So tell me the name of an idiot who decides to go out in the freezing cold of January London without even a Jacket?724Please respect copyright.PENANAI3GTEXyDOa
724Please respect copyright.PENANAHkF0vqnZuq
Caleb Fucking Winters, that's who.724Please respect copyright.PENANA9mk3r45qyk
724Please respect copyright.PENANABmwho7tPB8
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAdO5bcJ5SWA
724Please respect copyright.PENANA6MWA4jn5H3
"104.5. That's still high," she sighs. 724Please respect copyright.PENANANT5DHsWNA7
724Please respect copyright.PENANAAFSoxpJhwM
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAwQwvpOvqOC
724Please respect copyright.PENANAYCmL2xgTho
Then, something occurs to me. 724Please respect copyright.PENANAHGI6Owys8n
724Please respect copyright.PENANAeYGx0QgGXc
"Aren't you supposed to be at work?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAExgbWre3hi
724Please respect copyright.PENANAS8owIvquQ3
She looks at me as if I'm retarded.724Please respect copyright.PENANAU9ZIbsSXlw
724Please respect copyright.PENANAjpSy5iiBBl
"You're sick."724Please respect copyright.PENANAWijFhqozPG
724Please respect copyright.PENANA5grLGonq7O
"You have a job."724Please respect copyright.PENANAxuPQ8RTYXi
724Please respect copyright.PENANAo4MFfobzUY
"I also have a boyfriend who can't even breathe through his nose."724Please respect copyright.PENANAPDfwyr4osW
724Please respect copyright.PENANABjzEbcAlLq
"I can take care of myself," I insist, feeling like so many different kinds of shit. "Go to work," I order her. 724Please respect copyright.PENANAYJDHQS398M
724Please respect copyright.PENANA92oSyOcXrY
"No," she replies.724Please respect copyright.PENANAHQ7zRQFiv3
724Please respect copyright.PENANA0NXpluvo4o
"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.724Please respect copyright.PENANA4G6P7FVZRF
724Please respect copyright.PENANAAnxeKIJ1xd
"I'd rather not."724Please respect copyright.PENANATjgHHH6fvT
724Please respect copyright.PENANASDmSrbscxe
I sigh in frustration.724Please respect copyright.PENANAkG91zH4otq
724Please respect copyright.PENANApPTV0Q6om6
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANApEU2rTDYnR
724Please respect copyright.PENANAUyMZp2pkjn
"Stop." 724Please respect copyright.PENANAyq1ElTxztQ
724Please respect copyright.PENANAD3PVoVEA3n
"Huh?" I say, at a complete loss as to what she is talking about.724Please respect copyright.PENANA8NZX5H6Im4
724Please respect copyright.PENANAUjIOpn2R7z
"Stop blaming yourself. I don't mind missing work to take care of you; I really don't. Please stop being so dramatic."724Please respect copyright.PENANA4YJv2ovFou
724Please respect copyright.PENANA57Ni2W1dXY
I nod at her, saying nothing. She sighs.724Please respect copyright.PENANA9sHPZUcXBB
724Please respect copyright.PENANAm2UoAuqACa
"Go to sleep, Caleb. You look tired."724Please respect copyright.PENANAAK6OyVNjNG
724Please respect copyright.PENANAIwWfN6D3f5
I pretend that I didn't hear her.724Please respect copyright.PENANAdBw2AeDpdm
724Please respect copyright.PENANAuWmCIuhDIp
"I want to hear you play the violin."724Please respect copyright.PENANAqCUgwtN0Yn
724Please respect copyright.PENANAMvOkYVoHSQ
She looks at me surprised.724Please respect copyright.PENANAj86dLdYknH
724Please respect copyright.PENANA37QRaGxbdC
"I haven't played in a while—"724Please respect copyright.PENANA2H30SDoq9r
724Please respect copyright.PENANAWSmIHyXtNB
"Then make something up," I say teasingly. She shoots me a glare and I backtrack.724Please respect copyright.PENANAGOJDyzHFAL
724Please respect copyright.PENANAvd9UMtZLQ8
"Okay," I say, chuckling. "What about 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'"? 724Please respect copyright.PENANACEh69NVL6D
724Please respect copyright.PENANAR7zIAIEas7
She smiles at me.724Please respect copyright.PENANAx8TNwypxPr
724Please respect copyright.PENANAFjxh3srnBM
"I would, but I don't have any rosin."724Please respect copyright.PENANAi20c15oiJg
724Please respect copyright.PENANAvnWagdvG8d
"Yes, you do. Look in the bottom of the bag."724Please respect copyright.PENANA0uyznk2phw
724Please respect copyright.PENANAUL6AwQWzBo
She raises her eyebrow. "Did you plan to have me play for you?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAvue5i43reu
724Please respect copyright.PENANAOQbDgsKXWj
"Babe, I just wanted to give you the full package," I reply, pun unapologetically intended.724Please respect copyright.PENANAFBxlzDbneg
724Please respect copyright.PENANAjqlIBmMpWA
Her smile broadens. "Glad to know."724Please respect copyright.PENANAbTqHlRBS6O
724Please respect copyright.PENANABxGVLqAPpk
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAUYLYYgCICf
724Please respect copyright.PENANAgSLKJi5rnr
"Okay. So, 'Twinkle Twinkle', right?" she asks, and I nod my head enthusiastically.724Please respect copyright.PENANAr7me6VIlCj
724Please respect copyright.PENANAYIHOYyomcr
Then, she begins.724Please respect copyright.PENANAprXNzYXIj3
724Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0TOOhSspW
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAznUhRjDCom
724Please respect copyright.PENANAFHYhuYl3GE
When she turns back to me, she ignores my awed expression, and simply says:724Please respect copyright.PENANA5zbtA9n0RE
724Please respect copyright.PENANAHwm6hq0hjq
"It's time to take your temperature again."724Please respect copyright.PENANAgeUT4LiFc2
724Please respect copyright.PENANAxT90Wi8vVo
***724Please respect copyright.PENANA0QrxVrV0h4
724Please respect copyright.PENANAYdmZlWIDj9
"100.1. Better, but still a fever," Evetta says exasperated, sitting on the bed beside me.724Please respect copyright.PENANADgDEeyDrpN
724Please respect copyright.PENANAX1DHleP9v3
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?724Please respect copyright.PENANAe19Wu9eySm
724Please respect copyright.PENANATzlvb20sNN
I sniff a little more, trying to figure it out. Apparently I'm not as inconspicuous as I thought, because she notices.724Please respect copyright.PENANARXBc2tjVSu
724Please respect copyright.PENANAHLXMVJh33S
"It's my deodorant. It's natural deodorant, and I wiped my armpits with wet wipes and I put it on this morning."724Please respect copyright.PENANAdcnNYD2Tv8
724Please respect copyright.PENANAFUN4wLWKDx
What the fuck? That's so strange.724Please respect copyright.PENANAcKCk5Wh2UX
724Please respect copyright.PENANAdoDSBouwnA
"Why?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAV0ZjUl1Viy
724Please respect copyright.PENANAC2PlzHnKGA
"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.724Please respect copyright.PENANADDVqB8RcVo
724Please respect copyright.PENANAR0nCjQCYMx
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANA5QWNuFc2Bd
724Please respect copyright.PENANAw0J710lGZ3
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAxxpSLDCQBK
724Please respect copyright.PENANA8oKEACwU5R
"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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAkJsNGrP8DE
724Please respect copyright.PENANA0tIWKcJlM4
She laughs; it's that warm, bubbly sound again.724Please respect copyright.PENANAevuy2q15Qh
724Please respect copyright.PENANArPYAotfkIy
"Try not to eat the bowl."724Please respect copyright.PENANAxFhqVQTlBy
724Please respect copyright.PENANANeWl84GdAr
She sets the trey down on the bed in front of me and goes into the bathroom to bathe.724Please respect copyright.PENANASoPpQx99QH
724Please respect copyright.PENANAxkQLpDKEYa
I look down at the thick, orange liquid, and raise a spoonful to my lips and blow on it before drinking it.724Please respect copyright.PENANAtlHzgYTesz
724Please respect copyright.PENANADSNW4LMvfW
The taste is amazing; it's as if heaven has been brought down in the form of soup and presented to me.724Please respect copyright.PENANA4rzS3wGsEO
724Please respect copyright.PENANATPqfiCIkcz
However, as I am pulling the spoon out of my mouth, something hits me; something big.724Please respect copyright.PENANAuVH3nbmExN
724Please respect copyright.PENANAUeSwi3R9Dz
A memory.724Please respect copyright.PENANADHIgqphvzG
724Please respect copyright.PENANATOAexkNcrq
A memory of Evetta feeding me this same dish, literally feeding me with the spoon, a flirtatious smile on her face.724Please respect copyright.PENANAxysx41u3Xw
724Please respect copyright.PENANAbHtExoqIaV
The my reaction.724Please respect copyright.PENANAPrEqgtXo0m
724Please respect copyright.PENANAqOk2QOyBdc
"Holy shit! That's amazing!"724Please respect copyright.PENANAJi2naId0g6
724Please respect copyright.PENANAJZHkNkUEjj
"You really think so?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAetymO6AXLl
724Please respect copyright.PENANA0r8ltuMmQV
"Yes, of course, darling." 724Please respect copyright.PENANAc1fGKZAjnu
724Please respect copyright.PENANAlCaE5gXB2P
After which, we kissed.724Please respect copyright.PENANA644cALUiir
724Please respect copyright.PENANAinCI9dEALz
Before I know what I'm doing, I walk straight into the bathroom.724Please respect copyright.PENANATU5yGWVWPt
724Please respect copyright.PENANARM0EUH8oj2
"Ah!" she shouts in surprise, completely naked, under the shower.724Please respect copyright.PENANAK63ga1NtGX
724Please respect copyright.PENANACoIqcjBSyk
"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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAvLlPbxVtNJ
724Please respect copyright.PENANAIV8pKhU4U1
"You what? What did you remember?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAqa6HrfXzqH
724Please respect copyright.PENANAK6lgtTmuxH
"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.724Please respect copyright.PENANA7AhsLhGwOs
724Please respect copyright.PENANAN5CpeC10lV
"That's amazing, Caleb, I'm so happy! I'd hug you, but I'm wet, and you're sick."724Please respect copyright.PENANAZcuJxte8dG
724Please respect copyright.PENANApOzkdXTquR
"You're wet?"724Please respect copyright.PENANA2C0P3RZovr
724Please respect copyright.PENANAdGtp2tcxuf
"Shut up," she says grinning. 724Please respect copyright.PENANA3mBpO1ozpV
724Please respect copyright.PENANAuC6Eebxf4F
"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.724Please respect copyright.PENANA7m6WLZb0Vj
