To Belong To You

still care?

Matt's pov

After  two more days with Zander  i had to go back to New  York after all i had a crisis  in the office , i couldnt let my team try to figure this one out on their own.

When i arrived at the office , everyone had already arrived , i have just been in my office trying to get on track with everyone else.
I planned on having lunch with JD so that he can fill me in on whats been happening , and what progress theyve made with Mira if any.When i arrived at the resturant we agreed on however i didnt expect to see Mira there, but i have to admit it was a nice surprise ,seeing her never gets old.I approached the table they were sitting in and greeted the both of them , the waiter came through and i ordered as well as they.

"So, what do you guys have for me?" i asked , Mira just scoffed , while JD shifted a bit nervously in his sit. "Matt , please forgive me , it seems like all this was my fault, i guess i was not as carefull  as i should have been when dealing with the financials" JD spoke looking down on his interwined hands , i raised a brow "i dont understand , whats going on here?" i asked for clarification. " i am the reason why we lost all the money we lost, it was my fault had i looked into the papers before signing this wouldve never happened, you wouldnt have lost so much money , im so sorry , i know how much faith you had in me" JD spoke but he was still not making any sense and i was getting a bit frustrated.

Mira mustve seen that i was getting frustrated because she spoke next, " What Sam means is that the money you lost , you lost legally , he signed the papers the made it possible to withdraw the money into cash from the company, you also signed the papers deeming it okay for the transaction to happen." she shrugged.I was getting angry at an alarming fast rate, i felt like i needed to take a few breaths before seriously hurting JD, could it really be that my own brother could betray ,me like this , i know he doesnt know that we're related but there must be some sort of feeling right , that makes him wanna do right by me. I looked at Mira and she had this look on her face that i couldnt really understand but i really hope she understands what im trying to say to her , i really  dont want to deal with JD right now.

'' Sam , why dont you take your food and go back to the office , Matthew and i will meet you there after lunch , i need to talk to him" Mira told JD and he left soon after that , im sitting right there in front of Mira holding my head in my hands , i feel betrayed , i wouldve understood if he were just a mere ceo that didnt mean anything to me , but this is a man i consider a friend , this man is my brother , how could he do this to me and the company , i trusted him so much. "You know something?" Mira suddenly spoke interuping my thoughts , i looked up to her , she drank water from the glass she was holding , i raised a brow urging her to continue her statement "Even Sam didnt know that he was signing the money away, theres no way he knew , he did sign and so did you but he didnt know that his signature on that paper will result in a loss of the money" she said.

I let out a breath i didnt even know i was holding , and chuckled feeling sudden relief wash over me in  an instance, at this point not even considering how it is possible for him to sign away the money unknowingly, all that mattered was the fact that he didnt do it on purpose , he didnt betray me "so, he didnt betray me ?" i asked , Mira shook her head "and i can prove it but i doubt  you need convincing?"  i shook my head not realising the meaning behind her words, its an amazing feeling to know that the one person i trusted other than my self deserves my trust, it makes me trust him even more.I smiled as i laid back in my chair , "so,why does he mean so much to you? i mean you dont have to tell me but it seems like you like him a lot, like his more than just a coworker" she looked staright at me. I shrugged and she gave the 'dont bullshit me' look.

Now i know this might sound wierd but even from the moment i met this lady here , it always came easy for me to tell her things i dont know why nor do i care if it come back to bite me in the future but i really cant seem to keep anything from her. "Hes my brother, from my biological fathers side , after i ran away from home , he got clean and married JD's mother ,they had kids and lived happily ever after" i looked at her and i could see it in her face that she knows just how much that hurts me.

I could see her struggling to keep the tears in her eyes , i just smiled at her and looked away. When i looked back at her i see her wiping tears from her eyes ,i guess she failed. "Does he know? that you guys are related? he always talks about his dad, i mean your father but never of you being his half brother" , i shook my head , "he doesnt know , and id like to keep it that way Mira, please dont tell him , he loves his father so much and he really looks up to the man , he is his hero and i cant take that away from him" i told her. "I wont tell him ,simply because its not my place to tell him , i disagree with your reasons for not telling him though , i think you should just tell him , maybe your father has changed so much so that you might actually find a father in him again Brandon, maybe just maybe you also can find a hero in him just like Sam" i shook my head "i dont ever want to see the man ever again in my life Mira , i know you mean well but i dont want to go back to my childhood, had it been  possible i would have forgotten all of it along with both my parents but i cant do that.I dont want to see him , i would rather have him remain a villain in my life because ive learnt to survive with that version of him" i told her honestly, my dad played the role of a villain perfectly in my childhood , finding out hes capable of loving and being a great father to me  will only hurt me more because then it would mean even back there when he treated me the way that he did, he couldve chosen to be a great father , so id rather believe that he is just incapable of loving me.

Now  her tears were just running down her cheeks , i couldnt help but stood up and walked to her side of the table in order to give her a hug  well thats what i planned but she didnt allow me she placed her hand on my chest in order to stop me from touching her.I instead just wiped her tears away from her cheeks and took her hand that as on my chest and held it assuringly.

I went back to my chair and sat down. "Look i know youre trying to help and all but please just stay out o my business with my family , if it involves other people and not us please just stay out of it , telling you personal information comes easy to me , and that only happens with you and my best friend so please dont use it against me  im begging you" i pleaded. "Id like to believe that telling me means you trust me and i will never exploit that , ever." i smiled at her statement but we are going to be working together so wherther we like it or not we still have to build a mutual ground in order for us to work well together.

"So we both know that we have a history that may hinder our work relationship,  how do you think we should go on about it? " i asked , she shrugged "Being in your presence doesn't  really affect my professional  capabilities,  as long as you dont try to be friends and shit im cool , lets keep it professional  because on a personal level , you cant even begin to imagine how much your presence disturbs my peace of mind" well not that i expected  her to like me and all but jeez thats harsh ,i understand  where she's  coming from and why she feels the way that she feels , its not like ive been a gentleman  towards her, i do deserve all her negative feelings, but understanding all that doesnt make it hurt any less, as much as id like to believe otherwise , her hating me really  cracks my heart. it hurts...

The lunch went well after that we kept it professional  she told me all that she has discovered and explained in better detail how JD and i signed the money away and also how we couldnt have realised what was happening she also explained how she plans on tackling this case , shes pretty smart , more like a genious , you understand what im saying. We went back to the office after lunch and  i had to assure JD that i trust him , and understand  why he made the mistake that he made and that his job was safe.

By the end of the day , i was feeling a little lighter , and a little less sad if you may , the JD situation  ealier had me scared. I dont know what i wouldve done had JD really  betrayed me , i dont know where my state of mind wouldve been. Just as i thought my day was going great i had to bump into my mom at my apartment , the moment i saw her i  froze , she was here alone , she came on her own , but why?
