Before Bassem could reply, a loud laugh sounded from the hallway. He already knew who it was. It was Basil. He walked into the room.
“What are you doing to my maids?” Bassem asked Basil.
“What? I didn’t do anything,” he replied.
“I heard that flirtatious laugh.”
Basil shrugged his shoulders and looked at Blake. “Blake is here,” he said as he approached her. He lowered his torso and kissed her on both cheeks.
“How are you?” she asked him.
“I’m fine.” He planted himself on the sofa next to her. “Is my brother making you work on a Saturday?”
“Why are you here?” Bassem asked Basil.
“I came to spend time with my older brother.” He grinned at Bassem.
“You’re the younger twin?” Blake asked Basil.
“By four minutes and eighteen seconds.”
Blake laughed in response. “I see,” she said. Bassem crossed his eyebrows. Blake and Basil seemed to be close. It didn’t surprise him. His brother was always popular with women. However, Bassem found himself not wanting his brother to get close to Blake. He didn’t understand why it bothered him, but he just didn’t want his brother developing a romantic interest in her.
“We were actually discussing business before you walked in,” Bassem said to his brother.
“Okay, you may continue. Don’t mind me.” He pulled his phone out of his pocket. Bassem shook his head. His brother was always relaxed and never doing anything productive with his time.
“Call me if there is anything that needs to be paid for while I’m not around,” Bassem said to Blake.
“Call you directly?” Basil asked.
“Yes,” Bassem answered his brother. He fished his phone out of his pocket and put it on the table. “Key your number in,” he said to her.
“Yes sir.” Blake took his phone and keyed her number into it. She called her phone and saved Bassem’s number. Basil was sitting next to her and watching her the entire time. He looked rather amused.
“My brother never gives out his personal cell phone number to anyone that’s not family or that he’s not sleeping with,” said Basil. Bassem rolled his eyes. Blake slowly raised her head and looked at Bassem.
“Really? Why not?” she asked him.
“He’s antisocial.”
“I am not antisocial,” Bassem retorted. Blake smiled and put his phone on the table for him. Basil laughed as he rose to his feet.
“I have to go,” he said. “There is someone I must meet.”
“It was good to see you again,” Blake said to him.
“Likewise.” He rubbed her shoulder before he left the room.
Bassem sighed after his brother had left. Basil had interrupted their conversation. He couldn’t even remember what else there was to discuss with Blake because he had lost his train of thought.
“You and Basil seem close,” Blake said with a smile.
“We have no choice since we are brothers,” he replied.
“I have no siblings.”
“You don’t?”
