Who's Matthew? //

{Who's Matthew?} came David's voice.

I stopped the car in shock. It stopped with a screech and cars behind me started honking.

Taking a shaky breath, I started driving ahead again and parked the car on the side of the road.

I leaned back in my seat and took a deep breath.

Picking up my phone, I turned the speaker off and put the phone to my ear.

"Yes, David?" I said with a sigh.

{Uhmm, everything alright?} he asked with a concerned tone.

"Yes, everything's fine." I answered.

{Oh, ok, good. Sorry for disturbing you while you were driving.} He said softly.

*sigh* "It's alright. Why did you call?" I asked as I put my hand on my forehead with a sigh.

{Oh, uhm, it's nothing. Anyway, are you gonna answer my question?} He asked, avoiding my question.

"What question?" I asked back.

{Who's Matthew?} He said with a cold tone of voice.

"Oh, that. Haha, he's my boss. He was calling before you did, So I automatically assumed it was him because I hadn't checked the name tag.. Haha.." I rambled as I tried to explain myself.

{I see... Well, get home safe. Sorry, I disturbed you.} David said with a heavy tone.

"It's alright. I'll see you when I get back. Bye." I said and then cut the call.

*sigh* "What a ruckus... Welp, I better get back now or he'll be worrying about me." I mumbled with a sigh and started the car again.

Pulling up in the garage, I got off the car and took my bag from the back seat.

I walked over to the door and gave a knock.

Mrs. Gray came and let me in a couple of seconds later and held the door open for me as I stepped inside.

I set my bag down on the table and walked upstairs.

Striding into my room, I took off my coat and went to change my clothes.

I sat on the bed a bit later and took a deep breath.

Just then, the door opened and David walked in.

"Oh, you're already back." he said with a small smile.

"Hmm. What're you up to?" I asked as I pulled my legs onto the bed.

"Nothing, was just cleaning after Arthur left." he answered as he sat down at the edge of the bed.

"Oh, Arthur was here?" I asked.

"Yes, he just left." He said with a sigh.

"I see." I said with a yawn.

"Ah, you must be tired... I'll go out, you rest up." he said with a small smile as he stood up and walked over to the door.

"Good night." I said as I closed my eyes and fell asleep as he walked out of the room.
