Long Summer Days
Ch 1
"Loneliness or Not"
As we drove toward summer camp I kept myself preoccupied by talking to my baby Alvin Seville lead singer of the Chipmunks on my cell to drown out these Alvin groupies talking trash bout me. Puzzled I asked him.
'Oh Alvin how can our parents split us up like this? How will I ever cope without being with you this summer? 8 weeks of loneliness and listening to all your fans talk trash bout me cause I'm with you. Mind you our year and 6 month anniversary also passes during those 8 weeks of loneliness. Life is so cruel I swear.'
I heard him laugh as he responded.
"Britt they do say that distance makes the heart fonder. Besides my camp is right across from the lake of yours and we have lunch together and once a week swim time. You'll be fine I promise. Just because Simon, Jeanette, Theodore and Eleanor can be together doesn't mean you won't be on my mind as the days pass. We'll just have to make the best of the little time we have to be together until this summer of hell ends. Sorry bout the foul mouth but I'm so angry that we're split up like this when we had so many opportunities to experience what our brothers and sisters have and decided not to. I just don't understand why Ms. Miller and Dave are making us be apart. Britt you still there Brittany'
I looked at my cell and clenched my fists as the bars on my cell faded in and out. Sadly I proclaimed.
'Alvin I'm going to have to let you go. My signal on my cell is slowly fading and you're breaking up. Love you Alvin; Brittany out.'
I heard his response right before my stupid cell dropped his call. Then I got mad and threw my cell phone in my duffle bag. Several of my friends said.
"Oh Britt it can't be that bad. We'll hook up with some hot guys to get your mind off that two- timing, chauffenistic, rude, not worth your while rock star you call your man. It's time you move on and find someone else who'll treat you right unlike that ass and nine fool."
I glared and yelled.
"Stop referring to him like that. He's not like that at all. I've known him practically all my life now enough! You have no right to say that about him; you only see the way he is on stage and in public. I know he seems rude and full of himself; but when we're together his other side comes out. He may be a rock star but he's also a romantic when we're alone. More than you can say about boys his age anyway! I'm not listening to you trash talking my man; when every last one of you girls swoon over him when he hits that stage! Don't deny it either; I see it at every concert I know more than you'll may think!"
After I had my say the whole bus became silent. We arrived at 10:30am and had to get our cabin assignments from the counselors in charge. As I got off the bus and fixed Alvin's nameplate around my neck from the corner of my eye I noticed one of the counselors several years older than me staring at me smiling. I walked over to him to get my cabin assignment. He smiled at me after he put his shades down.
"Hey there pretty young thing did anyone ever tell you how pretty your eyes are in that shade of blue? If they haven't let me the 1st one to tell you so. Besides your perfect body those eyes complete you."
I paused for a minute and responded.
"Thank you for noticing, but I'm taken for almost two years. Can I have my cabin assignment Josh?"
After I told him that his smile turned to a frown cause I turned him down. He looked at me and I got a chill go down my spine.
"Very well your name young lady please."
I didn't care; all I wanted to do was get away from him cause a chill went down my spine when he took his shades off his eyes completely. I responded nervously.
"Brit-t- any Miller is my name."
He handed me my schedule and I ran off as fast as my two legs could carry me. When I got to my cabin I felt my stomach turn when I realized my cabin buddies were my two worse enemies and my best friend Amanda. Not meaning Amanda made my stomach turn but my man's ex and her damn lackey that jumped me the last day of 7th grade caused my stomach to turn. Samantha glared and so did Rhonda as I got in my bunk above Amanda.
"Well, well look at who it is; Ms. Captain. The little chipmunk all alone without her sisters to back her up! Cry! Brittany like the child you are! The little sluttish lead singer of the Chipettes who can't keep her hands off other people's men! Yea Brittany I mean ALVIN!!"
I glared and yelled.
"Excuse me; look who's talking. Too many guys slept with you for you to be saying a word to me Ms. Blonde! Another thing neither of you scare me; now get that through your heads! I am in no mood for this! We may be cabin buddies; but remain enemies so stay out of my path KABISH!!"
I turned my head away from those two idiots and unpacked my duffle. While I unpacked Amanda asked.
"So why did your parents split you two up this summer? Is there something you should be telling me hmm? Like you're not telling the truth about when you two were in that hotel room together while you were on that big US tour last year?"
I shook my head.
"No I have no idea why our parents split us up like this? Neither does he; and neither of us can get signals at our camps so we'll never know. I wish Jean and Elle were here to help me cope with these two trash talkers. But no instead they're at the same camp as his brothers while I have to stay in this cabin with my two worse enemies!!"
Amanda saw me break down in tears as I stared at Alvin's nameplate around my neck. She got on my bunk and held me close.
"Britt stop crying. I know it's not easy for you to be without Alvin during the summer but you have to stop crying. You're giving those two more to ridicule you about."
As I wiped the tears from my eyes I overheard Samantha tell Rhonda.
"Too bad Ms. Brittany has no idea how good a lover Alvin is! Unlike her I do and would do him all over again if I could. Too bad so sad she has no idea how bad he really is! How many girls have had the opportunity to se what's under that chipmunk boy!"
I started to get angry and Amanda yelled.
"Britt don't you dare listen to that crap! That is his personality nothing else and Samantha only fantasized about making love to ALVIN! Brittany are you listening to me? BRITTANY don't do this again! Alvin's camp will be at the mess hall this afternoon. Don't you dare go and scream at him for her lies and obsession! If he had experience believe me he'd tell you and I know for a fact he swore he didn't. Ignore her! BRITTANY!! "
No matter how much she tried to make me calm down the anger boiled inside of me as I pictured Samantha on top of Alvin! Realizing how obsessed she had become since he dumped her to be with me made me wonder if he was telling the truth or playing around with my mind! I was determined to get the truth out of him if it meant for me to dump his butt to get the answers I wanted especially the details she described made me go back to the night we made out passionately on the bed.
Around 12:30pm we made our way to the mess hall. I got my food but played with it trying desperately to get the things Samantha said about Alvin from my mind. Miranda nudged me.
"Ooh Britt I think Josh likes you! Brittany are you there? Hello talk to me already!"
I shook my head and turned toward Amanda.
"I can't believe how many girls he slept with! Yet every time I try he pushes me away!!"
In confusion Miranda looked.
"Umm Britt whop slept with a lot of girls? Hello?"
I screamed it out and he heard me say it.
"Alvin my so called boyfriend that's who! No good chauffenistic, girl swapping conceited jerk!"
At that moment a familiar cologne was behind me and I didn't care! I heard Miranda and Amanda greet him and of course Samantha trying to get him to take her back! I heard him yell.
"For the millionth time leave me alone I'm with Brittany! You lucked out now be gone! Again you telling people I am a playa and slept with a bunch of girls! You have your nerve! Do me a favor and go get a vibrator to satisfy your damn fantasies about me! Keep my name from your mouth you blonde little slut and bring Rhonda with you too!"
I still remained silent and ignore him sitting next to me. I heard him ask.
"Brit what's the matter? Brittany why do you seem so angry at me? I'm right here talk to me will you? BRITTANY!"
I looked up and glared at him.
"Because I found out why you're known as the bad boy of the Chipmunks; that's why! Just leave me alone you disgust me!"
I ran out of the mess hall hoping he'd follow me! As I ran out I heard Samantha and Rhonda laughing. Like I had hoped he ran after me. I still played it off like I was pissed off at him. Just to be alone with him and get down to the bottom of the crap I heard in the cabin earlier today. Knowing that Alvin was 10 times faster than me I knew it would be seconds before he caught up with me. Like I predicted he grabbed me from behind. As he held me I yelled.
"I said leave me alone you playa!"
He yelled.
"Brittany enough! Look at me and stop doing this! Tell me what you're so disgusted about! Brittany!"
I looked up and into his beautiful sky blue eyes hidden by that stupid red cap I so hated.
"Samantha told Rhonda about your reputation and I over heard it! Now I know why you won't make love to me; I'm just not good enough for you! Then just dump me and stop pretending you're in love with me when you like your girls and could never stay with one! I can't take the games anymore Alvin it really hurts!"
He shook his head as he wiped the tears from my eyes.
"Brittany what reputation? Why do you listen to her anyway? I am not pretending that I'm in love with you either! Look into my eyes when I'm talking to you; I'm madly in love with you Brittany Miller and don't need any other girls to be happy. I have you what more could I possibly want when I have all I want right here. I mean it from the bottom of my heart! I'm the bad boy because that's just my personality. I don't mean it that way either! Now promise me you will not let her lies corrupt your mind about us. Brittany promise me you'll ignore her!"
I nodded and smiled at him as I went on my tip toes.
"I promise to ignore her because I too am madly in love with you Alvin Seville! Oh Alvin I love you so much ! Sorry about acting like such a bitch towards you. Can you ever forgive me?"
He smiled at me and embraced me tightly as he lifted up my chin. Then I wrapped my arms around him and our lips met. Then our tongues touched and I closed my eyes. I felt his hands moving from my waist and inside my shirt. Then we descended to the bank of the lake and kissed passionately. I felt my shirt go over my head and didn't care at all. Instead I undid his shirt and slipped it off as my hands caressed his smooth chest. We heard the bell ring and I let him up. I put my shirt back on and tied it by my mid drift. I watched as he buttoned up his shirt and and asked.
"Alvin do you swear you haven't had any yet? Are you telling me the truth that Simon and Theodore are the only ones with experience out of you 3? I just don't want to be another page in your history ALVIN!"
He laughed and responded.
"Yes I swear I never have. Mainly because I never had enough trust in the many girls that used me because of my fame, money, and talent. Well until I got with you that is. Like I told you several times just tell me when you're ready. Alright baby I got to be going baby girl my counselor is yelling. See you tomorrow love you Brittany."
I watched as his camp went back across the lake and sighed.
"Love you too Alvin. I'll save you a seat next to me. Bye."
As he waved to me I looked down at my jean shorts and fastened them again before they noticed. Then we walked to Arts and Crafts. Josh looked and said.
"Ms. Miller you cabin is over there. Now go sit by them and don't give me dirty looks!"
I got angry and yelled.
"No way Josh I am not sitting with those two in Arts and Crafts. It's bad enough I have to share a cabin with them when I despise them both and besides Amanda is also in our cabin! Stop eyeing me up and down I'm taken and way too young for you too Josh. See this nameplate on my neck it's my man's name now stop staring at me. You're creeping me out!"
He stopped looking and then Amanda looked at my neck and whispered in my ear.
"Umm Brit you have a hickey on your neck above your arch. Besides Alvin always undresses you with his eyes when he looks at you.'
I grabbed my compact and looked to see that Amanda was right. I looked to see if there were anymore and sighed with relief there were no more."
Amanda laughed.
"Oh our little Chipette is growing up! Isn't that nice and it's about time too!"
I laughed.
"Very funny Amanda. You can barely see it, I don't think he realized he did that. Why don't you cover yours; your neck looks like a hall mark card! I hope this one goes away before I go home Ms. Miller will kill me!"
Josh yelled.
"Ms. Miller are you quite finished with the talking? Now can we get to the lesson shut your mouth and pay attention now!"
I was aggravated when he yelled at me but decided not to pay attention cause Samantha was busy flirting with him anyway!
