So tell me the name of an idiot who decides to go out in the freezing cold of January London without even a Jacket?646Please respect copyright.PENANArzn1FMyb0w
646Please respect copyright.PENANAXZyWQNyBDw
Caleb Fucking Winters, that's who.646Please respect copyright.PENANA9y3zV6tpZ7
646Please respect copyright.PENANAt8bDAiF4R6
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.646Please respect copyright.PENANAUHJkiVXDA3
646Please respect copyright.PENANAfhn1qQDah3
"104.5. That's still high," she sighs. 646Please respect copyright.PENANAXy3g5rGFqb
646Please respect copyright.PENANADi56jnMhl1
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.646Please respect copyright.PENANAhfRRNkGhwA
646Please respect copyright.PENANAyEG3rVAPjE
Then, something occurs to me. 646Please respect copyright.PENANA614pOEOQyJ
646Please respect copyright.PENANAMK5s25EKT1
"Aren't you supposed to be at work?"646Please respect copyright.PENANAwkbvxPg6EU
646Please respect copyright.PENANAYABghVET6y
She looks at me as if I'm retarded.646Please respect copyright.PENANAYJPXEPJKVN
646Please respect copyright.PENANAORTFnXjzeW
"You're sick."646Please respect copyright.PENANAF7oEj9PBJ2
646Please respect copyright.PENANAC9TVDCRpKV
"You have a job."646Please respect copyright.PENANAoXGShVU4iE
646Please respect copyright.PENANA2AL7WFDRAG
"I also have a boyfriend who can't even breathe through his nose."646Please respect copyright.PENANAeLQWVxuJRx
646Please respect copyright.PENANA5O7wBh6LIS
"I can take care of myself," I insist, feeling like so many different kinds of shit. "Go to work," I order her. 646Please respect copyright.PENANAeVdGtWMnI1
646Please respect copyright.PENANAqJeh59MIDg
"No," she replies.646Please respect copyright.PENANAGzcvj6JDqV
646Please respect copyright.PENANA9Zzjgm93qI
"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.646Please respect copyright.PENANAMJ5UoT4m2A
646Please respect copyright.PENANASLHeLSR4Jz
"I'd rather not."646Please respect copyright.PENANAqTxkPL4uGI
646Please respect copyright.PENANAuOmAbfXaFK
I sigh in frustration.646Please respect copyright.PENANAsGvfnBs9Zu
646Please respect copyright.PENANAbmMKYcWiHZ
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.646Please respect copyright.PENANA1LC7OOuN1d
646Please respect copyright.PENANA9oE6R9diLJ
"Stop." 646Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9Ecb7dW1d
646Please respect copyright.PENANA7TVTtZrhxu
"Huh?" I say, at a complete loss as to what she is talking about.646Please respect copyright.PENANAWW5UTI8PZf
646Please respect copyright.PENANApzcyCHMB4U
"Stop blaming yourself. I don't mind missing work to take care of you; I really don't. Please stop being so dramatic."646Please respect copyright.PENANAJTFQ4QuN4d
646Please respect copyright.PENANAfgK6HbC8dg
I nod at her, saying nothing. She sighs.646Please respect copyright.PENANAWWgyTB2G3r
646Please respect copyright.PENANABXPgsARfp1
"Go to sleep, Caleb. You look tired."646Please respect copyright.PENANAsBdNdTsch3
646Please respect copyright.PENANAFETUijUpIi
I pretend that I didn't hear her.646Please respect copyright.PENANAUNEXZxbopN
646Please respect copyright.PENANARO8tbLd8xn
"I want to hear you play the violin."646Please respect copyright.PENANAMva32Tiw7E
646Please respect copyright.PENANA1qKpcoYhnM
She looks at me surprised.646Please respect copyright.PENANA4eCUHxuCWt
646Please respect copyright.PENANACyDhelfxW0
"I haven't played in a while—"646Please respect copyright.PENANAat7IrO2Njv
646Please respect copyright.PENANArdF8U3KKfT
"Then make something up," I say teasingly. She shoots me a glare and I backtrack.646Please respect copyright.PENANAuJozumWuL9
646Please respect copyright.PENANAt3KBYCYGFx
"Okay," I say, chuckling. "What about 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'"? 646Please respect copyright.PENANAMpj4P9CKxm
646Please respect copyright.PENANA437GO90G7U
She smiles at me.646Please respect copyright.PENANAOuQxxRcuqe
646Please respect copyright.PENANAmyFCcbnitW
"I would, but I don't have any rosin."646Please respect copyright.PENANA6NtkDonBYM
646Please respect copyright.PENANALHeRsDon1V
"Yes, you do. Look in the bottom of the bag."646Please respect copyright.PENANAlFSqE5NpIK
646Please respect copyright.PENANAFNK0TOX5Lo
She raises her eyebrow. "Did you plan to have me play for you?"646Please respect copyright.PENANAwqslhjjcb5
646Please respect copyright.PENANAmJhrrwHE5K
"Babe, I just wanted to give you the full package," I reply, pun unapologetically intended.646Please respect copyright.PENANAI1Wpjgvmcb
646Please respect copyright.PENANAxOXpIATEkI
Her smile broadens. "Glad to know."646Please respect copyright.PENANAhiZcWEnxdP
646Please respect copyright.PENANAvNSFv7TmZV
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.646Please respect copyright.PENANA9BAynXN6tm
646Please respect copyright.PENANAFNEh0HeISJ
"Okay. So, 'Twinkle Twinkle', right?" she asks, and I nod my head enthusiastically.646Please respect copyright.PENANA87ZhGHXQVX
646Please respect copyright.PENANA4gUObqSndQ
Then, she begins.646Please respect copyright.PENANAvJc9rHxqGf
646Please respect copyright.PENANA2D8cXayKHv
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.646Please respect copyright.PENANA95UnJA2iuy
646Please respect copyright.PENANA0Qt60Bftlc
When she turns back to me, she ignores my awed expression, and simply says:646Please respect copyright.PENANAER6nVOqTkj
646Please respect copyright.PENANAuW3UUIcAk6
"It's time to take your temperature again."646Please respect copyright.PENANA8jnNBt94B0
646Please respect copyright.PENANAVjF5iTiwbd
***646Please respect copyright.PENANAbUOtqEAPrv
646Please respect copyright.PENANAOa8JNCAXX3
"100.1. Better, but still a fever," Evetta says exasperated, sitting on the bed beside me.646Please respect copyright.PENANAacUyD8oLYp
646Please respect copyright.PENANACxr73lWInL
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?646Please respect copyright.PENANA9TRszrC8Lb
646Please respect copyright.PENANAtqdx1FpNiv
I sniff a little more, trying to figure it out. Apparently I'm not as inconspicuous as I thought, because she notices.646Please respect copyright.PENANABVMIBjaIDE
646Please respect copyright.PENANADGRCYL3Ydb
"It's my deodorant. It's natural deodorant, and I wiped my armpits with wet wipes and I put it on this morning."646Please respect copyright.PENANAg39nTHPvBb
646Please respect copyright.PENANAwUyxmWNZtL
What the fuck? That's so strange.646Please respect copyright.PENANAv8fWHZqpRo
646Please respect copyright.PENANAwKKdY9IVkF
"Why?"646Please respect copyright.PENANAjVPec8skjh
646Please respect copyright.PENANAAGBvCwEExP
"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.646Please respect copyright.PENANAT7eV4hhZ64
646Please respect copyright.PENANAmwPPF6owol
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.646Please respect copyright.PENANAFUofmrX8cB
646Please respect copyright.PENANACsFPABWxCN
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.646Please respect copyright.PENANALtFMoOF6GS
646Please respect copyright.PENANAaYgiyWkRaU
"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.646Please respect copyright.PENANA5YW4PeHeKo
646Please respect copyright.PENANA1Xix4Ey38o
She laughs; it's that warm, bubbly sound again.646Please respect copyright.PENANARgNlJOtBmq
646Please respect copyright.PENANA32qSnZK72M
"Try not to eat the bowl."646Please respect copyright.PENANAI69xMBjA5J
646Please respect copyright.PENANAUE4ZvvsFWo
She sets the trey down on the bed in front of me and goes into the bathroom to bathe.646Please respect copyright.PENANAL8UbOSALeA
646Please respect copyright.PENANA0DjsNNRzoj
I look down at the thick, orange liquid, and raise a spoonful to my lips and blow on it before drinking it.646Please respect copyright.PENANAMhsqq0CQne
646Please respect copyright.PENANAGGJZLetnSA
The taste is amazing; it's as if heaven has been brought down in the form of soup and presented to me.646Please respect copyright.PENANAmYljomLoRX
646Please respect copyright.PENANADFemcmF5Ub
However, as I am pulling the spoon out of my mouth, something hits me; something big.646Please respect copyright.PENANAnerZFoDcZy
646Please respect copyright.PENANAT41mh9Anf1
A memory.646Please respect copyright.PENANA7gei2sPiyX
646Please respect copyright.PENANAkmmfg2x0ch
A memory of Evetta feeding me this same dish, literally feeding me with the spoon, a flirtatious smile on her face.646Please respect copyright.PENANA12s4BIY7TS
646Please respect copyright.PENANABbIT1XFpRY
The my reaction.646Please respect copyright.PENANAlSmxDQN9Pf
646Please respect copyright.PENANApWqgkYJxFH
"Holy shit! That's amazing!"646Please respect copyright.PENANAvYpehkzQLb
646Please respect copyright.PENANA7KaZ0R7UMc
"You really think so?"646Please respect copyright.PENANAr1fq5Okgi7
646Please respect copyright.PENANAg5JB272hs9
"Yes, of course, darling." 646Please respect copyright.PENANA4J905wsUYE
646Please respect copyright.PENANA50HLG8J9uD
After which, we kissed.646Please respect copyright.PENANAJOXIMhIhfL
646Please respect copyright.PENANAB9GVvaT0RO
Before I know what I'm doing, I walk straight into the bathroom.646Please respect copyright.PENANAH112JsmzAM
646Please respect copyright.PENANAxULjPVgjBd
"Ah!" she shouts in surprise, completely naked, under the shower.646Please respect copyright.PENANA8KlAXQe9P0
646Please respect copyright.PENANAiP6wEhppch
"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.646Please respect copyright.PENANAxEngdSrYqT
646Please respect copyright.PENANA2ddyD00nKG
"You what? What did you remember?"646Please respect copyright.PENANAl26YrvWP63
646Please respect copyright.PENANASxIdMBnHMR
"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.646Please respect copyright.PENANAC8K6oI6YRF
646Please respect copyright.PENANAi3NMwLo9vS
"That's amazing, Caleb, I'm so happy! I'd hug you, but I'm wet, and you're sick."646Please respect copyright.PENANADCVmc6B77V
646Please respect copyright.PENANAmjUwPFnsHC
"You're wet?"646Please respect copyright.PENANAs7fXGDtotI
646Please respect copyright.PENANAzsBiOSGEzk
"Shut up," she says grinning. 646Please respect copyright.PENANAG3rTwbVHyA
646Please respect copyright.PENANAFVkI6VaAVE
"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.646Please respect copyright.PENANAba6Sbit1Bq
