Chapter 14
(Name's pov)
I look around, I hear the beeping of a machine. I knew that I was in a hospital and I hate hospitals. As soon as I woke up I saw Hannibal and abigail by my door.
"Mama." Abigail cried rushing to me and giving me a hug.
"It's okay. I'm okay." I tell her. Kissing her cheek.
"It is good to see you awake (Name)." Hannibal says walking in.
"Nice to see you too. Both of you." I tell them.
"I was just here to pick up Abigail. She has classes and I was hoping you would rest more." He tells me. "Though I am glad you are awake you been in a coma for two days."
"Two days!" I nearly shout. "When can I leave?"
"The doctors want to monitor you for the next thirteen hours. If everything is fine you can go home." Hannibal tells me.
"I will see you tomorrow mom, I love you." Abigail says giving me one last hug.
"I love you too sweetie." With that said they left.
-Small Time Skip-
I smiled lightly as I had gotten to know one if the doctors, she was super nice to me. I called Will but I remembered he went to look at dogs again, I didn't know if Jack was busy, Frederick I didn't know to well so I guess that left Hannibal. I just hope he doesn't mind. It went to voice mail. So I assume he is probably with a patient. I huff and stare at the wall. I then hear a knock at the door and look over to see... Fredick carrying Chinese take out and (Favorite Flowers). I smile and blush slightly.
"I thought you may want some company since I know you hate hospitals." He tells me.
I smiled, maybe he wasn't as bad as I thought. "Yeah, I do hate hospitals, thank you. You really didn't have to do this"
And he really didn't, I felt bad for feeling like I had made him do it.
"You did not have to come." I tell him.
"No it is fine. especially since our date was kind of canceled." He says with a chuckle.
"Date!?!" I asked shocked. "I mean the dinner it was date!?!"
"Yes." He then pauses and goes. "You thought it was buisness of course why would a girl like you want to date me?"
"No, no, no!" I say blushing crimson. "I thought it was buisness was because who would want to go on a date with! I am so plain and boring!"
I absouletly flustered at this point. I never thought of someone liking me that way, ever really. Not since Freddie and I had broken up, it was for the best though. Obviously we were meant to hate each other.
"Well, I think you are rather brilliant. By the way, not wanting to turn the mood sour or anything but Freddie wrote something new again."
I rolled my eyes "What did she write now?"
"Well... I think you may want to read this one." Fredrick tells me.
I nod and open up the blog.
'A Love for the Cheasepeake Ripper?'
'In the last murder of the Ripper, he confessed that all of this is done for one person. One woman in fact. It is the women that he claims to love. (Name) (Last Name). She has been on the case since the very start. He has gained her attetion like no man or women has. I know I have tried.
As one of the many males and females who have fallen in love with (Name) I know the pain of yearning for her. Since I still too this day yearn for her. She is an amazing, brilliant, smart, and beautiful women. I would not go as far as killing for her, since I am not a deranged or unhinged, Socoipath or Psychopath. But I can see why this man or women has fallen for her. Not only is she smart and beautiful. But she is alos far more kind and forgiving than anyone.
We may have our differences since they way we broke up was not ideal. Not that I wanted us to end. But I can confidentally say that (Name) is a cut above the rest. Seeing the good in almost everyone. She has and empathy to people around her. That many wish to have. I can say that you the Cheasepeake Ripper have many rivals for (Name). Myself Included.'
-Freddie Lounds
Was she trying to get herself killed?..and she still felt that way? Even after she could possibly have ended any chances of me getting a job? I never realized that what was how she felt.
I look at Chilton "That... how did you know about the ripper?"
He stayed quiet. "Because, me and Hannibal." He seemed to hate saying that name, I couldn't be mad though since I guess psychiatrists are almost like competing or something. "We sometimes work together" he said.
I nodded, I understood that now "You know Frederick, you aren't as bad as I had thought I guess. Though I hope if we ever go on more dates it won't be in a hospital room again." I joked lightly.
"Well, I was wondering if you would care to go to the opera with me." He tells me.
I instantly blush at that. "I would enjoy that, but I promised Hannibal my first time at the opera would be with him. Rain check?" I ask.
"of course, now let's dig in before the food gets cold." He says setting the food down on the tray.
I smiled at we ate Dinner together. A little fast food won't kill me.
-Time Skip-
I smiled as I looked in the mirror, I just hope I wasn't under dressed, I never really did anything like this I was wearing a F/c dress that I found in the back of my closet. I hugged Abigail. "Be careful and you're sure you'll be alright? I can call Wi-"
"Mom, I'm fine, calm down." I sighed and smiled lightly
"I know..." I heard a car beep and I knew Hannibal was here.
(Hannibal's pov)
I walked to the door after beeping the horn. I know it was rude but I am excited to be on a date with my (Name). Even though she does not know that this is a date and she thinks it is just two friends out for the evening. I am wearing a formal suit with a bow tie for the opera tonight. As I knock on the door I can feel butterflies in my stomach. This is my first kind of date with (Name). She opens the door and I am stunned by her beauty her dress fit her body so perfectly and brings out her (Eye Color) eyes. Her hair put up in a french twist and diamond teardrop ear rings. She is the vision of beauty.
She smiled at me and hugged me lightly as I once again took this opportunity to smell her scent. She always smelled so good to me..
I was sad when she pulled back but I didn't show it as I took her to the car.
-timeskip-
Throughout the entire opera I stole glances at (Name) she was so beautiful and so was the singing. As the woman ended the sing both me and (Name) stood up as we clapped. She really seemed to enjoy the opera. In which we will be attending more in the future. Her smile is raidient and breath taking. We went to go out to the hall for refreshments before leaving for the night. The night I did want to end it was perfect, until Chilton showed up that is.
"Hello, Dr. Lecter, (Name). How wonderful it is to see you both." He greets, looking at (Name) the whole time drinking in her beauty. "May I just say (Name), you look like the most beautiful creature to ever set foot on this earth. I am envious you did not take my offer to come to the opera."
I glared at him as I saw her face turn a bright red as she looked down shyly "T-Thank you" she smiled. "I had no idea you were going to be here otherwise I would have looked for you sooner."
It was at this point I wanted to kill him even more. But before I can say anything I saw one of my paitents, he has to be blunt and truely annoying.
"Hello, Dr. Lecter." He greets me.
"Hello Frankyln." I greet back not to be rude. "Did you enjoy the opera?"
"Yes, loved it." He says. "Though I was a bit distracted by the beauty beside you."
I now wanted to kill both of these two. I mentally growled.
"Thank you." (Name) is blushing even more. Not used to all these compliments.
"Your welcome. I am Franklyn Froideveaux. It is nice to meet you... um..." he says shaking her hand. That I wish to cut off.
"(Name) (Last Name)." She tells him. "It is nice to meet you too, Franklyn."
He smiled at her, acting like he had the right to smile at her. "So Franklyn, what are you doing here?" I ask, keeping my calm facade up.
"Oh me? I'm here with my friend Tobious." He then waves over a man, who has the same calmness on his face as mine.
"Everyone this is my friend Tobious, everyone Tobious." Franklyn greets.
"Hello." He greets. His eyes than land on (Name). "And who is this exquisite young women."
I nearly was ready to kill all three of them. (Name) blushes even more, I swear one more person says anything to her I will loose it.
"This is (Name) (Last Name) I believe she is Hannibal's date." Franklyn says.
She looked at me and then at Franklyn and shook her head. "o-o-oh no t-that's not i-it. D-Dr. L-Lector is m-my p-psychiatrist." she stuttered out, which if we weren't in these circumstances I would have thought it was adorable and kissed her, but we were in public.
"Really? He is my psychiatrist too." Franklyn says smiling.
"Really, what a small world it is." She smiles so brightly that all four males felt the warmth and genuin goodness of her smile.
They have no right to see her smile like that... No one does. She is mine! Only I can see her it like that.
"Not only am I her psychiatrist, but I am also her friend and soon to be her boss." I tell him. Secretly braging that I spend so much time with her.
"Really, you are a Secretary?" Tobious asks.
"Well I am going to be for a bit. I was a teacher at the FBI Academy but a artical Freddie Lounds wrote. Kind of ruin that. So Hannibal as a good friend offered me a job until I get another one." She explained smiling at me. "Which I am truly grateful for."
"Ah, that is where I seen you before. Your the girl the Cheasepeake Ripper is after." Tobious says.
"Yeah, that is me." She says with a frown.
"If I may say the picture on the article does not do you justice." He tells her.
Her blush is back. "Thank you."
He smiled at her, which made me even more mad, good thing I can hold back my frown. "I can see why he likes you."
She blushed even more. "I'm really not that interesting. All I really do is take care of Abigail and listen to Orchestra music."
"So you like instruments?"
"Yeah I do, especially cellos, you have to be talented to play one."
"I love the cello, I play it for the Orchestra and the opera. Along with the other string instruments." He tells her.
"That is amazing. I tried to learn how to play the cello. But I am not skilled at it. I am fairly well at the piano though." She tells him.
"Really now? I tried the piano but I couldn't play that" she smiled at him "then perhaps I'll have to try and teach you" she joked lightly.
I knew she was being nice but I didn't like the looks he was giving her.
