Chapter 38 - Aren't you overreacting

Seeing that he's not answering her, she frowned, but didn't struggle like she did when Leo was carrying her, she did not want to hurt him by accident.

"Are you even listening to me?" Clara asked, looking up at his face.

"save your breath." Tim replied flatly.

Clara was getting irritated by his persistent. She believed it's her body and he doesn't have this right "aren't you overreacting? I got slapped not crippled okay? put me down this instance." she said.

She saw Tim face darkens when he heard that she got slapped. It seems Tim mistook the situation and she's adding salt to the wound.

She felt like she's doing something wrong, as she wouldn't want to come in between the two friends. 

If someone tried to come in between her relationship with Sonya, she wouldn't let the person get away with it, and now she is doing so, to Tim and Leo's friendship. 

Unbeknown, it was her who was stressing her thoughts, as Tim and Leo would never let anything or anyone come between them. Leo doesn't care about the punch, but Tim's disappointed expression.

Hitting each other is nothing to them. Leo would have done the same if it were Tim who was in the wrong, and they will talk about the matter after the hitting and everything will be back to normal.

"Let me overreact,"  Tim replied.

Clara sighed and felt the urge to clear the misunderstanding than getting angry right now.

"Actually, we were training. You know it's why I'm here in the first place, so it's normal if we train, so I can improve my fighting prowess. That hit was an accident." She explained.

Of course Tim has thought about that, he's not a fool, but the look on Leo's face when he admits that he is responsible for hitting her says otherwise. 

And why would Leo carry her if she's really his bodyguard? there is more to their relationship and he plans on asking Leo later. 

"Stay put, I will let you go after tending to your face." Tim said and smiled at her 

Clara felt her heart skip a bit, Tim is very eye catching and beautiful, unlike Leo manly and handsome feature, Tim look more like a cassanova with his girlish facial features. 

It's no wonder he felt confident when he tried to seduce her then, who wouldn't be attracted to such beautiful man, maybe it's because of how he punch Leo for hitting a woman that makes him more attractive to her, she really didn't care to check out his features thoroughly then, but looking at him smile now, she kind of find him hot. 

"Hey Mick," Tim said as a footstep approached them. Clara was deep in thought and forgot that they've gotten inside the house.

Immediately she returned to her senses, she closed her eyes and pretend to have passed out.

"What's going on?" Mick who was putting on a casual wear, consisting of a black suit trousers and a yellow polo, looked at the pretending Clara with a worried expression.

Tim thought he was worried because of the mark on Clara's face, not knowing that, Mick thought the woman in his arms was unconscious. 

"I need to tend to the wound, get me the necessary needs," Tim said and went to place Clara on the couch, while Mick went to get what Tim requested 

Immediately Clara felt Mick's absence, she opened her eyes to meet Tim smiling face staring into her relieved one.

"I thought you enjoy my arm so much that you decide to sleep in it," Tim teased. 

Clara wanted to roll her eyes, but now is not the right time for that, as Mick will be back any moment from now.

"Can you please not say anything to Mick about what happened?" Clara pleaded.

"And why is that? he will know eventually." Tim replied. 

"I'm fine now, I need to leave." Clara said trying to stand up, but Tim wouldn't let her, and wondered why Clara seem to be panicking all of a sudden.

"If you don't want him to know, then let me tend to your face then you can leave, or else I will call him now and tell him." Tim threatened.

Well he wanted to tease her but Clara suddenly sat straight and agreed.
