Where'd Our Lives Go?
Chapter 4
"Sorry Dave!" Simon called as he came in the house. He slung his backpack on the floor beside the door and kicked his shoes off. Dave came out of the kitchen mixing something in a big green bowl with a wooden spoon.
"It's alright Simon, just next time tell me where you're going so I won't have to make you come home. By the way, where were you?" he asked him in the usual tone he used with Alvin
"Well, Brittany sprained her ankle yesterday when we were in the forest behind her house collecting leaves. She didn't go to school today because of the doctor's appointment so I took her school work to her. I felt a little obligated, you know?" He said to Dave, sitting on the couch next to Alvin who was watching some sports show.
"Whoa, you were at the Chipette's house?" Alvin and Dave asked in unison. Everyone managed to do that every once and a while, but not Dave and Alvin. Simon rolled his eyes and looked sternly at Alvin.
"Yes, I was being nice to Brittany, if you must know." Simon snapped at him before snatching the remote from him and flipping the television to the history channel. "Oh, cool!" Simon exclaimed "The history of astronomy and astrophysics!" He said excitedly. Alvin got up and started to leave.
"You're too big of a nerd Simon," Alvin said slapping his brother playfully on the back of the head. "And why were you being nice to Brittany, I mean…. It's Brittany! There's nothing nice about her, so why be nice to her?" he asked. Simon's fists clenched, his knuckles turning white
"I'll have you know that if you weren't such a jerk to her then she'd be nice to you." Simon spat back, Dave and Alvin looked shocked, and Simon never acted this way, let alone defended the Chipettes. "And another thing, stop asking her out, trust me when she says she doesn't want to date you, she doesn't" Simon didn't realize it, but he had stood up and gotten into Alvin's face. He was shocked; he turned around and went to grab his backpack when his cell phone buzzed. Alvin checked his pocket
"It's not mine…. It's always my phone." Alvin said, confused beyond belief. Simon checked his pocket and pulled out his Droid Eris, he had a new text message. He opened it
"Hey, are you allowed to come back over?
Ms. Miller said you could come back for dinner.
I figured Alvin would get on your nerves so, I thought
I'd tell you. I miss you, and love you."
Simon read the text message and smiled. Alvin looked at him weirdly and tried reaching for Simon's phone, which Simon promptly shoved in his pocket. "Hey Dave? " Simon asked, looking at Dave.
"Yes Simon?" Dave asked back, turning and heading into the kitchen where Theodore had been cooking dinner, one of Simon's favorite, Theodore's world famous lasagna. Simon frowned, he loved Theodore's cooking, but tonight he'd have to settle with trying Eleanor's.
"Well, the Chipettes invited me back to dinner, well Ms. Miller actually, since I was nice to Brittany. Well, I was hoping I could go there for dinner tonight?" he asked, crossing his fingers.
"Sure Simon I don't see why not." Dave said, Alvin's jaw hitting the floor.
"Simon! Why in the world are you going over there Simon? Did you finally start dating Jeanette?" Alvin accused, Simon simply rolled his eyes as he went out the door and called back "Wrong Chipette!" and shut the door, turning back to see Alvin's shocked face before he closed the door. Simon chuckled.
**********
Simon knocked on the front door of the Chipette's home. Waiting for someone to answer, he received a text message, it was from Alvin.
"I can't believe you, why are you dating Brittany?"
Simon chuckled at the text as Jeanette answered the door. "Oh, Simon, please come in. Brittany's still on the couch." She said giggling. Simon smiled and nodded; he kept his phone out for a second and went over to sit by Brittany.
"Simon!" she squealed with joy. Simon smiled and sat beside her, she wrapped him in a big hug.
"Sweetheart I was only gone for," he checked his phone, the text message leering back at him. "Yeah," he looked back up at her, "Too long" he said. He hugged her back, in a tight hug, his phone went off again. Brittany felt it and got curious; she twisted around and grabbed his phone. She read it and her eyebrows crinkled like they usually do when she got mad.
"What's the meaning of this?" she said showing him the text message. She looked at him and crossed her arms.
"Alvin was dogging you and I simply defended you, think of it this way. Now he will leave you alone." He said, leaning in and kissing her on the cheek. Brittany wrapped her arms around his waist and she leaned back, he wrapped his arms around her shoulders and leaned in to her. He kissed her passionately on the lips, she exhaled deeply, her grip tightening on Simon's waist, and he bent his head down and kissed the soft flesh of her neck. She sighed in pleasure, her fingernails digging into Simon's back, but Simon didn't care.
"Ah Hem!" there came a coughed from the other side of the room as Eleanor came in with their plates. She stared daggers at Simon, who scooted away from Brittany promptly, Eleanor smiling in approval. She set their plate on the coffee table, getting Brittany a tray to sin on her lap to eat from. Eleanor sat between the two and shot glances back and forth at them. Simon sighed at he ate his pasta. He never expected all the flavor, but then again, Jeanette and Brittany had always boasted on Ellie's cooking abilities.
"Eleanor, this pasta is amazing, I think you could definitely beat Theodore if you entered that cooking contest he's entered in for next week." Simon said, not knowing how she'd react to the assumption she would want to challenge her boyfriend.
"Yeah Ellie, you definitely have a shot." Brittany agreed encouragingly.
"Well, I don't know, I mean, I KNOW I'm a good cook and better than Theo, but…" Eleanor tried getting the rest of her sentence out, but Brittany stopped her
"Ellie, this is one of the chances to prove how much better you are than someone else." Brittany told her "You're entering tomorrow at school." Brittany finalized everything in her normal fashion; Eleanor sighed and went into the kitchen probably to pick out a recipe.
"So, we should probably go to your room after we're done eating and finish your homework." Simon suggested, slurping up more pasta, the noodle leaving sauce on the side of his face. Brittany looked at it and wiped it off with one finger and sucked the sauce off of her finger, Simon set his plate down and kissed her.
"Simon," Brittany said quickly and quietly. She gently pushed him away and gave him a look that almost said 'later'.
Simon nodded and picked his plate up, finishing his dinner quickly as he waited for Brittany to finish her plate, she was a very slow eater. It's what's to be expected from an international superstar. He waited patiently and talked to her between bites, getting to know her more, he had no idea that Brittany was so interesting. "And then I had Jeanette teach me how to play chess, checkers and ever three dimensional chess, just to spend time with you." Simon blinked unexpectedly and looked at her.
"Hate to break it to you Brit, I HATE checkers, too simplistic in its movement styles and I didn't even know Jeanette knew how to play three dimensional chess, let alone you. The only bad thing is you'll have to teach me because I've never had a set." Simon said excitedly, noticing that Brittany had finished her plate and was trying to set it on the table. Simon stopped her and placed it on the table and returned the tray to its place behind the couch for her.
Simon picked her up and took her up the stairs to her room, carrying her in he placed her on her bed and closed the door. He returned back to the bed and wrapped Brittany in a big hug and started kissing her passionately, "I love you Simon" Brittany said as he started kissing her neck.
"I love you too" Simon said, he opened his eyes to see Brittany start taking her top off and wrapping him in a tighter hug.
