So tell me the name of an idiot who decides to go out in the freezing cold of January London without even a Jacket?708Please respect copyright.PENANAXn1Zwfwjgo
708Please respect copyright.PENANA4ltvS73bZB
Caleb Fucking Winters, that's who.708Please respect copyright.PENANArtynL8f22V
708Please respect copyright.PENANAuTF1LUTl3p
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.708Please respect copyright.PENANAQskabtzkgK
708Please respect copyright.PENANAJHBEHJxyPk
"104.5. That's still high," she sighs. 708Please respect copyright.PENANAi5nRa6mUvF
708Please respect copyright.PENANAvmhcl7mOCA
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.708Please respect copyright.PENANAG2idKb9zUW
708Please respect copyright.PENANAoHeNTr7ffB
Then, something occurs to me. 708Please respect copyright.PENANA409AFYW5FY
708Please respect copyright.PENANArGKiiR5VIx
"Aren't you supposed to be at work?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAxTDcJuTyeb
708Please respect copyright.PENANAOIxioG90eM
She looks at me as if I'm retarded.708Please respect copyright.PENANAMzfDXrBmgx
708Please respect copyright.PENANAqZTF9JXXos
"You're sick."708Please respect copyright.PENANAGRk1JVhLwS
708Please respect copyright.PENANAHj02DE197v
"You have a job."708Please respect copyright.PENANANTCbxF3lDA
708Please respect copyright.PENANA1hbrDdrmcd
"I also have a boyfriend who can't even breathe through his nose."708Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ii481mlVz
708Please respect copyright.PENANAfL0TAswnyC
"I can take care of myself," I insist, feeling like so many different kinds of shit. "Go to work," I order her. 708Please respect copyright.PENANAcvQHpziIyU
708Please respect copyright.PENANAwHRcFxzs3v
"No," she replies.708Please respect copyright.PENANA5tvx2gD5zu
708Please respect copyright.PENANACDwBrjLPp7
"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.708Please respect copyright.PENANAX5TfQZ8xwV
708Please respect copyright.PENANAaGQdI3CR83
"I'd rather not."708Please respect copyright.PENANAOULMgZEnZm
708Please respect copyright.PENANA7dJ9dc0kpo
I sigh in frustration.708Please respect copyright.PENANAXQLE3e9Fp4
708Please respect copyright.PENANAxasyiVwAzZ
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.708Please respect copyright.PENANANZsPNnGFUO
708Please respect copyright.PENANATd6O6SdqOO
"Stop." 708Please respect copyright.PENANA4eueOowrBk
708Please respect copyright.PENANAL1gcEd2UuH
"Huh?" I say, at a complete loss as to what she is talking about.708Please respect copyright.PENANAIWWqtO9PUG
708Please respect copyright.PENANAMyGnF9pZ8h
"Stop blaming yourself. I don't mind missing work to take care of you; I really don't. Please stop being so dramatic."708Please respect copyright.PENANAxnDgDFS5qt
708Please respect copyright.PENANA3ER0UqHmvN
I nod at her, saying nothing. She sighs.708Please respect copyright.PENANAf6rRlO3vFh
708Please respect copyright.PENANA5LNibBdkj4
"Go to sleep, Caleb. You look tired."708Please respect copyright.PENANA5XRIITnLWR
708Please respect copyright.PENANANy0JYUfas1
I pretend that I didn't hear her.708Please respect copyright.PENANA5k6yYLs9zM
708Please respect copyright.PENANAk5RLioLYHH
"I want to hear you play the violin."708Please respect copyright.PENANAcU7C3PopvF
708Please respect copyright.PENANAluRCp2AwI6
She looks at me surprised.708Please respect copyright.PENANACEUXNz51cG
708Please respect copyright.PENANAhlzt43lkMF
"I haven't played in a while—"708Please respect copyright.PENANAk4Zu9zyM8m
708Please respect copyright.PENANAx3yZneaBh0
"Then make something up," I say teasingly. She shoots me a glare and I backtrack.708Please respect copyright.PENANAiYUFiSzNJd
708Please respect copyright.PENANAJdkBceD2SR
"Okay," I say, chuckling. "What about 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'"? 708Please respect copyright.PENANAZE9wqPrbBI
708Please respect copyright.PENANAM15rfIofh6
She smiles at me.708Please respect copyright.PENANARFgyKWGZdH
708Please respect copyright.PENANA0LWPYbVzk3
"I would, but I don't have any rosin."708Please respect copyright.PENANApSLkr8445h
708Please respect copyright.PENANAyf2GZgpOhW
"Yes, you do. Look in the bottom of the bag."708Please respect copyright.PENANARhP87BMqwt
708Please respect copyright.PENANApim4dUyN8r
She raises her eyebrow. "Did you plan to have me play for you?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAm0yzJpdzHa
708Please respect copyright.PENANAhoOQUa7V5l
"Babe, I just wanted to give you the full package," I reply, pun unapologetically intended.708Please respect copyright.PENANAamj4zywqfd
708Please respect copyright.PENANAp7EqAtujeo
Her smile broadens. "Glad to know."708Please respect copyright.PENANANB1Lo38CLo
708Please respect copyright.PENANAm6boYAS8lS
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.708Please respect copyright.PENANAtsOhkFqG2t
708Please respect copyright.PENANAp57Qgn7Xm1
"Okay. So, 'Twinkle Twinkle', right?" she asks, and I nod my head enthusiastically.708Please respect copyright.PENANAIKwRGbWkrv
708Please respect copyright.PENANAtl6Rntrszp
Then, she begins.708Please respect copyright.PENANAN0vxzyBn1i
708Please respect copyright.PENANAAit0qf9IN1
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.708Please respect copyright.PENANAutC4o7JNxT
708Please respect copyright.PENANA2rVzBmzK0k
When she turns back to me, she ignores my awed expression, and simply says:708Please respect copyright.PENANAZm17y7LQWN
708Please respect copyright.PENANAcBNrD6dAx4
"It's time to take your temperature again."708Please respect copyright.PENANAeo6sGuYAgc

***708Please respect copyright.PENANA2YVdFOsfAx
708Please respect copyright.PENANAIRtXkR3tDo
"100.1. Better, but still a fever," Evetta says exasperated, sitting on the bed beside me.708Please respect copyright.PENANAgKpHe9RKIJ
708Please respect copyright.PENANAq5Ndg3ALvp
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?708Please respect copyright.PENANAxgf7HJV1gm
708Please respect copyright.PENANAT3aaVXAwaS
I sniff a little more, trying to figure it out. Apparently I'm not as inconspicuous as I thought, because she notices.708Please respect copyright.PENANA4CgsyylmwX
708Please respect copyright.PENANAk7DpNONb0V
"It's my deodorant. It's natural deodorant, and I wiped my armpits with wet wipes and I put it on this morning."708Please respect copyright.PENANArbhn36WIuj
708Please respect copyright.PENANA6qQRs0Tbjm
What the fuck? That's so strange.708Please respect copyright.PENANAkA6vYXWKA3
708Please respect copyright.PENANAVbFfWJQ4XO
"Why?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAR92mlBFaMI
708Please respect copyright.PENANAqkpwfJWN18
"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.708Please respect copyright.PENANA8awcSBMtrc
708Please respect copyright.PENANAnMDHpUt8re
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.708Please respect copyright.PENANACpiRGYc3Gs
708Please respect copyright.PENANAA1ajWhdjYG
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.708Please respect copyright.PENANAEIvHMKfJxY
708Please respect copyright.PENANArc7yxmJZY3
"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.708Please respect copyright.PENANA3ro5WTzQCP
708Please respect copyright.PENANAVaIIv8gdr3
She laughs; it's that warm, bubbly sound again.708Please respect copyright.PENANAnL2chlxYy1
708Please respect copyright.PENANAT5fYHpAGx4
"Try not to eat the bowl."708Please respect copyright.PENANAVPJsexbbmu
708Please respect copyright.PENANARZIsS8mMrq
She sets the trey down on the bed in front of me and goes into the bathroom to bathe.708Please respect copyright.PENANA4tDgOa8USK
708Please respect copyright.PENANAHjyMzxyErI
I look down at the thick, orange liquid, and raise a spoonful to my lips and blow on it before drinking it.708Please respect copyright.PENANAulHv91aHw2
708Please respect copyright.PENANARzjXZ3s3Y6
The taste is amazing; it's as if heaven has been brought down in the form of soup and presented to me.708Please respect copyright.PENANAma3AC1UMIb
708Please respect copyright.PENANAjuU9T4tnUC
However, as I am pulling the spoon out of my mouth, something hits me; something big.708Please respect copyright.PENANAqkJZUZAaSZ
708Please respect copyright.PENANAX6cbD721FN
A memory.708Please respect copyright.PENANA5aKkT9Am4K
708Please respect copyright.PENANAHcldrytL3E
A memory of Evetta feeding me this same dish, literally feeding me with the spoon, a flirtatious smile on her face.708Please respect copyright.PENANA8lEYF8grOS
708Please respect copyright.PENANAE10EVQQyn6
The my reaction.708Please respect copyright.PENANAxwhaqrDBei
708Please respect copyright.PENANATi7OluqCWw
"Holy shit! That's amazing!"708Please respect copyright.PENANAm8YyFmv3JO
708Please respect copyright.PENANAsBLJtEKXMS
"You really think so?"708Please respect copyright.PENANApzjXxZiVnL
708Please respect copyright.PENANAiLE76WbSv2
"Yes, of course, darling." 708Please respect copyright.PENANAC19UVNAHV6
708Please respect copyright.PENANAcQZZPySRtR
After which, we kissed.708Please respect copyright.PENANAMdB4cUQzg1
708Please respect copyright.PENANAoXrJzhI8Qx
Before I know what I'm doing, I walk straight into the bathroom.708Please respect copyright.PENANA6ae8L0UgTx
708Please respect copyright.PENANASqrSwsP02M
"Ah!" she shouts in surprise, completely naked, under the shower.708Please respect copyright.PENANArzrkm9M2a8
708Please respect copyright.PENANAYQxkFQ1bnW
"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.708Please respect copyright.PENANA9IRaSibG4H
708Please respect copyright.PENANAbceucG1rSv
"You what? What did you remember?"708Please respect copyright.PENANA7EFpBtRFMk
708Please respect copyright.PENANAfI9hpybhXp
"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.708Please respect copyright.PENANA68O0hmKnIr
708Please respect copyright.PENANA7mVwe981Sa
"That's amazing, Caleb, I'm so happy! I'd hug you, but I'm wet, and you're sick."708Please respect copyright.PENANABfa4zmDP0o
708Please respect copyright.PENANAqBo1khx2gG
"You're wet?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAPghCB9VHt9
708Please respect copyright.PENANAy2If4VKWcr
"Shut up," she says grinning. 708Please respect copyright.PENANANqh54KxAcu
708Please respect copyright.PENANAvbc0145gDt
"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.708Please respect copyright.PENANAskargJS2WH
