So tell me the name of an idiot who decides to go out in the freezing cold of January London without even a Jacket?684Please respect copyright.PENANAaPpjvOfSeO
684Please respect copyright.PENANAt14ne8JogE
Caleb Fucking Winters, that's who.684Please respect copyright.PENANAcblJWh42X5
684Please respect copyright.PENANAQCiXf1MJ57
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.684Please respect copyright.PENANAhCXuTc9epE
684Please respect copyright.PENANAN6SDtIOoFR
"104.5. That's still high," she sighs. 684Please respect copyright.PENANAv6XeF41qg8
684Please respect copyright.PENANApniafXU5UO
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.684Please respect copyright.PENANA4uCTyigPt8
684Please respect copyright.PENANAxwc0cMT5Ix
Then, something occurs to me. 684Please respect copyright.PENANA5rHz9Kih5T
684Please respect copyright.PENANAzUVugpVZCX
"Aren't you supposed to be at work?"684Please respect copyright.PENANAg2tJItXZGu
684Please respect copyright.PENANAW83f5iYm1a
She looks at me as if I'm retarded.684Please respect copyright.PENANA64NhvoNBBB
684Please respect copyright.PENANApQxByOQjnj
"You're sick."684Please respect copyright.PENANAeky7fzUfnl
684Please respect copyright.PENANAlm2nLjfRp0
"You have a job."684Please respect copyright.PENANAcPY4Ohmdtm
684Please respect copyright.PENANAInVzKN7YhX
"I also have a boyfriend who can't even breathe through his nose."684Please respect copyright.PENANAGAhrPJos2q
684Please respect copyright.PENANAArLuWEWARy
"I can take care of myself," I insist, feeling like so many different kinds of shit. "Go to work," I order her. 684Please respect copyright.PENANAHZ6XFBT1VC
684Please respect copyright.PENANAiuX6GXDpni
"No," she replies.684Please respect copyright.PENANA1a2onzLg7O
684Please respect copyright.PENANA9dFLzbQVNh
"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.684Please respect copyright.PENANAy6tiZZydx5
684Please respect copyright.PENANAhknwtZmbkJ
"I'd rather not."684Please respect copyright.PENANAbvoSXgqzNd
684Please respect copyright.PENANAwKz95Im3nj
I sigh in frustration.684Please respect copyright.PENANAxJSEbgEDpZ
684Please respect copyright.PENANAyklbMwkfbl
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.684Please respect copyright.PENANAceW5sBeaJX
684Please respect copyright.PENANAKr8agoZZf8
"Stop." 684Please respect copyright.PENANAu0zroNJavK
684Please respect copyright.PENANAzjaKlTZrY5
"Huh?" I say, at a complete loss as to what she is talking about.684Please respect copyright.PENANAHsxTMTxiVW
684Please respect copyright.PENANAfav0LiDpAM
"Stop blaming yourself. I don't mind missing work to take care of you; I really don't. Please stop being so dramatic."684Please respect copyright.PENANAt1Aa11nYiY
684Please respect copyright.PENANAU9OyBBcNTF
I nod at her, saying nothing. She sighs.684Please respect copyright.PENANAEvQ2V4MUcu
684Please respect copyright.PENANAWJDcqzog7C
"Go to sleep, Caleb. You look tired."684Please respect copyright.PENANALFT46sBTh3
684Please respect copyright.PENANAlkmQIA0fu5
I pretend that I didn't hear her.684Please respect copyright.PENANAfTspVuATHZ
684Please respect copyright.PENANA5PQPW2cOZB
"I want to hear you play the violin."684Please respect copyright.PENANADWd0gEullP
684Please respect copyright.PENANAZb60GcUKXK
She looks at me surprised.684Please respect copyright.PENANAJVl9DMxGha
684Please respect copyright.PENANAA2f1DOEhQk
"I haven't played in a while—"684Please respect copyright.PENANAQt190rzfEM
684Please respect copyright.PENANAn46p27X0qn
"Then make something up," I say teasingly. She shoots me a glare and I backtrack.684Please respect copyright.PENANAKegSgfViw8
684Please respect copyright.PENANAZDGkSQAvuc
"Okay," I say, chuckling. "What about 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'"? 684Please respect copyright.PENANALjG1jN0wJv
684Please respect copyright.PENANAo4wVBpCQ62
She smiles at me.684Please respect copyright.PENANAkaD6qfbLY9
684Please respect copyright.PENANArZx5cIURbt
"I would, but I don't have any rosin."684Please respect copyright.PENANAumNidhpChz
684Please respect copyright.PENANAoOOBrK2Pzm
"Yes, you do. Look in the bottom of the bag."684Please respect copyright.PENANA3wNMk06Oew
684Please respect copyright.PENANAk2bip1B3iL
She raises her eyebrow. "Did you plan to have me play for you?"684Please respect copyright.PENANA03mjn7G8KG
684Please respect copyright.PENANA5bktMQvX6s
"Babe, I just wanted to give you the full package," I reply, pun unapologetically intended.684Please respect copyright.PENANAN37GNdgIgo
684Please respect copyright.PENANADiK6i7b7UL
Her smile broadens. "Glad to know."684Please respect copyright.PENANAwS8RNQZE1s
684Please respect copyright.PENANAYBjjWi1pMw
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.684Please respect copyright.PENANAcWw6MD68Se
684Please respect copyright.PENANAu2WsCOR9kl
"Okay. So, 'Twinkle Twinkle', right?" she asks, and I nod my head enthusiastically.684Please respect copyright.PENANA6cLyQ0lMBd
684Please respect copyright.PENANAoZW0ekbINA
Then, she begins.684Please respect copyright.PENANAARgEoSlvvU
684Please respect copyright.PENANAzUQLc0fs3E
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.684Please respect copyright.PENANA4UWPZ7JdXf
684Please respect copyright.PENANAMHZS38BXrT
When she turns back to me, she ignores my awed expression, and simply says:684Please respect copyright.PENANAyEjRa4nMBJ
684Please respect copyright.PENANAdmb06RL0ZV
"It's time to take your temperature again."684Please respect copyright.PENANAcBihgRFIM1
684Please respect copyright.PENANAgcIydOLogz
***684Please respect copyright.PENANAkvCfL0FY8F
684Please respect copyright.PENANAxNhzmtvX4x
"100.1. Better, but still a fever," Evetta says exasperated, sitting on the bed beside me.684Please respect copyright.PENANACBFbJwqRQt
684Please respect copyright.PENANA9u3XI06frs
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?684Please respect copyright.PENANAWtoG7s0AgB
684Please respect copyright.PENANAhGXQUQveDI
I sniff a little more, trying to figure it out. Apparently I'm not as inconspicuous as I thought, because she notices.684Please respect copyright.PENANAAsLoZU13xv
684Please respect copyright.PENANAIs7nlBz12Q
"It's my deodorant. It's natural deodorant, and I wiped my armpits with wet wipes and I put it on this morning."684Please respect copyright.PENANA1BpYdfxCqP
684Please respect copyright.PENANAhOUGg1dyhi
What the fuck? That's so strange.684Please respect copyright.PENANA8ynPDSYCzL
684Please respect copyright.PENANA8ySDFPxapo
"Why?"684Please respect copyright.PENANAjQlwjlfGhZ
684Please respect copyright.PENANAOgt6PXYkI0
"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.684Please respect copyright.PENANA5z57Lq4zSI
684Please respect copyright.PENANACLL6ruQVAN
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.684Please respect copyright.PENANAH8DUHqjrUp
684Please respect copyright.PENANAIE17MvQ1DJ
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.684Please respect copyright.PENANA8TAJFHbMGB
684Please respect copyright.PENANAEUSqrUQWi0
"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.684Please respect copyright.PENANA7UQDOEBX4G
684Please respect copyright.PENANAsQnHVTkEyP
She laughs; it's that warm, bubbly sound again.684Please respect copyright.PENANALAaMKJqbXA
684Please respect copyright.PENANAXvmXFHOtPf
"Try not to eat the bowl."684Please respect copyright.PENANAFgC47IdSdJ
684Please respect copyright.PENANAv5yPv6ziwN
She sets the trey down on the bed in front of me and goes into the bathroom to bathe.684Please respect copyright.PENANA79YYpUtZz2
684Please respect copyright.PENANAopArkRuFXe
I look down at the thick, orange liquid, and raise a spoonful to my lips and blow on it before drinking it.684Please respect copyright.PENANADzd2HhsmGI
684Please respect copyright.PENANACza3PDuVaA
The taste is amazing; it's as if heaven has been brought down in the form of soup and presented to me.684Please respect copyright.PENANA7hvQbAxJbN
684Please respect copyright.PENANAAnnfeRwav5
However, as I am pulling the spoon out of my mouth, something hits me; something big.684Please respect copyright.PENANAF2XOZoveVB
684Please respect copyright.PENANASicaA9thOq
A memory.684Please respect copyright.PENANATk8W86V0XB
684Please respect copyright.PENANA17voAizujb
A memory of Evetta feeding me this same dish, literally feeding me with the spoon, a flirtatious smile on her face.684Please respect copyright.PENANAQST9S1iYhB
684Please respect copyright.PENANA0gEuurW1ru
The my reaction.684Please respect copyright.PENANA3HZUvOPp8b
684Please respect copyright.PENANAO7QYHKXZrh
"Holy shit! That's amazing!"684Please respect copyright.PENANAJI6tnLdK9T
684Please respect copyright.PENANANaObqC3fLi
"You really think so?"684Please respect copyright.PENANA62Up6x0GBn
684Please respect copyright.PENANAuAqy41SpBj
"Yes, of course, darling." 684Please respect copyright.PENANAyrl1vyUe6Z
684Please respect copyright.PENANA2U0EhdBGt6
After which, we kissed.684Please respect copyright.PENANAhBWE1RiT1s
684Please respect copyright.PENANA8sLTR8MSqn
Before I know what I'm doing, I walk straight into the bathroom.684Please respect copyright.PENANAWWhu9yP21k
684Please respect copyright.PENANAT5seTsTMwh
"Ah!" she shouts in surprise, completely naked, under the shower.684Please respect copyright.PENANASli8WtHNYE
684Please respect copyright.PENANAwd0Tu4cgFK
"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.684Please respect copyright.PENANAbVXicrCeTx
684Please respect copyright.PENANAn8asFUQvZy
"You what? What did you remember?"684Please respect copyright.PENANAZyxbmoGmEl
684Please respect copyright.PENANAKt1Pf7QRQf
"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.684Please respect copyright.PENANAXh8iaB5Tfm
684Please respect copyright.PENANAOZQidRlivc
"That's amazing, Caleb, I'm so happy! I'd hug you, but I'm wet, and you're sick."684Please respect copyright.PENANAONPaASecQM
684Please respect copyright.PENANA5Po2IUC3gc
"You're wet?"684Please respect copyright.PENANA1APU0sm1eS
684Please respect copyright.PENANANFEiCWfpEh
"Shut up," she says grinning. 684Please respect copyright.PENANA18wUr6Jaqi
684Please respect copyright.PENANAxgrYrhNM7X
"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.684Please respect copyright.PENANAT4uItDke7x
