So tell me the name of an idiot who decides to go out in the freezing cold of January London without even a Jacket?680Please respect copyright.PENANAjKZtCFzPKi
680Please respect copyright.PENANAK6QLQByHT7
Caleb Fucking Winters, that's who.680Please respect copyright.PENANAXKFpdo2J7r
680Please respect copyright.PENANAHgfjiGmkcP
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.680Please respect copyright.PENANAN0kmy6qXfu
680Please respect copyright.PENANA63X2oUxfph
"104.5. That's still high," she sighs. 680Please respect copyright.PENANAr8QnSfTjwC
680Please respect copyright.PENANAOnyjpFAlQu
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.680Please respect copyright.PENANACiZqdiL5Ej
680Please respect copyright.PENANAfNIeE97PtH
Then, something occurs to me. 680Please respect copyright.PENANAUfmZHDWJvS
680Please respect copyright.PENANAV1xZqJzw0R
"Aren't you supposed to be at work?"680Please respect copyright.PENANAZZ286ICHeX
680Please respect copyright.PENANAHNJ6uGPjF5
She looks at me as if I'm retarded.680Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8OA21DMMI
680Please respect copyright.PENANAWSg56OkQ55
"You're sick."680Please respect copyright.PENANALPVnmYPBCA
680Please respect copyright.PENANAq97XD0tHyb
"You have a job."680Please respect copyright.PENANAWcsUWju62r
680Please respect copyright.PENANACa2wgpFBwW
"I also have a boyfriend who can't even breathe through his nose."680Please respect copyright.PENANATlpuLAhT9s
680Please respect copyright.PENANAsAlteDBZcy
"I can take care of myself," I insist, feeling like so many different kinds of shit. "Go to work," I order her. 680Please respect copyright.PENANALmOR22ZVHT
680Please respect copyright.PENANAryr6YSNogg
"No," she replies.680Please respect copyright.PENANAMQFFwsV5Uw
680Please respect copyright.PENANA1thJtzrh67
"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.680Please respect copyright.PENANAm7WR6pLKd6
680Please respect copyright.PENANAvk1TfCJ1tT
"I'd rather not."680Please respect copyright.PENANAmiQqcrF5m9
680Please respect copyright.PENANAn2rsbFTCz4
I sigh in frustration.680Please respect copyright.PENANAMuqyMBMIpt
680Please respect copyright.PENANAlzo4KpOLsW
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.680Please respect copyright.PENANA5gphvwKPGv
680Please respect copyright.PENANAyY4i6G11wV
"Stop." 680Please respect copyright.PENANA04MTm5rVPz
680Please respect copyright.PENANARZCzoULSR2
"Huh?" I say, at a complete loss as to what she is talking about.680Please respect copyright.PENANArl1dNOtmA2
680Please respect copyright.PENANA5IojURx07h
"Stop blaming yourself. I don't mind missing work to take care of you; I really don't. Please stop being so dramatic."680Please respect copyright.PENANAGxQBEGdFaC
680Please respect copyright.PENANAfdjHQmOMcN
I nod at her, saying nothing. She sighs.680Please respect copyright.PENANA4HDkabZNew
680Please respect copyright.PENANAo8euBrizQN
"Go to sleep, Caleb. You look tired."680Please respect copyright.PENANAxuiO144BjC
680Please respect copyright.PENANA7WAZEz8aqe
I pretend that I didn't hear her.680Please respect copyright.PENANAhqkKmPn2JJ
680Please respect copyright.PENANAwUvpfSp8qI
"I want to hear you play the violin."680Please respect copyright.PENANAyogpkE6dix
680Please respect copyright.PENANAnGiLbCZHrO
She looks at me surprised.680Please respect copyright.PENANAuR4zvfHc1q
680Please respect copyright.PENANAlDUGR5BSn8
"I haven't played in a while—"680Please respect copyright.PENANAeUNMws6qFu
680Please respect copyright.PENANAKkatf8gL0k
"Then make something up," I say teasingly. She shoots me a glare and I backtrack.680Please respect copyright.PENANA2Wpq0QtRoj
680Please respect copyright.PENANA5cMvJylNN0
"Okay," I say, chuckling. "What about 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'"? 680Please respect copyright.PENANAKHnbUSqGp8
680Please respect copyright.PENANARuR3NVDatw
She smiles at me.680Please respect copyright.PENANAHbMvAUx3yN
680Please respect copyright.PENANAS9uO8vEmWY
"I would, but I don't have any rosin."680Please respect copyright.PENANAndfc38qzz0
680Please respect copyright.PENANAGNu5tRZtiC
"Yes, you do. Look in the bottom of the bag."680Please respect copyright.PENANAspNU7qnse4
680Please respect copyright.PENANA29HcQTX9UY
She raises her eyebrow. "Did you plan to have me play for you?"680Please respect copyright.PENANAdzW5RUbFWq
680Please respect copyright.PENANAfKME6CmJP3
"Babe, I just wanted to give you the full package," I reply, pun unapologetically intended.680Please respect copyright.PENANAROD6kIw4cF
680Please respect copyright.PENANAjC1YUsX0iz
Her smile broadens. "Glad to know."680Please respect copyright.PENANAOPk8j6LLJV
680Please respect copyright.PENANAj68O9OPxbj
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.680Please respect copyright.PENANAy8MbzOiGeS
680Please respect copyright.PENANANEiU8KFoQJ
"Okay. So, 'Twinkle Twinkle', right?" she asks, and I nod my head enthusiastically.680Please respect copyright.PENANAGXSaN1o9VY
680Please respect copyright.PENANAMi1SddfMxS
Then, she begins.680Please respect copyright.PENANAZoIf9qeqn5
680Please respect copyright.PENANAPE9ALz9xys
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.680Please respect copyright.PENANAXVwMGfU2xJ
680Please respect copyright.PENANA4nxLGHIA3U
When she turns back to me, she ignores my awed expression, and simply says:680Please respect copyright.PENANAX7jiW0boy2
680Please respect copyright.PENANA089sEhSQdi
"It's time to take your temperature again."680Please respect copyright.PENANAwEWJo3OQtf

***680Please respect copyright.PENANAYcchT2spBg
680Please respect copyright.PENANAh0z1lJ4m0L
"100.1. Better, but still a fever," Evetta says exasperated, sitting on the bed beside me.680Please respect copyright.PENANAIGKrE9vO16
680Please respect copyright.PENANAdv6oCMPO5S
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?680Please respect copyright.PENANAgOqDhJOhin
680Please respect copyright.PENANA6oc4yv57iX
I sniff a little more, trying to figure it out. Apparently I'm not as inconspicuous as I thought, because she notices.680Please respect copyright.PENANAsO07tXCPgX
680Please respect copyright.PENANAZRTrxTjad2
"It's my deodorant. It's natural deodorant, and I wiped my armpits with wet wipes and I put it on this morning."680Please respect copyright.PENANAtlRMkSnYP6
680Please respect copyright.PENANAmYVoKrzV7X
What the fuck? That's so strange.680Please respect copyright.PENANAohBNbWJNR1
680Please respect copyright.PENANA73oO2ab3qT
"Why?"680Please respect copyright.PENANA53vrAZ5n7w
680Please respect copyright.PENANAnYj1r1rplF
"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.680Please respect copyright.PENANAdnKzEQLbqT
680Please respect copyright.PENANAVWfEuIJwaK
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.680Please respect copyright.PENANAmdlqP5WoB9
680Please respect copyright.PENANAoC5wBFasn0
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.680Please respect copyright.PENANAqcpi04ALmM
680Please respect copyright.PENANAggwyN1RIdv
"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.680Please respect copyright.PENANA0qMc9A7lAI
680Please respect copyright.PENANAchcGmwZdr4
She laughs; it's that warm, bubbly sound again.680Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3lIESYaVj
680Please respect copyright.PENANANUvCpPDQUF
"Try not to eat the bowl."680Please respect copyright.PENANAa09oohkLqI
680Please respect copyright.PENANAsWUpzpFPeL
She sets the trey down on the bed in front of me and goes into the bathroom to bathe.680Please respect copyright.PENANATznV31E08u
680Please respect copyright.PENANAYvhNyyBYuJ
I look down at the thick, orange liquid, and raise a spoonful to my lips and blow on it before drinking it.680Please respect copyright.PENANA6ATpVLP5w1
680Please respect copyright.PENANApuXt6iOCtS
The taste is amazing; it's as if heaven has been brought down in the form of soup and presented to me.680Please respect copyright.PENANAeP6B3iQ7s4
680Please respect copyright.PENANA7W1UmWtNPD
However, as I am pulling the spoon out of my mouth, something hits me; something big.680Please respect copyright.PENANAF5o92FL2NB
680Please respect copyright.PENANA4o17hPfQTV
A memory.680Please respect copyright.PENANADSrWaOgLxk
680Please respect copyright.PENANAzD5ybfxtda
A memory of Evetta feeding me this same dish, literally feeding me with the spoon, a flirtatious smile on her face.680Please respect copyright.PENANA8pWByBq9GB
680Please respect copyright.PENANA97D97hA6ud
The my reaction.680Please respect copyright.PENANAwjd2FNdkIN
680Please respect copyright.PENANAKX4I6OQnIw
"Holy shit! That's amazing!"680Please respect copyright.PENANAw5l4ecRIEG
680Please respect copyright.PENANA6TxSjTThaG
"You really think so?"680Please respect copyright.PENANA3ARxRkkLiW
680Please respect copyright.PENANA9Tpxo4FNJ3
"Yes, of course, darling." 680Please respect copyright.PENANA78SMcqerlA
680Please respect copyright.PENANAP2V3upqIcj
After which, we kissed.680Please respect copyright.PENANAYvNMa3yWE3
680Please respect copyright.PENANAwVtClZDfgO
Before I know what I'm doing, I walk straight into the bathroom.680Please respect copyright.PENANAB24X3Jb0o1
680Please respect copyright.PENANAvUho805PR2
"Ah!" she shouts in surprise, completely naked, under the shower.680Please respect copyright.PENANAGmreLjEbo3
680Please respect copyright.PENANAsCUQx7BbKF
"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.680Please respect copyright.PENANAsLF65oBFqY
680Please respect copyright.PENANAOAiSxNdmyr
"You what? What did you remember?"680Please respect copyright.PENANAtvnu3u73ZE
680Please respect copyright.PENANA1k1d4t3y1O
"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.680Please respect copyright.PENANAlKr5eljIFN
680Please respect copyright.PENANANn5oWJN0ut
"That's amazing, Caleb, I'm so happy! I'd hug you, but I'm wet, and you're sick."680Please respect copyright.PENANAkPVP6croPB
680Please respect copyright.PENANAi8nDz7uA4F
"You're wet?"680Please respect copyright.PENANAaLbzi59Dj2
680Please respect copyright.PENANAFSdOB7tTsP
"Shut up," she says grinning. 680Please respect copyright.PENANAP2axGXk17G
680Please respect copyright.PENANAp6xSoTPQrz
"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.680Please respect copyright.PENANAFX5jBEpvuo
