“You should have corrected her.”
“And spoil the fun?” Basil started laughing. “I’m surprised that she didn’t say anything to you.”
“So am I.” Bassem picked up a fork and started eating.
“I feel bad for her. I must make it up to her,” Basil replied. He picked up his glass and took a sip of his drink.
“What are your intentions?”
Basil put his hands up. “Oh no, it’s not like that at all,” he said. Bassem raised an eyebrow.
“You’re not attracted to her?” he asked.
“No, I’m not. She is an attractive woman but she seems a little bit too serious for me.”
Bassem shook his head. “You like them wild and freaky,” he said.
“Exactly.” Basil grinned.
“Just make sure you don’t end up in the tabloids again,” Bassem warned.
“I won’t.” Basil cut a piece of his lamb and ate it. “What are you going to do with this house when you’re finished building your new home?” he asked.
“I’ll sell it.”
“You should have just stayed in a hotel.”
“I don’t like hotels.”
“If it weren’t for the fact that we are identical, I’d think that we weren’t brothers at all,” said Basil. Bassem looked at his brother.
“Please elaborate,” he said.
“We are so different.”
“Siblings don’t always have to have a lot in common all the time.”
“You’re also strange. Who doesn’t like hotels?” Basil shook his head.
“Public places are always crawling with germs,” Bassem replied.
“They have cleaners at hotels.”
“There are too many people at hotels. You know how I like my privacy.”
“I agree with that. There’s a lack of privacy in hotels.”
The two brothers enjoyed a light conversation as they ate their dinner. Basil contributed the most to the conversation. He was always the more vocal twin.

Blake was just sitting at her office desk working when a loud knock on the door disturbed her thoughts. She looked up from her laptop and called out, “Come in!”
The door swung open and in walked Bassem or Basil. Blake was not sure which one of the brothers it was. She rose to her feet and stared at the tall, muscular, handsome man as he walked towards her. She studied him for clues as to his identity.
“Basil,” she said at last. He flashed a toothy grin.
“How could you tell?” he asked her.
