“This isn’t the first and won’t be the last time that he’s going to do this. No one will find out. Even you had a hard time distinguishing between the two of us at first, right?” Hayden said carefreely.
That was sort of true but…
“From the photo, I guess you’re right, but I could tell almost right away when I met Harvey that he wasn’t you,” I replied.
“Harvey’s going to be here soon. I suggest you stop worrying about him and focus on getting some clothes on,” Hayden said as his eyes moved from my face down to my hand that was still clutching the sheets to cover my naked chest.
I had to admit that he was right.
…
By the time that Harvey arrived, I was dress up well enough to greet him. The door slid open, and Harvey walked in proudly. As always, Harvey was dressed in a very similar style to Hayden and the way he styled his hair was the same. Looking up and down his profile, I had to admit that they really did look alike. With the effort that Harvey had obviously put in to look like his younger brother, I was certain that the staff couldn’t tell them apart.
“Here are your clothes…” Harvey said lazily as he tossed some clothes at Hayden.
“Did you run into anyone?” Hayden asked while sounding bored.
“No. Can you put some clothes on now…please...” Harvey replied as he sat himself down on a chair and waved Hayden away.
I watched Hayden’s naked back as he walked into the bathroom. It was strange but I had started getting used to seeing Hayden naked. Hayden did have a habit of walking about naked, and I guess Harvey didn’t enjoy seeing his brother like that. Harvey let out a sigh after Hayden had disappeared into the bathroom. He seemed drained of energy and there were dark circles under his eyes. The two brothers seemed a little tired as of late and I couldn’t help but wonder if there was something that was bothering them.
“You look a little tired…” I said softly as I tried to gauge Harvey’s reaction.
“If you want to know what’s going on, you have to ask Hayden. But you’re right, we’re both tired,” Harvey replied very directly.
Right…
“You really can’t tell me anything?” I whispered just in case Hayden might hear us.
“He explicitly told me not to tell you anything and I was forced to agree to his request. So that is that,” Harvey said before shrugging helplessly.
“I see. Well then that can’t be helped…” I said regretfully.
“What can’t be helped?” Hayden asked as he walked back into the room.
I wasn’t sure if Harvey did it intentionally but the clothes that he had picked out for Hayden looked very similar to the ones that he was wearing. The style, the color, the pattern, and everything was very similar.
“Umm…it’s nothing…” I replied before smiling at him to cover things up.
