Love from a Distance
Ch 10
"Hard Times Ahead"
Alvin took his seat next to his brothers and Ms. Miller. He put his cell on silent and stuck it back in his pocket. The MC came on and announced.
"Ladies and Gentlemen put your hands to together for Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor the Chipettes!"
The audience screamed and threw up signs as the curtain rose and revealed the girls. Alvin sat and watched as Brittany sang on the stage and danced across the stage. During one of the songs she smiled at him. He smiled back and was memorized while the show went on. Simon was also memorized when Jeanette came forward to sing. He was amazed by the way she moved as she sang and sighed. Theodore was also mesmereized as Eleanor performed and stared at her with a smile across his face. He turned to Alvin.
"Are we the luckiest chipmunks or what? They are so amazing and they're our girls. Too bad you can't join us at the party. What did you do to get grounded?"
He looked and glared.
"I told you to stop asking me. It's none of your business; now drop it I mean it!"
When the concert ended Alvin and Brittany went to their hotel room so she could get ready for the party. He got ready for bed and lay in the bed reading a comic book. He watched as she entered the bathroom to get ready for the party and shook his head. When she finished with her shower she came out of the bathroom and went to the mirror to fix her hair and make up. He looked up from his comic book and watched as she finished getting ready."
She looked at him as she put her shoes on and said.
"I would much rather miss the party because you're not going with us. What should I tell our fans if they ask where you are?"
He sighed and said.
"Tell them I wasn't feeling good and went to sleep. Brittany you have to go to this party for promotion. Don't worry about me I'll be fine. See you when you come in or in the morning depending if I'm asleep or awake."
She leaned down to the bed and kissed him. He put his comic book down and returned her approach. Then he smiled as she exited the room and went back to his comic book. Simon, Theodore, Eleanor, Jeanette, Brittany, and Ms. Miller headed to the party in a limo.
When they arrived at the party cameras flashed and Brittany shook her head as she watched his brothers and her sisters enter hand in hand. When she entered the fans asked.
"Where's Alvin did you two break up or something? We see his brothers but not Alvin."
She shook her head as she poured herself a glass of punch and responded.
"No of course not. He just hasn't been feeling good so he went to bed. He should be better soon, but thanks for asking."
They looked and said.
"Oh poor Alvin we hope he feels better soon and what an awesome concert tonight! You 3 truly rock just like the boys! Can we have your autograph Brittany? You're our favorite one out of the Chipettes!"
She smiled and responded as she put her punch down.
"Oh thank you I'm glad you enjoyed our show. Sure I'll be glad to sign my autograph for you two."
She signed their autograph books and smiled at them. Then she took her punch and sat down at the table. She watched as her sisters and his brothers made out in the corners and shook her head. Then she looked and asked.
"Ms. Miller when is this party over? I'm so bored because Alvin isn't here with me and I'm sick of watching those 4 make out and shove it in my face. Can I ask you something?"
Ms. Miller looked and responded.
"Sure anything Brittany dear. Now what did you want to ask me; I'm listening."
She took a deep breath.
"If any of us umm lose our innocence before marriage what would you do to us?"
Ms. Miller looked and said.
"You'd be forbidden to see the boys until you turn 21. Why do you ask dear? I know my girls would never do such a thing until you're married."
She gulped and said.
"No reason just curious I guess. Don't forget to tell Jean and Elle what you just told me. I'm really tired now can I please go to my hotel room and go to sleep?"
Ms. Miller looked and said.
"Very well Brittany dear. See you in the morning."
She called a cab. Then she paid the driver when she came to the hotel. She entered and the woman at the desk looked up from her computer.
"Hello Ms. Miller can you please give this message to Mr. Seville. It's from his father and marked urgent and have a goodnight."
She took the message for Alvin and unlocked their hotel room. She entered and looked on the bed where he was fast asleep with the comic book draped over his face. She locked their door and put the key on the dresser. Then she walked over to the bed and removed the comic book from his face. She smiled and kissed him on the forehead and put the message from Dave under his cell where it charged. Then she entered the bathroom and got ready for bed after brushing out her long brown hair. When she finished brushing her hair she brushed her teeth and exited the bathroom. Then she got in the bed next to him and rested her head on his bare chest. Several seconds later she also fell asleep. He felt her hair against his chest and opened his eyes. Then he stroked her forehead gently and sighed. 20 minutes later through their wall he heard Simon yelling at Jeanette.
In the meantime Simon looked at her as they entered their hotel room.
"Stop looking at me like that I told you no. Now knock it off I mean it! I'm just not interested now enough! I'm going to bed. Leave me alone!"
He entered the bathroom and changed for bed. Then he brushed his teeth and washed his face. When he finished he pulled the bed down and turned to the side falling asleep.
She sighed and entered the bathroom to get ready for bed. Then she also brushed her teeth and her hair leaving it down. When she was done she got in the bed and tapped him gently.
"Simon I'm sorry please don't stay angry at me. I didn't mean anything by it! Simon!"
He opened his eyes and turned toward her with a smile. Then he moved his fingers through her long brown hair and leaned over to kiss her full of passion. She accepted and moved her hands across his chest tracing the lines. He moved his hands down her pajama top and slowly unbuttoned it. Then he slid it off and she embraced him tightly as the kisses became more intense. There was a knock on the door when he got close to her pajama bottoms. She heard Ms. Miller's voice.
"Simon and Jeanette is everything ok in there? Jeanette dear open the door."
She froze as his hands moved to her waistband on her bottoms and whispered to him.
"Simon let me up it's my stepmother. If I don't answer the door I'll be grounded till I'm 21."
He let her up and she buttoned her top. Then he sighed with relief and watched as she opened the door.
"Sorry Ms. Miller we were fast asleep. What's the matter?"
She looked and handed her the message.
"Oh nothing dear; this is a message for Simon from their father. Can you make sure he gets it? It's marked urgent. Goodnight Jeanette see you in the morning. Goodnight Simon make sure you read that message from your father."
He looked up.
"Goodnight Ms. Miller and I'll make sure I read it. Thank you."
Jeanette closed the door and put the lock on. Then she handed it to him as she got back in the bed. She rested her head on his chest and he stroked her forehead gently. Then he sat up and clicked the light on. He put his glasses on and read the message.
'Simon I'll give Alvin one more week to be with Brittany; but make sure he's aware when you come home his punishment sticks until school starts again. Love your father Dave...
Ps I meant a month not all summer.'
Simon closed the paper and put it on the table by his cell and glasses. Then he shut the light off and lay back down. She smiled down at him and said.
"Shall we try again? I doubt we'll be bothered again.."
He nodded and pushed her down to the bed kissing her full of passion. She felt his hands as they undressed her slowly beneath the sheet and gulped as her body began to heat up at his touch. She looked up and he seen the fear in her eyes. So he decided to back down.
"I knew you weren't ready. Why are you in such a rush? There's no reason for you to push me the way you have been especially since you're just not ready and don't trust me enough."
She looked as she lay back down on her side of the bed.
"I know that Simon but the girls on the squad keep on pressuring me and Brittany. Then every time we have practice all they do is talk about having sex with their boyfriends and ask us what's wrong with us. Brittany just nixes them off and tells them she's not interested. But that's my older sister I feel so low because I have nothing to say to them. Now you know why I've been pressuring you the way I have been."
He smiled as he stroked her forehead gently.
"I understand that Jean but sweetie you have to ignore them. Especially if you're just not ready to take it that far! Now get some sleep you had a rough night. Goodnight Jean I love you."
She smiled and kissed him. Then she rested her head on his chest and responded.
"Love you too Simon. See you in the morning."
He put the sheet over them both and held her close to him falling asleep immediately after he put the ceiling fan on above their bed."
In the meantime in Eleanor and Theodore's hotel room they were in the bed making out passionately. He felt her hands moving to his boxers and he grabbed them.
"Eleanor don't you even think about it! I'm just not ready now move your hands from my boxers I'm going to sleep. Goodnight!"
He turned away from her and fell asleep. She sighed and said.
"Theo I'm sorry please forgive me. I won't try that again don't ignore me."
He turned toward her and smiled then he held her close and they fell asleep after she covered them both with the sheet.
Back in Alvin and Brittany's room he continued to stroke her forehead gently and sighed. She felt his fingers on her forehead and opened her eyes.
"I didn't mean to wake you up. Alvin I'm so sorry. Oh there's an urgent message for you from your father."
She reached over him and grabbed the message and handed it to him. He took it, and clicked the light on and opened it. Then he sat up and read it.
'I'll give you one more week to be with Brittany. Don't get yourself in trouble with Ms. Miller. If I hear that you aren't behaving while you're there I'll extend your punishment till school starts up again in the fall. I mean it Alvin behave yourself and I'll see you boys in a week. Love your father Dave'
He shook his head and closed the note. Then he put it back on the table by his cell as he shut the light off. She watched as he lay back down in the bed and asked.
"So what did your father say?"
He held her close and responded.
"This is our last week together and if I get in trouble by your step mother my punishment will be extended to when school starts in the fall."
She sighed as she moved her hands across his chest and traced the lines in his chest and said.
"So we'll just have to be careful now won't we?"
He turned toward her and asked.
"What are you up to now? Let's not get too carried away now! What am I going to do with you Britt?"
She smiled down at him and kissed him full of passion. Then she moved her hands across his chest and sighed.
"Make sure we make the best of the time we have left to be together. "
He looked into her ice blue eyes and smiled slyly.
"You're something else Brittany you know that, but I still love you. So what are you waiting for?"
She looked into his midnight blue eyes and pushed him down to the bed kissing him full of passion. Bebeath the sheet he moved his hands up her thighs and caused her to sigh. Then he felt her hands moving to his boxers and grabbed them.
"To be on the safe side let's not go that far alright? Most likely your stepmother has a spare key to our room and we can't really take any chances. Don't be mad at me Brittany. Try to understand."
She smiled down at him and continued to kiss him full of passion. He embraced her tightly and moved his hands across her stomach when he pushed her down to the bed. She smiled up at him and pulled him down to her and embraced him tightly. An hour passed and they fell asleep in one another's arms after she had enough kisses to help her sleep by his side. He held her close and eventually fell asleep when he realized she was fast asleep.
The week passed fast and he fought to stay in control while she lay in the bed next to him. Then when they got home later that night he gave her a kiss goodnight and went to their room to unpack his suitcase. As he unpacked he thought about the month alone he was about to face because of what he did. Simon and Theodore entered their room and Simon saw the way Alvin stared out at the Chipettes house when Brittany and her sisters entered. Simon sighed and shook his head.
"Alvin the month will go by faster than you know. I just can't believe how hard dad was on you. For goodness sake you're a growing teen munk he should understand. It's just not fair that you're forbidden to see Brittany for an entire month. That's too harsh."
Alvin sighed and put his clothes in the hamper to get washed. Then he looked at Simon.
"Be glad you were able to stay in control and stay that way as long as you can. I can't believe how weak I was and now look at this I'm not allowed to be with Brittany for a whole month. Then while we were in Louisiana I fought so hard to remain in control and actually succeeded. I'm getting ready for bed and going to sleep goodnight Simon and Theodore. See you in the morning."
They watched as Alvin entered the bathroom to get changed and Theodore looked and asked.
"Did you manage to get the answer on why he's grounded? Or did you actually finally give up on asking him? It looks like we're never going to get the answer! So we might as well leave it alone."
Simon shook his head and responded.
"Nope I had no luck and I give up on asking him before he slams me! I just feel bad for him not being able to be with Brittany during the 1st month of summer vacation! Well anyway let's drop it Theo here comes the hot head now! I'm also getting ready for bed."
Alvin got in his bed and put his cap on his bed post and then he fell asleep when his head hit the pillow. All 3 boys fell asleep and at the Chipettes house Brittany remained silent and just changed for bed. Her two sisters stared and also shook their heads.
"Goodnight Brittany see you in the morning. The month will go by fast calm down!"
She looked up and said.
"Calm down you say! Oh yea sure how do you expect me to be calm when I can't see, be, or even talk to my man on the phone for an entire month while you two go out with yours. Now just leave me alone and drop it! I don't want to hear another word!!"
