So tell me the name of an idiot who decides to go out in the freezing cold of January London without even a Jacket?668Please respect copyright.PENANAv8d1arBfwW
668Please respect copyright.PENANAZxFbBjv7sQ
Caleb Fucking Winters, that's who.668Please respect copyright.PENANAiaUKil1NmR
668Please respect copyright.PENANAXvTzHzXSoY
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.668Please respect copyright.PENANACQB6Nukc3U
668Please respect copyright.PENANAlIZpjd1a6t
"104.5. That's still high," she sighs. 668Please respect copyright.PENANAvhe16tGbZ1
668Please respect copyright.PENANAJO6SVA5WaT
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.668Please respect copyright.PENANAMjoRrVbU8g
668Please respect copyright.PENANA4Jt9rQWfZC
Then, something occurs to me. 668Please respect copyright.PENANAQNaABLBHuo
668Please respect copyright.PENANAIZZQPIms2e
"Aren't you supposed to be at work?"668Please respect copyright.PENANAf5DIPrINON
668Please respect copyright.PENANARfYApqqVsS
She looks at me as if I'm retarded.668Please respect copyright.PENANAPMTSGzMazf
668Please respect copyright.PENANAWhOgzpF327
"You're sick."668Please respect copyright.PENANADlpICVBcxU
668Please respect copyright.PENANAjiXMqZLknC
"You have a job."668Please respect copyright.PENANAHrjqNlxjaV
668Please respect copyright.PENANAv98IsrFCKr
"I also have a boyfriend who can't even breathe through his nose."668Please respect copyright.PENANA9wfX9EJcX3
668Please respect copyright.PENANAgkNYSCckWL
"I can take care of myself," I insist, feeling like so many different kinds of shit. "Go to work," I order her. 668Please respect copyright.PENANAixeWpC4kSR
668Please respect copyright.PENANALDKodcvcGl
"No," she replies.668Please respect copyright.PENANAQmAeY59zTe
668Please respect copyright.PENANAuJajawiFSj
"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.668Please respect copyright.PENANAoUsxskW4Vo
668Please respect copyright.PENANAEHqu3eui1u
"I'd rather not."668Please respect copyright.PENANAlTCl9lW0VC
668Please respect copyright.PENANAKIk7TL2SHD
I sigh in frustration.668Please respect copyright.PENANAxQaDUZWDBK
668Please respect copyright.PENANAjmh2KqecbJ
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.668Please respect copyright.PENANAqg9okqsYqy
668Please respect copyright.PENANAxfy7sXpuxw
"Stop." 668Please respect copyright.PENANA8hRYecAnEe
668Please respect copyright.PENANAIvpeL2DeAk
"Huh?" I say, at a complete loss as to what she is talking about.668Please respect copyright.PENANAp8UMc56f7F
668Please respect copyright.PENANADw2y8yxIU0
"Stop blaming yourself. I don't mind missing work to take care of you; I really don't. Please stop being so dramatic."668Please respect copyright.PENANASfu8R01VVJ
668Please respect copyright.PENANAAbaycYx6ph
I nod at her, saying nothing. She sighs.668Please respect copyright.PENANA3EKQgGGEVZ
668Please respect copyright.PENANAvEBDT0O9RI
"Go to sleep, Caleb. You look tired."668Please respect copyright.PENANAa9msRsAdqR
668Please respect copyright.PENANAwiXPwZRtFv
I pretend that I didn't hear her.668Please respect copyright.PENANA4uC0HYR0fP
668Please respect copyright.PENANAW9fiXQXpBT
"I want to hear you play the violin."668Please respect copyright.PENANAEkeswiAddj
668Please respect copyright.PENANAXkZFO8sc0x
She looks at me surprised.668Please respect copyright.PENANACTWmGWf4Er
668Please respect copyright.PENANAMTo73usiiY
"I haven't played in a while—"668Please respect copyright.PENANALzRFNq9Yw7
668Please respect copyright.PENANAOgr7jRK8St
"Then make something up," I say teasingly. She shoots me a glare and I backtrack.668Please respect copyright.PENANAs6vdOlm93k
668Please respect copyright.PENANAlPWktWjnxH
"Okay," I say, chuckling. "What about 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'"? 668Please respect copyright.PENANA23xG8MX0di
668Please respect copyright.PENANAYjCafHZiWC
She smiles at me.668Please respect copyright.PENANAoiB7uzNszK
668Please respect copyright.PENANAfGRePjkfg5
"I would, but I don't have any rosin."668Please respect copyright.PENANAE97iMuTUhO
668Please respect copyright.PENANAp8EEdg602b
"Yes, you do. Look in the bottom of the bag."668Please respect copyright.PENANAgqH4KXJtGv
668Please respect copyright.PENANAlcEx16Ltmc
She raises her eyebrow. "Did you plan to have me play for you?"668Please respect copyright.PENANAELRJ1oJRqV
668Please respect copyright.PENANAEopX7zuEK7
"Babe, I just wanted to give you the full package," I reply, pun unapologetically intended.668Please respect copyright.PENANA8JEwRsn5cr
668Please respect copyright.PENANAECyQRAOWun
Her smile broadens. "Glad to know."668Please respect copyright.PENANAHnUwjJdZ8X
668Please respect copyright.PENANAxT8A3qrBsp
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.668Please respect copyright.PENANAYfZ6E1fMYq
668Please respect copyright.PENANAQXwMKIYwA4
"Okay. So, 'Twinkle Twinkle', right?" she asks, and I nod my head enthusiastically.668Please respect copyright.PENANAxRyQjz8sXi
668Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1iFrvuzPV
Then, she begins.668Please respect copyright.PENANAtBnFrDkOiu
668Please respect copyright.PENANACeCUoLzZ0O
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.668Please respect copyright.PENANARPWOEkSssz
668Please respect copyright.PENANAtsnK5Ji39P
When she turns back to me, she ignores my awed expression, and simply says:668Please respect copyright.PENANATHabr2OzXM
668Please respect copyright.PENANAa4RVtBTnR1
"It's time to take your temperature again."668Please respect copyright.PENANAgb2cWI5xtK

***668Please respect copyright.PENANASPQudnRUip
668Please respect copyright.PENANAmefcA1TbOA
"100.1. Better, but still a fever," Evetta says exasperated, sitting on the bed beside me.668Please respect copyright.PENANAkbZEST3VSz
668Please respect copyright.PENANAVXk5jfLi2L
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?668Please respect copyright.PENANANiAT4CO7Ym
668Please respect copyright.PENANANZTsUGIFOW
I sniff a little more, trying to figure it out. Apparently I'm not as inconspicuous as I thought, because she notices.668Please respect copyright.PENANA3zpwj6fufC
668Please respect copyright.PENANAiOLcMjFXyp
"It's my deodorant. It's natural deodorant, and I wiped my armpits with wet wipes and I put it on this morning."668Please respect copyright.PENANATe5IHqpp59
668Please respect copyright.PENANAHcOY0c9FG8
What the fuck? That's so strange.668Please respect copyright.PENANAPqeZouiwKn
668Please respect copyright.PENANAUFuckU1JcN
"Why?"668Please respect copyright.PENANAiyjHgXI6WR
668Please respect copyright.PENANAlvvVTaSPKR
"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.668Please respect copyright.PENANAviQDvtAOz8
668Please respect copyright.PENANA1nP3JiwZ5C
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.668Please respect copyright.PENANAiH9SCQcPk9
668Please respect copyright.PENANA5MUWnZuoKY
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.668Please respect copyright.PENANACXlTXSqsMu
668Please respect copyright.PENANA1sHv9PjfmB
"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.668Please respect copyright.PENANAmkSnwRhqeo
668Please respect copyright.PENANA5BlEpEZclb
She laughs; it's that warm, bubbly sound again.668Please respect copyright.PENANADGrv8FpSaq
668Please respect copyright.PENANAICTMTj71Tn
"Try not to eat the bowl."668Please respect copyright.PENANAAw0j8YryQP
668Please respect copyright.PENANAJc7rCFli7Q
She sets the trey down on the bed in front of me and goes into the bathroom to bathe.668Please respect copyright.PENANAPBYoXnAuuO
668Please respect copyright.PENANAg4fYP7w33O
I look down at the thick, orange liquid, and raise a spoonful to my lips and blow on it before drinking it.668Please respect copyright.PENANAhbiC3fgEnO
668Please respect copyright.PENANAtHmxery2Gm
The taste is amazing; it's as if heaven has been brought down in the form of soup and presented to me.668Please respect copyright.PENANADYYCS3zNaw
668Please respect copyright.PENANADvckyne0Ix
However, as I am pulling the spoon out of my mouth, something hits me; something big.668Please respect copyright.PENANATJ4FTHy9n7
668Please respect copyright.PENANAUsruumUEDU
A memory.668Please respect copyright.PENANA8NLSGEtKG4
668Please respect copyright.PENANAVMwP95yYVk
A memory of Evetta feeding me this same dish, literally feeding me with the spoon, a flirtatious smile on her face.668Please respect copyright.PENANAIMCJvtkSlh
668Please respect copyright.PENANAplao38h0OI
The my reaction.668Please respect copyright.PENANACXlw4uCK4p
668Please respect copyright.PENANAOVcEMtMVkx
"Holy shit! That's amazing!"668Please respect copyright.PENANA9hfU1TlNYe
668Please respect copyright.PENANAVby97pswI0
"You really think so?"668Please respect copyright.PENANAyGNviR0Sfl
668Please respect copyright.PENANArPL1F9ozbN
"Yes, of course, darling." 668Please respect copyright.PENANA18cVXD5GEm
668Please respect copyright.PENANAv553rAWMvK
After which, we kissed.668Please respect copyright.PENANAQcMvD8q65V
668Please respect copyright.PENANAsb0L7o5Vbg
Before I know what I'm doing, I walk straight into the bathroom.668Please respect copyright.PENANA2EDRfBlU5x
668Please respect copyright.PENANAWwSAfbNtjB
"Ah!" she shouts in surprise, completely naked, under the shower.668Please respect copyright.PENANAcqVz4ZX1Mz
668Please respect copyright.PENANAaa0ExGx7P2
"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.668Please respect copyright.PENANATut4viP1Db
668Please respect copyright.PENANA0lbz6YAJag
"You what? What did you remember?"668Please respect copyright.PENANAxvmnhzR29J
668Please respect copyright.PENANAvslntIhCpk
"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.668Please respect copyright.PENANAHvZsqkn4xE
668Please respect copyright.PENANAljfixfkWjx
"That's amazing, Caleb, I'm so happy! I'd hug you, but I'm wet, and you're sick."668Please respect copyright.PENANAQrIkZq6b05
668Please respect copyright.PENANATRF6VpDBjk
"You're wet?"668Please respect copyright.PENANAdPsPihPg06
668Please respect copyright.PENANAD4sT2AuT9h
"Shut up," she says grinning. 668Please respect copyright.PENANApRydTujKZW
668Please respect copyright.PENANACX4aovNAU1
"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.668Please respect copyright.PENANAZon74tmMj6
