Bitter & Sweet
The Part 31

Looking at the medicine box that was still on the table near the sofa, Chloe then intended to pick it up, in order to take care of Matthew's hand.

However, just as Chloe was about to walk towards the sofa, Matthew immediately held her back by saying,

"Where are you going?"

"I'll take that!" With her hands raised, Chloe pointed towards the medicine box on the table, until Matthew came to see where she meant.

"Not necessary! ... You just get the fuck out of here! I can take care of myself!" As she tells Chloe, Matthew is seen trying to stand up and walk on his own.

Although Matthew had told him to leave, Chloe still stayed there, and noticed Matthew's movements, which seemed very difficult to walk on his own.

According to Chloe, if you see an imbalance from Matthew's body while walking, then most likely Matthew will fall before he reaches the table.

And it's true that Chloe's guess, because Matthew finally looks limp, and can't maintain his balance anymore.

In a hurry, Chloe then approached Matthew, intending to help Matthew not fall.

However, Chloe who wears shoes with too high a right, also has difficulty maintaining her own balance, when it must be half-run like that.

In the end, Chloe who intends to catch Matthew from the front, just fell flat on the floor, coinciding with Matthew who also fell down, to crush Chloe there.

At once, Chloe felt a little dizzy, as the back of her head seemed to hit the corner of the sofa.

Chloe wanted to grimace in pain, but she couldn't let out her voice, as Matthew's chest rested on her face.

And apparently, it wasn't just Chloe who was in pain, because Matthew hadn't moved for a while, and just let out his moaning. "Auch!"

Chloe tries to push Matthew's body, because he is starting to have difficulty breathing, but Matthew's body can not be shifted.

Matthew, who may have just realized that he was pinning Chloe's face, then pushing his body, until his chest was lifted.

However, not long ago Matthew back leaned on Chloe's body, even though it had been slightly shifted to the side, so that Chloe's face was only partially blocked.

"The sir! ... Can you stand up?" ask Chloe.

"Wait a minute! ... My hands and feet hurt. My head is also dizzy" Matthew said.

Inevitably, Chloe must be patient with awkward and uncomfortable positions, because Matthew is still pushing her down.

The fragrant scent of Matthew's body, even though it might be able to penetrate into Chloe's brain, because he had to breathe in Matthew's chest.

"I'm sorry ... But you'll have to wait a little while. I can't force a shift, then fall again and just get us both hurt" Matthew said.

Chloe should be able to understand, if it's true what Matthew said.

But the problem is, because he was overpowered by Matthew for too long, like two people who were making out, almost making Chloe unable to control her heart, which began to beat fast.

And it feels like, it's not just Chloe who feels that way. Because Chloe could feel, if the rhythm of Matthew's heartbeat, also seemed to increase drastically.

Matthew then pushed his body again, shifted sideways, and supine on the floor, with his head rested at the foot of the sofa, in a seemingly uncomfortable position.

Chloe tried to sit down, then immediately noticed the state of Matthew, which in the injured part of her hand, seen more blood soaking the bandage, until it flowed out.

"Can you sit down? ... I'll help you." Chloe immediately helps Matthew to get on the floor, and rests his back on the sofa.

Not lingering any longer, Chloe picked up the medicine box nearby, and began to treat Matthew's wound.

"Did your back hurt?" ask Matthew. "You slammed hard enough on the floor."

Chloe actually felt the back of her head for a while, making sure that there were no bumps due to the impact.

"I don't realize it anymore. All I know is that my head is aching and a little dizzy" Chloe said.

Meanwhile, Chloe who opened the bandage in Matthew's hand, then remembered something, then said,

"Are you satisfied with being stubborn? You almost got us both hurt. If I get hurt too, then who else will take care of us?"

While grunting rudely, Matthew actually threw his face away, as if he did not care about Chloe's reprimand.

"Do you still want me to take care of you? Or I'll just leave you here, as you asked just now?" ask Chloe.

However, after Chloe waited for some time, Matthew just fell silent and still did not want to look at Chloe.

"Then, I'll tell Mister Matteo. Just let him take care of you" Chloe said.

Just as Chloe was preparing to stand up, Matthew immediately restrained Chloe, holding her arm.

"I'm sorry" said Matthew, who sounded forced to say so.

Chloe could only shake her head, then grunt softly, as she did not want to argue empty any longer with Matthew.

Especially when Chloe saw Matthew's wound, which was more and more bleeding, because the bandage had already been opened by Chloe.

Slowly and carefully, Chloe cleaned Matthew's wound, before she applied a medicinal ointment on it.

And in the meantime, Matthew then suddenly shifts Chloe's hair, to the back of Chloe's ear.

Therefore, Chloe then raised her gaze, and looked at Matthew.

"You definitely won't want your hair to get dirty" Matthew chirped, as if to explain why, until he did just that to Chloe's hair.

"You make me feel both resentful and pity at the same time" chloe chirped, as she refocused her attention on the wound on Matthew's hand.

"I don't need any pity from you" said Matthew, ketus.

Because in a hurry to say the words of Matthew, so Chloe then spoke spontaneously without thinking long. 

"Well, should I love you?"

"Yes." Yeah." Unexpectedly, Matthew just agreed to the question from Chloe.

Without taking her eyes off Matthew's hand, Chloe fell silent for a while, before she regained consciousness and continued to take care of Matthew's hand.

"If you're constantly acting like this, it's not until when your wounds can heal, then" Chloe said, switching the conversation.

"That's because you pissed me off!" matthew said, as if he didn't feel guilty at all.

"Are you a kid who can't control yourself?" ask Chloe.

"It's also because you're the one who made me unable to control myself!" Matthew insists on blaming Chloe.

"So this is all my fault?" Chloe just asked.

"Yes!" matthew, stick with his opinion.

"Are you aware of what we're talking about?" ask Chloe, again.

"Yes!" Matthew answered without hesitation.

"It seems, it's not just your feet and hands that are injured. Your head may also have just been hit hard" Chloe said.

Although she was arguing with Matthew, Chloe smiled, and almost laughed at him.

"What's so funny?" matthew asked, holding onto Chloe's chin, and raising Chloe's slightly bowed face.

While looking at each other with Chloe, and putting on a serious expression on her face, Matthew then said,

"Before I met you, I never got hurt like this. Therefore, it should be if you are the one in charge!" 

At once Chloe let out a laugh, then hurriedly covered her mouth with one of the backs of her hands.

However, it was as if Matthew was not joking when he said that to Chloe, so Matthew seemed to hold on with his flat face, while still staring fixedly at Chloe.

"The sir! ... Are you talking seriously?" In disbelief, Chloe tried to confirm it.

"Then do you think I'm kidding?" Matthew seemed to furrow his brows deeply, then continued saying,

"I don't care even if you're exhausted. You still have to take care of me, until all the injuries in my legs and hands are healed.... 

... No more dating that whoever, as long as I'm still hurt. You must continue to be by my side ... Your full attention is worth it, isn't it?!"
