Unwanted Attention
Part 4
Clarice went even redder and was about to say something before Hannibal graciously stood up. He walked over to Clarice and kissed her cheek. He pulled her arm gently into the kitchen and shut the door. "Now, Clarice" he said softly. "Don't going doing or saying something you might regret. She is here as a guest and we should treat her like one." Clarice interrupted him, with an angry tone. "Hannibal, she just made a pass at you. She put her filthy hands where it doesn't belong. I'm going to..." Hannibal grabbed her and kissed her fully on the lips. They locked eyes and then Hannibal abruptly pulled away. She looked stunned. He looked amused. He had a sparkle in his eye and pulled her close against his chest, and whispered in her ear. "It pleases me immensely to see to see your strong determination and fighting spirit in your eyes, but there is no need to be jealous my dear. I only have eyes for you." He let that sink in to her mind for a moment, then continued. "I no that Ms Jane Pullum in there, has a soft spot for me. I have no doubt that she will try and make you do something stupid, so she can tell everyone what a crazy nut you are. She is very talkative to everyone at work, she is one to gossip. So please Clarice, try and control your self and be polite"
Clarice pulled away and had an understanding in her eyes. She new that Hannibal's work colleagues were suspicious of him, because he never had any visitors and no one knew anything about him. Hannibal was trying to make a point. If he invited the one that gossiped the most, then everyone would no that they were just a normal friendly couple with no secrets. Even though that wasn't true, but if people grew to suspicious, then they would have to leave Paris. Clarice also knew that Hannibal has displeasure of inviting guests. Especially rude ones. She saw the distaste in his eyes when Ms Pullum put her hand on his thigh.
"Hannibal, I will control myself if you only sit next to ME." Clarice came closer and put her head on his chest, smelling his aftershave. "Hmmmm" she sighed trying to undo a button. He grabbed her hand. "Not now. Later." He murmured, kissing her hand softly. "I promise". He had great restraint from not taking her then and there. He had seen murder in her eyes only moments before, and that had set him on fire.
"Are you ready to go back in there?" He indicated to the door with the slight turn of his head." She smiled. "Yes, I am." They smiled at each other lovingly and he winked at her, then they walked out.
BANG. He crumbled to the floor with a slight cut on the top of his head. Unconscious. Both women stood at the doorway looking down at him, shocked. Jane looked up at Clarice with a grin on her face. "Well, this is not what I had planned. I was hoping you would come out first, but well, this looks more interesting." She threw the metal ornament on the floor that she hit Hannibal with and quickly advanced on Clarice, putting a chloroform cloth over her mouth. Clarice had no time to react. She was to shocked for what happened to Hannibal. She collapsed to the floor next to him. Unconscious. They didn't awake until hours later.
I no this chapter is short, but I will have more up soon. Reviews are appreciated. :) Thanks
