It all started back in preschool all the way until college. Matthew always kept an eye out for you, and he found himself staring a little too much. It was all the way to high school that he finally got closer to you, and you noticed him. Before high school, he only talked with you a few times. Now the two of you were dating.
Matthew was still in college while you were out there chasing your dreams. Your job isn't easy, and Matthew is well aware of it; he understands if you're busy or tired, so he doesn't force you. He fully supports you with your job, and he respects your decision to want to keep the relationship a secret, but sometimes he wanted to boast about you to his friends and people close to him. Plus, he wanted everyone to know that you have someone already. But then again, if you don't want to, he'll always agree with you.
