(Twilight Fanfic/Reporters Series Book 1) Cecily Stewart has her life figured out. She's an award-winning investigative journalist and doesn't need anyone but herself. It's a lesson she learned the hard way as a child, but not trusting anyone kept h...
The next day, Cecily sat in Alice's room, gazing longingly out the window at the picturesque town as the sun shone brightly. The book from the previous night - which happened to be an old edition of Canterbury Tales - sat idly in her lap.
"So... anything interesting happen last night after I left?" Alice asked.
Cecily looked over at her, seeing both Alice and Rosalie with expectant expressions.
"Nothing. Just found the library," Cecily said, looking back down at the book.
Alice shared a look with Rosalie and smiled.
"Didn't run into anyone?" Alice pushed.
"No one worth mentioning," Cecily replied as she turned a page. She was about half-way through the book. Rosalie rolled her eyes.
"I know about Demetri," she said. Cecily looked up at her before settling on scowling at Alice.
"What? I had to tell someone!" Alice said. "And Jasper wasn't interested in hearing the story." Cecily rolled her eyes.
"I ran into him in the library. Nothing happened," she said, looking back down at the book. "Nothing is going to happen."
"So, you don't feel... anything... for Demetri?" Rosalie asked.
"Other than an extreme amount of annoyance?" Cecily replied, looking up at her. Rosalie chuckled. "It's not funny! He wants to make me his vampire bride!"
"Stop being so dramatic, Cess," Rosalie replied.
"I'm not! You should have heard him. He kept calling me his mate!" Cecily said, finally abandoning the book as she sat it aside. "How archaic is that?"
Rosalie and Alice just stared at her a moment before looking at each other.
"Maybe we should get Esme," Rosalie said.
"She would have advice for this situation," Alice said.
"No! The last thing I want is for everyone to know about this!" Cecily snapped.
"Too late..." Rosalie muttered under her breath. Cecily's eyes widened.
"Who have you told?" she bellowed.
"Well... I tell Emmett everything," Rosalie said. "And then... Bella and Edward may have overheard..."
Cecily rolled her eyes as she huffed and sat back in the chair.
"So, basically everyone knows?" she asked.
"There aren't many secrets in this family," Alice said. "You'll get used to it."
Cecily just shook her head.
"What are you going to do?" Rosalie asked.
"Easy. Avoid him," Cecily said.
"You know you can't avoid him forever," Alice said.
"But I can avoid him for the next few days. And then we can go home and I never have to see him again," Cecily said. Rosalie and Alice glanced at each other and then looked at her again. "Surely it's not that hard."
