So tell me the name of an idiot who decides to go out in the freezing cold of January London without even a Jacket?532Please respect copyright.PENANAZkZZ0KQBqw
532Please respect copyright.PENANAGVdbjORkhi
Caleb Fucking Winters, that's who.532Please respect copyright.PENANAGKT6XrSIHW
532Please respect copyright.PENANAMRYxuXBdV5
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAxo7c7ZhQDb
532Please respect copyright.PENANAewe2Sg6Qf1
"104.5. That's still high," she sighs. 532Please respect copyright.PENANAia2J5DxmjN
532Please respect copyright.PENANAYs6caYlyqh
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANA7oaBEtj7hm
532Please respect copyright.PENANAOEXOGrargh
Then, something occurs to me. 532Please respect copyright.PENANAh9MxDA9Bga
532Please respect copyright.PENANAUN4DLzOB0B
"Aren't you supposed to be at work?"532Please respect copyright.PENANA1FyaFCnpyj
532Please respect copyright.PENANACwbJUL9JSx
She looks at me as if I'm retarded.532Please respect copyright.PENANAeRhbd4Giid
532Please respect copyright.PENANA7tio61zq7I
"You're sick."532Please respect copyright.PENANAVNutqtcXGQ
532Please respect copyright.PENANAd3sjVNbgcf
"You have a job."532Please respect copyright.PENANABuSF1KIdVR
532Please respect copyright.PENANADBEMVaxBmQ
"I also have a boyfriend who can't even breathe through his nose."532Please respect copyright.PENANAShMDdMI6yy
532Please respect copyright.PENANA4ex22cCXIB
"I can take care of myself," I insist, feeling like so many different kinds of shit. "Go to work," I order her. 532Please respect copyright.PENANAL5XAOTQl6F
532Please respect copyright.PENANAOsPDMzEDe8
"No," she replies.532Please respect copyright.PENANAcHApKVeCAD
532Please respect copyright.PENANABMbrHGTA7k
"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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAkgfCqmCJGJ
532Please respect copyright.PENANA39PIEzWfoH
"I'd rather not."532Please respect copyright.PENANAW4JAH3mj9x
532Please respect copyright.PENANAViaz63Cc67
I sigh in frustration.532Please respect copyright.PENANAYo3HzVzT67
532Please respect copyright.PENANAK1R8qRgWdq
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAU6GeDVabcL
532Please respect copyright.PENANAesPJX01TVv
"Stop." 532Please respect copyright.PENANAySAh0Q5PJd
532Please respect copyright.PENANAVDLj7mk17R
"Huh?" I say, at a complete loss as to what she is talking about.532Please respect copyright.PENANACxTllzlDxy
532Please respect copyright.PENANA2MGGvHeJ1Z
"Stop blaming yourself. I don't mind missing work to take care of you; I really don't. Please stop being so dramatic."532Please respect copyright.PENANAraHpWMOA4H
532Please respect copyright.PENANAhMLXHNRrNh
I nod at her, saying nothing. She sighs.532Please respect copyright.PENANATM0NNOBsHx
532Please respect copyright.PENANAOW6XkN2qoD
"Go to sleep, Caleb. You look tired."532Please respect copyright.PENANAE3bovq45z6
532Please respect copyright.PENANAAv52E2UyxC
I pretend that I didn't hear her.532Please respect copyright.PENANAEhm8HbcoYV
532Please respect copyright.PENANAij9Ogjjjw4
"I want to hear you play the violin."532Please respect copyright.PENANAn9dXPJbHSD
532Please respect copyright.PENANAnIbJtq7tRY
She looks at me surprised.532Please respect copyright.PENANADKweah3a59
532Please respect copyright.PENANAvVwBjkpNZt
"I haven't played in a while—"532Please respect copyright.PENANAkr9LsajAhU
532Please respect copyright.PENANAZhkoCyY069
"Then make something up," I say teasingly. She shoots me a glare and I backtrack.532Please respect copyright.PENANA1ygqBdJW3Z
532Please respect copyright.PENANAt5h2wvRqgm
"Okay," I say, chuckling. "What about 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'"? 532Please respect copyright.PENANA6fSCl18EaA
532Please respect copyright.PENANAW7V7ycTxRE
She smiles at me.532Please respect copyright.PENANA0QSQnODL5a
532Please respect copyright.PENANAaE7wQibKG1
"I would, but I don't have any rosin."532Please respect copyright.PENANARyQ7xvIFI6
532Please respect copyright.PENANAfp5oYP4eU3
"Yes, you do. Look in the bottom of the bag."532Please respect copyright.PENANAz32pWDDDtJ
532Please respect copyright.PENANAIVGLqjjrWx
She raises her eyebrow. "Did you plan to have me play for you?"532Please respect copyright.PENANANxN8IKg2uY
532Please respect copyright.PENANAexlEs9goQ8
"Babe, I just wanted to give you the full package," I reply, pun unapologetically intended.532Please respect copyright.PENANA9k5nBCcP2K
532Please respect copyright.PENANAX8vtop97ZR
Her smile broadens. "Glad to know."532Please respect copyright.PENANAyb1rTsnyat
532Please respect copyright.PENANAq50r6qX5d4
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAumOQ6wtibr
532Please respect copyright.PENANASlNknG1Hfc
"Okay. So, 'Twinkle Twinkle', right?" she asks, and I nod my head enthusiastically.532Please respect copyright.PENANAHtBezXIY6j
532Please respect copyright.PENANAxkuoRps0bt
Then, she begins.532Please respect copyright.PENANA9c14XHPltO
532Please respect copyright.PENANAQcDzptUDaH
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAGZTigmNdAZ
532Please respect copyright.PENANArAHwuF74Wr
When she turns back to me, she ignores my awed expression, and simply says:532Please respect copyright.PENANAd4uPfFZnhK
532Please respect copyright.PENANAyHwj9NK8Ae
"It's time to take your temperature again."532Please respect copyright.PENANAxkmrshvsrU
532Please respect copyright.PENANA4cuCHYC1M4
***532Please respect copyright.PENANAtGQznHHa9N
532Please respect copyright.PENANAiQWXjeC34E
"100.1. Better, but still a fever," Evetta says exasperated, sitting on the bed beside me.532Please respect copyright.PENANAhZaU64K2BQ
532Please respect copyright.PENANANcXxd0H12m
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?532Please respect copyright.PENANAVPnBzfIyDe
532Please respect copyright.PENANAaLylpVIHVV
I sniff a little more, trying to figure it out. Apparently I'm not as inconspicuous as I thought, because she notices.532Please respect copyright.PENANAeGk0tAe8IF
532Please respect copyright.PENANATMV4zT7OCv
"It's my deodorant. It's natural deodorant, and I wiped my armpits with wet wipes and I put it on this morning."532Please respect copyright.PENANAqCDNGoUv8w
532Please respect copyright.PENANAknY1S84wbx
What the fuck? That's so strange.532Please respect copyright.PENANAGnLKPmKovt
532Please respect copyright.PENANAPdvpZ4s3C2
"Why?"532Please respect copyright.PENANAPNLTFmPlRN
532Please respect copyright.PENANAqBTdZRvrOR
"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.532Please respect copyright.PENANARB2sMa0i4S
532Please respect copyright.PENANAAYu0GyZp0E
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAKpJUEVMcjS
532Please respect copyright.PENANAUQZzQfzj3o
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAGqlVWedDk5
532Please respect copyright.PENANACD0JG9nirL
"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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAcRgM8aaAie
532Please respect copyright.PENANAqyaZuF6NRq
She laughs; it's that warm, bubbly sound again.532Please respect copyright.PENANAUueCtlQ9Ea
532Please respect copyright.PENANAkGw87bXqec
"Try not to eat the bowl."532Please respect copyright.PENANAuuMvZiytPX
532Please respect copyright.PENANAoses84ErbW
She sets the trey down on the bed in front of me and goes into the bathroom to bathe.532Please respect copyright.PENANAjOpkAWpLSf
532Please respect copyright.PENANAGYWqVljs18
I look down at the thick, orange liquid, and raise a spoonful to my lips and blow on it before drinking it.532Please respect copyright.PENANAaHLkTKEj2x
532Please respect copyright.PENANAOXOrA8lP16
The taste is amazing; it's as if heaven has been brought down in the form of soup and presented to me.532Please respect copyright.PENANA6XO6SyrIaD
532Please respect copyright.PENANAiM7ion8ilv
However, as I am pulling the spoon out of my mouth, something hits me; something big.532Please respect copyright.PENANAlV3cqNeM7N
532Please respect copyright.PENANAmZODkGt9Tz
A memory.532Please respect copyright.PENANAF9xGKJAV0I
532Please respect copyright.PENANA09hQdFnsUo
A memory of Evetta feeding me this same dish, literally feeding me with the spoon, a flirtatious smile on her face.532Please respect copyright.PENANAjWLFo2JWDH
532Please respect copyright.PENANANQNGAGCMrU
The my reaction.532Please respect copyright.PENANA9P90XsjQor
532Please respect copyright.PENANAOIXAZDNMjO
"Holy shit! That's amazing!"532Please respect copyright.PENANA42ic6amEDT
532Please respect copyright.PENANARz5dyZrdEh
"You really think so?"532Please respect copyright.PENANAnon8vuKG4F
532Please respect copyright.PENANAlbbSOdfNJL
"Yes, of course, darling." 532Please respect copyright.PENANAGZ0LrUJ8al
532Please respect copyright.PENANAz0rrkbwOzg
After which, we kissed.532Please respect copyright.PENANA88QpPRK8Wm
532Please respect copyright.PENANAAA3hDr6WCF
Before I know what I'm doing, I walk straight into the bathroom.532Please respect copyright.PENANAPrUqg6rljh
532Please respect copyright.PENANApyZbGOuM9y
"Ah!" she shouts in surprise, completely naked, under the shower.532Please respect copyright.PENANAducJ4xjbAQ
532Please respect copyright.PENANAayq0AmNtYg
"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.532Please respect copyright.PENANALroa3lnbtC
532Please respect copyright.PENANAPJchOAkPO4
"You what? What did you remember?"532Please respect copyright.PENANAeNqPSYZjZX
532Please respect copyright.PENANALsX8V4S6Ik
"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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAjfwHZOMpEq
532Please respect copyright.PENANAO8nbX5bzjs
"That's amazing, Caleb, I'm so happy! I'd hug you, but I'm wet, and you're sick."532Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0YPx5ysYC
532Please respect copyright.PENANAFabfpUsrqD
"You're wet?"532Please respect copyright.PENANAYJ4jW9EcV7
532Please respect copyright.PENANA8wtXaeevxb
"Shut up," she says grinning. 532Please respect copyright.PENANAXma1nzmd2N
532Please respect copyright.PENANArTCjvMIuLr
"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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAYQTddtUX7T
