The lights of a hospital flickered as a cloaked figure entered the room where a woman had given birth just minutes ago. "Congratulations. Twins?" the stranger said to the mother with a friendly voice.
"Yes, a boy and a girl." the mother replied, grasping her babies a little tighter to her arms.
The stranger chuckled softly. "Don't be afraid. It's not because I hide my face that I have bad intentions. My face is scarred and I don't wish to traumatize your children so early in their lives."
The mother seemed to give the stranger the benefit of doubt and softened her grip, yet couldn't think of an appropriate answer. "Apart from their gender, they look exactly alike, don't you think?" she asked to put the conversation a new direction.
The stranger inspected the babies and nodded. "Yes, very much alike. Yet, completely different." It looked like the stranger was looking at the son more than at the daughter.
"May I be so blunt to ask who the father is?" The woman frowned. "There is no father. Excuse me if I'm being rude but do I know you?"
The stranger shook his head and left the room, leaving the woman completely confused. She looked at her children and frowned.
Today
The music in the club was loud and Ivy had to stand really close to the guy in his fancy outfit in order to talk to him. She was dressed to tease, to say the least. Her long blond hair lay beautifully on her tight black dress. "Isn't a gentleman like you going to offer a sweet girl like me a drink?" she whispered in his ear while keeping one hand on his chest.
The guy rolled his eyes and replied "I am sure there are plenty of men here who wish to offer you plenty of drinks. You might want to be careful who you accept it from."
Ivy giggled in a playful manner. "I know when I see something I like."
The man grabbed her hand, which was still leaning on his chest, and gently removed it. "Sorry sweetheart, I don't know what to tell you except that I'm not interested. You are barking up the wrong tree."
Ivy's playful giggle stopped and her facial expression turned more serious. "I should have known. No straight man dresses this well. Enjoy your night and make sure to try the martini."
While she walked away, she crossed her blond and blue-eyed brother Khelfin. "No luck?" he asked her. Without stopping to move, she explained it quite effectively. "Not his cup of tea. Your move, brother."
Within seconds, Khelfin made his way to the man and pretended to accidentally bump into him. "Wow, I'm sorry, I was a bit distracted and-... Wow!" After a short pause, he explained himself. "Sorry, it's just... You're not from around here are you? If handsome men like you lived here, I would definitely know about it." Both of them smiled shyly.
Further down the club, Ivy had gotten herself into a conversation with the bartender. "Can you believe it? One cheap line and he does it again. Men!"
The bartender chuckled a little. "Looks like they are heading this way."
Khelfin winked at Ivy as he arrived with the target. "Ivy, here you are! This is Aaron and he would like to buy us some martini's. Aaron, I believe you have met my sister Ivy?"
Ivy shook Aaron's hand. "It is very nice to meet you under less embarassing circumstances this time. When we were younger, my brother always got the presents I secretly wanted. Some things will never change." The three of them laughed and ordered some drinks.
Later that night, Aaron went home after paying for a huge bill. Neither Khelfin or Ivy had spend a single dollar. Aaron said his goodbyes to Ivy and then kissed Khelfin goodnight. "Are you sure you're not coming with me?" he asked with almost a begging look.
Khelfin shook his head. "We have to help mother in the morning. But I have your number, I'll definitely call you."
The minute Aaron had left the club, Ivy highfived Khelfin. "You are going to call him?" she giggled. Khelfin threw a napkin with a phone number written on it in the trashcan. "I don't think he has anything left on his bank account after tonight. Too bad, he was kind of cute." The two of them grinned. "We're plain evil." Ivy said jokingly.
Khelfin just smiled it off and turned to the bartender. "Two more martini's please."
