Purple Romance

Watching them from a distance, Leslie, the twin brother of Andy had a look of shock written all over his face as he stood next to Godiva at the entrance of the restaurant.

''Sister Godiva, is that really my little brother?'' Leslie couldn't believe the scene in front of him. His brother whom he had assumed hated girls was actually bickering with a girl with no care in the world? ''Are you sure he isn't a possessed Andy? What if an alien took over his body?''

''Stop being ridiculous. Andy would have been like this a long time ago if that incident hadn't happened. Leave them alone'' Godiva said to Leslie knowing well the character of the latter.

''Yeah, the damn girl. I hope she never finds happiness in this world. She totally crushed the fantasy like dreams of my dear brother''

''But, what about you? What are you doing here?'' Godiva asked him. It was still early and he wasn't even the one who managed the hotels, so she was sure, he had only come to witness the scene in front of them but still asked.

''Can't you tell what I came for? But, that woman is cute. She is thick and curvy, but the last time I checked, slender girls are his type. When did he change his preference without telling me first?'' he spoke as if he desired to know every little thing going on in his brother's life.

Godiva smacked his head and said to him, ''you don't even have a type because you change women every day. Who deserves to know about the preference of the other first? Sometimes those blind girls attack Andy thinking he is you and he has to do a lot of explanation and was forced to get a tattoo on his wrist to show them you two are different'' Godiva glared at Leslie who smirked.

She wasn't wrong in that sense. A lot of the girls he goes out with always end up mistaking Andy for him. Even with the tattoo on wrist, they still don't believe him until he shows them a picture of the two of them.

But, Leslie felt that he was lucky to be born a twin. Andy was always cleaning after him when they were in high school but now, he had mustered his game and was flawless in his pursuit of his own definition of happiness, which was a no strings attached relationship. Where they both get what they wanted and leave.

Unfortunately, the girls just keep bugging him for more, so he ends up giving them a compensation fee and breaking things off completely. He was now on the quest to find someone who thought like him. A person who didn't believe in this shit called love, whom he can just have fun with and then leave with no lingering feelings.

Andy was different. He was a firm believer of love and happiness. He believed that everyone had someone special for them. unfortunately, this believe was shattered a long time ago by his first love and girlfriend who found him too boring and stiff.

Since then, Andy had closed his heart towards women. He was still considered and kind towards women but he always kept an appropriate distance between them. He never made them misunderstand his actions and he never bickered with them like he was doing with that thick and curvy woman.

This was definitely a stellar scene for Leslie and he couldn't help but take out his phone to take a few shots of them. they looked like lovers having a quarrel.

Godiva sighed knowing she couldn't possibly pull Leslie away. She has grown up with them since their families were closed. She was five years older than them and had watched them grow, so she liked them a lot, that's why she was always looking out for them.

The truth was, even Godiva found the scene amusing. The lady herself was amusing based on her experience with her a while ago. Godiva was someone who could analyse people because it was part of her job as rooms manager. She could tell that the woman was innocent from the way she talked. She couldn't believe she was still a virgin.

She subconsciously chuckled and Leslie turned to her, ''even you find them amusing, right? Aye, so my brother's singlehood has finally come to an end? Sis Godiva, should we throw an ushering party for Andy. It is the first time in almost 10 years since that woman left and he is finally coming out''

''Your choice of words are really…. what ushering in? What coming out? Was he gay? Leave them alone. I still have work to do, I am going''

''Wait, let's watch them for a little while'' Leslie held Godiva's hand.

''No, I am leaving'' Godiva went away and Leslie smirked, going towards them.

''You know what, just forget of the money'' Andy finally gave up arguing with Paula.

''No, that won't do. I can't let you pay for the expenses alone. After all it takes two to tango''

Leslie's eyes almost popped out of its shockers when he heard their conversation. He smirked and sat just behind Andy. He was curious to find out more about what happened between them.

''I don't need you to pay me again. just take it as me doing a service to society''

''If you doing service to society, you wouldn't have brought me to a hotel. You even took a suit room. Eer, weren't there any other rooms available? What kind of work do you do? Why do I feel that your lifestyle is so expensive?''

''What a nice compliment coming from someone who doesn't want to spend money she didn't work for? What are you going to use the five million dollars your father left you for?''

''Didn't I tell you I was using it for my dowry, which by the way isn't going to happen, no thanks to you''

''Are you still blaming me for that letter?''

''Oh, when I saw you, I thought you were handsome but now I don't have such thoughts anymore. They are all died after I took the letter. Anyways, that is in the past now. I can't pay you all the money I owe you right now. So, I will write you an IOU note. I will surely pay you the entire amount in instalments''

''Do whatever you want'' a subtle smile appeared on his face. He didn't know why he was suddenly happily when she mentioned instalments. But he knew it meant they were going to be seeing each other more often. He was curious about her.

''I will pay you in instalments, I just finished my national service and I don't have money'' Paula removed her diary and tore a paper from it and wrote boldly 'I OWE YOU [IOU]'. ''Here I've added my phone number to it, give me your number I will call you when your money is ready''

Andy took the paper and pulled his thin lips together, an act he does subconsciously. When Paula looked up and saw him that way, she felt that his lips looked enticing. She quickly shook her head and heard him say.

''So, when will you pay the first instalment?'' Andy asked her and just then, as Paula was about to answer, Leslie stood up and turned to them.

''I suggest you pay a dollar a day'' Leslie said with his hand placed over Andy's shoulder and the other in his pocket.

''Oh, you two'' Paula was surprised and kept pointing at the two of them. Their resemblance was too striking for her.

''Hi, lovely lady. I am Leslie, the elder twin of Andy''

''You are not the elder one'' Andy retorted back and hit Leslie hand which was stretched towards Paula, 'don't touch her''

''Oh, possessive much?'' Leslie winked at Andy and slightly brushed his hair backwards. 'Little brother, you look so cute right now''

''Wait. Are you two really twins?'' Paula asked as she looked at the two of them. she was still trying to find something different from them but perhaps because it was her first time of seeing them, she still couldn't pick out the difference.

''Yes, he is Leslie, my twin brother'' Andy replied and looked at Leslie, 'what are you doing here?''

'Well, I heard through the grapevine that my brother whom I thought might join the seminary came last night with a woman. I was curious to know which woman had captured the heart of an iceberg. But, now that I see her…'' he leaned closer to Andy's ears and said the last part, ''she doesn't look like your type. I didn't know you could change your taste so face, but, she is absolutely gorgeous. Right proportion of both in front and behind''

Andy pushed Leslie away and muttered, ''pervert'' Andy's phone buzzed and he looked at it, ''that's your friend''

''Oh'' Paula took the phone and answered the call from Lisa, ''hey, Lise. I am inside the restaurant. I will be out soon'' she hung up and saw her friend through the glass walling and smiled.

''She is here?'' Andy could still remember Lisa.

''Yes, I have to go. I will call you'' Paula said and ran out of the restaurant.

''Be careful'' Andy said when he saw that she almost bumped into an empty table.

''Whoa. History has been rewritten. Now, I know my brother didn't turn gay. His animalistic desires are still intact and have just awakened''

Andy ignored him and watched outside as Paula went to hug Lisa before getting into the car.

''Wait, her friend isn't so bad'' Leslie saw Lisa briefly.

'If you go near them, I will kill you''

'Wow, hold you claws brother'' Leslie said and chuckled before asking, ''I will go back to my company right now. I still have a meeting to man''

''Wait. Have you finalised the collaboration and trip to Coastal Town?''

The two got serious and started discussing business as they walked out of the restaurant.

''Almost. The trip is in a week's time. I will get it ready by tomorrow and mail it to you''
