"Who the hell is this?" Darius asked standing in the doorway, with his gym bag in his hand hanging loosely from his shoulder, still in his workout clothes. His eyes fixed on Matthew with a sharpness that instantly made the bakery feel very intense.
"I can explain" I blurted out quickly as I sprung up from the chair nearly knocking my knee against the table in the process. My hands in the air like I was just caught robbing a bank, my gaze flickering between Darius and Matthew.
Matthew's eyebrows knotted in confusion, his eyes on moving between the two of us, sitting there in utter shock as his eyes widened. The realisation slowly settling in as his expression shifted completely.
"I didn't know you had a boyfriend" he said as he stood up hurriedly, his voice coming off taut, almost knocking the coffee mug coasters off the table.
I whipped my head to him immediately.
"Oh no, he's not–" I began hoping to correct the misunderstanding but was interrupted by Darius again.
