我心里犹豫着，但还是点点头。

客厅很大，零星几件浅色家具，清清爽爽的。一个将指甲修剪得整整齐齐的单身男子的公寓就应当是这样的。唯一的装饰是墙上几张照片：jimmy的，emma的，也有peter 与jessica的影。两人头上戴着潜水镜，背景是碧海蓝天。当然还有peter办公桌上的那张全家福。照片上所有的人都笑眯眯地看着我。在这么多双眼睛的注视下，我很局促地坐在沙发上。

peter随手打开电视，将遥控器递给我说：“愿意看什么，你自己选。”

他的语气和眼神触动了我意识里另一个隐秘角落里的心思：我选了，不好看怎么办？

我一按调台键，竟然是cctv的新闻联播，突然间我意识到爸爸妈妈应该在等我吃晚饭。我有点慌，对着peter的背影问：“peter, 我可以借你的电话吗？”

peter人已经在厨房门口，听我这一问，迅速转过身来，看我一眼，一指小角桌上的红色电话，一笑说：“打给爸爸妈妈？电话在那里，打吧。”说完扭头进了厨房。

电话是妈妈接的。她果然在着急：“呼了你那么多次，怎么连个电话也不？你爸和我都开始着急了！”

“跟老出去见客户，呼机关了。哥来了吗？”在家里哥哥是我永远的盟友，此刻我搬出他来打岔。

“你哥今天跟几个朋友玩儿去了。你们兄妹俩一个脾气，有事儿家晚连个招呼也不打！你哥是男孩子还有情可原，你一个姑娘家，也这么着！我今天做了你们最爱吃的红烧排骨，结果一个都不来”我妈听起来是真不高兴了。

“好了好了，老妈！我现在就坐车家。今天我也很辛苦，正好吃你烧的排骨补补。”放了电话，我心里还在咚咚地跳。

peter站在厨房门口，远远地看着我说：“我陪你下去。”<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddot> <w:view>normal</w:view> <w:zoom></w:zoom> <w:trackmoves/> <w:traatting/> <w:donotshowrevisions/> <w:donotprintrevisions/>
