So tell me the name of an idiot who decides to go out in the freezing cold of January London without even a Jacket?664Please respect copyright.PENANApXKRDwR3u3
664Please respect copyright.PENANAr5Sxb0itiC
Caleb Fucking Winters, that's who.664Please respect copyright.PENANAhAktG5iJDO
664Please respect copyright.PENANAzQPKWSfbRX
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.664Please respect copyright.PENANAm6c1i18OPv
664Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7i5KJli9T
"104.5. That's still high," she sighs. 664Please respect copyright.PENANAt9Z8lJTJfP
664Please respect copyright.PENANAMH3OtFXe1p
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.664Please respect copyright.PENANAs8rzuQ4Kpm
664Please respect copyright.PENANAKKjSFL5g8g
Then, something occurs to me. 664Please respect copyright.PENANAHulYjSVuyu
664Please respect copyright.PENANAxkaNoZRpnA
"Aren't you supposed to be at work?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAfX0RC0hnVC
664Please respect copyright.PENANAwT32QX5NCm
She looks at me as if I'm retarded.664Please respect copyright.PENANA9I6kI3aVph
664Please respect copyright.PENANA7nDGlcKY5l
"You're sick."664Please respect copyright.PENANAKeCrTExTU6
664Please respect copyright.PENANAmK8806GHKZ
"You have a job."664Please respect copyright.PENANAadSuxsBvMv
664Please respect copyright.PENANAhLs39e6aQP
"I also have a boyfriend who can't even breathe through his nose."664Please respect copyright.PENANAmBGYeMbMHm
664Please respect copyright.PENANAxJJn1U7GqV
"I can take care of myself," I insist, feeling like so many different kinds of shit. "Go to work," I order her. 664Please respect copyright.PENANAJrMOEXSsaf
664Please respect copyright.PENANAzH545H92xR
"No," she replies.664Please respect copyright.PENANAOFhddBorKw
664Please respect copyright.PENANAfu1mr7mldK
"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.664Please respect copyright.PENANA70Tc9J1mPJ
664Please respect copyright.PENANAjSP8U5piPZ
"I'd rather not."664Please respect copyright.PENANAplgTlX2KDW
664Please respect copyright.PENANA5IjTvTAviM
I sigh in frustration.664Please respect copyright.PENANAjXQvW2XUlm
664Please respect copyright.PENANAOkosZMs3Ed
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.664Please respect copyright.PENANAR48VPziEcx
664Please respect copyright.PENANAemcfh9jteE
"Stop." 664Please respect copyright.PENANAF31T3Bxhrd
664Please respect copyright.PENANA0TB2IAPu89
"Huh?" I say, at a complete loss as to what she is talking about.664Please respect copyright.PENANAYJ6KS9tRuZ
664Please respect copyright.PENANAQzPKVKpTLH
"Stop blaming yourself. I don't mind missing work to take care of you; I really don't. Please stop being so dramatic."664Please respect copyright.PENANA8A6YLfnOw7
664Please respect copyright.PENANACrRKL9cqkc
I nod at her, saying nothing. She sighs.664Please respect copyright.PENANA6jJVBjMV7a
664Please respect copyright.PENANAQzBh7HckjI
"Go to sleep, Caleb. You look tired."664Please respect copyright.PENANAHug3tKuvUd
664Please respect copyright.PENANAwqiD3I50K0
I pretend that I didn't hear her.664Please respect copyright.PENANAvJ42dLjDvR
664Please respect copyright.PENANAEhKwl4Fphm
"I want to hear you play the violin."664Please respect copyright.PENANAV9eIyVE4t9
664Please respect copyright.PENANAbgxnljfvku
She looks at me surprised.664Please respect copyright.PENANAOLk7dOiv9l
664Please respect copyright.PENANARyYUmrnvHX
"I haven't played in a while—"664Please respect copyright.PENANAqZGcNNJ23k
664Please respect copyright.PENANAGqOiCsCmQm
"Then make something up," I say teasingly. She shoots me a glare and I backtrack.664Please respect copyright.PENANAuh9WrZr9Jv
664Please respect copyright.PENANAuQ2Ps25wPc
"Okay," I say, chuckling. "What about 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'"? 664Please respect copyright.PENANALcI83Sqt37
664Please respect copyright.PENANAUyLfry9wRi
She smiles at me.664Please respect copyright.PENANApWy6VK9zKp
664Please respect copyright.PENANAXBHsfKiZjo
"I would, but I don't have any rosin."664Please respect copyright.PENANAubR2RozpZq
664Please respect copyright.PENANABc3wnuIdaW
"Yes, you do. Look in the bottom of the bag."664Please respect copyright.PENANAyYG88fXaWc
664Please respect copyright.PENANA5SwvRmWf5h
She raises her eyebrow. "Did you plan to have me play for you?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAvD85VnsAWz
664Please respect copyright.PENANAnPTkgWk3tP
"Babe, I just wanted to give you the full package," I reply, pun unapologetically intended.664Please respect copyright.PENANANBy5DPHz9W
664Please respect copyright.PENANALVZsTdEXCX
Her smile broadens. "Glad to know."664Please respect copyright.PENANAIoxkt23TW7
664Please respect copyright.PENANAGxpStiKrxI
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.664Please respect copyright.PENANAZDVwJrg3qN
664Please respect copyright.PENANAf2fTKwwRHn
"Okay. So, 'Twinkle Twinkle', right?" she asks, and I nod my head enthusiastically.664Please respect copyright.PENANAg6rynPx4Om
664Please respect copyright.PENANAJQ3KFwweTo
Then, she begins.664Please respect copyright.PENANAg5oH8LJtAf
664Please respect copyright.PENANAnnmKjD0kCN
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.664Please respect copyright.PENANAXT3HQmRSm5
664Please respect copyright.PENANAtFS1dXa024
When she turns back to me, she ignores my awed expression, and simply says:664Please respect copyright.PENANA7RymWZB8r4
664Please respect copyright.PENANAxRD6uKewkm
"It's time to take your temperature again."664Please respect copyright.PENANAI8EC9osJuj
664Please respect copyright.PENANAXoamzxIaiX
***664Please respect copyright.PENANAxff91kj35q
664Please respect copyright.PENANAWjBRnbXjLp
"100.1. Better, but still a fever," Evetta says exasperated, sitting on the bed beside me.664Please respect copyright.PENANA7mmDlyPmC4
664Please respect copyright.PENANAzT5GioWg9J
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?664Please respect copyright.PENANAIVdDwvMk7d
664Please respect copyright.PENANAzfWVRRoWPn
I sniff a little more, trying to figure it out. Apparently I'm not as inconspicuous as I thought, because she notices.664Please respect copyright.PENANA4cZaQTFEc5
664Please respect copyright.PENANAX5E4P3ETRX
"It's my deodorant. It's natural deodorant, and I wiped my armpits with wet wipes and I put it on this morning."664Please respect copyright.PENANAzajyEX7Z55
664Please respect copyright.PENANAOxSuEvXUHj
What the fuck? That's so strange.664Please respect copyright.PENANAhk8dgPCeqq
664Please respect copyright.PENANAkqh9tVWnfl
"Why?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAFT7vAx2oX6
664Please respect copyright.PENANA6PXr55LphR
"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.664Please respect copyright.PENANAYA9VYsFmNZ
664Please respect copyright.PENANAYaQodw2XRh
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.664Please respect copyright.PENANA1yBDlvvECw
664Please respect copyright.PENANAGERvMQNFqO
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.664Please respect copyright.PENANAmK7L1M9vVc
664Please respect copyright.PENANApKcxhhisok
"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.664Please respect copyright.PENANADLEy09i7eI
664Please respect copyright.PENANAQFXPaQ7yTY
She laughs; it's that warm, bubbly sound again.664Please respect copyright.PENANA715moQVCGE
664Please respect copyright.PENANAKhpCe45Xag
"Try not to eat the bowl."664Please respect copyright.PENANAhoK5OQ3trN
664Please respect copyright.PENANAexduzqrj6W
She sets the trey down on the bed in front of me and goes into the bathroom to bathe.664Please respect copyright.PENANAJOwrVhPne4
664Please respect copyright.PENANA6QXcVrVswt
I look down at the thick, orange liquid, and raise a spoonful to my lips and blow on it before drinking it.664Please respect copyright.PENANAxV9jQbDQXL
664Please respect copyright.PENANAEFnz7kfoKY
The taste is amazing; it's as if heaven has been brought down in the form of soup and presented to me.664Please respect copyright.PENANAzC2o2KIgz7
664Please respect copyright.PENANAPGQrbyFrzC
However, as I am pulling the spoon out of my mouth, something hits me; something big.664Please respect copyright.PENANAa3mK2D03oS
664Please respect copyright.PENANAtf3vrbEV03
A memory.664Please respect copyright.PENANAPsMqiUUMEL
664Please respect copyright.PENANAmre3z68GEG
A memory of Evetta feeding me this same dish, literally feeding me with the spoon, a flirtatious smile on her face.664Please respect copyright.PENANAoKLDGzAlwc
664Please respect copyright.PENANARK0X1nxYKe
The my reaction.664Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ilu7DnChw
664Please respect copyright.PENANAquSUN1aUpk
"Holy shit! That's amazing!"664Please respect copyright.PENANAwlxffwftep
664Please respect copyright.PENANAtS4HmqT8Nx
"You really think so?"664Please respect copyright.PENANACshr2tp5E3
664Please respect copyright.PENANAGUjlfoyq03
"Yes, of course, darling." 664Please respect copyright.PENANAQa8GoUIMkA
664Please respect copyright.PENANAhZ1WG4sEmy
After which, we kissed.664Please respect copyright.PENANAplHdyMf3cm
664Please respect copyright.PENANAd1Imoe9Hbj
Before I know what I'm doing, I walk straight into the bathroom.664Please respect copyright.PENANAjbVPBt0dtm
664Please respect copyright.PENANAVO2dLfmVNI
"Ah!" she shouts in surprise, completely naked, under the shower.664Please respect copyright.PENANAsmIGkUFPcs
664Please respect copyright.PENANA9J47W4VJwe
"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.664Please respect copyright.PENANA8LpiH3IrxV
664Please respect copyright.PENANAogEXvDgOVo
"You what? What did you remember?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAGqMihWuSYu
664Please respect copyright.PENANAm3nsr55OJH
"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.664Please respect copyright.PENANAfXxM6Vz7XP
664Please respect copyright.PENANAMFDiYYxGRf
"That's amazing, Caleb, I'm so happy! I'd hug you, but I'm wet, and you're sick."664Please respect copyright.PENANAudeU2qoHGi
664Please respect copyright.PENANAxXZsC9X6PF
"You're wet?"664Please respect copyright.PENANAr7tgvanajn
664Please respect copyright.PENANASjGln8nT6f
"Shut up," she says grinning. 664Please respect copyright.PENANAa4YUKyLuG2
664Please respect copyright.PENANAN6v5LwfqJ9
"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.664Please respect copyright.PENANA5Tf7wVP04W
