So tell me the name of an idiot who decides to go out in the freezing cold of January London without even a Jacket?542Please respect copyright.PENANAM9RE5eBdUs
542Please respect copyright.PENANA14RZeyl47J
Caleb Fucking Winters, that's who.542Please respect copyright.PENANAFOme13dEKz
542Please respect copyright.PENANAO8iMCWDhzE
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.542Please respect copyright.PENANAtqBwll5eTa
542Please respect copyright.PENANAKjtT70s40E
"104.5. That's still high," she sighs. 542Please respect copyright.PENANALfXk8VDThs
542Please respect copyright.PENANA4rsxOew1xb
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.542Please respect copyright.PENANAtFoD9iwiea
542Please respect copyright.PENANAVmF1FlvPzg
Then, something occurs to me. 542Please respect copyright.PENANAe5NaO5CwzC
542Please respect copyright.PENANAQutuiJslVS
"Aren't you supposed to be at work?"542Please respect copyright.PENANAisFP1e7EXR
542Please respect copyright.PENANALSJT8IF74U
She looks at me as if I'm retarded.542Please respect copyright.PENANAMlQnZ5Pspf
542Please respect copyright.PENANAY5iUpd2UnY
"You're sick."542Please respect copyright.PENANAwTirIJTmrM
542Please respect copyright.PENANAWbJxtSS7Pw
"You have a job."542Please respect copyright.PENANAF4WOOwNNyB
542Please respect copyright.PENANAlyUm2Mssod
"I also have a boyfriend who can't even breathe through his nose."542Please respect copyright.PENANAKvWm04PLpp
542Please respect copyright.PENANAgSAXXGQr9p
"I can take care of myself," I insist, feeling like so many different kinds of shit. "Go to work," I order her. 542Please respect copyright.PENANAUAEntv43a9
542Please respect copyright.PENANACekw2raPG1
"No," she replies.542Please respect copyright.PENANAw2NoI5bp97
542Please respect copyright.PENANAN9JdnHsAnN
"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.542Please respect copyright.PENANAkjViC37K0t
542Please respect copyright.PENANApl8F36c2Wc
"I'd rather not."542Please respect copyright.PENANAUZcEQRtY3h
542Please respect copyright.PENANAw6nLREWezH
I sigh in frustration.542Please respect copyright.PENANAkxkGcp77ce
542Please respect copyright.PENANAh2JS7muzv1
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.542Please respect copyright.PENANA1DDEgzu7fl
542Please respect copyright.PENANAekwrhuifVt
"Stop." 542Please respect copyright.PENANAP8EgZNuZoJ
542Please respect copyright.PENANAkndsffk9AE
"Huh?" I say, at a complete loss as to what she is talking about.542Please respect copyright.PENANAYMC1tlHShR
542Please respect copyright.PENANANbn2atTokh
"Stop blaming yourself. I don't mind missing work to take care of you; I really don't. Please stop being so dramatic."542Please respect copyright.PENANA15tG1RRID2
542Please respect copyright.PENANAPEWvWo0RYO
I nod at her, saying nothing. She sighs.542Please respect copyright.PENANArR0Z2D31gm
542Please respect copyright.PENANA4JfivvmJ37
"Go to sleep, Caleb. You look tired."542Please respect copyright.PENANAXfZEZfJWh5
542Please respect copyright.PENANA5MSve3UuM2
I pretend that I didn't hear her.542Please respect copyright.PENANAkslQ6RuUm5
542Please respect copyright.PENANAa3TrZzLaUP
"I want to hear you play the violin."542Please respect copyright.PENANAQL8NNd4n6Y
542Please respect copyright.PENANA4ai6xgw5Bn
She looks at me surprised.542Please respect copyright.PENANARCQVO0zGuo
542Please respect copyright.PENANAMYGOiF1IDZ
"I haven't played in a while—"542Please respect copyright.PENANAYhOxiZwcT0
542Please respect copyright.PENANABK5Mkjlila
"Then make something up," I say teasingly. She shoots me a glare and I backtrack.542Please respect copyright.PENANAkpL5xH2gZz
542Please respect copyright.PENANAmniTJ4DMqi
"Okay," I say, chuckling. "What about 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'"? 542Please respect copyright.PENANA75d1UImqJ4
542Please respect copyright.PENANAQAp6wrUC0a
She smiles at me.542Please respect copyright.PENANAR4yBqhLqVT
542Please respect copyright.PENANAQDIB3jjDTl
"I would, but I don't have any rosin."542Please respect copyright.PENANAxuJNujy9UC
542Please respect copyright.PENANACXIVYn9Y2Y
"Yes, you do. Look in the bottom of the bag."542Please respect copyright.PENANAXOeiNbP8zz
542Please respect copyright.PENANAL7SRGyL1Zs
She raises her eyebrow. "Did you plan to have me play for you?"542Please respect copyright.PENANAG5EfWtIjDV
542Please respect copyright.PENANAU0wTUJyuBp
"Babe, I just wanted to give you the full package," I reply, pun unapologetically intended.542Please respect copyright.PENANAYwLORhUJh9
542Please respect copyright.PENANA7ht2Qi6bp8
Her smile broadens. "Glad to know."542Please respect copyright.PENANARyd3PCoquL
542Please respect copyright.PENANA4CTxwvm6RF
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.542Please respect copyright.PENANAPofqClW8LY
542Please respect copyright.PENANAgr2PhwRg3A
"Okay. So, 'Twinkle Twinkle', right?" she asks, and I nod my head enthusiastically.542Please respect copyright.PENANAi1MZuBZjXh
542Please respect copyright.PENANAQEsgC4ikip
Then, she begins.542Please respect copyright.PENANAFTQaP92rsj
542Please respect copyright.PENANAcr80P3G2aN
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.542Please respect copyright.PENANA5bsrJuSddw
542Please respect copyright.PENANA017hnawGFG
When she turns back to me, she ignores my awed expression, and simply says:542Please respect copyright.PENANANlrBGUWG1q
542Please respect copyright.PENANAT2HXE9YYE1
"It's time to take your temperature again."542Please respect copyright.PENANA9p3c3FAVS5
542Please respect copyright.PENANAh4SNzH3CgC
***542Please respect copyright.PENANAHsKjDzZw39
542Please respect copyright.PENANAeAxRS1XBjj
"100.1. Better, but still a fever," Evetta says exasperated, sitting on the bed beside me.542Please respect copyright.PENANAyU3X9ypm4I
542Please respect copyright.PENANAnOi7jQwMv9
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?542Please respect copyright.PENANAUuZcaiVYKD
542Please respect copyright.PENANAfRiIBMzJ73
I sniff a little more, trying to figure it out. Apparently I'm not as inconspicuous as I thought, because she notices.542Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZfGP0fjU0
542Please respect copyright.PENANAmhYgpWKT37
"It's my deodorant. It's natural deodorant, and I wiped my armpits with wet wipes and I put it on this morning."542Please respect copyright.PENANAoBuMJgBAKe
542Please respect copyright.PENANAt3P81ABPlz
What the fuck? That's so strange.542Please respect copyright.PENANAMTK0xH8Ayx
542Please respect copyright.PENANAGUxV77CanQ
"Why?"542Please respect copyright.PENANAZcOM5FEu3f
542Please respect copyright.PENANAKmDoVTRW3A
"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.542Please respect copyright.PENANAPd5Ue4sr5w
542Please respect copyright.PENANAU9hkN2dXdU
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.542Please respect copyright.PENANANdsyvvtvrE
542Please respect copyright.PENANAv3ZBEaRiQh
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.542Please respect copyright.PENANA9jlNn7cl4k
542Please respect copyright.PENANAp4EZ9BeO1A
"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.542Please respect copyright.PENANA7Zl4lfjfag
542Please respect copyright.PENANAWcSXUJGwdu
She laughs; it's that warm, bubbly sound again.542Please respect copyright.PENANAusGIftc7N2
542Please respect copyright.PENANAtrjgjDHXjv
"Try not to eat the bowl."542Please respect copyright.PENANA56bhqnX9dT
542Please respect copyright.PENANAVL5fZD5Wec
She sets the trey down on the bed in front of me and goes into the bathroom to bathe.542Please respect copyright.PENANAbDdoFHd2lj
542Please respect copyright.PENANAgZlRnyL3A4
I look down at the thick, orange liquid, and raise a spoonful to my lips and blow on it before drinking it.542Please respect copyright.PENANAjOwYwMqprV
542Please respect copyright.PENANAsDPaeVoevW
The taste is amazing; it's as if heaven has been brought down in the form of soup and presented to me.542Please respect copyright.PENANAX8J58VM66Y
542Please respect copyright.PENANAiJxbDZtTYf
However, as I am pulling the spoon out of my mouth, something hits me; something big.542Please respect copyright.PENANALmVRVodw2t
542Please respect copyright.PENANAl61WYfvOHp
A memory.542Please respect copyright.PENANAC8jw0P5xaK
542Please respect copyright.PENANAcETsZh3zZK
A memory of Evetta feeding me this same dish, literally feeding me with the spoon, a flirtatious smile on her face.542Please respect copyright.PENANAxcDLeLBcEn
542Please respect copyright.PENANAUwbfzMyf7H
The my reaction.542Please respect copyright.PENANAm6Et65eZNG
542Please respect copyright.PENANABohNS8D9Oe
"Holy shit! That's amazing!"542Please respect copyright.PENANAoHwx0X6is9
542Please respect copyright.PENANAH2XoUeBway
"You really think so?"542Please respect copyright.PENANAGH7YDtQYrS
542Please respect copyright.PENANA2spa1lh274
"Yes, of course, darling." 542Please respect copyright.PENANA2ytacv4h3a
542Please respect copyright.PENANAaoTHlUVqMM
After which, we kissed.542Please respect copyright.PENANAaILN5oMydy
542Please respect copyright.PENANAbBDs41aRAb
Before I know what I'm doing, I walk straight into the bathroom.542Please respect copyright.PENANASTHxu9HrkI
542Please respect copyright.PENANAexXrowasUk
"Ah!" she shouts in surprise, completely naked, under the shower.542Please respect copyright.PENANABbQ6S8shC9
542Please respect copyright.PENANAjInlL5UMvt
"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.542Please respect copyright.PENANAYPRMw4MgQe
542Please respect copyright.PENANA3hiPlQVjNZ
"You what? What did you remember?"542Please respect copyright.PENANADwdNofLtjT
542Please respect copyright.PENANAeZ5M0B2PSC
"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.542Please respect copyright.PENANA2mVDrGzI8u
542Please respect copyright.PENANAK0sxnvWjWw
"That's amazing, Caleb, I'm so happy! I'd hug you, but I'm wet, and you're sick."542Please respect copyright.PENANApsnW1vKwPI
542Please respect copyright.PENANALSWNz73D2w
"You're wet?"542Please respect copyright.PENANANxBGXbirPp
542Please respect copyright.PENANARZDKmz4MUz
"Shut up," she says grinning. 542Please respect copyright.PENANAaS7L3gY4IW
542Please respect copyright.PENANA9qjriYaLEI
"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.542Please respect copyright.PENANAwey2zuRaPM
