Hannibal: Your Mine

Chapter 5: Ivy...

Ivy's POV

When I got home, I got ready for work. Instead of picking up my dress, I picked up Hannibal's jumper. It was nice and it would go with my new shorts, oh fine I'll wear it! Yes, I was angry but more at myself for falling for his charm. Yes, it was just a kiss, but it felt...Good. I rushed to my car and blared my music. I attempted to clear my head but no avail.

I made my way to the canteen, but was surprised to see Dr.Bloom. She used to my be my teacher when I was training and we always kept in touch. She had just finished a phone call.
"Dr.Bloom?"

"Ivy! Hannibal and I were just talking about you"

"Hannibal! Um...What did he say?"

"He said he's not feeling the best, weren't you at his house last night?"

"Umm yeah...We drank a lot, maybe a bad hangover. For once, I was alright"

"Hannibal never over drinks...Did something happen?"

"Nothing happen! I swear..."
She dropped the matter and brought me an espresso; My favourite. She had just finished a two hour lesson and was on her way to see the latest victim in the colour palette murder.This was the name Will and Beverly had given it. As we made our way to the lift, Jack met us. We didn't say a word. Jack had a ruff night. Bella stopped breathing, and had to be taken into hospital. It was times like this, when Jack showed weakness. He was weak, but only I could see it; I knew Jack too well.
We were there for a good hour, before Hannibal walked in. I couldn't help but stare. I felt both Jack and Alanna's gaze as I turned to face him.
"Hannibal, I thought you were sick?" Alanna questioned.

"I got my second wind" He made direct eye contact with me. He gave me a smile which sent shivers down my spine.
"You forgot your dress, Ivy" He said with a wink. I couldn't help but blush. Jack saw everything. He knew something was up. I turned around to meet his hateful gaze. Jack's eye were filled with both anger and fear.
"Ivy, can I talk with you? Your doctor called last night...Um, may we speak in private?"

"Sure..." I knew what to expect. I was like Jack's daughter. He and Bella didn't have any children and I was the daughter he always dreamed of. I guess he had the right to be mad.
"What the fuck happened?!"

"Nothing happened Jack"

"He has your dress! And, are you wearing his jumper?!"

Hannibal's POV
"What is going on?!" Yelled/Whispered Alanna

"We did nothing, trust me. I wouldn't lie to you, Alanna"

"Why do you have her dress then?"

"Long story..."
I explained everything. She was hard to convince. Her faced changed to that one I saw the day we first met; That soft, caring face.
"I think you might need to explain this to Jack. Poor Ivy, is being grilled pretty hard out there"
With that, Jack and Ivy came out of the hall. Ivy hung her head in shame as Jack lead her by the hand. I thought as something in my mind...Something that would make her...Mine...in a way.
"Jack, would you and Ivy care to come to my house for dinner and we can clear this whole mess?"

"That sounds....Fine"
Ivy looked up and stared into my eyes. Her soft Amber eyes tried to fight our gaze. I walced over to Ivy.
"Is Wednesday alright with you,Ivy?" I Said, making my way to her. "Maybe we'll get you home on time"
