Wondering

We took the elevator to the garage and set out on our road trip to B city.

The Wrangler was comfortable and I had an easy time settling in my seat with my iPod in hand. I looked over at Mu Kai in his seat was slightly leaned back. He had one hand on the steering wheel, and his other arm was resting on the console in the middle.

The way he drove was sexy, and I could not help staring at him. Everything this man did was sexy even when he tried to control me.

He looked over at me.

"Why are you staring at me?"

"I was just wondering about you, that's all."

He sighed and looked back at the road. I looked out the window and put my headphones in. I pressed play and started singing as we merged on the highway. Mu Kai tapped me on the arm. I took out my headphones and looked at him.

"Are you going to ignore me the whole way there?" He asked.

"Are you going to tell me a little bit about Mr Mu?" I smiled in a cocky way.

He sighed and shook his head. I could tell I was pissing him off, so I put my headphones back in. He yanked the headphone out of my ear.

"Hey, what the hell?"

He laughed.

"Take those things out you stubborn girl and I'll talk."

Yes, I knew I'd win and I always do, but if it got to be too much for him, I would tell him to stop.

"My sister's name is Mu Yi Fei, and I had a twin brother Mu Kang."

I gasped as my eyes widened.

"How the hell could you not tell me you were a twin?"

He sighed and took a hold of my hand.

"Are you going to ask a million questions or are you going to let me finish?"

I twisted my face contemplating what to say.

"Ok, I promise not to ask any questions at all, go ahead."

"Are you sure?" He seriously asked.

I shook my head and made the zip my lip motion across my mouth. He smiled and continued.

"He died when he was 6 years old from a virus that attacked his heart." I swallowed hard. I wanted to throw my arms around him and comfort him because I knew how hard this was for him to tell me.

"My mom and dad had a hard time with his death and their way of dealing with it was to get pregnant with my sister. When Yi Fei was eighteen, she got pregnant by some guy who tossed her to the side when he found out. You asked me why my company is involved with the autism charity, it is because my sister's 4-year-old son, my nephew is autistic."

I put my hand on his leg.

"I'm sorry, you don't have to say anymore."

My sympathy ran deep for him, and my stomach was in knots for behaving the way I did and forcing him to tell me about his family.

He put his hand on top of mine and glanced at me.

"It's fine, I want to tell you anyway."

"My father take over Mu Group during his twenty and started grooming me when I was around thirteen. I worked hard, learned fast, went to Harvard and two years ago he retired. He handed over his company to me, and in those two years, I doubled the company's profits. So now you know about my family."

"What about the past relationships?"

I knew that was crossing the line with him, but I was hoping he would feel comfortable enough to tell me since he was telling me about his family.

He pressed his lips together and took in a deep breath.

"I do not talk about my past relationships, there's no point, what's past is past and why revisit it. I don't have a girlfriend, nor do I want one."

His comment hurt deep down, just hearing him say he didn't want a girlfriend was heartbreaking. It's for the best though, because I could never be his girlfriend and he could never be my boyfriend. I figure if I keep telling myself that, I'd actually convince myself.
