So tell me the name of an idiot who decides to go out in the freezing cold of January London without even a Jacket?663Please respect copyright.PENANAW9ZGAlUHWF
663Please respect copyright.PENANAvyaH8nhnhD
Caleb Fucking Winters, that's who.663Please respect copyright.PENANA7pXjClIwy6
663Please respect copyright.PENANAhj8N5spQ9I
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.663Please respect copyright.PENANAjkVlpouN7x
663Please respect copyright.PENANAgBLgzDCBCX
"104.5. That's still high," she sighs. 663Please respect copyright.PENANA1IqHPyOQWG
663Please respect copyright.PENANA9y5RgaTREg
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.663Please respect copyright.PENANAA80YgZsRIl
663Please respect copyright.PENANAJXew9b1mCK
Then, something occurs to me. 663Please respect copyright.PENANAHIgaxewgVo
663Please respect copyright.PENANAGMKuu7B0wL
"Aren't you supposed to be at work?"663Please respect copyright.PENANANITljprZ1C
663Please respect copyright.PENANAmqQVJUMiXE
She looks at me as if I'm retarded.663Please respect copyright.PENANAul4F5XXImf
663Please respect copyright.PENANAk2hpp9Rdk6
"You're sick."663Please respect copyright.PENANAJSputEjJWz
663Please respect copyright.PENANAsXBtQxs6oV
"You have a job."663Please respect copyright.PENANAl09wbXj3Db
663Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZDeuy436e
"I also have a boyfriend who can't even breathe through his nose."663Please respect copyright.PENANAEoMsiOBZwh
663Please respect copyright.PENANAyUiArne7cq
"I can take care of myself," I insist, feeling like so many different kinds of shit. "Go to work," I order her. 663Please respect copyright.PENANAh7Klf8cjLw
663Please respect copyright.PENANADrtLNP004m
"No," she replies.663Please respect copyright.PENANAD3RMT1gb2q
663Please respect copyright.PENANAp3KuJdgTFM
"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.663Please respect copyright.PENANAOlYcdl5qAw
663Please respect copyright.PENANAtt4PAIVRSi
"I'd rather not."663Please respect copyright.PENANA6hvyrRlK3z
663Please respect copyright.PENANAXtJ4KNgcTg
I sigh in frustration.663Please respect copyright.PENANAS6AwkFtYXE
663Please respect copyright.PENANAjLnak1rApI
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.663Please respect copyright.PENANAfdQzdM3Gu6
663Please respect copyright.PENANAW5VogCqWfM
"Stop." 663Please respect copyright.PENANAqGcfWMO0pu
663Please respect copyright.PENANA6WG0ntibRT
"Huh?" I say, at a complete loss as to what she is talking about.663Please respect copyright.PENANA9Xe9b7qgZn
663Please respect copyright.PENANAyAdERLZA8U
"Stop blaming yourself. I don't mind missing work to take care of you; I really don't. Please stop being so dramatic."663Please respect copyright.PENANA0WIHIk8wsi
663Please respect copyright.PENANA3u4PoT7nh4
I nod at her, saying nothing. She sighs.663Please respect copyright.PENANAgvF05l4vxL
663Please respect copyright.PENANAa0yDrAfx4I
"Go to sleep, Caleb. You look tired."663Please respect copyright.PENANADqWQ33clTs
663Please respect copyright.PENANAIKceD7pqSm
I pretend that I didn't hear her.663Please respect copyright.PENANANZeps7dhFO
663Please respect copyright.PENANA4XTHDcVxhr
"I want to hear you play the violin."663Please respect copyright.PENANArJquEsZMFy
663Please respect copyright.PENANA86rXGp4NDl
She looks at me surprised.663Please respect copyright.PENANANi4ajEumGA
663Please respect copyright.PENANA26ONgYyR6R
"I haven't played in a while—"663Please respect copyright.PENANALEDbn4ZW5v
663Please respect copyright.PENANAg6ZXt9MeIy
"Then make something up," I say teasingly. She shoots me a glare and I backtrack.663Please respect copyright.PENANAtnsyQjcM83
663Please respect copyright.PENANAFzMaaqj24c
"Okay," I say, chuckling. "What about 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'"? 663Please respect copyright.PENANAr4qFjjry1S
663Please respect copyright.PENANAVl7Cgb2c5A
She smiles at me.663Please respect copyright.PENANAi2oxTUu7MI
663Please respect copyright.PENANARsoALwafyV
"I would, but I don't have any rosin."663Please respect copyright.PENANAZlpNP2VOkN
663Please respect copyright.PENANAYeZGgk9SHM
"Yes, you do. Look in the bottom of the bag."663Please respect copyright.PENANAmm1G9RF2Xg
663Please respect copyright.PENANAq5feuHkDgt
She raises her eyebrow. "Did you plan to have me play for you?"663Please respect copyright.PENANAtkY9jHQQvS
663Please respect copyright.PENANAOfRkjhjZLL
"Babe, I just wanted to give you the full package," I reply, pun unapologetically intended.663Please respect copyright.PENANAxaT0Rn5NA5
663Please respect copyright.PENANAF68UDBKxci
Her smile broadens. "Glad to know."663Please respect copyright.PENANABxbJtrAPYX
663Please respect copyright.PENANAK2vGge1HlF
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.663Please respect copyright.PENANAJX62yuaV7W
663Please respect copyright.PENANACNhNj40Uim
"Okay. So, 'Twinkle Twinkle', right?" she asks, and I nod my head enthusiastically.663Please respect copyright.PENANAVcbewczDzW
663Please respect copyright.PENANAXq2YbPCT8Z
Then, she begins.663Please respect copyright.PENANAVnZaV2sU5x
663Please respect copyright.PENANAF8sTW787Fp
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.663Please respect copyright.PENANAxWQaGny7zl
663Please respect copyright.PENANAzkfv0OQdpL
When she turns back to me, she ignores my awed expression, and simply says:663Please respect copyright.PENANAVuxvOVGrrE
663Please respect copyright.PENANAoPohw2dURP
"It's time to take your temperature again."663Please respect copyright.PENANA4nmUSOczlo
663Please respect copyright.PENANAXKCs9slRWQ
***663Please respect copyright.PENANAJiaB09vxkR
663Please respect copyright.PENANAuwTi2b0SA3
"100.1. Better, but still a fever," Evetta says exasperated, sitting on the bed beside me.663Please respect copyright.PENANAM017uCqah7
663Please respect copyright.PENANAIqddAixaYh
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?663Please respect copyright.PENANAyMmoPB4jBs
663Please respect copyright.PENANAiLVhYKf0uY
I sniff a little more, trying to figure it out. Apparently I'm not as inconspicuous as I thought, because she notices.663Please respect copyright.PENANAEJhGzu5SYs
663Please respect copyright.PENANATeNnI9vKs1
"It's my deodorant. It's natural deodorant, and I wiped my armpits with wet wipes and I put it on this morning."663Please respect copyright.PENANA1NR47mP4rK
663Please respect copyright.PENANApe7Xj81VJJ
What the fuck? That's so strange.663Please respect copyright.PENANAWEMNO8mg07
663Please respect copyright.PENANAE1jdmPlvjc
"Why?"663Please respect copyright.PENANAQMU1CI3qke
663Please respect copyright.PENANAqj6pFgEtsG
"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.663Please respect copyright.PENANAOJA02J5aAC
663Please respect copyright.PENANAwcImShoH4R
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.663Please respect copyright.PENANAnt2akdygf2
663Please respect copyright.PENANAmlVGeuVZpT
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.663Please respect copyright.PENANAQgmXJhZBkX
663Please respect copyright.PENANA6mZSGDGErQ
"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.663Please respect copyright.PENANAvvrSHDWeS7
663Please respect copyright.PENANAFNHFT1I2fx
She laughs; it's that warm, bubbly sound again.663Please respect copyright.PENANAC7p4tRnyLd
663Please respect copyright.PENANAvmaMeRwFzc
"Try not to eat the bowl."663Please respect copyright.PENANAWhHVjShImI
663Please respect copyright.PENANAGbqFVK82Jq
She sets the trey down on the bed in front of me and goes into the bathroom to bathe.663Please respect copyright.PENANAZDD3q7I73g
663Please respect copyright.PENANAOU0hbVCVKS
I look down at the thick, orange liquid, and raise a spoonful to my lips and blow on it before drinking it.663Please respect copyright.PENANA3Z9Va5YPUF
663Please respect copyright.PENANAjO62076MjE
The taste is amazing; it's as if heaven has been brought down in the form of soup and presented to me.663Please respect copyright.PENANAIfGeCu1WzF
663Please respect copyright.PENANAupOS9J32lQ
However, as I am pulling the spoon out of my mouth, something hits me; something big.663Please respect copyright.PENANATUUb3ahkKu
663Please respect copyright.PENANAx2TbRoHkhH
A memory.663Please respect copyright.PENANAz768SnrOei
663Please respect copyright.PENANAbLj3qKAvdt
A memory of Evetta feeding me this same dish, literally feeding me with the spoon, a flirtatious smile on her face.663Please respect copyright.PENANAXY3XZ9kxhQ
663Please respect copyright.PENANA8fAzY3aQi6
The my reaction.663Please respect copyright.PENANAGKzBlUzUWK
663Please respect copyright.PENANA7H32L2og9F
"Holy shit! That's amazing!"663Please respect copyright.PENANAmNUIpZPHvP
663Please respect copyright.PENANAZh1XSoQ3cd
"You really think so?"663Please respect copyright.PENANAwDpu6AItUf
663Please respect copyright.PENANAzonG6jC8Xe
"Yes, of course, darling." 663Please respect copyright.PENANAo6aKDv2Dhg
663Please respect copyright.PENANA1C1kqns9q2
After which, we kissed.663Please respect copyright.PENANAD65LrZQjTg
663Please respect copyright.PENANAjbovRgTZmq
Before I know what I'm doing, I walk straight into the bathroom.663Please respect copyright.PENANALJaW8lBobR
663Please respect copyright.PENANAbWZ96xI6W8
"Ah!" she shouts in surprise, completely naked, under the shower.663Please respect copyright.PENANAY67jNDsj1E
663Please respect copyright.PENANAiX6UsoxUdF
"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.663Please respect copyright.PENANAa0xiS2iwbd
663Please respect copyright.PENANAjOB4m3o1kc
"You what? What did you remember?"663Please respect copyright.PENANAwGaLXYa7oU
663Please respect copyright.PENANAhNPKkpsCIj
"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.663Please respect copyright.PENANAuoB6R0OoZj
663Please respect copyright.PENANArgmeqEHiu6
"That's amazing, Caleb, I'm so happy! I'd hug you, but I'm wet, and you're sick."663Please respect copyright.PENANAvkNRDDI9iK
663Please respect copyright.PENANAr8wxhgK4bF
"You're wet?"663Please respect copyright.PENANAb5aX8qm4pu
663Please respect copyright.PENANAfWIrNNmbYP
"Shut up," she says grinning. 663Please respect copyright.PENANAAtvz2W4LL9
663Please respect copyright.PENANAqVuCs1aPib
"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.663Please respect copyright.PENANAqclwDMSrd5
