Thanks for all those reviews guys! You know how to encourage me to continue writing! So this chapter is mainly going to be on Cecily's first day at work with some Wessa moments squeezed in between. If you're disappointed there hasn't been any proper Wessa and/or Cecily and Gabriel moments, I hope you love this chapter!
Heart With Love: I don't mind the small review, any review is good enough for me!
The-Finale-Hope: I love all the couples, including Jessa and Wessa. I fangirl about all of the couples in TID.
Faytherwafers: Magnus was referring to Alec, but the TMI gang won't appear. I think it's just gonna make things more complicated. Sorry if I disappointed you.
SilverCarstairs: OMG YOU'RE LIKE MY NEW BEST FRIEND. I honestly ship them more than Wessa, I don't know why. No, Willie, shall not be it because that is as bad as Peenis (Peeta and Katniss). Hmm, how about Jell? if not, i'm all for Jessiam.
The interview went good.
The owner of the cafe, Marshall's Latte, asked Cecily her name, age, and if she had any experience. She told him that she didn't, so he offered her (his name is Marshall) to work today and tomorrow for now so he could see how good she was as a waitress. She agreed and thanked him. She tied her hair in a bun, grabbed an apron, and began working with Sophie. So far, she was doing okay. She chatted to children, flirted with the single men, and fangirled over couples. Sophie had given a thumbs up as they passed each other. It was actually fun working.
The best thing is no one knew Will, they just knew her. She was Cecily Herondale, the new waitress at Marshall's Latte.
Gideon never felt amazing unless he was kissing Sophie. They had actually kept on kissing for ten minutes with Gideon pinning Sophie to the wall. She had kissed him back. He felt the sparks, however the moment was interrupted when Cecily had come knocking on Sophie's door, telling her it was time to go to town. Sophie had told Cecily she was still getting dressed from inside the room as she pushed Gideon to her closet.
That had not been amazing being trapped between her clothes and trying not to step on Sophie's shoes. Still, it's the thought that counts.
Will could not understand why everyone was glowing as they ate dinner in the dining hall. The food was good, but not good enough to have stupid smiles. The only ones who weren't glowing were him, Jessamine, Gabriel, Nate, Henry and Charlotte. He and Gabriel were the only ones who noticed. Nate was checking out Jessamine who seemed out of it. Probably from our kiss, Will thought. Henry was eating mashed potato with gravy as Charlotte rubbed her forehead. She obviously had a headache.
"Why is everyone so happy?" Gabriel whispered to Will.
"I'm starting to believe, Lightworm, that we have missed a sex session or something," he muttered back to Gabriel.
Gabriel eyed the glowing people. "Who do you think fucked who?" he inquired.
"Well, since Sophie and Cecily were alone at town, they must have have had sex and Jem, Tessa, and Gideon must have had a threesome."
"Our siblings have a lot of explaining to do."
"Yeah. Like, why didn't they invite me?" Will demanded.
"Because they're sane."
"Tessa!" She turned to see Will running after. "I was looking for you!"
"I was about to go to the library," she told him, "what's wrong?"
"Nothing. I just wanted to ask you if you wanted to come with me to the bookstore."
"The bookstore?"
Will nodded. "I'm going to town tomorrow to buy some new books. I thought you'd like to come," he explained.
Tessa smiled and agreed. She was glowing again, not the Will didn't mind. From up-close, he wanted her to always glow. She looked beautiful in that moment.
"Great," he breathed, "I'll tell you when to get ready, okay?"
"Okay," she responded.
Will began to turn away when he remembered something. "Tessa?"
"Yeah, Will?"
"Did you have a threesome with Jem and Gideon?"
"want to go to a cafe tomorrow?"
a reply to the text says: "yeah, sure. do you have any cafes in mind?"
"no. i forgot how the town even looks like."
"how very smart of you."
"shut up. any cafes you know?"
"starbucks?"
"no."
"fine. marshall's latte?"
"as long as it's better than starbucks."
Jem knocked on Tessa's door with a wide grin. It only took a few seconds before Tessa's door is swung open revealing the beautiful girl herself. She was still in her clothes from dinner and she was clutching a book upside down.
Her face broke into a similar grin like his when she saw Jem. "Hey," she exclaimed happily.
"Hey," he greeted her back, "I was thinking we could have our date tomorrow?"
Tessa's grin disappeared. "Oh. I can't."
"You can't?"
"Well," she fiddled with the hem of her shirt, "I already told Will that I'd go with him to the bookstore."
Jem's grin disappeared too. "Oh."
"Look, Jem, I'm sorry. I just..when I hear the word book I forget everything else."
He gave her a small smile. "It's alright. I know how you love books."
"I can cancel with Will if you want," Tessa said, but her mind was far away. Weren't boys suppose to get mad and protective if a girl cancels a date just to go somewhere with a guy friend? That always happened in books, but Jem was calm and smiling and understanding.
"No. You have a good time," he told her, smiling. He tucked her hair behind her ear. That made Tessa blush.
"Come with us," she blurted out, "please." That made Jem grin.
"No way. I've seen how Will is when he's in a bookstore. I rather not be trapped with two book-lovers," he teased.
"Oh shut up," she laughed, punching his shoulder lightly.
"But promise me one thing."
"What?"
"When the owner tells you leave because he wants to close, make sure Will doesn't sneak in again or refuse to leave."
"I might do the same as Will so no promises," she informed him. Jem just smiled and kissed her.
"Aren't those my late waitresses?" Marshall joked when Sophie and Cecily entered the cafe.
"Blame the bus driver. He made us late," Sophie protested. Marshall just rolled his eyes, teasingly. Marshall was a family man in his late thirties or early forties. Despite being a family man, he looked quite fit with his broad shoulders and fast movement in making coffee. It must be handy when you're looking after the children.
"Hey Marshall," Cecily greeted him, shooting a grin.
"Cecily!" he exclaimed, as if she was an old friend, "I have to admit you did a good job yesterday. Do the same today and the job is your's."
Cecily grinned. "You can count on it."
"Even when she's about to buy more books, she'll stay in the library until the last minute," Will said in an amused voice.
Tessa looked up. He was standing in front of her seat. "I wonder why when I come here," she muttered, "the devil always decides to follow me."
"I am not a devil," Will argued, "people have called me angel and I am with my amazing blue eyes."
"The blue eyes are a trick."
He grabbed Tessa's wrist and pulled her up. She found her body pressed against his. "Well, Tessa, you are a very bad Christian girl hanging around with the devil," he whispered and Tessa almost agreed.
Cecily's back was turned when the door opened and slammed shut. She was busy serving a happy newly married couple. She glanced to the kitchen door, but she could hear Sophie's soft voice singing as she made coffee.
She smiled at the couple after putting their drinks on the table just as someone called, "Waitress!" The voice was familiar. Cecily turned and stopped when she saw Gabriel and Gideon sitting near the window. Gabriel's eyes widened as his jaw dropped. Gideon just raised his eyebrows. She finally moved toward them.
"Hello and welcome to Marshall's Latte," Cecily said in a fake-happy voice. "I'm your waitress for today and how can I help you?"
"Does Will know you work here?" Gabriel blurted out before Gideon could order his drink. She fidgeted awkwardly at Gabriel's question. A smirk played on his lips as he understood. "He doesn't know, does he?"
"You can't tell him," she snapped, glaring at Gabriel. He kept on smirking.
Gideon just muttered that he wanted black coffee and went to the bathroom. "Why shouldn't I tell him?" he said, amused.
"Because he doesn't like me working, okay? So can you please not tell him?"
"What's in it for me?"
Cecily clenched her teeth. "What do you want?" she demanded.
"Countless favors from you whenever I ask."
"Fine, but sex isn't included," she told him.
Gabriel just raised his eyebrows. "You know I'm not a pervert to ask you to have sex with me," he said, "have some faith."
Faith doesn't exist, Cecily thought, not with you or anybody and especially not with Will.
Will parked his car infront of the bookstore. "You drive good for a complete maniac," Tessa commented as she and Will got out of the car.
"First, a devil. Now a maniac?" Will muttered, pretending to be offended. "Why do you think that?"
"Because you believe ducks are evil when they're so cute."
"Oh God, you're a duck-believer like Jem?"
"Duck-believer?" she snorted as Will opened the door for her. She stepped in and she felt her heart stop at the sight of the many books in the bookstore. Entering a bookstore or library was like always entering a dream for Tessa. A real dream.
"Yes. A duck-believer. That exists," Will responded, cutting Tessa from her thoughts, to her earlier statement.
"No it doesn't. You just made that up."
"Did not."
"Did so."
Will sighed. "What did I get myself into by going out with a duck-believer?" he muttered before disappearing among the books. Tessa just rolled her eyes and began looking for books to buy. After an hour, Will came up from behind her. "I'm going to buy these," Will announced waving two books. Tessa grabbed Will's wrists to stop them from moving and read the titles. The Fault In Our Stars and Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Lightning Thief.
"I didn't know you liked those type of books," Tessa commented. She looked up to see Will staring at her in awe and that he was blushing. She realized she was still holding his wrists and let go. Will looked sort of disappointed.
"What do you mean 'those type of books'? This one is romance and the other is fantasy," he responded, confused.
"Those are modern books."
"Welcome to the modern age, Tessa."
She rolled her eyes. "You're not funny."
"I am very funny," Will told her, "so what type of books do you read?"
"Classics," she answered with no hesitation.
"So you read Dickens's books?" he inquired. Tessa nodded and Will groaned. "So you probably adore Tale of Two Cities , don't you?"
"What's wrong with that book?" she coldly demanded. That book was her all-time favorite. She grew up with that book. She loves that book. It was something she got instead of a friend.
"It's stupid. What kind of person dies for love when the girl has chosen someone else?"
"It doesn't matter," Tessa explained defensively. "As long as you really do love someone, you'll do anything for them."
"That's stupid.
"You're stupid. Don't you understand love?"
Her eyes met with Will's blue ones and she forgot she was in a bookstore. She only saw blue eyes gazing into her boring gray eyes. Finally, Will whispered, "I might understand sooner than you expect."
I DID IT! I WROTE A WESSA CHAPTER! I think my Wessa moments were written better than my Jessa's. I'll try to improve that. I'm going to be honest and say I fear that I made Gabriel out of character towards Cecily, I don't know, but it was the only perfect way for their love story to work, so yeah. I love the comments guys, they make my day. YOU'RE ALL AWESOME, THANKS. I love you guys. Okay? Okay. Bye and please request a couple you like to read more about in the next chapter (other than Jessa and Wessa. I already planned Jessa's chapter, but it won't be the next and I already wrote a Wessa chapter). Bye xoxo
