So Many Doubts
Ch. 1
"Don 't Know What to Think"
Brittany was at her house on a Saturday thinking about her relationship with Alvin, wondering if he was her boyfriend or if she was just another one of his many admirers. She sighed as she stared at his picture on her dresser. Jeanette entered.
"Britt what is on your mind? Haven't you called Alvin at all today or even went to the park to watch him practice? Is everything okay?"
She looked up at her sister,
"What for, he has many girls that watch him play football, and that call him why am I any different? He's a major Rockstar and a flirt and a half."
Jeanette sighed and shook her head.
"Britt you're such a drama queen, maybe that is why he flirts so much? You are no different and don't deny it."
She looked at her sister with her arms crossed.
"Exactly what does that mean Jean? You don't see me flirting like he does and you know it's the truth. Why are you on his side anyway I am your sister."
Jeanette looked at her.
"First, I am not against you Britt. I was just asking you why are you home on a Saturday and you blew up on me. Second, I just came back from the park and Alvin asked me if you were okay? So, what there are other girls watching him practice you are his girl and he has told you that many times."
Brittany sighed.
"Yea sure when we're alone but not in public. When we are in public he just acts like my friend and nothing more. I am not going; he sees me he will flirt with all those girls just to get on my nerves."
~Back at the park~
Alvin was still practicing as girls swooned over him and his great looks. He sat down under a tree and sipped his water and sighed. Janine approached him.
"Alvin you are so fine, and we are very lucky to have you on our team as our captain. Are you sure you won't take me up on the offer for a date?"
He shook his head.
"I told you many times I am not looking to date anyone Janine. I had too many problems in my past with girls I dated and am not looking. Now please stop asking me the answer is no."
Simon watched as Janine walked away and approached his brother.
"Alvin, did it ever occur to you those girls are the reason Brittany hasn't bothered you all day? She knows that you are a flirt and gets angry when you do that. But you just keep it up. You need to come clean and tell these girls you're taken before you lose Brittany."
He looked at his brother.
"Si, Britt is crazy about me she will never dump me. She's just being stubborn and avoiding the park because my fans are always swooning over me when I practice and when I am on stage. You worry too much Brainiac."
Theodore looked at him.
"Si is right Alvin; Brittany is getting tired of it and doesn't consider you her boyfriend. So, you better do something she doesn't want to be with you anymore because of your constant flirting."
Alvin spits out his water.
"Did she tell you that Theo? Come on answer me."
Simon looked.
"No, but Jeanette said that is what Brittany said earlier today when she asked her why she didn't come to the park and then she threw her out of her room."
Alvin froze and put his shirt back on and the girls screamed at him.
"Alvin we love you! You're so fine can't you be mine?"
He shook his head and headed toward Brittany's. He knocked on the door. Eleanor answered and looked at him.
"She really doesn't want to see you right now Alvin. She is upset so I advise you to leave and let her cool down."
He looked at Eleanor.
"Will you let me go talk to her please."
Brittany appeared at the top of the stairs.
"Talk to me about what Alvin, Jenny sent me a picture of you two kissing so who do you think you're kidding?"
He looked at her.
"Britt what are you talking about? I told you this a million times there is no other girl for me but you. Why don't you believe me?"
She crossed her arms still not moving from the top of the stairs.
"Gee I don't know, maybe because no one knows that we are together. In public, all you do is act like my best friend not my boyfriend. You also flirt with all the pretty girls; how do you expect me to believe you that I am your girlfriend whatever Alvin just leave I don't want to see you right now."
He heard her bedroom door slam and headed back home to his house.
"Tell Dave I am in my room napping after I take a shower. Then wake me up when dinner is ready Theo."
Theodore looked and shook his head.
"Okay, Alvin I'll tell Dave. Eleanor and Jeanette are eating over to."
Alvin sighed.
"At least you two still have your girlfriends. See all four of you at dinner."
Theodore had a sad face as Alvin closed his door and entered the living room where Simon, Jeanette, and Eleanor were watching a movie while Dave was in the kitchen cooking dinner.
"I really hope that Brittany didn't dump Alvin."
Simon shrugged.
"Maybe he should get dumped Theo, he is always flirting with other girls when he is supposed to be with Brittany and he doesn't even tell those girls he is taken. It's no one else's fault but his own. Besides, in public, he treats her like a friend nothing else. Let's just drop it and enjoy the movie with the girls Theo."
Dave heard Alvin's door close and entered the living room.
"Why is Alvin so upset? Simon answer me."
Simon looked up.
"He and Brittany got into another fight, Dave. I think she broke up with him, he came from her house and had a sad face on and told us he is going to take a nap after he takes a shower."
Eleanor looked at Dave.
"Yes that is right but Simon here said maybe it serves him right if Brittany dumped him. He was really being mean about it also Dave."
Theodore looked up.
"Yes, he really was being mean about it Dave. I was trying to cheer Alvin up not pick on him like Simon did. I hope he will be alright I hate seeing him sad."
Dave looked at his youngest.
"He will be fine Theodore. Simon stop being like that toward your brother he is older than you and I expect you to respect it now when he comes to dinner don't start on him. I mean it Simon."
~In Alvin's room~
He exited his shower and looked at the picture of Brittany and sighed. Then he turned it upside down and laid in his bed staring up at his ceiling. His cell rang and he looked at the caller ID and answered.
'No Janine and how did you get my number? No, I will not go on a date with you now stop asking me and lose my number! What do you mean why won't I date you? I won't date you because I am taken by Brittany that's why now stop calling me I am not single alright I said it goodbye.'
He hung up his cell and put it on the charger as he drifted off to sleep.
~Back at the girls' house~
Brittany laid in her bed staring at the picture of Alvin and tears fell as she stared at the picture of Alvin kissing Jenny.
'Therefore I can't be with you Alvin all you do is flirt and no one knows that we are together I can't take it.'
She cried herself to sleep. Her cell rang and she answered trying not to let her friend Jaime know that she was crying.
'Britt, are you okay? Were you just crying? That picture of Alvin kissing Jenny is a phony…here I am sending you the real picture. Something that Janine just told me has me puzzled one sec.'
Brittany sat up as she wiped her tears and looked at the picture that Jaime sent her. She saw Alvin push her away from him and then the video of Alvin walking away from Jenny also downloaded. Brittany stared at it and shook her head.
'Oh no, there I go again accusing Alvin of not being true. What has you puzzled that Janine told you?'
Jaime responded in the phone.
'That Alvin won't go out with her because he's taken by you. I don't know where she comes up with these lies.'
Brittany hung up her phone and got some clothes on and headed to the boys' house.
"Miss Miller I am going to join Jean and Ellie at the boys' house for dinner see you in a bit."
Miss Miller called to her.
"Okay, Brittany dear. Put a jacket on it's a Lil' chilly."
Brittany threw her black leather jacket that matched Alvin's but with a B, not an A that he bought her for her birthday. Then she made her way to the boys' house. She knocked and Theodore answered.
"Hey Brittany, what brings you here I thought you broke up with Alvin. I am going to let Dave know you are joining us for dinner."
Brittany entered the house and hung her jacket saying hi to Dave.
"Hey Brittany nice of you to join us, I think Alvin is napping."
Brittany looked and made her way up to Alvin's room opening it quietly as she watched him sleep. Then she walked over by his bureau and lifted the picture of her as she kissed him on the forehead. Then she took her shoes and socks off resting her head on his bare chest falling asleep soundly.
Alvin opened his eyes and brushed Brittany's bangs away from her eyes and kissed her lips falling back to sleep. She smiled in her sleep as he held her close.
Around 630 Dave went up the stairs and knocked on Alvin's door.
"Alvin and Brittany dinner is ready. Come eat before it gets cold."
Alvin woke up and stretched shaking Brittany.
"Come on Britt let's eat then after dinner we talk."
She smiled at him and nodded as they made their way down the stairs to the dining room to eat. Simon looked at them both and then went back to his dinner. Jeanette smacked him.
"Simon, will you stop already? Can we just eat and enjoy please?"
Alvin glared at Simon.
"You're cruising for a bruising Brainiac, keep it up I'll hurt you. You just do things to get under my skin and make me lose my temper!"
Dave looked at both.
"Alvin and Simon enough eat your dinner and stop fighting or you will both be grounded I mean it."
They finished eating and Theodore and Eleanor cleaned off the table and did the dishes. Simon and Jeanette cleaned the table with a rag. Dave turned to Alvin.
"Take out the trash Alvin it's your turn. Don't argue with me either young man."
Alvin took out the garbage while Brittany waited in his room for him. He went upstairs and looked at Brittany with his arms crossed.
"Still think I am a flirt, Britt? I told you many times you are the only girl for me. Why do you still have doubts? Just because girls stare at me while I am practicing or drool over me at my games and my concerts doesn't mean I love them, Britt. You are the only one I want to be with, but you can't keep on accusing me of not being true. Because I am very true to you, so what I flirt doesn't mean I don't love you. When I flirt with other girls, you are the one I hold in my arms, not them. After Monday, they will all know I am not single and that I am with you. I might be a major Rockstar but no Alvin fangirl will ever replace my #1 chipette."
She smiled at him and hugged him tightly.
"Oh, Alvie I love you so much. You really do have a sweet and romantic side."
Alvin smiled at her.
"Only for you babe."
