J: Okay. First button,second button. Oh,nice! A rain shower! That’s cool!
A: What’s a Fu?сking rain shower?
J: I don’t know,but it took half your health away.
A: You see this one?
J: Uh-huh.
A: It’s the clutch(离合器).You grip it,then you shift. One,neutral,t?wo,and three.Okay?
J: Okay.
A: You think you can do that?
J: I guess we’ll find out.
A: Okay.
J: Whoa…Whoa…
A: Take it easy. Take it easy.
J: Okay.
A: How old were you here?
J: I was about 8.
A: This is your family?
J: Mm-hmm.
A: You look more…more like your mom.
J: That’s what people say.
A: Who’s the girl?
J: Oh,that’s Lauren.My step sister.
A: She’s Asian?
J: Uh-huh,Chinese.
A: So,your step dad is Chinese,then?
J: Mm-hmm,there’s a picture of him in there somewhere. There he is.
A: How did they meet,him and your mom?
J: They belong to the same church. They’ve been married about 10 years now.
A: (laugh…)
J: Oh,skip that page,please.
A: Is this really you?
J: Yeah,back in the day when I was fat and hated myself.
A: And you bleached(染) your hair?
J: Well,I was going for surfer blond(波浪金发),but came out pumpkin orange(橙色南瓜头).
A: When did you come out?
J: In college,senior year.
A: So,Mark was around.
J: Mm-hmm. He came out a week before I did.
A: A week? Why a week?
J: Well ,he called me one day and wanted me to meet him at the library.There was a spot there that was really secluded and private. So it was me and three other girls.And we just sat there ,wondering what was happening.And he just blurted it out,you know,just like that.
A: Unexpected.
J: Yeah. And this was before we had any kind of support group on campus.I was stunned(震?惊).But everyone else was really happy and supportive of him.I think I might ha?ve said something like“way to go”or something really stupid like that,you know?I called him a week after and told him that I was.But he was really pissed that I didn’t back him up the week before.
A: It’s was too late.
J: Well,yeah,I mean,he was expecting me to come out right then,too.
A: I had a friend in high school.He sat next to me in all my classes.We were quite close,but I was in love with him.And he would torture(折磨) me with stories about the girls he was ha?ving s?ex with,you know. O(∩_∩)O~
J: Typical.
A: I saw him again recently.Say,a month ago,at the market.It must ha?ve been at least 15 years since I last saw him.
J: That’s a long time.
A: He’s married.He has t?wo kids.The real family man,you know?
J: Mm-hmm.
A: He was very excited to see me.He asked for my number.Said “We should get together for a drink sometime”.
J: Mm-hmm.
A: But I don’t know if I want to see him again.
J: Why not?
A: Oh,he’s gonna ask about me if I’m married,if I ha?ve a girlfriend.
J: Oh,right,right.
A: And then I ha?ve to tell him,like,Yeah,I used to jerk off thinking about you Fu?сking your girlfriend.
J: Yeah,that probably won’t go over very well.
A: Not at all. The funny thing is that I still dream about him sometimes.Like,once every year.I ha?ve a dream about being in high school with Glaniuca(赞布罗塔).
J: I’ve been ha?ving dream about Mark.It’s like we’re back in college.And,you know,just hanging out,doing whatever.I can actually SΜell his deodorant(除臭剂).And see this red sweater that he used to always wear.That was hideous(丑陋).Then I can feel him sitting next to me. Everything is just so vivid and real,you know?And then I wake up.
J: Umm..This pesto is great. Your mom must be a good cook.
A: Yeah,but when she’s in a bad mood,she cooks like shit(粪便).
J: Here,put some of this on your chicken.
A: Umm…What is it?
J: It’s peach juice(蜜?桃汁).Mixed with yogurt and mustard(芥末).(会去试试~~)
A: Wow,your owe recipe?
J: Well,it was an accidental discovery at a buffet(自助餐).You See,my sister and I,we had a dare that we’ll try anything we’d put together.So she did a jello-and-green-bean-casserolem mix(果冻绿豆加炖锅菜).And it was rerrible.I did a sauce with orange juice,mustard,and vanilla ice cream(橙汁芥末加香草冰激凌).And it actually wasn’t bad.But I thought,you know,this may taste better.If I substitute the orange with peach and the ice cream with yogurt.Then I added a dash of nutmeg(肉?豆蔻) for balance. Volla!
A: I like the potatao curry,too.I don’t usually eat Indian foot,but this one has a unique taste.It’s not too spicy(辣).
J: It’s the chardonnay.It’s works wonders with curry(咖喱).
A: You should be a chef.
J: I’m way past the age of changing careers.
A: It’s never too late.In the end,it’s better late than never. To Mark.
J: To Mark. Who’s your best friend in Italy?
A: Hmm…that would be Diego.
J: And what’s he like?
A: He’s my age,slightly taller,naturally tanned(古铜色) skin.
J: How old are you,anyway?
A: 34.You?
J: 29.
A: Oh,yeah?
H: Um-hmm.( Sinister smile )
A: What year were you born?
J: 1978
A: Shouldn’t it be 77? I wouldn’t want you to be my financial planner,man!
J: All right,you got me.I’m the same age as Mark.Anyway,I interrupted you about Diego.
A: Oh,where was I?
J: Amm…slightly taller,naturally tanned skin.
A: Yeah,Uh,he’s very exotic looking.He’s half-Lebanese.
J: Mm,sounds hot.
A: Yes,he is.
J: Were you intimate with Dieao?
A: No.
J: Not even a drunken incident that ended on someone’s bes?
A: We met through my ex-girlfriend.They’re together now,so…
J: You had a girlfriend?
A: Yeah.
J: How long?
A: Six years?
J: No kidding.
A:She’s one of those people I like being with.We get along pretty well.
J: So,what happened?
A: I found out that she was missing a dick! We have known each other since high school.I didn’t come out until my mid-twenties.But she always knew.Just like Mark knew about you in college.
J: He was married once.
A: Oh,yeah?
J: Mm-hmm. Well,it was an arrangement.
A: What do you mean?
J: Well,he had this friend that he used to work with that was from Venezuela,and she was really wanted to stay here.So they got hitched so she could get her green card.
A: Did she pay him for doing that?
J: No,he just did her the favor.That’s what Mark was like.He would do almost anything for the people he cared about.
A: I want to ask you. Um..
J: What?
A: The accident. How did that happen?
J: He was on his way to wrok. An 18-wheeler switched over to his lane(车道).So he swerved into a faster lane to avoid it.And got rear-ended(追尾) by a speeding truck.His car flipped over.
A: What happened to the other driver?
J: He was hurt,but it wasn’t critical.
A: When did you find out?
J: His dad called me. I was in Houston visiting my mom. Flew back and went straight to the hospital. He was in a coma. He had a massive Brian injury.He died the next day.One of the nurses said that when they first brought him in. He was still conscious. I just wished I was there,you know? Have you ever heard that when someone dies that there’s usually a sign beforehand?Like,even if it’s unexpected?
A: Yeah. When my grandma passed away,the day before she died.She was talking to someone in her room,like,having a real conversation.But there was nobody there.
J: You see,Mark was really adamant(坚硬的) about doing his laundry.He never let his dirty clothes pile up.It was just one of his things,but,um…I was there a week afther he died.And his laundry basket was overflowing.I had never seen that before. Maybe that was the clue.That he didn’t have to do his laundry anymore.
A: What was the last thing he said to you?
J: Um..Bye?Good-bye?
A: No,I mean,before good-bye. Do you remember what he said?
J: No,I don’t know.I’d have to think about it. What was the last thing he said to you?
A: We talked on the phone a couple of days before the accident.And he said…
J: What did he say?
A: It’s kind of cheesy(肉麻). Promise not to laugh?
J: Yes.
A: You promised.
J: Yes,I promise.
A: He said…"I cannot wait to hold you in my arms”. |
