I took a new bite of my burger while watching Rami and Sami, the pair of twins were catching up while we had lunch together. It was really interesting and fascinating to see the dynamic between them, but can you blame me? It's the first time I date with someone who has a twin ... although it was not that I dated many people in my life. And the way Sami and Rami talked, often letting unfinished sentences like if the other knew what the other was thinking. I heard about it with kids that were twins but I never imagine those things would last until adulthood so it was mesmerizing to witness.

Sami was narrating an anecdote about him and his students, I could sense that Sami was just as passionate about being a teacher like Rami about being an actor. These Malek boys...

- Little piglet - Rami whispered out of nowhere interrupting his brother, watching me. I stopped in the middle of my bite when Rami reached out and wiped the corner of my lips

- Thank you - I said blushing and with my mouth full, I was not used to Rami behaving like this with me like that in public and to do it in front of his twin brother was new, sweet and a little embarrassing.

- So Lucy... - I swallowed quickly when Sami turned to me after a couple of minutes - What the hell got you to date with... this - pointed to his brother in fake disgust, I laughed

- The news that he has a sexy twin, definitely - I answered and Sami surprisingly burst into laughter

- I like this girl - Sami said in his voice so different from Rami's

- Sometimes I'm not so sure - ended Rami giving the worst performance of his life to pretend he was upset with me. Usually I was not a PDA person but I leaned to leave a kiss on Rami's cheek that made him smile. Rami did me good, made me happy and in that moment I understood, in front of his brother that I  wanted everyone to know, I just did not know if the world was ready for that.

We walked inside the facilities of 20th century fox where a meeting would take place to talk about the last three months of filming, which included the recess for the Christmas and New Year holidays. Joe and Gwillym hurried to greet Sami, apparently they had known each other since long before. I noticed that Ben was talking on the phone with his back to us and watching through the window of the waiting room where we were. I approached to greet him as he finished the call

- What's up, Benny Boy? - I said putting my arm around his shoulders, I was surprised to see his sad face that smiled a little when he heard my nickname for him

- It's nothing - he said

- Sure thing and Earth is flat - I mocked

- Seriously, why do girls have to be so hard to understand? - he bursted to which I tried to hide my smile - Dating Joe would be easier - ended up exhausted

- Do you want to tell me about some girl? - I raised an eyebrow

- I'm just getting to know her...

- Guys c'mon in - Graham called us, followed by Jim and Newton, Bri and Rog and as was the custom without signs of life of our director Bryan.

- You owe me a talk - I warned Ben

- What about tonight - we started walking towards the meeting room, this time him with his arm on my shoulders - Do you have plans?
