So tell me the name of an idiot who decides to go out in the freezing cold of January London without even a Jacket?704Please respect copyright.PENANAG8tNYWV8q8
704Please respect copyright.PENANA1CYA6KzscC
Caleb Fucking Winters, that's who.704Please respect copyright.PENANANPTDA3g1zw
704Please respect copyright.PENANAtbbCHo0iC4
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.704Please respect copyright.PENANA4V2R0xXwgj
704Please respect copyright.PENANAk29j3k2DIe
"104.5. That's still high," she sighs. 704Please respect copyright.PENANATMehceRfae
704Please respect copyright.PENANA4jezn4dB1O
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.704Please respect copyright.PENANA71uit0ZwHe
704Please respect copyright.PENANAdSXA55L4Pj
Then, something occurs to me. 704Please respect copyright.PENANA1h5zRNGu21
704Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ldem5rvUx
"Aren't you supposed to be at work?"704Please respect copyright.PENANA3JeDQe95Lt
704Please respect copyright.PENANAeYjnrrpKW6
She looks at me as if I'm retarded.704Please respect copyright.PENANAnYEFinEWWw
704Please respect copyright.PENANATqaymBYHsp
"You're sick."704Please respect copyright.PENANA3tFWSO7gP7
704Please respect copyright.PENANAhZMLzyJEEe
"You have a job."704Please respect copyright.PENANAlz9qCWL7mb
704Please respect copyright.PENANAQRQ9ypIyPU
"I also have a boyfriend who can't even breathe through his nose."704Please respect copyright.PENANAyCnTgDg8VZ
704Please respect copyright.PENANAvYg6FcbHSd
"I can take care of myself," I insist, feeling like so many different kinds of shit. "Go to work," I order her. 704Please respect copyright.PENANAexurF3PVjK
704Please respect copyright.PENANAQJ9oR5B7Iw
"No," she replies.704Please respect copyright.PENANASw1Uk4cCwa
704Please respect copyright.PENANAFe7wmzaUEX
"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.704Please respect copyright.PENANA0LZyYFPwCz
704Please respect copyright.PENANAin6U8FnF1k
"I'd rather not."704Please respect copyright.PENANA83Fm2MIH53
704Please respect copyright.PENANAKnDZHUdtIZ
I sigh in frustration.704Please respect copyright.PENANAaLjaL20KGh
704Please respect copyright.PENANAdBSevMToYQ
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.704Please respect copyright.PENANAuqmJ9nY8ba
704Please respect copyright.PENANA59J6bWYgCM
"Stop." 704Please respect copyright.PENANAv3jOpwSSEk
704Please respect copyright.PENANAMdyrMbMzWu
"Huh?" I say, at a complete loss as to what she is talking about.704Please respect copyright.PENANAQedtcSnKNw
704Please respect copyright.PENANA6S9l8mviSB
"Stop blaming yourself. I don't mind missing work to take care of you; I really don't. Please stop being so dramatic."704Please respect copyright.PENANASlR23oqcvo
704Please respect copyright.PENANAMo6TgIeAAs
I nod at her, saying nothing. She sighs.704Please respect copyright.PENANAIRJF78pgBO
704Please respect copyright.PENANAz468x86nKe
"Go to sleep, Caleb. You look tired."704Please respect copyright.PENANApwVcZw0m9p
704Please respect copyright.PENANA0yXcPvTTv3
I pretend that I didn't hear her.704Please respect copyright.PENANAaZZLtMILnU
704Please respect copyright.PENANAaAuS93ryqM
"I want to hear you play the violin."704Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZlSF9DKh9
704Please respect copyright.PENANAHtCKk1WMky
She looks at me surprised.704Please respect copyright.PENANARxTvf0vhYj
704Please respect copyright.PENANATlT9Ds9Ly3
"I haven't played in a while—"704Please respect copyright.PENANAJfH7GpPkMH
704Please respect copyright.PENANAAux1gvHDnD
"Then make something up," I say teasingly. She shoots me a glare and I backtrack.704Please respect copyright.PENANAQRCPE2Cx8E
704Please respect copyright.PENANAcLMIMIoAzK
"Okay," I say, chuckling. "What about 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'"? 704Please respect copyright.PENANA4Wwzez6D8J
704Please respect copyright.PENANANb7793kYDb
She smiles at me.704Please respect copyright.PENANAbGlpRUIOJj
704Please respect copyright.PENANAfW25ohcvDN
"I would, but I don't have any rosin."704Please respect copyright.PENANAujX1H45w7K
704Please respect copyright.PENANAqfcdZb1GDX
"Yes, you do. Look in the bottom of the bag."704Please respect copyright.PENANAtqVfNhuVgX
704Please respect copyright.PENANAfuk2YaKVFU
She raises her eyebrow. "Did you plan to have me play for you?"704Please respect copyright.PENANAlQpTwniWYF
704Please respect copyright.PENANAwnOTA2aiGq
"Babe, I just wanted to give you the full package," I reply, pun unapologetically intended.704Please respect copyright.PENANA2tWTDWuaEJ
704Please respect copyright.PENANAtu8vVuYP80
Her smile broadens. "Glad to know."704Please respect copyright.PENANApH3EprWBz1
704Please respect copyright.PENANADp4qy0C8hc
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.704Please respect copyright.PENANADEjTygjKzL
704Please respect copyright.PENANAAwSDIhxiYG
"Okay. So, 'Twinkle Twinkle', right?" she asks, and I nod my head enthusiastically.704Please respect copyright.PENANAGo8KG8e8tM
704Please respect copyright.PENANAgedUo6jvbB
Then, she begins.704Please respect copyright.PENANAismo8udiFg
704Please respect copyright.PENANA5k5iTYO7D9
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.704Please respect copyright.PENANAvbAMVPqoBL
704Please respect copyright.PENANAAj9LZPWCGW
When she turns back to me, she ignores my awed expression, and simply says:704Please respect copyright.PENANAJCPE3hwGlL
704Please respect copyright.PENANA2hEuNwg8qd
"It's time to take your temperature again."704Please respect copyright.PENANA2gjA2js3Sa

***704Please respect copyright.PENANA260cITXhtm
704Please respect copyright.PENANA4vxmdK8x1M
"100.1. Better, but still a fever," Evetta says exasperated, sitting on the bed beside me.704Please respect copyright.PENANARt0Yyf4qQV
704Please respect copyright.PENANADAXnHN05qi
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?704Please respect copyright.PENANAieEf33E7wM
704Please respect copyright.PENANAbFMvtKIHho
I sniff a little more, trying to figure it out. Apparently I'm not as inconspicuous as I thought, because she notices.704Please respect copyright.PENANAqrwwkh7mzq
704Please respect copyright.PENANAAnNyv9R8Nc
"It's my deodorant. It's natural deodorant, and I wiped my armpits with wet wipes and I put it on this morning."704Please respect copyright.PENANA1ucye0LhQ0
704Please respect copyright.PENANAv9RveulwEl
What the fuck? That's so strange.704Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0D4xmjJBn
704Please respect copyright.PENANAs9xKjBLKYK
"Why?"704Please respect copyright.PENANAN4FJAJRIJz
704Please respect copyright.PENANALf4ItYn5E5
"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.704Please respect copyright.PENANAbmoN6oQC4z
704Please respect copyright.PENANA7snEYdIS71
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.704Please respect copyright.PENANADKgH3dbRBP
704Please respect copyright.PENANAZKqHUfTLSs
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.704Please respect copyright.PENANAIatTLo0Flm
704Please respect copyright.PENANAErQbTY8BYA
"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.704Please respect copyright.PENANAt2Jrk1JLja
704Please respect copyright.PENANAefTCWTqPoe
She laughs; it's that warm, bubbly sound again.704Please respect copyright.PENANAPM7RhG13Zl
704Please respect copyright.PENANAhwytqpQkyG
"Try not to eat the bowl."704Please respect copyright.PENANAOkuLlmGrqV
704Please respect copyright.PENANAdfLnD6acC7
She sets the trey down on the bed in front of me and goes into the bathroom to bathe.704Please respect copyright.PENANApfPWXqfiwL
704Please respect copyright.PENANAyganOUcNbr
I look down at the thick, orange liquid, and raise a spoonful to my lips and blow on it before drinking it.704Please respect copyright.PENANA9kCCAlRDbn
704Please respect copyright.PENANAvTQ8AHB9wY
The taste is amazing; it's as if heaven has been brought down in the form of soup and presented to me.704Please respect copyright.PENANAVCPFFgj6NL
704Please respect copyright.PENANAhGwS6AFG1m
However, as I am pulling the spoon out of my mouth, something hits me; something big.704Please respect copyright.PENANAJMw2Y5CMkX
704Please respect copyright.PENANAlQd0m3KEuJ
A memory.704Please respect copyright.PENANAtltmt0ZMt6
704Please respect copyright.PENANAxM8R1NTtEs
A memory of Evetta feeding me this same dish, literally feeding me with the spoon, a flirtatious smile on her face.704Please respect copyright.PENANAiAHoM9sSlD
704Please respect copyright.PENANA6dBky3TEGS
The my reaction.704Please respect copyright.PENANANM6YItppKY
704Please respect copyright.PENANAY1o3IRTY1f
"Holy shit! That's amazing!"704Please respect copyright.PENANADQnNaoIx7n
704Please respect copyright.PENANAeY6HPAdNcV
"You really think so?"704Please respect copyright.PENANALWZPSNNsaT
704Please respect copyright.PENANA7E67sjnbcf
"Yes, of course, darling." 704Please respect copyright.PENANAqfpxxhk4FL
704Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7RAhU4xLJ
After which, we kissed.704Please respect copyright.PENANALwluju21C2
704Please respect copyright.PENANA8MmMSpXWDp
Before I know what I'm doing, I walk straight into the bathroom.704Please respect copyright.PENANA32bCQy6dJQ
704Please respect copyright.PENANArnOZncv30k
"Ah!" she shouts in surprise, completely naked, under the shower.704Please respect copyright.PENANAalZsjz7pKS
704Please respect copyright.PENANAhrR8McSSJA
"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.704Please respect copyright.PENANAGYmU7kR30k
704Please respect copyright.PENANAX1gisyzaHX
"You what? What did you remember?"704Please respect copyright.PENANAboTJ2rk4Nf
704Please respect copyright.PENANAiSJQVXmoJ4
"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.704Please respect copyright.PENANArSTIg41Zdu
704Please respect copyright.PENANAIW7AvA0mnW
"That's amazing, Caleb, I'm so happy! I'd hug you, but I'm wet, and you're sick."704Please respect copyright.PENANAN3aavlpJMR
704Please respect copyright.PENANAcMhAZhllm4
"You're wet?"704Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7mOKrFOq0
704Please respect copyright.PENANAk9LVaAMNM6
"Shut up," she says grinning. 704Please respect copyright.PENANA4yCHd1UKqb
704Please respect copyright.PENANAJuWgQPAmlP
"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.704Please respect copyright.PENANABp7pQhxfXY
