 *Tom*

 Honestly I feel so stupid right now, I had gotten caught up in the moment and felt a, for me at least, rare connection. So I pushed away the thought that she was too young, that I shouldn't ask out a woman I don't know, and I begged her to go on a date with me.

 She almost ran back to the trailer, telling me she was sorry but she couldn't, that she was not in London to date, but to focus on her studies. After she had changed back to her own clothes she disappeared so fast I hardly got to say goodbye.

 You are a fool Tom, of course she said no. I had been too fast, to direct apparently, but I mean who says I will ever see her again ? Her look told me everything, I might have forgotten about the age difference, but she didn't. 

 I shake my head and get ready for the last scene. It can't just be nothing, can it ? I mean… seeing her in the park, then her walking right on set… and that kiss, the thought sends my blood rushing through me… it had been something special, I am sure of it. But she's gone and I only know her first name. How am I going to find her ?

 Finishing up the last scene I go home. I try to tell myself to forget it, to forget her. That it was probably nothing, it would probably have been no more than a fling anyway. So maybe this is for the best.

 *Lumi*

 "Hi sis, how was your day ?" I ask as my dear sister comes through the door. I notice she looks flustered. "What happened Meri ?"

 "Nothing happened". I only have to look at her and she gives in. "Okay everything happened, the running man was a movie star… he kissed me and the car and she had hurt her ankle".

 Honestly for once I have no idea what she is talking about. "Uhh what ? Who kissed you ?"

 "I better tell from the beginning right ?" She sighs and sits down. "This has been one truly crazy day… you are not going to believe it… I can hardly believe it myself honestly".

 "Yeah you need to tell me everything". I sit up more, leaning on my pillow. What has my sweet and romantic sister been up to ? Who has she been kissing ? Meri doesn't go around kissing random men.

 She bites her lip. "I went to Hampton Heath first, to get some air and check it out. There is this… small athletic stadium and a man was running on the track".

 "Uhh was he handsome ? Sexy ?" Yeah I know, I am not good at just listening.

 "Shh, let me tell you.'' She gives me a stern mom-like look. "Honestly I couldn't see him much as he was wearing a cap. But there was something about him, it kind of drew my eyes to him constantly… in the end I had to force myself to walk away because it started to be embarrassing".

 I fold my legs. "And ? What happened then ?"

 "Well when I returned he was gone… and I thought that maybe I should have talked to him or something". She sighs.

 "What ? Is that it ? Is this your crazy, unbelievable story ? You saw a hottie and did nothing ?" No there has to be more.

 She rolls her eyes at me. "Of course it isn't it… I decided to go into town… look at the stores and the theatres, you know suck up the atmosphere. London is such an amazing city by the way, I love it already".

 "Story… tell the story". I urge her on.

 "Yeah yeah relax". She huffs. "I was thinking of him, my running man. And I kind of walked right onto a set of some tv show. I would have been knocked over if he hadn't caught me".

 She has this kind of dreamy look in her eyes. "He who ?"

 "The star of the show… who turned out to be my running man from the heath. I bumped into him again". She giggles softly.

 "Oh… for real ? What are the odds ? Damn this really is like some cheesy romance novel". I grin, my sister loves all things romantic.

 She blushes slightly. "Well everything went so fast. The director's assistant was yelling, but he stood up for me. The director came back and the actress had sprained her ankle… they asked me to stand in for her".

 I am blinking. "Wow, like for real… you walk in on a set and suddenly you are a movie star".

 "Well not a star at all, you can't see it's me. I was filmed from behind. And a bit from the side during the kiss I think". Now she is definitely blushing.

 "The kiss, what kiss ?" This is suddenly getting real interesting.

 She kind of hides her face in her hands. "Well the scene was me almost getting run over by a car. He pulled me away…. and then he kissed me".

 "Oh wow, so you were kissing a total stranger on camera. How did it feel ?" I lean forward. This is so exciting. 

 She sighs softly, and gets this dreamy look on her face. "It was… so amazing. And so embarrassing. I mean I totally forgot the camera and people watching. He was honestly the best kiss I ever had".

 "Really ? So guessing it wasn't some innocent movie kiss then ?" I look at her, seeing how her face turns beet red from the roots of her hair and all the way down her neck, before she hides it in her hands. "Oh…so there was tongue involved".

 "Kind of… a lot of… God I am such a whore". She mumbles from behind her hands.

 "Oh stop it. You kissed a hot guy, so what". I pull her hands away. "That doesn't make you a whore. For God's sake it was a kiss. He was hot and a great kisser, you got caught up in it. There is nothing wrong in that sis".

 She looks at me. "He… he asked me out… but I said no".

 "Why did you say no ? I mean the way you talk about him he seems to really have caught your attention and he is a great kisser… so why ?" I look at her, feeling somewhat confused.

 "I … well many reasons. I am here for 10 months, then we go home, so I feel starting something would be… dumb. And I was overwhelmed, scared of my own reaction. Also he is an actor and… well he is too old, at least in his thirties". She bites her lip. "It was right to say no, right ?"

 I shrug. "Well I can't really say. But who is this guy ? Someone famous ?" I must admit that I am more than a bit curious.

 "Honestly no idea… his name is Tom and he is definitely british. I didn't want to look dumb and ask". She says with a small smile.

 Hmm well that kind of leaves a lot of options. "I need more than that… half of british actors are named Tom… what does he look like ?"

 "Well he has a kind of scruffy beard and amazing curls, kind of a sandy-ginger colour. He is quite tall and slim and his cheekbones are to die for. Oh and his eyes, he…".

 "Has the most amazing blue eyes right ?" Oh shit she can't mean this. I grab my phone, scrolling the net and holding the phone up in her face. "Is this him ?"

 She looks at the screen, then nods. "Yeah except he wasn't wearing glasses, but yeah, no doubt that's him. Who is he ?"

 "Who is he ? Oh God my sister is an idiot. That's Tom Bennett, just about the sexiest man on the planet… you my dear said no to a date with Bjorn the Red, after he kissed you… why ? Please tell me why ?" I can't believe she did that.

 "Bjorn… like in those viking movies ? No, he didn't look like him at all". She looks confused. "Why ? But I don't know him… and he is… old right ?"

 "Oh believe me that's him… and old ?! Well he is 37… so yeah maybe somewhat older than you usually date… but it's fucking Tom Bennett, who cares about his age ?" I am shaking my head.

 She breathes out. "I fucked up right ? I should have said yes… damn I should have said yes".

  • Icy twins and hot actors   Epilogue

    *Lumi* I sit in the garden, feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin, as I watch my two-year-old son, Rasmus, playing with his cousin, Valo. Their laughter fills the air, a delightful melody that brings a smile to my face. Luca and Tom are tending to the barbecue, the tantalizing aroma of food making my stomach growl with anticipation.It's hard to believe that two years have passed since that special day when Meri and I both became mothers. My chronic leukemia, once a heavy burden, has been kept under control with the help of the new medicine. I feel healthy, alive, and grateful for every moment I get to spend with my family.The news of Meri's pregnancy fills my heart with joy. I glance over at her, as she is sitting beside me, her baby bump starting to show. I can't help but smile, I am so happy for her and Tom. "Meri," I say, excitement bubbling in my voice. "Have you found out the gender of your baby yet?" Meri's eyes light up, and a mischievous grin spreads across her face.

  • Icy twins and hot actors   103: Wedding day

    2 months later *Tom* The sun is blazing hot on the Texan soil as I walk into the room where Luca and I are supposed to get ready for the big day. I glance at my reflection in the mirror, adjusting the collar of my shirt, I am ignoring the faint pain in my leg… a harsh reminder of the past. "Think it's hot enough?" Luca's voice pulls me from my thoughts. He is already dressed in his new suit, looking more Hollywood than Texas, but his grin is as wide as the Rio Grande. "I think it's just right," I reply, a smirk pulling at my lips. I remember how Meri will often tease me about my British love for cooler weather. But today, even the heat seems tolerable, maybe because I finally will get to call her my wife. Luca laughs, a hearty sound that fills the room. "That's because you are about to marry the woman of your dreams. Even a Texan summer can't dampen that." "Marrying the woman of my dreams in a double wedding with her equally beautiful twin and my best friend," I add, causing

  • Icy twins and hot actors   102: Sweet fatherhood

    *Lumi* I walk into the room, the soft light casting a warm glow on the scene before me. My heart skips a beat as I see Luca sitting there, cradling our tiny son in his arms. A surge of love washes over me, filling every fiber of my being. Luca's eyes meet mine, and a tender smile spreads across his face. I can't help but be amazed by how effortlessly he handles our little one. It's as if he was born to be a father, his touch so gentle despite his size, his voice so soothing. After two weeks I am finally starting to feel mostly like myself again after the birth. At least in those ways that will return to being as before. The ones that won’t, Well I do not care, it was all worth it to have our little Rasmus. His name means beloved and desired and he truly is both. I watch in awe as Luca tries to make our baby boy smile. He makes funny faces and coos softly, his voice filled with pure affection. Our son's eyes fixate on him, captivated by his presence. It's a magical sight, one th

    *Tom* I stand by Meri's side, holding her hand firmly as the doctor guides her through the labor. My heart swells with pride and admiration for the woman I love, as she bravely endures the pain and discomfort of bringing our son into the world. I glance over at Lumi, my soon-to-be sister-in-law, and am struck by the incredible bond between these two sisters, both going through this life-changing experience together. "Alright, Meri, when the next contraction comes, give it a good push". The doctor instructs, her voice calm and steady. Meri nods, her face flushed and sweaty, but determined. As the contraction hits, she squeezes my hand tightly, her nails digging into my skin. I wince, but refuse to let go or show any sign of discomfort. My pain is nothing compared to what she's going through right now. "You are doing amazing, love”. I whisper, trying to offer her some comfort between contractions. She manages a weak smile, her eyes filled with exhaustion but also an unwavering dete

  • Icy twins and hot actors   100: Bathroom break

    *Luca* I watch as Lumi struggles with the electrolyte drink. I gently encourage her, saying. "It's important to stay hydrated, babe. Just a bit more”. After she has finished drinking, Lumi tells me she wants to get up and walk around. I support her as she rises, wrapping my arm around her waist. As we walk, the contractions continue to hit. Each time one comes, I gently stroke her lower back, trying to alleviate some of the pain, wishing I could remove it all. "Just breathe, Lumi. I'm here for you”. I whisper to her. Across the room, Meri is voicing her regret about not getting an epidural. Lumi, feeling her sister's pain, walks over to comfort her. "It's going to be okay, Meri. We are in this together". She reassures her sister. Seeing that Tom needs a break, having noticed him shuffle his feet for a while, I tell him, "Go ahead, man. Take a quick bathroom break. We will be here”. As Tom goes to the bathroom, I stay close to Lumi and Meri, prepared to help them through whateve

  • Icy twins and hot actors   99: Unexpected cursing

    *Tom* I'm standing next to Meri, holding her hand tightly as we wait for the doctor to arrive. The room feels small, even though it's quite spacious, with both our families sharing it. I can feel the tension in the air, and my heart races with every passing moment. Meri's grip on my hand tightens as another contraction hits. I wince in sympathy, but she just lets out a string of curses that would make a sailor blush. It's a side of her I haven't seen before, and it catches me off guard. She has always been the more composed of the two sisters, but the pain seems to bring out a whole new side of her. My eyes drift over to Luca and Lumi. Luca is resting his forehead against Lumi's temple, whispering something in her ear. Lumi, who I have always known to be the more fiery and passionate of the two, seems surprisingly calm in this situation. It's a stark contrast to Meri's reaction, and it's oddly reassuring. I look back at my fiancée, trying to figure out how to help her through thi
