So tell me the name of an idiot who decides to go out in the freezing cold of January London without even a Jacket?682Please respect copyright.PENANAjBeNkRL3YN
682Please respect copyright.PENANAM9Qet1TOiX
Caleb Fucking Winters, that's who.682Please respect copyright.PENANA4NJoru4XU1
682Please respect copyright.PENANAHIQHEqi6Mk
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.682Please respect copyright.PENANAhHIXDFfFOf
682Please respect copyright.PENANAqv58SKk295
"104.5. That's still high," she sighs. 682Please respect copyright.PENANAIuR0aHZN3B
682Please respect copyright.PENANAbdQauwlGjE
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.682Please respect copyright.PENANAiBGPnmXwZn
682Please respect copyright.PENANAIbQDIdwGmv
Then, something occurs to me. 682Please respect copyright.PENANALRq4hgxcdQ
682Please respect copyright.PENANASvc7CAVbYx
"Aren't you supposed to be at work?"682Please respect copyright.PENANAbCwcDCPGXo
682Please respect copyright.PENANA0bc9Vz5Boo
She looks at me as if I'm retarded.682Please respect copyright.PENANA9GVJhZ8lnq
682Please respect copyright.PENANAmsyWgmOMxm
"You're sick."682Please respect copyright.PENANAA1mGmDxeIn
682Please respect copyright.PENANAHJ4BMY2aKA
"You have a job."682Please respect copyright.PENANAbA7jfD5UVk
682Please respect copyright.PENANAVsjP7GwajU
"I also have a boyfriend who can't even breathe through his nose."682Please respect copyright.PENANAtju5X0f4kD
682Please respect copyright.PENANAayRiwDJiWR
"I can take care of myself," I insist, feeling like so many different kinds of shit. "Go to work," I order her. 682Please respect copyright.PENANAagWCFDEcf3
682Please respect copyright.PENANA90vRap4rkR
"No," she replies.682Please respect copyright.PENANADXi883Riky
682Please respect copyright.PENANAmO1e8JLI8o
"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.682Please respect copyright.PENANAJqvp5dK2JA
682Please respect copyright.PENANAjAEevGuClX
"I'd rather not."682Please respect copyright.PENANA8u5CzNV9xn
682Please respect copyright.PENANAk5zkWDnYAr
I sigh in frustration.682Please respect copyright.PENANAlNCnSdekBv
682Please respect copyright.PENANAGI2xDtmowW
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.682Please respect copyright.PENANAOHiG0lmwKd
682Please respect copyright.PENANA24M1keeuSF
"Stop." 682Please respect copyright.PENANAAckcZW3ocV
682Please respect copyright.PENANAMepScS9wAX
"Huh?" I say, at a complete loss as to what she is talking about.682Please respect copyright.PENANAy5K1U5nllM
682Please respect copyright.PENANAFTGpRlAIAR
"Stop blaming yourself. I don't mind missing work to take care of you; I really don't. Please stop being so dramatic."682Please respect copyright.PENANAtvhaE6YK6d
682Please respect copyright.PENANAoc540aspuk
I nod at her, saying nothing. She sighs.682Please respect copyright.PENANAYFk9dEo1Zx
682Please respect copyright.PENANAIAEOake4yF
"Go to sleep, Caleb. You look tired."682Please respect copyright.PENANAU91IB4dTX1
682Please respect copyright.PENANAPdUiu6MCrI
I pretend that I didn't hear her.682Please respect copyright.PENANA2MBA3ZtBO9
682Please respect copyright.PENANAcz45PEr3J0
"I want to hear you play the violin."682Please respect copyright.PENANAI34I7f9dtJ
682Please respect copyright.PENANAveAImj0PFi
She looks at me surprised.682Please respect copyright.PENANAL54SL5eiDg
682Please respect copyright.PENANAShL8oiZA4S
"I haven't played in a while—"682Please respect copyright.PENANAz8PVZvkD0t
682Please respect copyright.PENANA9mZGeYEezi
"Then make something up," I say teasingly. She shoots me a glare and I backtrack.682Please respect copyright.PENANAfF7kTmdGDh
682Please respect copyright.PENANAGA4Ah81FpI
"Okay," I say, chuckling. "What about 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'"? 682Please respect copyright.PENANAS2Q6CI9EE1
682Please respect copyright.PENANAGeegEdNs3B
She smiles at me.682Please respect copyright.PENANANpwWl2pCtn
682Please respect copyright.PENANA3NuVyLztw0
"I would, but I don't have any rosin."682Please respect copyright.PENANAB4aWdBJE3q
682Please respect copyright.PENANAa5MHfnbc8g
"Yes, you do. Look in the bottom of the bag."682Please respect copyright.PENANA2XfDP7TZBL
682Please respect copyright.PENANAWgfkbyY23K
She raises her eyebrow. "Did you plan to have me play for you?"682Please respect copyright.PENANAsBaOaIf1sJ
682Please respect copyright.PENANAmwYYaB1A52
"Babe, I just wanted to give you the full package," I reply, pun unapologetically intended.682Please respect copyright.PENANAf2qkGWcpwO
682Please respect copyright.PENANAv9FelOkJDq
Her smile broadens. "Glad to know."682Please respect copyright.PENANAM1ghbcdU6X
682Please respect copyright.PENANAC3GcGtkqVc
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.682Please respect copyright.PENANAcM2Hve5q42
682Please respect copyright.PENANAVPyW0Cn0UU
"Okay. So, 'Twinkle Twinkle', right?" she asks, and I nod my head enthusiastically.682Please respect copyright.PENANAADufSgGBgU
682Please respect copyright.PENANA1kbbGoWBiF
Then, she begins.682Please respect copyright.PENANAxE86EkgvSS
682Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZsRqNi8A3
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.682Please respect copyright.PENANAfqB9nGm6Ml
682Please respect copyright.PENANAfR9rM2tOLP
When she turns back to me, she ignores my awed expression, and simply says:682Please respect copyright.PENANAzXpx7J8x05
682Please respect copyright.PENANAhpF5M4biqc
"It's time to take your temperature again."682Please respect copyright.PENANAUdiw2QTHVb
682Please respect copyright.PENANA3jsja74GFG
***682Please respect copyright.PENANAKDq5SmLfQM
682Please respect copyright.PENANA5MfJLuQfIA
"100.1. Better, but still a fever," Evetta says exasperated, sitting on the bed beside me.682Please respect copyright.PENANAAHaqoJYQUg
682Please respect copyright.PENANAhIRGA012hU
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?682Please respect copyright.PENANAbeJNXW8edN
682Please respect copyright.PENANA7uMGy3mtPY
I sniff a little more, trying to figure it out. Apparently I'm not as inconspicuous as I thought, because she notices.682Please respect copyright.PENANAcoPNwHybhU
682Please respect copyright.PENANAzlEcitK3CL
"It's my deodorant. It's natural deodorant, and I wiped my armpits with wet wipes and I put it on this morning."682Please respect copyright.PENANAZEC7ZRSH1X
682Please respect copyright.PENANAuw2h536n7y
What the fuck? That's so strange.682Please respect copyright.PENANAkhqfJqllFA
682Please respect copyright.PENANA9IU6d1gpgH
"Why?"682Please respect copyright.PENANAbHPNZaIuzx
682Please respect copyright.PENANAhYVgY2T8rQ
"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.682Please respect copyright.PENANAqt52kJPfK5
682Please respect copyright.PENANAwJEeTHdJdl
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.682Please respect copyright.PENANAHK4Dcyze1w
682Please respect copyright.PENANAvlCs1Mwh4E
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.682Please respect copyright.PENANAYLHAftNxkE
682Please respect copyright.PENANAbNw9THH51H
"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.682Please respect copyright.PENANANew8ESh9Z2
682Please respect copyright.PENANAVMRtf9QHxG
She laughs; it's that warm, bubbly sound again.682Please respect copyright.PENANASKFn2w0lds
682Please respect copyright.PENANA3Vmb7QnS4B
"Try not to eat the bowl."682Please respect copyright.PENANAGP8oiM6Zix
682Please respect copyright.PENANA8pyPuDc2Ai
She sets the trey down on the bed in front of me and goes into the bathroom to bathe.682Please respect copyright.PENANA1hZ3iry5aK
682Please respect copyright.PENANAz2JtXUshn9
I look down at the thick, orange liquid, and raise a spoonful to my lips and blow on it before drinking it.682Please respect copyright.PENANAySMqmyp7yw
682Please respect copyright.PENANANnwNBWmm5V
The taste is amazing; it's as if heaven has been brought down in the form of soup and presented to me.682Please respect copyright.PENANAKHRGaxLSBP
682Please respect copyright.PENANA6i34OrDq7j
However, as I am pulling the spoon out of my mouth, something hits me; something big.682Please respect copyright.PENANA4w3RhQNj7F
682Please respect copyright.PENANA7XVH7PyjIQ
A memory.682Please respect copyright.PENANAneVerTH0oF
682Please respect copyright.PENANADnxlHZtZ65
A memory of Evetta feeding me this same dish, literally feeding me with the spoon, a flirtatious smile on her face.682Please respect copyright.PENANATYm64l1nox
682Please respect copyright.PENANASuzRiweICH
The my reaction.682Please respect copyright.PENANA3sfBe9DYmy
682Please respect copyright.PENANALeFdnUvWi6
"Holy shit! That's amazing!"682Please respect copyright.PENANArMys8luEj2
682Please respect copyright.PENANAPd1588uYXB
"You really think so?"682Please respect copyright.PENANAq6QzpeBtVK
682Please respect copyright.PENANAgLBSyLx5dD
"Yes, of course, darling." 682Please respect copyright.PENANA10ELWHbHOn
682Please respect copyright.PENANAFWDaZUeghJ
After which, we kissed.682Please respect copyright.PENANA7A8S35nM6D
682Please respect copyright.PENANAB0aUrmQzVg
Before I know what I'm doing, I walk straight into the bathroom.682Please respect copyright.PENANAvdDuFBn806
682Please respect copyright.PENANA0w3W3g8qL5
"Ah!" she shouts in surprise, completely naked, under the shower.682Please respect copyright.PENANAUsAB0D3wDt
682Please respect copyright.PENANAzttxQcUYoD
"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.682Please respect copyright.PENANAblAaVp0CH5
682Please respect copyright.PENANAI1ZAwqrt37
"You what? What did you remember?"682Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0LIXfvRU1
682Please respect copyright.PENANAEdsvX6baNB
"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.682Please respect copyright.PENANApen1sJ5qxA
682Please respect copyright.PENANAs5wpghZyT0
"That's amazing, Caleb, I'm so happy! I'd hug you, but I'm wet, and you're sick."682Please respect copyright.PENANAEbjGbj80GW
682Please respect copyright.PENANAFxh1BHAXxO
"You're wet?"682Please respect copyright.PENANAX4vaEE6TiE
682Please respect copyright.PENANA8zh08USRXy
"Shut up," she says grinning. 682Please respect copyright.PENANAYAHvo62ePf
682Please respect copyright.PENANAHNae2BbCZq
"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.682Please respect copyright.PENANABlsdxhhXhF
