So tell me the name of an idiot who decides to go out in the freezing cold of January London without even a Jacket?730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMCLGanBn2
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgazp8sEPZ
Caleb Fucking Winters, that's who.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PUYDGXoO8
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq5mXNEyT4
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.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuVzok1gYS
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NnO6EABwI
"104.5. That's still high," she sighs. 730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCAsESCysn
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5SsbYUiId
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.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY78x830el
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaPmveyyMb
Then, something occurs to me. 730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeSRFoldpx
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjdDbqqQds
"Aren't you supposed to be at work?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqEZ5W6xs2
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3Isus5dIB
She looks at me as if I'm retarded.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxNbqARtK0
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNM2U170w6
"You're sick."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk4Kfbu4IY
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSS63Th9Ix
"You have a job."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpKYqAkkid

"I also have a boyfriend who can't even breathe through his nose."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7cCTCf5rD
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK9CcYkaGC
"I can take care of myself," I insist, feeling like so many different kinds of shit. "Go to work," I order her. 730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak9MIF1dFz
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2Qvu9ySbY
"No," she replies.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmr5yoVMj8
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOknb4n9izZ
"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.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78iv9OHySt
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPwaJL5DrL
"I'd rather not."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY90cVfSbi
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6DGpHTbdE
I sigh in frustration.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KA0ukqTWQ
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1y5Gehcug
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.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UKBHIO5Ag
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvs30WILcf
"Stop." 730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPJimyD20O
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tHatj6uyC
"Huh?" I say, at a complete loss as to what she is talking about.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L9vQ3cd9N
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntPLuCNqfc
"Stop blaming yourself. I don't mind missing work to take care of you; I really don't. Please stop being so dramatic."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvEgWt41xR
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHZa9mWeni
I nod at her, saying nothing. She sighs.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblQ4eb6dMr
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdIlQdp23o
"Go to sleep, Caleb. You look tired."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJyIAMHE4l
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxeLqpGPRQ
I pretend that I didn't hear her.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaNwahJr5f
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxnE2GinXo
"I want to hear you play the violin."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHLZoN7LIW
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vhKmHInJX
She looks at me surprised.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpqc87RCKh
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuc7nMzvQ4
"I haven't played in a while—"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡullfVLr4ZD
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS4DPHcg3U
"Then make something up," I say teasingly. She shoots me a glare and I backtrack.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GdIxIJFHe
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEDSOlBu3f
"Okay," I say, chuckling. "What about 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'"? 730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BuRdVKvwo
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMlatCn3XA
She smiles at me.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFC8EQeSFJ
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xDI2NNeau
"I would, but I don't have any rosin."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtSFaGlUPZ
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOnC9jlwei
"Yes, you do. Look in the bottom of the bag."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAdbqW7wkT
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlpiJTf3yU
She raises her eyebrow. "Did you plan to have me play for you?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnf97efyWa
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5oWskYmZ3
"Babe, I just wanted to give you the full package," I reply, pun unapologetically intended.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazBhdtKjdk
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2WGGw7laZ
Her smile broadens. "Glad to know."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWLwFERSSd
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmkD9jdy7c
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.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1mAhuT0RH
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnQJ7hvrHs
"Okay. So, 'Twinkle Twinkle', right?" she asks, and I nod my head enthusiastically.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ8oJQQOVe
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm0M2FczWQ
Then, she begins.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJEbZv8R3j
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5x6MhCfmG
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.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe9Pc0o8ei
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSTqa95jwU
When she turns back to me, she ignores my awed expression, and simply says:730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDxgRRLWx0
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaTZfIbWqC
"It's time to take your temperature again."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMX9ZeKsaj

730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5D0ceM9yO
"100.1. Better, but still a fever," Evetta says exasperated, sitting on the bed beside me.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR68k2vBQW
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DUEsc4lhL
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?730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT47iXT6g0Z
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJpV0I3oDj
I sniff a little more, trying to figure it out. Apparently I'm not as inconspicuous as I thought, because she notices.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CjpX8f4qq
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hOaThoYs1
"It's my deodorant. It's natural deodorant, and I wiped my armpits with wet wipes and I put it on this morning."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxuBfnq95Y
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZRyE8WWkf
What the fuck? That's so strange.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw8qoVHIuT
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmxCmhdr6Y
"Why?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlbojV8ihf
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwnKwTWZfr
"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.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ7M6yyPI7
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKkGLKXyYO
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.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxiKkmqTft
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIHeYgxuT4
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.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3JUYiwmPj
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bWfKfnNNx
"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.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8DeD63Nmt
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vBDJl6hz9
She laughs; it's that warm, bubbly sound again.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT36f7OnkcG
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsst7msxrGp
"Try not to eat the bowl."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckVILMLovX
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wqXxffkao
She sets the trey down on the bed in front of me and goes into the bathroom to bathe.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSJIqPLAOH
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWc9jbT311
I look down at the thick, orange liquid, and raise a spoonful to my lips and blow on it before drinking it.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3bUYPGql1
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx9T4wDxDO
The taste is amazing; it's as if heaven has been brought down in the form of soup and presented to me.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbWOyo9XU4
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPslyzxwCzC
However, as I am pulling the spoon out of my mouth, something hits me; something big.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJiNsRgTlJ
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgjOayL2jz
A memory.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR8cOgOF8o
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB0I7pEDj9
A memory of Evetta feeding me this same dish, literally feeding me with the spoon, a flirtatious smile on her face.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqmMsmSSt1
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEszkfkZwhM
The my reaction.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMePj8K6G6
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxPun4beXa
"Holy shit! That's amazing!"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7RZQgO7hA

"You really think so?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOPsGcjq9l
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJdIAFJInk
"Yes, of course, darling." 730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCiK213EaU
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG62oNPKS3
After which, we kissed.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2f160evPK
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6aIrpCao1
Before I know what I'm doing, I walk straight into the bathroom.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PhfskY9vB
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEriLZJzAd
"Ah!" she shouts in surprise, completely naked, under the shower.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h1P5fifcZ
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jysthBWP3
"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.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc7IPg43LV
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQn1q5283O
"You what? What did you remember?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRojZJ7WbA
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaVLTyKAV4
"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.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Bjf72lmHi
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQjmJDTaMk
"That's amazing, Caleb, I'm so happy! I'd hug you, but I'm wet, and you're sick."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcECwN9gKoe
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxZ2as9mNA
"You're wet?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnwK7ExG5U

"Shut up," she says grinning. 730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKE2cODsJR
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BllKEp34i
"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.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQWYH35agM
