So tell me the name of an idiot who decides to go out in the freezing cold of January London without even a Jacket?736Please respect copyright.PENANATrkGfxhhIS
736Please respect copyright.PENANAVlC8koYQde
Caleb Fucking Winters, that's who.736Please respect copyright.PENANAXKfvkYN1Iz
736Please respect copyright.PENANABb8eS3Aidc
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.736Please respect copyright.PENANAuTdn3HTLqf
736Please respect copyright.PENANALdHS1m41rI
"104.5. That's still high," she sighs. 736Please respect copyright.PENANAhFMMWpprEw
736Please respect copyright.PENANAC1Nal8IOY5
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.736Please respect copyright.PENANAO4EAtVw636
736Please respect copyright.PENANAppJfPYdA19
Then, something occurs to me. 736Please respect copyright.PENANAwHR9tJoOHT
736Please respect copyright.PENANA75E3OKvrX5
"Aren't you supposed to be at work?"736Please respect copyright.PENANA7y89b7uBEB
736Please respect copyright.PENANAiARX2GGt2f
She looks at me as if I'm retarded.736Please respect copyright.PENANAJZ3N8oZFcT
736Please respect copyright.PENANAupGyMbmX2h
"You're sick."736Please respect copyright.PENANAuGcbKaLeaP
736Please respect copyright.PENANAYVZ8UYXtw7
"You have a job."736Please respect copyright.PENANAknRCD9h3NG
736Please respect copyright.PENANAUNl0x3AxbV
"I also have a boyfriend who can't even breathe through his nose."736Please respect copyright.PENANAvxzkmbV3If
736Please respect copyright.PENANAyMNGKxVV08
"I can take care of myself," I insist, feeling like so many different kinds of shit. "Go to work," I order her. 736Please respect copyright.PENANA069PYOt5a9
736Please respect copyright.PENANATa6sPSbODm
"No," she replies.736Please respect copyright.PENANAPdLSgdSEkT
736Please respect copyright.PENANAi5689yPzaA
"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.736Please respect copyright.PENANAdySJC0NyjN
736Please respect copyright.PENANATaPbebA8Uu
"I'd rather not."736Please respect copyright.PENANAdmnu2AsIGW
736Please respect copyright.PENANA4DronbchtZ
I sigh in frustration.736Please respect copyright.PENANA0a6LPrWopK
736Please respect copyright.PENANApvgxIZ4Wb6
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.736Please respect copyright.PENANAKOZqBPNNC7
736Please respect copyright.PENANArBjYTW9OzE
"Stop." 736Please respect copyright.PENANAdIBoZhZO4k
736Please respect copyright.PENANAVXDtwGTIPc
"Huh?" I say, at a complete loss as to what she is talking about.736Please respect copyright.PENANAvQsSSabfgp
736Please respect copyright.PENANAdRqcVwXu9L
"Stop blaming yourself. I don't mind missing work to take care of you; I really don't. Please stop being so dramatic."736Please respect copyright.PENANAc8ARv7D5Iz
736Please respect copyright.PENANA0YmJGxh3Cl
I nod at her, saying nothing. She sighs.736Please respect copyright.PENANAR7raxqO1gH
736Please respect copyright.PENANANb2o1hIGwF
"Go to sleep, Caleb. You look tired."736Please respect copyright.PENANAR1XadVtOB4
736Please respect copyright.PENANAKT6bCH11tA
I pretend that I didn't hear her.736Please respect copyright.PENANANHkl69gbHe
736Please respect copyright.PENANAGVMtScgOtZ
"I want to hear you play the violin."736Please respect copyright.PENANAqKjrKxectx
736Please respect copyright.PENANAlkToZbfeWc
She looks at me surprised.736Please respect copyright.PENANAiMc7eix9IS
736Please respect copyright.PENANAmR2QwCMWbj
"I haven't played in a while—"736Please respect copyright.PENANAInBAGP4JpR
736Please respect copyright.PENANAalUfNR1Dln
"Then make something up," I say teasingly. She shoots me a glare and I backtrack.736Please respect copyright.PENANA12L9JchrCq
736Please respect copyright.PENANAkhTsyM7gK0
"Okay," I say, chuckling. "What about 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'"? 736Please respect copyright.PENANAcWcMPQagBN
736Please respect copyright.PENANAQRFu6yKig4
She smiles at me.736Please respect copyright.PENANA5WWJE1mS2K
736Please respect copyright.PENANAVbj89Vgr00
"I would, but I don't have any rosin."736Please respect copyright.PENANAF4PJi15ixf
736Please respect copyright.PENANAvBTGY6tB4L
"Yes, you do. Look in the bottom of the bag."736Please respect copyright.PENANA3A48sDCIhO
736Please respect copyright.PENANAd3c9hMzBqs
She raises her eyebrow. "Did you plan to have me play for you?"736Please respect copyright.PENANAXv4GTt2Dre
736Please respect copyright.PENANA9rF4V4Ag9M
"Babe, I just wanted to give you the full package," I reply, pun unapologetically intended.736Please respect copyright.PENANALZjTIOPBvb
736Please respect copyright.PENANA0LgFdOWxEu
Her smile broadens. "Glad to know."736Please respect copyright.PENANAK0wTvh1KY3
736Please respect copyright.PENANAGwTTwioFGU
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.736Please respect copyright.PENANATjlXM01CY0
736Please respect copyright.PENANAjRhhGDQ52F
"Okay. So, 'Twinkle Twinkle', right?" she asks, and I nod my head enthusiastically.736Please respect copyright.PENANAMrfPpBqnoQ
736Please respect copyright.PENANAa87ufe8Q4X
Then, she begins.736Please respect copyright.PENANAxO17lCsgP8
736Please respect copyright.PENANAcAg0MBdbfB
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.736Please respect copyright.PENANACOLg5iXuMQ
736Please respect copyright.PENANAsv05yYmoTH
When she turns back to me, she ignores my awed expression, and simply says:736Please respect copyright.PENANAHdOKtNEqJi
736Please respect copyright.PENANAB0tQ8y1kDy
"It's time to take your temperature again."736Please respect copyright.PENANAbuVLIEM45C
736Please respect copyright.PENANAN0j7DxGhwU
***736Please respect copyright.PENANA223yFFEfsE
736Please respect copyright.PENANAWNZJ4KUTbe
"100.1. Better, but still a fever," Evetta says exasperated, sitting on the bed beside me.736Please respect copyright.PENANAs6YIAP68p3
736Please respect copyright.PENANA9BYA6FACvI
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?736Please respect copyright.PENANAVnLg7WmD1r
736Please respect copyright.PENANAhOeaS10fYw
I sniff a little more, trying to figure it out. Apparently I'm not as inconspicuous as I thought, because she notices.736Please respect copyright.PENANASKPrfmltCi
736Please respect copyright.PENANAk1WJL2xfp6
"It's my deodorant. It's natural deodorant, and I wiped my armpits with wet wipes and I put it on this morning."736Please respect copyright.PENANALVNvidNKst
736Please respect copyright.PENANAJgWFe3GkIj
What the fuck? That's so strange.736Please respect copyright.PENANA1wqhDCDXQM
736Please respect copyright.PENANAkic4rklPxG
"Why?"736Please respect copyright.PENANAQzULwTsLBu
736Please respect copyright.PENANAQ06ggK7H3N
"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.736Please respect copyright.PENANAR9OtLOTT5X
736Please respect copyright.PENANAe0S9PB0Qp6
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.736Please respect copyright.PENANAx12ILIyqiI
736Please respect copyright.PENANAXlRKbsY5h1
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.736Please respect copyright.PENANAcfgIjLQPA3
736Please respect copyright.PENANACvjJPzTOdl
"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.736Please respect copyright.PENANAxUKn50bD3x
736Please respect copyright.PENANA1QMsuxJqpg
She laughs; it's that warm, bubbly sound again.736Please respect copyright.PENANAUXZhCvZioC
736Please respect copyright.PENANAuh9x3xdQ0M
"Try not to eat the bowl."736Please respect copyright.PENANA4WZKWExZ2N
736Please respect copyright.PENANAuDIo68ZQxB
She sets the trey down on the bed in front of me and goes into the bathroom to bathe.736Please respect copyright.PENANAmqfw8h6TnL
736Please respect copyright.PENANAHYpsp5Avs2
I look down at the thick, orange liquid, and raise a spoonful to my lips and blow on it before drinking it.736Please respect copyright.PENANAQSzmh7y9eS
736Please respect copyright.PENANAvCnZWaNNIw
The taste is amazing; it's as if heaven has been brought down in the form of soup and presented to me.736Please respect copyright.PENANApBcregQmGZ
736Please respect copyright.PENANA7boenzAnLl
However, as I am pulling the spoon out of my mouth, something hits me; something big.736Please respect copyright.PENANASgJPDxU6s0
736Please respect copyright.PENANAtdwczFRdqU
A memory.736Please respect copyright.PENANAmmypVruYr7
736Please respect copyright.PENANA4gwMU9svJ6
A memory of Evetta feeding me this same dish, literally feeding me with the spoon, a flirtatious smile on her face.736Please respect copyright.PENANABih6Hultu5
736Please respect copyright.PENANA1DE64f6le9
The my reaction.736Please respect copyright.PENANAXcdWgO4QIY
736Please respect copyright.PENANA0XklHnXf3S
"Holy shit! That's amazing!"736Please respect copyright.PENANAa7E03eFf3A
736Please respect copyright.PENANASadfG3AJlB
"You really think so?"736Please respect copyright.PENANAcFKopNxLVr
736Please respect copyright.PENANA8Svc9UrX4O
"Yes, of course, darling." 736Please respect copyright.PENANAbRBAe6VE0n
736Please respect copyright.PENANALLlRzrLj4r
After which, we kissed.736Please respect copyright.PENANA2VRyUvvX3B
736Please respect copyright.PENANAgC38XjNV4D
Before I know what I'm doing, I walk straight into the bathroom.736Please respect copyright.PENANAZOakgVfW0F
736Please respect copyright.PENANAVk7Fz17Dra
"Ah!" she shouts in surprise, completely naked, under the shower.736Please respect copyright.PENANAht2saQnOtd
736Please respect copyright.PENANA0XruBbeHd1
"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.736Please respect copyright.PENANAQicKGrpQJj
736Please respect copyright.PENANAf6rPDV1iBT
"You what? What did you remember?"736Please respect copyright.PENANAigy0FIvWec
736Please respect copyright.PENANAn30mdWh5dT
"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.736Please respect copyright.PENANA4j2CyERmA3
736Please respect copyright.PENANAY0WIv8op7M
"That's amazing, Caleb, I'm so happy! I'd hug you, but I'm wet, and you're sick."736Please respect copyright.PENANA8X1ph0arK0
736Please respect copyright.PENANAPVINE87fok
"You're wet?"736Please respect copyright.PENANAY3fUK90pz6
736Please respect copyright.PENANAPGgEIStKKq
"Shut up," she says grinning. 736Please respect copyright.PENANA7iLPgzUuXC
736Please respect copyright.PENANAZD8Vib8xKw
"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.736Please respect copyright.PENANA7QO2g8wvTI
