七四 初到加州

靄青的飛機是從紐約肯尼迪機場起飛，在舊金山機場轉機北京。

從喬治的公寓開到機場三個多小時，兩人天沒亮就起床出發，一路上兩人跟著收音機一起高聲唱歌，喬治講笑話，靄青講成語故事。

兩人大唱大笑大說，靄青要把這最後的記憶成為最快樂的記憶。

路上有些堵車，距離起飛兩個小時，才到達機場，從後備箱拿出行李，靄青拍了拍手，“我走啦。喬治，我感謝生活中遇到你。你多保重。”

喬治也不說話，一把抱住吻了起來。

這一吻，直讓靄青腿發軟，“喬治，我晚了。”

喬治摟著她不放開，“靄青，我愛你，我真的愛你。”

靄青抬眼看著他，她也愛他，真的愛他，她這時說不出口，因為飛機就要趕不上了。

“靄青，我們結婚吧。”喬治終於說出來了。

靄青瞪大雙眼看著他。

“我的生活裏不能沒有你，嫁給我吧。”

靄青眨了眨眼。

沒等她回答，喬治摟緊她吻了起來。

接下來就是退票等一係列手續。

再接下來就是市政廳登記結婚。

再再接下來就是申請綠卡。

還沒喘息過來，靄青和喬治已經在舊金山機場著陸了。

來接機竟然是凱文。

“哈嘍！”看到他們二人，凱文英俊帥氣的臉上綻開笑容，露出整齊雪白的牙齒，“我先恭喜你們。”

凱文和喬治握手擁抱，凱文轉過身來，緊緊抱住靄青。

“嗨嗨嗨，”喬治看不下去了，推開凱文。

凱文笑道，“我早就跟你說過，娶了這個姑娘。艾昆，是我說服他的。”

“她叫靄青，”喬治糾正他，“以後你想來我家吃她的餡餅，你先把名字叫對。”

“對不起，叫錯名字你怎麽不糾正呢。”凱文口氣裏好像錯的是靄青。

喬治和靄青的家先借居在凱文的客房。

有工作的人和窮學生就是不一樣，凱文現在住的地方是兩室一廳一衛的公寓，他把一間臥室改作書房，現在加了一個氣墊床，讓給喬治做臥室。

“這個氣墊床是我野營用的，應該非常結實，不過你們倆動作得輕點，別給我壓壞了。”

“我去！”喬治回了他一句。

靄青看凱文心情不錯，想起琳琳，“我一直沒有和琳琳聯係上，你呢？”

凱文收了嬉笑，“沒有。我給她時間恢複，我等她。”

“唉，凱文。”靄青拍了拍凱文。

靄青是東岸時間，比加州早三個小時，旅行一天，有些疲倦了，先洗洗準備睡覺，在浴室聽見喬治和凱文在客廳裏彈唱，帶著悲哀。

Against All Odds by Phil Collins

How can I just let you walk away

Just let you leave without a trace?

When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh ooh

You're the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me

When all I can do is watch you leave?

'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain

And even shared the tears

You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now

Well there's just an empty space

And there's nothing left here to remind me

Just the memory of your face

Ooh, take a look at me now

Well there's just an empty space

And you coming back to me is against the odds

And that's what I've got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around

Turn around and see me cry

There's so much I need to say to you

So many reasons why

You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now

Well there's just an empty space

And there's nothing left here to remind me

Just the memory of your face

Now Take a look at me now

'Cause that's just an empty space

But to wait for you is all I can do

And that's what I've got to face

Take a good look at me now

'Cause I'll still be standing here

And you coming back to me is against all odds

It's the chance I've got to take

Take a look at me now

 

靄青聽得淚流滿麵，她坐在馬桶蓋上，給琳琳發郵件：不管發生了什麽，都已經過去，你不知道凱文有多愛你，你不知道他有多傷心，回來吧，回到他身邊，去愛他，讓他愛你，撫平你的傷痕。等你，愛你的靄青。

發完信，靄青又呆呆想了一會兒琳琳，回憶三個室友在一起的時光，哦，對了，給麗穎發個郵件，她住的離這裏不遠。

靄青從紙巾盒裏抽出兩張，擦幹眼睛，接著用這兩張紙巾擦幹洗漱台，正要把髒紙巾扔進垃圾桶，看見一根長頭發，一根金色長頭發。

等一等，等一等，靄青有種上當的感覺。

凱文對琳琳到底有沒有真心？

靄青又拿起手機，怎麽跟琳琳說？如果琳琳看到她剛才發出的信，突然回心轉意，到這兒一看，凱文已經移情別戀，琳琳豈不是受二次傷害。

靄青猶豫了，隻憑一根頭發，不能輕易下結論，要不和麗穎商量一下？

麗穎，我今天到達灣區，期待和你見麵。

靄青躺在氣墊床上，思前想後，睡不著，外麵喬治和凱文還在斷斷續續的，聊幾句，唱幾句，彈幾段。

靄青聽出其中一首，是凱文曾經要學生樂隊唱給琳琳的，紅衣女郎，

The Lady in Red by Chris de Burgh

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight

I've never seen you shine so bright

I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance

They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance

And I have never seen that dress you're wearing

Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes

I have been blind

The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek

There's nobody here, it's just you and me

It's where I want to be

But I hardly know this beauty by my side

I'll never forget the way you look tonight

I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight

I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing

I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side

And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away

And I have never had such a feeling

Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight

The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek

There's nobody here, it's just you and me

It's where I want to be

But I hardly know this beauty by my side

I'll never forget the way you look tonight

I never will forget the way you look tonight

The lady in red, the lady in red

The lady in red, my lady in red

I love you

終於，喬治洗了澡，進入房間，“你還沒睡？”

靄青捏著那根金發，舉在燈下。

喬治看了一眼，“什麽？”

“凱文浴室裏發現的。”

喬治哦了一下。

靄青壓低聲音，“凱文有女朋友了？”

“他沒說過。我想不會吧，他等琳琳。”

“那這個怎麽解釋？”

“可能是來訪朋友的，再說，”喬治抬起靄青的臉，“男人是有需求的，我不指望凱文是個苦行僧，他愛琳琳，這兒，還有這兒，”他指著自己的心和頭，“這裏沒感情。”他又指了指下邊。

“你也這樣？”靄青捏住他。

“我隻屬於你。”喬治的手滑向靄青敏感部位。
