So tell me the name of an idiot who decides to go out in the freezing cold of January London without even a Jacket?545Please respect copyright.PENANAnocRvEMHLB
545Please respect copyright.PENANAvsBZrtosfh
Caleb Fucking Winters, that's who.545Please respect copyright.PENANAMauhs3tn8S
545Please respect copyright.PENANAL3xcmJpUdk
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.545Please respect copyright.PENANAyezTotaZjX
545Please respect copyright.PENANADdEH7lhKPJ
"104.5. That's still high," she sighs. 545Please respect copyright.PENANAJeTC62RCBR
545Please respect copyright.PENANAy2D70y4v98
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.545Please respect copyright.PENANAn7V7gIygZK
545Please respect copyright.PENANA9xxDHEezxp
Then, something occurs to me. 545Please respect copyright.PENANAvTuIjv0dMi
545Please respect copyright.PENANAjhDXszqdbZ
"Aren't you supposed to be at work?"545Please respect copyright.PENANAhFgGp6seik
545Please respect copyright.PENANA7XLvOB7QbH
She looks at me as if I'm retarded.545Please respect copyright.PENANArQqS2LY3D9
545Please respect copyright.PENANAUt0OpmAOZs
"You're sick."545Please respect copyright.PENANAuK8Q6gd9wZ
545Please respect copyright.PENANAa1pDE660Xq
"You have a job."545Please respect copyright.PENANAJoTCFrKtmS
545Please respect copyright.PENANAEUatuLlsCu
"I also have a boyfriend who can't even breathe through his nose."545Please respect copyright.PENANAxIjD6fQdri
545Please respect copyright.PENANA21bVxZxwnQ
"I can take care of myself," I insist, feeling like so many different kinds of shit. "Go to work," I order her. 545Please respect copyright.PENANAa5LpJS2yGL
545Please respect copyright.PENANAgKGkbEgjUH
"No," she replies.545Please respect copyright.PENANAoyXSZmuETW
545Please respect copyright.PENANAyLsdiFeR03
"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.545Please respect copyright.PENANA4YJqxmBm7s
545Please respect copyright.PENANAqZiABmkih6
"I'd rather not."545Please respect copyright.PENANAIVnqmnWzj5
545Please respect copyright.PENANAo1ajlDW4t5
I sigh in frustration.545Please respect copyright.PENANACNbgYIchC6
545Please respect copyright.PENANAc2Bv1kMvGr
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.545Please respect copyright.PENANAZrUPM3wGfH
545Please respect copyright.PENANAFcxtnvE7Ie
"Stop." 545Please respect copyright.PENANAOffCCoZcbw
545Please respect copyright.PENANAW5l3KnDhWk
"Huh?" I say, at a complete loss as to what she is talking about.545Please respect copyright.PENANABDrABbRLEP
545Please respect copyright.PENANAq0AVPVMRhC
"Stop blaming yourself. I don't mind missing work to take care of you; I really don't. Please stop being so dramatic."545Please respect copyright.PENANAot6IbUQO5q
545Please respect copyright.PENANAqBvVit88eo
I nod at her, saying nothing. She sighs.545Please respect copyright.PENANAlqLu9X1pGU
545Please respect copyright.PENANAcj9BiVotjR
"Go to sleep, Caleb. You look tired."545Please respect copyright.PENANAYxM38waP22
545Please respect copyright.PENANAfVIe34Jf1D
I pretend that I didn't hear her.545Please respect copyright.PENANAL1atJBtfCk
545Please respect copyright.PENANAPfy9CV2nEx
"I want to hear you play the violin."545Please respect copyright.PENANAHZv4UyV5UX
545Please respect copyright.PENANAgOLxHDyfVu
She looks at me surprised.545Please respect copyright.PENANA3PEI8ZKwsH
545Please respect copyright.PENANA8es9gNGR7S
"I haven't played in a while—"545Please respect copyright.PENANA9l6xJUr0wI
545Please respect copyright.PENANA3H54GkUo1I
"Then make something up," I say teasingly. She shoots me a glare and I backtrack.545Please respect copyright.PENANALEfWaOsSVA
545Please respect copyright.PENANAIP4FoxsKod
"Okay," I say, chuckling. "What about 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'"? 545Please respect copyright.PENANAIWlMfzOkY1
545Please respect copyright.PENANAMV1ONJhHCE
She smiles at me.545Please respect copyright.PENANAQwZ1nC6tTS
545Please respect copyright.PENANA8VcpjfllOK
"I would, but I don't have any rosin."545Please respect copyright.PENANAAbOnGQ0Ar8
545Please respect copyright.PENANAMxHMp0MY2W
"Yes, you do. Look in the bottom of the bag."545Please respect copyright.PENANAj6o0OxoOGK
545Please respect copyright.PENANAlJ5EM8QaM9
She raises her eyebrow. "Did you plan to have me play for you?"545Please respect copyright.PENANALX5qWCGDV4
545Please respect copyright.PENANAUHdCkFSWT6
"Babe, I just wanted to give you the full package," I reply, pun unapologetically intended.545Please respect copyright.PENANAkpT62VBmOr
545Please respect copyright.PENANApBW2p17AFv
Her smile broadens. "Glad to know."545Please respect copyright.PENANAkc5n6UaaQQ
545Please respect copyright.PENANARmtOcWSZ95
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.545Please respect copyright.PENANAlNjWpi0CeQ
545Please respect copyright.PENANALEx5bBjk0C
"Okay. So, 'Twinkle Twinkle', right?" she asks, and I nod my head enthusiastically.545Please respect copyright.PENANA6ODmmJ6MNl
545Please respect copyright.PENANAEbCIaHGi3I
Then, she begins.545Please respect copyright.PENANACTrtkFkagV
545Please respect copyright.PENANABi8nODGSx7
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.545Please respect copyright.PENANA97MCCktm3I
545Please respect copyright.PENANAFmKkneSnmC
When she turns back to me, she ignores my awed expression, and simply says:545Please respect copyright.PENANAdtKxo2R8hF
545Please respect copyright.PENANAjwvbZvtccY
"It's time to take your temperature again."545Please respect copyright.PENANARzlzuEITZM
545Please respect copyright.PENANA7ypnFcGs1R
***545Please respect copyright.PENANA5fSGiYkKTV
545Please respect copyright.PENANAgP18veei2W
"100.1. Better, but still a fever," Evetta says exasperated, sitting on the bed beside me.545Please respect copyright.PENANAyqRhwETXYY
545Please respect copyright.PENANAW4xeJhhBdH
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?545Please respect copyright.PENANA6GpbH9Vp1q
545Please respect copyright.PENANAeXJOd2NPIh
I sniff a little more, trying to figure it out. Apparently I'm not as inconspicuous as I thought, because she notices.545Please respect copyright.PENANAGMdyu9avRA
545Please respect copyright.PENANAA6BbsFDX8P
"It's my deodorant. It's natural deodorant, and I wiped my armpits with wet wipes and I put it on this morning."545Please respect copyright.PENANAgdKQTzswFX
545Please respect copyright.PENANAQtAUHxM6s1
What the fuck? That's so strange.545Please respect copyright.PENANAmkYFzkoMvG
545Please respect copyright.PENANAm8zGr9IHnC
"Why?"545Please respect copyright.PENANAPGPHeME59E
545Please respect copyright.PENANAp717Ku54hm
"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.545Please respect copyright.PENANAbVmXKnpsnf
545Please respect copyright.PENANAGwqYl71A90
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.545Please respect copyright.PENANAXKNhAF1tEg
545Please respect copyright.PENANACRspUF9aVI
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.545Please respect copyright.PENANATEMrLfUOgY
545Please respect copyright.PENANAYnNKuwOxzd
"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.545Please respect copyright.PENANA4lAqgIrnDm
545Please respect copyright.PENANAHQZTgRHqAv
She laughs; it's that warm, bubbly sound again.545Please respect copyright.PENANA3ntd6hEvlV
545Please respect copyright.PENANAak6Vjsda4R
"Try not to eat the bowl."545Please respect copyright.PENANA9IZYbr1W6f
545Please respect copyright.PENANAAXa4qTRAYv
She sets the trey down on the bed in front of me and goes into the bathroom to bathe.545Please respect copyright.PENANABNbzDMLjLY
545Please respect copyright.PENANATdNfbvIVy3
I look down at the thick, orange liquid, and raise a spoonful to my lips and blow on it before drinking it.545Please respect copyright.PENANALGlz0qTUdt
545Please respect copyright.PENANAtLE2CHLhqv
The taste is amazing; it's as if heaven has been brought down in the form of soup and presented to me.545Please respect copyright.PENANAEGbxSUfw8S
545Please respect copyright.PENANAYjJsoT4TU1
However, as I am pulling the spoon out of my mouth, something hits me; something big.545Please respect copyright.PENANAt7senfbFes
545Please respect copyright.PENANAQs5ysH6TAO
A memory.545Please respect copyright.PENANAIdDMAfxHTS
545Please respect copyright.PENANANa5qMLd8ey
A memory of Evetta feeding me this same dish, literally feeding me with the spoon, a flirtatious smile on her face.545Please respect copyright.PENANAY3XX217qbu
545Please respect copyright.PENANAIqE00Yflc5
The my reaction.545Please respect copyright.PENANAgGYlDnLOP7
545Please respect copyright.PENANAhurS3oDFzO
"Holy shit! That's amazing!"545Please respect copyright.PENANAPsJB0ZaAYr
545Please respect copyright.PENANAY56qQG9Uz8
"You really think so?"545Please respect copyright.PENANAs10wBsjTx8
545Please respect copyright.PENANAUCKDxOxYqg
"Yes, of course, darling." 545Please respect copyright.PENANAsSJ68qTecT
545Please respect copyright.PENANAFsKwPSFQdP
After which, we kissed.545Please respect copyright.PENANAIVMmqBAWMG
545Please respect copyright.PENANA8X2O2U58lI
Before I know what I'm doing, I walk straight into the bathroom.545Please respect copyright.PENANAFi7dTrcYsd
545Please respect copyright.PENANAMlKOUG5vGO
"Ah!" she shouts in surprise, completely naked, under the shower.545Please respect copyright.PENANAt36gjrMh5n
545Please respect copyright.PENANAEXTnxNQktw
"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.545Please respect copyright.PENANA8bbn4a7sdv
545Please respect copyright.PENANAOod7VTGd2s
"You what? What did you remember?"545Please respect copyright.PENANArRUCIidxd1
545Please respect copyright.PENANAdb6Wftpzk0
"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.545Please respect copyright.PENANA4PPNFrnPa1
545Please respect copyright.PENANAAxwFnx9FXm
"That's amazing, Caleb, I'm so happy! I'd hug you, but I'm wet, and you're sick."545Please respect copyright.PENANAvu82nofQsR
545Please respect copyright.PENANAVk9G8SO80W
"You're wet?"545Please respect copyright.PENANADRPqxiACIj
545Please respect copyright.PENANAudmoBqSO6Y
"Shut up," she says grinning. 545Please respect copyright.PENANAOgMi0YP0VY
545Please respect copyright.PENANAJQ1qwmQ8SL
"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.545Please respect copyright.PENANAGRQBXVzjhA
