's so strange.723Please respect copyright.PENANAmD5FUjxEsT
723Please respect copyright.PENANA6gAwbQvIW2
"Why?"723Please respect copyright.PENANAx8kNwPfv2A
723Please respect copyright.PENANAcLWKPTGJw4
"Because my armpits naturally smell like a gorilla's ass crack, and I didn't think you'd appreciate that smell. I'm making pumpkin soup. And before you ask me how I know where everything is, I know this house inside out. I used to stay here with you all the time, and after the accident, I never stopped coming here; I would keep your mother's company." With that, she leaves the room.723Please respect copyright.PENANADWCC1UcaYE
723Please respect copyright.PENANAE2f8vgnh7M
Wow. She always knows what's going to fly out of my mouth; but why would she want to stay around my mother? It's not as if they have anything in common. My mother is humourless, timid, and very introverted. I just can't see my mother being close enough friends with Evetta that it would allow her to come over regularly.723Please respect copyright.PENANAJybKmHxWjg
723Please respect copyright.PENANAzALhcbi2VF
And that speech about her armpits. A gorilla's ass crack. That sounds awful. What does that even mean? I try to imagine the smell, create it in my mind, and it isn't pleasant.723Please respect copyright.PENANA8J00MLoQrO
723Please respect copyright.PENANAuccXHRXlkF
"Here," I hear her say from the doorway. Yet again, I failed to take notice of the passage of time, and I can hardly smell anything, but as she brings the steaming bowl to me, my stomach growls in anticipation, as if calling the food.723Please respect copyright.PENANAJKuTs7CKTI
723Please respect copyright.PENANAeaWg2Hh9Hr
She laughs; it's that warm, bubbly sound again.723Please respect copyright.PENANARJTF2bwT3I
723Please respect copyright.PENANArgJL3nRLw4
"Try not to eat the bowl."723Please respect copyright.PENANACCQE1kVmxT
723Please respect copyright.PENANA2rSyYxBwgZ
She sets the trey down on the bed in front of me and goes into the bathroom to bathe.723Please respect copyright.PENANAPWvH0PDjld
723Please respect copyright.PENANATwkmRl0M63
I look down at the thick, orange liquid, and raise a spoonful to my lips and blow on it before drinking it.723Please respect copyright.PENANAd6Mkb3eNKA
723Please respect copyright.PENANAxOwRkXPG7N
The taste is amazing; it's as if heaven has been brought down in the form of soup and presented to me.723Please respect copyright.PENANAiVE8vepGqe
723Please respect copyright.PENANAlpTcqbC10L
However, as I am pulling the spoon out of my mouth, something hits me; something big.723Please respect copyright.PENANAuNlp94WQg7
723Please respect copyright.PENANAyyr9qpRlrO
A memory.723Please respect copyright.PENANAK1IYIkp5mI
723Please respect copyright.PENANA0ePPwQP0BY
A memory of Evetta feeding me this same dish, literally feeding me with the spoon, a flirtatious smile on her face.723Please respect copyright.PENANAjrlckFCad2
723Please respect copyright.PENANAuEdEvWGYqX
The my reaction.723Please respect copyright.PENANAg7DL214t2a
723Please respect copyright.PENANAWKj8j16lOn
"Holy shit! That's amazing!"723Please respect copyright.PENANAvAgvmgeZh6
723Please respect copyright.PENANAOM3sKK7Y0E
"You really think so?"723Please respect copyright.PENANAJmVetkeJaA
723Please respect copyright.PENANAfdifARoGoz
"Yes, of course, darling." 723Please respect copyright.PENANAl3ObMVRRVd
723Please respect copyright.PENANAaE3YbY3I0I
After which, we kissed.723Please respect copyright.PENANAl2Gya9Zks2
723Please respect copyright.PENANAH4ZHdQfLt2
Before I know what I'm doing, I walk straight into the bathroom.723Please respect copyright.PENANAsErtH3TSRC
723Please respect copyright.PENANAXXinyaNLq5
"Ah!" she shouts in surprise, completely naked, under the shower.723Please respect copyright.PENANAbPoBaZURaR
723Please respect copyright.PENANA0TyBMGyjqD
"I had a memory of you, and you're fucking hot," I say struggling to keep my eyes on her face after eye-fucking her body for about two seconds.723Please respect copyright.PENANApJVrJugV1g
723Please respect copyright.PENANAt3rQUOXwGA
"You what? What did you remember?"723Please respect copyright.PENANAREoAH3I4Xs
723Please respect copyright.PENANAlgY8es10Jo
"The first time you made me soup," I say. It may not seem like a major memory to an outsider, but for me, it's a big deal; it's the first step.723Please respect copyright.PENANAvBX9dji0pK
723Please respect copyright.PENANA5tQAlAiBbG
"That's amazing, Caleb, I'm so happy! I'd hug you, but I'm wet, and you're sick."723Please respect copyright.PENANAIPg5Wc9pBf
723Please respect copyright.PENANASPQRYmF6CJ
"You're wet?"723Please respect copyright.PENANAkfHDQLYLmB
723Please respect copyright.PENANAXmBhjZphZN
"Shut up," she says grinning. 723Please respect copyright.PENANAjr1LVjAu6w
723Please respect copyright.PENANAkPkrq8bUkG
"Don't worry, you'll say that for me soon enough," I say exiting the bathroom, and even though I'm fucked up, happier than I've been in a long time, because a) I got back my first memory of Evetta, 2) she knows that, and I know that it makes her happy, and 3) I didn't miss the way that her thighs came together when I spoke of making her wet, so I figure that I already have.723Please respect copyright.PENANAActZ4VeUlT
