Ok, so I know this chapter forever and a decade to post. So sorry about that. But to all our faithful readers, I'm sure this chapter will be worth the wait.

Random conversations could be heard throughout the bus. The atmosphere had a different type of feel to it then the night before, as this was the early morning conversation of the crew, which usually consisted of getting back on track and focus in order to perform to the best of their ability. While everyone was still is good spirits it was obvious that; gone was party mode which was quickly replaced with back to business mode.

At the moment, two of the dancers, Carlos and Candice, were discussing the steps to a part of the dance routine. "It's 1, 2, 3 slide then pose, not 1, 2, 3, pose," Carlos said to her.

Candice groaned and nodded. "Oh I know, I know! God, I so messed up. But I'll get it next time."

Carlos looked at her with a raised eye brow. "Honey, you better or there might not be a next time. Dave don't play that shit. He don't want you making his boys look bad." He then looked over at the Chipmunks, who seemed unusually silent this whole time. "Ain't that right, Alvin?"

Alvin was barely paying attention to anyone. His thoughts were focused on last night's events. He had never felt so many emotions at once before. But he knew one thing. He was glad he hadn't lost Eleanor. It surprised him that in the short amount of time they all had spent together, it was nonstop drama. He wished those couple of days went a lot smoother, seeing that they weren't going to see each other again for the remainder of the tour. 5 months.

That's when he heard his name, which snapped him out of his thoughts. He looked up. "Huh? Oh yeah, that's right," he said, even though he had no idea what they were talking about.

Carlos blinked a few times at Alvin's detached demeanor. He then looked back at Candice and noticed that she was looking the same way. "The hell wrong with him?" he asked her.

Candice shrugged and giggled. "I don't know. But all three of them have been like that since we got on the bus."

Just then, Kendra walked in from another room. She looked over at Alvin and glared as she was still pretty upset about the fight she got into with Eleanor and Brittany the night before. The other two dancers began to snicker and Kendra glared at them. "Just what the hell is so funny?" she demanded.

Carlos smirked at her and said, "Girl, you got your ass whooped last night." Then he and Candice laughed at her.

Theodore, who was sitting next to his brothers on the other side, overheard and couldn't help but to laugh as well.

Kendra glared at Theodore as she wanted to go over there and smack him. But she knew she would probably be out of job if she did. So she simply remained in her seat with her legs crossed and arms folded. "Whatever, those bitches just lucky the fight was broken up! I don't care if they are the Chipettes; I'll still fuck them up!"

Theodore laughed as he overheard her, thinking to himself, 'Yeah right.' He then looked over at his brothers, wondering why they didn't find what Kendra was saying was funny. He knew that they probably missed their girlfriends, but he was just so grateful that he was able to see Jeanette again. They had a great time and because of it he was in a great mood.

Simon just sat there looking at Kendra with an arched eye brow. That attitude was never really funny to him…unless it was coming from Brittany. He didn't know why, but that's how it was. Alvin didn't find any of that funny at all. Just irritating. He simply rolled his eyes at that statement. He didn't believe it for a second.

Carlos rolled his eyes to Kendra's statement. "Bitch, you's a lie," he laughed. Then he looked over at Theodore. "Theo, come here."

Theodore got up and walked over.

Carlos stood up as well. "Okay, yall we about to do a reenactment. Theo, you be Kendra," he instructed.

Theodore arched his brow, but laughed. "What?"

Candice laughed. "Oh, just go along with it," she told him.

Theodore just laughed and shook his head. "Alright," he finally agreed.

Carlos nodded. "Okay, sit on Candice's lap," he told him. Theodore did what he was told. Then Carlos acted like he flipped his hair from his shoulders and got in Theodore's face, mimicking as if he was a mad Eleanor. "Bitch! He said stop!" he yelled and then pushed Theodore off Candice's lap.

Theodore fake fell down in a comical, over the top theatrical style. "Who the fuck you callin a bitch? Bitch!" he screamed from the floor mimicking Kendra. All the crew members roared in a fit of laughter, but Kendra found it less amusing as she was fuming.

Alvin couldn't help but laugh at them. "You guys are crazy," he laughed. He continued to smile as he thought about that. Eleanor's behavior really surprised him, but he still kinda liked it.

Simon let out a chuckle and shook his head. "That you are," was all he said.

After hearing everyone laugh, especially Alvin, Kendra was even more infuriated. She then stood up. "You know what. Shut the hell up! All of you! Fuck you, Carlos!"

Theodore stood up off the ground, shocked at Kendra's outburst. "We were just playing," was all he could say as he headed back to his seat.

Kendra scowled. "Well, you know what? I don't think it's funny. Just what the hell was that all about last night anyway?" she demanded. She then looked at Alvin and asked, "Why were you guys hanging out with the Chipettes so closely for anyway?"

Candice nodded in agreement. "Hey yeah, she's right. All three of you were hanging out with them all night…" She giggled.

Carlos nodded, as he and everyone else was wondering the same thing. "Uh-huh, so come on spill it. Cause that blonde got pissed when Kendra was on your lap, honey," he said.

Alvin arched an eye brow. "I don't see why that's so important," he said. He did not want to reveal any secrets.

Kendra crossed her arms. "Well I think it's important to know. Because if I would have known that was your girl…" she started.

"…Then she wouldn't have got her ass whooped," Carlos finished for her. Candice and Theodore laughed.

Alvin chuckled. Then he shook his head. "Well, maybe if you would've just got off me when I asked, that wouldn't have happened."

Kendra glared at him. "YOU KNOW WHAT FU…" She stopped as she remembered who she was talking to. Everyone was silent and shocked as they watched her then looked back over at Alvin to see his response.

Alvin narrowed his eyes at her. "Please, finish your sentence." He really wasn't about to have her or anyone get buck with him just because they were pissed off. It's called listening. She should've tried it.

Kendra fidgeted uncomfortably. She certainly didn't want to get on his bad side because she knew that could possibly cost her her job. But she was angry. She felt betrayed. She liked Alvin, and she really thought she had a chance with him but she would never tell him that. "Look, all I'm saying is that I feel like what you're doing is pretty deceitful. I want to know if that was your girlfriend, I think I have a right to know!"

Carlos sat down with his legs crossed with an indifferent expression. "Besides, it's not like we ain't see yall tonguing them down before yall go on the bus this morning," he pointed out.

Theodore scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment after hearing that. "Oh, you guys saw that huh?"

Alvin groaned inwardly and shifted his eyes. "Uh…ok…shit," he mumbled. He wasn't even thinking about that.

Simon didn't have an answer for them either. He obviously didn't have the same problem that Alvin had, but he wasn't sure if Brittany wanted their business out. But then again, they have known them for a good while and there really isn't a reason why he shouldn't tell them. He knew Alvin's dilemma was bit more problematic than his, so he understood why he was hesitant about telling them.

Alvin's thoughts were all over the place. He definitely did not want to tell them. He definitely was not gonna tell them. His plan was to keep their relationship a secret and that's what he was gonna do. He had to play it cool. He looked at them and smiled slightly. "Yeah, well, you guys know how I am," he said, hoping that would explain everything.

Everyone on the bus stared at Alvin as if they weren't sure they were buying it. Though no one wanted to say anything.

Theodore arched a brow at Alvin a bit confused. "How you are? What are you talking about?" he asked him.

Alvin rolled his eyes at Theodore. 'Of course he would ask,' he thought. "Theodore, you make it seem like you haven't known me my whole life. You know what type of guy I am."

Theodore blinked still not understanding. "You mean arrogant? Selfish? Superficial? Glory hog…" he started, planning on making a long list. The crew snickered.

Alvin glared at him. "Ok, no, Theodore, that is not what I mean."

Simon laughed. "He's telling the truth, Alvin."

Alvin shot him a look. "Shut up, Simon." Then he looked at Theodore. "I mean, I'm with a lot of girls. You know that. Don't you think the tour would just heighten that?" Though he was playing it cool, he was a bit worried that Theodore was gonna out everything without even thinking about what he's saying.

Simon just stared at Alvin with an arched eye brow. Then he looked at Theodore to see just what his answer would be.

After hearing Alvin's response, Theodore couldn't help but to take him seriously. "A lot of girls? But…I thought…" he trailed off as he was in deep thought, truly concerned, seeing that Alvin was making it seem like he was playing Eleanor this whole time.

Everyone on the bus listened attentively, hoping they would get the answer they were looking for. They all knew Theodore was the one that couldn't hold any secrets, so they watched his reaction closely. They all seemed to lean closer as they wanted to hear any response…

Theodore then glared at Alvin, his disapproval being obvious. 'How could he do this to Eleanor?' he thought, and then after a moment he finally spoke. "You're a prick, Alvin." The crew busted out in a fit of hysterics and Simon snickered.

Alvin was shocked. "What?" That's when it donged on him. Theodore thought he was serious. He shifted his eyes. He couldn't exactly explain things to him right now in front of everyone. He was going to have to wait until later. As for right now, he was just gonna have to go along with it. He scoffed. "Theodore, it's not that big of a deal," he said, hoping he wouldn't out him in front of everyone.

Theodore glared at him then folded his arms.

Candice noticed Theodore's expression. "What's wrong, Theo?" she asked.

Theodore scowled slightly and shook his head. "Nothing, it's just that I thought SOMEONE changed, but obviously not…"

Kendra wasn't buying any of this. She knew Theodore was naïve. "…Just stop it Theodore. Alvin did change…otherwise the lap dance wouldn't have been a big deal."

Candice nodded. "Hey, that's right. Not to mention you guys gave the Chipettes all your attention. Simon, I didn't see you leave that Brittany chick's side the whole night at the club." She then giggled. "Are you guy in love?" she asked in a teasing voice.

Alvin let out a breath, glad the heat was off him. At least for now.

Simon just arched an eye brow at that last question. "Well, we've gotten pretty close," he said. He wasn't quite sure how much he should give out, so he was just going to leave them with that for the time being.

"Aw!" the crew exclaimed all at the same time.

Carlos smiled. "Now, ain't that just too cute!"

Candice smiled as well. "Oh, I know. So come on, fill us in guys. Stop faking," she urged them.

"Yeah, we're all family here. Those yall girlfriends or not?" Carlos asked.

Alvin rolled his eyes. They just didn't quit. Why couldn't they just settle with what they had? Just when he was about to say something, Dave walked in and looks at everyone with an arched eye brow. "What's going on? What are you all talking about?"

Everyone looked up at Dave unsure if they should answer. They knew they were wrong for trying to pry into the boy's personal life, and they knew Dave wouldn't approve.

"Well, uh.." Candice started.

Carlos helped her out. "…What Candice means to say is…uh…Kendra wanted to know if the boys were dating the Chipettes. She said she had a right to know," he said as he pointed at Kendra accusingly.

Kendra glared at him "Me? You're the one that said we're family and demanded they tell us!" she argued.

Dave looked between the two of them, and then he looked at the Chipmunks. He looked back at them. "I think that should be the last of your worries. Don't you think you should be more focused on the show?" He was certain that if the boys wanted them to know, they would've told them by now.

After hearing Dave's words, everyone just looked away, and drifted back to their previous conversations before the whole dating controversy started.

The Chipettes were finally back at home in California. Their plane had just landed moments ago. They were all very weary from their long trip and yet they all felt like they just received a great serge of emotional renewal. The fact that they were able to see the Chipmunks again after a month of being away from them was truly something that they did not take for granted. Yet as they disembarked the plane and walked into the terminal, they still felt a since of emptiness. The Chipmunks were definitely their better halves, so to speak, and while they were young, they still knew this, and because of that, they felt incomplete without them.

"Oh, cheer up," spoke Brittany as they exited the terminal, as she referred to Eleanor and Jeanette's solemn expressions. "Look at it this way. One month down and five more to go," she continued, really trying to make that tidbit of information sound uplifting.

"Yeah, that's just great Brittany," spoke Eleanor with a dry sarcastic tone.

"She's just trying to help," finally spoke Jeanette with a weak smile.

Brittany was about to say something else when she noticed a crowd right before they could reach the baggage claim. They were too far away for her make out what exactly was going on, but from the looks of it, it looked like a crowd of reporters.

The Chipettes stopped in their tracks as they noticed that the mob was charging toward them.

"Ok, what the hell is this?" spoke Brittany under her breath toward her sisters as if they would know.

"It looks like reporters" pointed out Jeanette.

"Yeah, how perceptive of you Jeanette," spoke Brittany with an obvious annoyance in her tone. "…but what I mean is why are they headed this way?"

All three of them still didn't move; after all there was no way to escape. They continued to gaze ahead watching the mob of reporters heading toward them; Reporters from magazines, newspapers, networks and stations. Pictures were being flashed and news teams with video cameras captured the girls frozen with their mortified expressions.

"Brittany, what's the deal with Simon?"

"How long have you been dating the Chipmunks?"

"Eleanor is it true that you're Alvin's girlfriend?"

"Jeanette, how serious is your relationship with Theodore?"

The girls were swamped with questions as the reporters gathered around them. They each looked as if this was a complete shock to them. While they were used to being crowded by fans, press conferences, and even interviews that were scheduled in advance, they were not used to, or were ever exposed to being bombarded by reporters in such a way that would force them in to answering questions this personal. After all not too long ago they were considered child stars, now their teen idols. They continued to stand there unmoved as the cameras, lights, microphones and reporters hovered only mere inches away from them. Eleanor latched on to Jeanette's arm for comfort, as Brittany tried to get her wits about her.

"Is it true that you were seen leaving the exclusive French restaurant Le Bristol with the chipmunks?"

After hearing that question Brittany began to chuckle calmly.

"Well yes, while we were in France, we just so happen to run into the Chipmunks and had dinner with them. After all, they are childhood friends of ours, whom we've been in the industry together with for years. So it's only natural that we hang out after such a chance meeting," answered Brittany calmly.

Jeanette and Eleanor looked at Brittany like she was crazy. That wasn't entirely the truth but neither of them would dare say anything different.

"So, then it's not true that you are dating Simon Seville?" asked another reporter.

Brittany was stuck; she didn't know what to say. On one hand, she didn't want to have her business out in the street for the whole world to know. Not to mention the chipmunks are on tour, she didn't want to hurt Simon's career. And yet she also didn't want to denounce their love.

"Simon and I have gotten pretty close recently, and we both have a mutual respect for one another," was all Brittany could say.

Her sisters continued to stare at her in disbelief. 'Damn, she's good,' thought Eleanor "Eleanor! Is it true that you were seen showing public displays of affection with Alvin in a fountain in France?" shouted another reporter.

"Um…" was all that came out of Eleanor's mouth. She stared frozen as they all waited for her much anticipated response. All she could think about was Alvin's reaction if she said the wrong thing. "If joking around and roughhousing with a close friend is public displays of affection then ..ok," laughed Eleanor as she tried her hardiest to laugh it off as if the question was ridiculous.

"But what about the photos?" screamed yet another reporter.

Hearing this startled the Chipettes as they looked at each other in confusion. "Photos?" they all said at the same time.

Just then they heard a loud familiar voice in the distance…

"Yoo-hoo! Girls!"

The girls turned to the right of them to see Miss Miller waving them down among the crowd of reporters.

"Sorry, no more questions," was all Brittany said as they all tried their best to maneuver their way past the pushy reporters that still followed them and continued their questions. Yet the girls simply ignored them. After much time and effort they finally made it to a clearing where Miss Miller stood. They all hugged her happy to see her, all the while continuing to be under surveillance by the reporters and cameras.

"Come on girls, let's get out of here," was all Miss Miller said and the four of them made a run for it out of the airport, all the while the reported continued to chase after them. Lucky for them Miss Miller's car was waiting right out front, she knew that there would be reporters here so she made sure to leave the car running for a quick and easy getaway. Which was exactly what they did. They each hurried into the car and Miss Miller sped off.

"Just what was that all about?" asked Brittany to no one in particular as she sat in the passenger side.

"Oh! You don't know?" answered Miss Miller as she sped and dangerously swerved in and out of traffic.

"Know what?" asked Jeanette.

"Oh, it's all over the media," started Miss Miller as she looked at Jeanette from the rear view mirror. "Photographs have been circulating around of you girls and the chipmunks…um…uh.." she hesitated as she wasn't sure the appropriate way to tell them

"Us and the chipmunks what?" the Chipettes asked at the same time in a panic-stricken tone.

Miss Miller thought about it for a moment. "…Well, let just say you're in compromising positions and now there's a whole load of controversy stirred up about it."

"What!" was all the Chipettes could say, once again speaking in then turned around in her seat to look at her sisters in the back.

"What did you two do while we were in Paris? I told you each to be careful about your public displays of affection!" she scolded.

"Excuse me?" started Eleanor as she was just as frustrated "Who was the one that basically threw themselves on Simon when they met us during the photo shoot!"

"Oh, Ellie, please," answered Brittany as she brushed Eleanor's comment off as she flipped her hair off her shoulder and turned back around in her seat. "No one was there to capture that on film."

Eleanor glared at her. "Are you kidding me? We were in a photo studio! Hello! Cameras were everywhere!"

"Eleanor, you're one to talk! What about your little escapade in the fountain huh? Oh I'm sure only half of Paris saw that! Not to mention the reporters were asking you about it moments ago. Way to stay inconspicuous with your relationship!" was Brittany's snippy retort as she was so mad she didn't even bother to turn around again.

"Shut up Brittany!"

"You shut up!"

"Both of you shut the hell up!" finally yelled Miss Miller. Brittany and Eleanor stopped instantly and looked over at Miss Miller stunned. "Now I'm old and I can't take the bickering, not to mention both of you are wrong. That's not what the photos are of," spoke Miss Miller as she rubbed her temples as her daughters chatter had gotten on her nerves.

After a few moments of silence Miss Miller began to talk once again. "Listen to me girls, the photos are of all of you apparently saying goodbye to each other right before the boys got on their tour bus."

After hearing that, there was a hush that rushed over all of them as they knew exactly the incident she was speaking of.

"Oh no…" spoke Jeanette as she slowly shook her head and looked down.

"Well it's out now," was all Brittany said as she stared out the passenger side window.

Eleanor just buried her head in her hands. She wasn't really upset about the news. After all, this is what she always wanted. Wasn't it? Yet she was really upset about Alvin's reaction. The thought of him blowing up about it or worse denying it seemed so hurtful. Yet how could he not deny it? She was in fact technically a minor…like he said.

The crew was attending another after party. If it were possible, it seemed this party was even more jumping than the last. Once again, everyone went their separate ways once they were inside. Alvin went and got a drink at the bar, and then went and took a seat on the couch. Since the crew was on his case all this morning, he just wanted to be alone…well as alone as he could be seeing that he was in a club.

His attempt at being alone was working until a woman walked over and sat next to him. "Hi, Alvin," she said with a smile while placing her hand on his knee.

He glanced down at her hand before smiling at her. "Hey, what's up?"

"I'm Latoya, and I noticed you were sitting here all alone, and I thought you could use a little company," she explained.

He nodded. "Well, aren't I lucky?" he asked and she laughed.

Suddenly, she gasped and smiled down at him. "I love this song," she stated and he nodded. She bit her lip before standing and holding her hand out. "Dance with me?" she asked as she pouted slightly.

Alvin just stared up at her for second. He wanted to decline, but after seeing her face, he knew she would be upset if he did so and that was the last thing he wanted. So with that in mind, he put his drink down, stood, and took her hand. She smiled and proceeded to lead him to the dance floor.

Once on the dance floor, Latoya released Alvin's hand, turned to face him, and then began dancing, swaying her hips to the beat and putting her hands in her hair. All the while, she smirked at Alvin, who had a smirk of his own on his face as he enjoyed the show. Latoya then slid one of her hands down her body down to her waist and with her other hand, she gestured for Alvin to come to her as she continued to gyrate to the beat.

Alvin crossed the short distance over to her and grabbed her waist and began moving himself. She grabbed onto his shoulders and pressed her body against his. To Alvin's dismay, she didn't stay there long as she pulled back and went around to behind him. She then grabbed his hips and continued to dance on him. Alvin couldn't help but chuckle as he easily concluded that dancing with Latoya was pretty different than dancing with Eleanor. But fun, nevertheless.

Soon, Latoya made her way back to Alvin's front and this time, she pressed her backside against him, grinding on him. She reached behind her and placed her hands on his waist as she began swivel and gyrate her hips a bit faster, but still keeping to the tempo of the song. Alvin smiled, enjoying the feel of her ass against him. After a moment, Latoya grabbed Alvin's hands, and then began to dip lower. Alvin continued to smile as he watched her descend lower. Once she was as lower as she could get and after a few more moves, with a roll of her body, she came up slowly, sliding her ass against the whole way. Alvin chuckled as she put his hands on her hips. 'Damn,' was the only thing on his mind.

They soon sat back down, both of them laughing. "That was fun," Alvin said.

Latoya nodded. "You really know how to move those hips, Seville," she said with a laugh.

Alvin laughed and nodded. Then he said, "All that dancing must have made you a little thirsty. Do you want a drink?"

She smiled and nodded. "Thank you."

Alvin stood and went to the bar to get them drinks. A few seconds after left, two women went and sat next to Latoya and started talking to her about what they just saw on the dance floor. Not too long after that, Alvin returned and smiled slightly once he noticed the additional people. "Well, hello ladies," he greeted as he handed Latoya her drink.

They both smiled at him. "Hi, Alvin," they said simultaneously. One of the slid over and he sat between her and Latoya. She then scooted a little closer to him. "We just came over here to tell Latoya how lucky she is," she said.

Alvin laughed as he sat back and draped an arm across the back of the couch. "And we are?"

She smiled. "Well, I'm Adrianna and that's Nadia," she said motioning toward the woman sitting on the other side of Latoya, who waved.

Alvin nodded. "Yeah, I think I've seen you two in a few movies."

"That's right," Adrianna said.

He smiled. "So, you two saw us dancing, huh?"

Nadia leaned over Latoya. "Yes, and we're extremely jealous of her," she said.

Latoya laughed. "They're just mad they didn't get to you first," she said to Alvin and he laughed.

"Aw, how sad." He took a sip of his drink.

The girls giggled at his words. As they were just so giddy to be around him. As they laughed, Alvin noticed that both Adrianna and Latoya had eased so close to him that they were leaning on each side of him. He smirked to himself as he was sure that he looked like 'the man' if anyone was watching. He just chuckled to himself and shook his head.

"What's wrong, Alvin? Don't you like us being this close to you?" asked Latoya.

"Well, normally I would like it very much, but…"

"But?" added Adrianna with a sly smile as she inched closer, tracing her hands up and down his chest.

"…But, I um, can't seem to drink this way." He laughed.

Adrianna and Latoya looked at each other with expressions that read shock and embarrassment while Nadia laughed. After hearing his words along with Nadia's taunting laughter, they reluctantly rouse from there positions.

Alvin merely sipped from his drink once again in indifference.

While Nadia continued to laugh. All three of them looked over at her with a raised brow as it wasn't that funny.

"Are you alright?" finally asked Alvin.

Nadia calmed down. "Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm just a little um…" she hesitated as she tried to think of the right words to describe how she felt. "…excited. After all, it's not everyday I meet Alvin Seville."

"Hm. That's true," was Alvin's arrogant retort which caused all three girls to giggle once more.

"Oh Alvin, you're just too cute," stated Latoya.

"Yeah, you just don't know what you to me," added Adrianna as she placed her hand on his knee, and began to slowly creep it upward.

Alvin arched a brow as he smirked down at her hand. "You might wanna stop right there babe…"

"Oh really? Why should I?" chuckled Adrianna.

Alvin calmly took another sip of his drink before answering. "Because, you can't handle that."

"You don't know what I can handle," smirked Adrianna as she looked up at him.

"Uh, yeah I do. See, I can read women pretty well. And I know you're the type that wouldn't be able to handle me. You're what I would call a ouch-ouch girl," he chuckled before finishing his drink. While Latoya and Nadia laughed good and hardy. Adrianna pulled her hand away and looked at him stunned, not really knowing what to say.

"Is that true, Adrianna?" asked Latoya.

Adrianna didn't say anything, as she simply looked away.

"Oh my God, look at her, it's true," laughed Nadia.

Alvin eyed Adrianna with a smirk. "Babe, it's nothing to be ashamed of, everyone is different. You just like it soft and easy. And I can get down that way too. But um…there will come a time when I have to let loose. So, um, yeah you couldn't handle me."

"Alvin, tell me what type of girl I am?" asked Nadia as she eagerly awaited his answer.

Alvin looked over at her and eyed her for a moment, then he smirked as he realized just what type of woman she was. He then looked down at his drink which was now empty. "Well I would…if I had another drink," he added as he raised his glass implying that he wanted her to get it refilled. Latoya quickly took his glass and handed it to Nadia.

"Get this munk another drink."

Nadia nodded as she took the glass and rushed off.

"Alvin, do you really think you can read Nadia?" asked Latoya.

He simply chuckled "There's no doubt in my mind. I know exactly what kind of woman she is."

"Well, just so you know…Even though you're right about me," started Adrianna as she looked down shyly, "I still think I can take you on. I mean you're only 18. I'm a grown woman after all…"

Alvin chuckled. "Yeah, okay," he said, his tone clearly not buying it.

Nadia soon came back with his drink, and handed it to him before taking her seat next to Latoya once again.

"Okay, now spill it! What kind of girl am I?"

Alvin just examined his drink, making sure it was just as he liked it. He swished it around a bit and took a sip. "Hm, I guess this will do," was all he said as he referred to the drink, obviously just giving Nadia a hard time.

"Aw, come on, Alvin, stop playing with me!" Nadia pouted.

They all laughed at her.

"Well, you should know the answer anyway," he said before finishing the whole drink in one gulp. "Yeah, that was good."

All three girls just stared at him stunned at how quickly he finished. After all, that was a pretty strong drink.

"Well, I do know the answer, but I just want to know if you're right."

"Trust me, babe, I'm never wrong about women." He then looked her up and down. "Alright. I'd say you're the wild type in bed. You like it fast and hard, and it's not just that. You're the kind of woman that likes to be tossed and thrown around. And you hate foreplay. As to you, you feel it's a waste of time…am I right?"

Nadia was speechless. He was absolutely right.

Adrianna and Latoya eyed her reaction, and knew that once again, Alvin was right on target.

"Oh, you have to do me next!" exclaimed Latoya excitedly.

Alvin chuckled. "Now, where have I heard that before?"

"OH you nasty boy!" giggled Adrianna.

"Sweetheart, you have no idea," he said as he arched a brow at her. "Too bad you can't handle me or else I would…" He stopped as he thought about what he was about to say. 'Cool it, Alvin. Do not go there…' he mentally scolded himself.

"…Well, I can handle you," came Nadia as she walked over to him and straddled his lap, quickly pulling him out of his thoughts. He felt the heat radiate from between her legs as he smiled between her cleavage.

"Don't distract him Nadia, it's my turn," came Latoya.

"Aw, but I can't help it. He's just so cute!"

Alvin merely smirked as he was now a bit tipsy. Not to mention he was enjoying her body being pressed against him. He found himself subconsciously giving her ass a nice firm squeeze that caused her to squeal.

"You liked that, didn't you?" he chuckled.

"Damn right, but you know what I would like even more?"

"This?" was all he said as he gave her ass a strong smack.

"OH shit! Don't do that unless you're willing to finish."

They all laughed.

"But seriously, Alvin, what about me? You described Adrianna, and Nadia. Now I want to know if you will be right about me too."

Alvin just simply lifted up his glass to her. "Well, you know what to do," he stated with a smile and Latoya took his glass and left.

"So, while Latoya's gone, why don't you tell us about yourself, Alvie?" asked Adrianna.

"Yeah, like are all the rumors true about little Alvin?" added Nadia as she began to grind against him eager to find out.

Alvin closed his eyes as he suppressed a moan. He was loving the hot friction of her movements. 'Damn, I wanna fuck her,' he thought to himself. He then shook his head trying to get that thought out of his mind. "Um, maybe you should…take your seat back on the couch, babe…"

"Aw, why?"

"Because I fuckin' said so!" he snapped as he threw her off him roughly causing her to land on her back on the other side of the couch. Nadia just laid there staring at him in shock, as did Adrianna. Then after a few moments of shocked silence…

"Shit, you do know how I like it!" came Nadia.

And they all busted out in a fit of hysterical laughter.

Adrianna then calmed down and found herself snuggling up to Alvin, laying her head on his shoulder. "You know what we should do?" she finally asked.

Alvin turned and looked at her with a smile as he knew what she wanted. "And what's that, babe?"

"We should fuck."

Alvin chuckled and shook his head.

Nadia overheard what was said and it peaked her interest as she sat up and snuggled next to Alvin as well. "Yeah, that sounds like a great Idea. In fact, why don't you start out with Adrianna, all nice and slow, and then finish with me, hot and wild?"

The girls giggled, hoping that he would take them up on their offer.

Alvin simply shrugged. "Well, you never know, the night's still young."

Latoya finally came back with his drink. She handed it to Alvin, but then eyed Nadia as she was now sitting her spot.

"Um, you gotta move," stated Latoya with her arms folded.

"Nope, you got up," giggled Nadia.

Latoya was unmoved and not please at all as she glared down at them.

"Why don't you just sit on my lap?" finally came Alvin as he began to sip his drink.

"Sounds good to me," answered Latoya with a smile as she sat on his lap. "Now, tell me about myself."

"Alright…" he started before taking another gulp. His eyes were really starting to get heavy, as he was truly buzzed at this point. He was feeling relaxed and enjoying the company. He then slowly grazed his free hand up Latoya's waist to her breast and softly groped her. While he clearly was not thinking straight at this point anymore, he couldn't help but to smile as her body felt so good to the touch.

Latoya softly moaned as she looked down at him with a sultry smile. She definitely wanted to see how far they would get tonight.

"So, you were saying?" finally spoke Latoya after she regained her composure from his physical advances.

"Oh yeah, that's right…" he chuckled as he had lost his train of thought from her presence on his lap deeply distracting him. "You're what I call a rodeo girl. You love to be on top, and in control. You love it when a man thrust you upward…" Alvin bucked his hips one good time causing Latoya to bounce upward, causing her to moan loudly, just from his sheer impact. "…bouncing on his dick," he continued.

"Oh my God," spoke Latoya in a whisper. "How…how did you know?" She was clearly flustered, and it was just from one thrust. She could just imagine what it would really be like.

Alvin smirked. "Like I told Nadia, I'm never wrong about women."

Latoya smiled as she ran a finger down his chest. "I'm glad, because that is just like I like it," she said seductively.

He simply smiled.

All three ladies studied him. They could see that he was getting, if not already, drunk. They knew that it wouldn't be too much longer before they could get him to do pretty much anything they wanted. That idea sounded nice.

Adrianna lightly stroked his chest. "How about another drink?" she asked and the other two smiled, knowing exactly what she was doing.

Alvin looked at her. He didn't need another, but he wasn't thinking straight, so he nodded.

She smiled and waved a waitress over, who was carrying a tray of test tube drinks. She glanced at Alvin before smirking and looking back at the woman. "Know what, we're gonna need the whole rack," she said, taking the rack from her.

Nadia laughed before one for herself. "Let's have some fun."

Latoya smiled as she took one and handed one to Alvin. "I'll drink to that."

Across the club, not far from where Alvin and his lady friends were sitting, Simon sat at a table conversing with a few friends, including Carlos and Candice. They were all enjoying Carlos, who was currently talking about his ex.

"So, what happened? What did he do?" Candice asked, really interested in the story.

"Hush, girl, I'm about to tell you," Carlos said before continuing. "…So then he walks in, and I was like, look bitch, you can't do a damn thing for me…well except fix my car…and clean my house…and maybe cook my meals." He then paused for a moment in thought. "Okay, so maybe I did take him back! Yall shut up!" he finally said, laughing.

The rest of them started laughing at him, letting out a bunch of 'oh's' and shaking their heads. "When are you gonna learn, hon?" laughed Candice.

"I can't help it. Yall know how I feel about good looking, muscle bound men," he said.

Simon just laughed and shook his head. That's when he noticed his older brother having his own little party with test tube drinks and three ladies, where one happened to be sitting on his lap. He sat back as he watched them, wondering what exactly Alvin had planned.

He furrowed his eye brows at what he witnessed next. Alvin was running his hands all over the body of the woman in his lap. One hand slowly slid across her ass and down her thigh while the other slid from her waist up to her breast as she served him a test tube drink.

"Simon?" he suddenly heard.

He turned back to the people at his table to see that it was Candice that had called him.

"You alright?" she asked and he nodded.

"What you lookin' at?" Carlos asked, and then looked in the direction Simon was just looking, as did the others.

Candice gasped and laughed. "Oh, no he ain't," she said.

Simon looked back over to where Alvin and the girls were sitting. Now, it was obvious things were starting to get a little wild over there. The woman on his left had slipped a test tube between her cleavage and all of them were urging him to drink it. He laughed and after a moment, he leaned over, took it between his teeth, and pulled it out and drunk it. The three ladies cheered. The woman on his right then took the tube out of his mouth, served him another, and then kissed him.

"Yes, he is, honey," Carlos said, laughing.

Simon didn't find any of this amusing. He was so disappointed in his brother. He found himself frowning. 'This has got to stop,' he thought as he stood. "I'll be right back," he told the others before walking away from the table.

"I don't know how Alvin does it," one person said after Simon left, "but he be killin' the game."

'Damn.' That was all Alvin could think as Adrianna kissed him. It was taking him a minute to process everything. Without realizing it, he kissed her back. She moaned excitedly.

"Hold up, now, you can't have him all to yourself, Adrianna," Nadia laughed.

After hearing her, Alvin pulled away from the kiss with a chuckle. "Don't fret, babe. There's plenty of me to go around."

All three girls giggled.

Then they all heard someone their throat. They all looked up to Simon standing there with crossed arms and a frown.

Simon stood there unmoved as he stared at Alvin with a gaze that clearly illustrated is disapproval. Alvin merely smiled up at him as if he didn't' have a care in the world. Then after a moment their stalemate came to a end…

"Might I have a word with you?" spoke Simon, his tone was irritated yet calculated as he contained his anger.

Alvin chuckled. "Hey, anything you can say to me, you can say it in front of my, um…" he paused as he couldn't think of a respectful word to describe his female company, and because of that Simon narrowed his eyes seeing clearly just how intoxicated Alvin was.

"…Fine. Then I have one word to say to you… Eleanor!"

Once Simon said that, he noticed a scowl grew on Alvin's face immediately as he tapped Latoya on the back, expressing to her to get off of him. She got off of his lap without saying a word as she, as well as the other two girls, stared at Alvin wondering why he was so upset all of a sudden. Alvin then stood up in front of Simon still looking rather upset. While Simon simply looked at him with a nonchalant arched brow.

Then, out of nowhere, a smirk appeared on Alvin's face.

"Walk with me, talk with me," chuckled Alvin as he slowly began to walk away from the girls to a far corner in the room. Simon eyed him closely taking note of how Alvin was walking. It was clear to him that Alvin was trying to keep his balance, yet it wasn't as noticeable to the untrained eye. But Simon wasn't fooled. Alvin was drunk. And out of control.

Once they each reached the other side of the room, Alvin leaned against the wall casually as he continued to give Simon his infamous smirk. Simon merely stood in front of him rubbing his temples as he thought of an appropriate way to address Alvin's behavior.

"Help me understand what it is that I've just witnessed…" started Simon in calm, yet dry tone.

"I don't follow."

At hearing his words Simon just looked at him as if he expected him to say that. "Well then, let me be as specific and detailed as possible. Help me understand why you are, and unapologetically I might add, flirting, groping and kissing other girls, when you have a girl whom you've just seen in the last 24 hours. Help me understand why you are participating in what can be clearly defined as immoral and promiscuous behavior when you are supposedly in a monogamous relationship."

"Oh, that," Alvin chuckled indifferently. "…Because I felt like it."

Simon nodded. "Oh, well that explains it," he stated in pure sarcasm "Because you felt like it. Hm…"

"Right. Now, if you'll excuse me…" was all Alvin said as he began to walk passed Simon to rejoin the girls.

"I thought you loved her."

Alvin stopped in his tracks when he heard Simon. He stood there in silence as if he was soaking in what he just heard. His back was to Simon and at this point as he looked down to the ground. Simon watched him attentively, hoping that he had gotten through to him.

"Do not question my love for her…" Alvin finally spoke in a low growl as he has yet to face his brother. Simon merely just continued to watch him taking noticed that Alvin was slightly shaking, clearly from anger.

"One can only question your love for her, when you put your actions into question," stated Simon calmly.

Alvin nodded without facing him. "So, tell me, Simon, since you seem to know everything," he finally turned to face him. "Why are my actions being questioned? When like you said, not 24 hours ago, Eleanor was doing some pretty questionable acts herself! But I'm the bad guy? Fuck that!"

"So, that's what this is about? That dance?"

"NO! It's not just the dance!" At this point, Alvin was getting angrier by the minute as he thought about everything. "This is about how I have never felt this way about a woman before….ever! I have given her my heart and she tramples it! Not once, but several times!"

"Something tells me you're overreacting. And its not just because that's who you are, but because you are clearly inebriated."

"I'm not drunk."

"You are."

"I'M NOT!"

They just stared at each other in silence for what seemed like an eternity. Neither one of them willing to back down from their point's of view.

"Look, Alvin, I just don't want to see you make a terrible mistake. Just rethink this out in the morning. And I promise you, you won't have the same perception."

"Actually, Simon, I feel like I'm seeing things clearer then ever before. Eleanor is a slut. And I'm through with her.."

"Alvin…"

"…No let me finish. Not only did she allow that bastard to touch all over her at the photo shoot, but then at dinner, after I spend all my fucking money on her, she allows that cocksucker J. Kelly to openly flirt with her right in front of me, without any fucking objections! And then…" he stopped as he shook his head and bitterly chuckled " …then she goes off and flirts with some punk ass, pretty boy, b-list actor! He's all grabbing her around the waist, while she's just fucking giggling it up. I can see it so fucking clear. Man, if we weren't on tour I would of fucked him up." Alvin's breathing began to increase as his blood boiled just thinking about it.

Simon listened to him in silence. He was truly concerned. Alvin appeared to be losing his mind in jealousy.

"Alvin, none of those reasons are valid points to sustain your belligerent behavior. You are simply jealous and you need to take control of that."

Alvin scowled. "Of course you would say some shit like that, Si. But you know what, you don't know what the fuck I am or what I need! You don't know what I'm going through, so don't try to tell me about myself. How would you know anyway? Has your girl ever treated you that way? No. You don't understand how I'm feeling."

Simon didn't say anything as he simply watched him; insuring that at least one of them stayed calm, as Alvin continued…

"…She betrayed me," Alvin continued as he looked down. His voice was a lot softer at this point as he thought about the other night. "When I saw her dancing with him, I thought to myself…she lied…" He shook his head as he fought to rid of the image of another man holding Eleanor close, with her eagerly smiling. "…Love,"he scoffed. "…Bitches are so quick to say that fucking word…I…I thought she was different…" Alvin grew silent once again as he felt his heart caving in his chest.

"Alvin, you are not the only one who had to deal with their woman being pursued by other men. It happens. And it will continue to happen. Just because you don't see what Theodore and I go through with Brittany and Jeanette, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Hell, that's what happens when you date a beautiful woman. It's all in how you handle it. And you have to love her enough to trust her judgment. I never thought I'd say this about you, but you are just jealous and insecure."

" … Fine. Okay, yeah, I'll admit that…Yet when I see her repeatedly giggle and laugh at the advances of another man! FUCK! It makes me want to wring her fucking neck! How dare she laugh and carry on with some other dude!"

"Al..vin…" he sighed as he stretched his name into two syllables as he was clearly losing patients with him.

"No! Fuck that! Ellie wants to play with my heart! Then I'll show her who she's really fucking with! Why should I treat her any differently then those three cunts over there!" He pointed toward the girls that were still anxiously waiting for his return across the room. "She parades and flaunts herself around like them! Ain't nobody tell her to gallivant around with her big tits hanging out in those tight fucking dresses, so every fucking man on earth can see what's rightfully MINE! Nobody told her to allow men to grab on her! I told her when we first started kicking it, that I never had a girlfriend because I never found a girl that was worth it. She assured me that she loved me for me! She deceived me into thinking and hoping that it was possible to have someone actually love me! And that, Simon, my boy, is unforgivable!" And with that, Alvin stormed away.

Simon watched him walk back toward those three ladies and he sighed, shook his head, and walked back over to his table.

As Alvin made his way back to girls, he felt his cell vibrate in his pocket. He stopped briefly and pulled it out, and the screen flashed none other than Eleanor's name. He scowled and shoved the phone back into his pocket, and then continued his walk.

He stopped in front of the girls, who looked up at him expectantly.

"So, can we keep this party going?" Adrianna asked with a sly smile.

Alvin shook his head. "Actually, I'm about to head out," he said.

They all pouted disappointedly.

He then smirked. "Which one of you ladies would like to escort me back to my hotel?"

All three girls' looks immediately turned excited.

Before the other two could say a thing, Latoya quickly stood and linked arms with him. "I think that will be me," she stated with a smirk.

"Oh hell no," Nadia said with an arched brow.

Latoya chuckled. "Oh hell yes."

Alvin chuckled. "Now that that's settled, you two enjoy the rest of your night," he said, and then he and Latoya made their way out the club.
