Confusion
Ch 53
"Engagement Party pt 3"
In Alvin's room he stared in the mirror and fixed his shirt. After he tucked it in he fastened his belt and sighed. Then he fixed his hair and put his cap on his head. As he exited his room Simon came out. Alvin looked and said.
"Oh Simon I made my decision on who my best man is. But I'm not telling anyone until Theodore joins us at the party. Any idea who Brittany picked for her maid of honor? I'm just curious I guess. To think 9 months from now she'll be my wife; after all the drama we dealt with through the years. Come on Simon our fiancées await us. Oh Theo there you are. Come on then I made my decision about my best man. "
Theodore sighed.
"I'm coming Alvin this stupid tie just won't stay. Can you give me a hand please?"
Alvin smiled and fixed his tie. Then the 3 brothers descended from the stairs and joined the girls. Brittany looked and felt Alvin's arms around her waist. She smiled and kissed him.
"Oh Alvin you startled me and you look very handsome. We are going to have to keep an eye on Chelsea she's up to no good and I don't think she can be trusted. What about you?"
He smiled and responded.
"I don't trust her at all. Just like I don't trust her stupid sister Tina either. We'll just make sure we watch them both closely. Come on let's go by your father over there talking to Simon and Jeanette. I really rather not deal with my mother right now to be honest with you."
They walked over to where Dave and Henry were talking. Simon was busy dodging their mother and Alvin and Theodore started to laugh. He looked.
"Ha ha you two look amused. I'm glad you two think it's so funny that I'm trying to avoid our mother ALVIN!"
Alvin stared.
"Oh really and you yelled at me for avoiding mom. Well excuse me for living."
Brittany and Jeanette pushed them apart.
"Boys please for once can you two get along? Just once in your lives can you not fight with another you're brothers not enemies? ALVIN I said stop arguing with your brother! Dave help me out here please!"
Henry laughed.
"Boys will be boys right Dave."
Dave nodded and said.
"Alvin and Simon for once can you two please get along. Just once that's all I ask! ALVIN!"
He stared.
"But Simon started it; oh forget this Brittany would you like to dance with me? They're playing a slow song?"
She smiled and took his hand as he led her to the floor. Then Simon and Jeanette followed behind them. Jake looked and sighed.
"Jill would you like to dance with me? We're the only couple not on that dance floor. "
She smiled and took his hand and they also joined the two engaged couples on the dance floor. In the meantime Mike sighed.
"They do make good couples, but they're so young to be getting married. Come on Shana; they're not even 18 yet. Why are they marrying so young? I mean I'm happy for both Simon and Alvin but still I'm just confused. "
As she rested her head on his shoulder she responded.
"They've been together almost 9 years. They're in love Mike; so they're getting married. We should be happy for them instead of you complaining about it. Alvin is one of your best friends; you know what he goes through with the fans and the drama they deal with in school. Lighen up a little and be happy for them; I am."
He sighed.
"I am happy for him; but just a little angry because he never told me. All those years I had a major crush on Brittany and never had an idea he was with her. They always fought in school; constantly competed with one another in every thing they did. They never acted like a couple and Jean,Simon, Elle, and Theo did that's my point. If I knew I'd never make a play for Brittany like I did we're best friends and best friends aren't supposed to hide things from one another. He should've trusted me with the secret bout him and Brittany instead of keeping me in the dark till the 8th grade! I don't care if he's a huge rock star or not he was wrong and I'm still angry at him for that."
While Brittany and Alvin danced she watched every move Chelsea made by the punch bowl and held onto him tightly. She sighed as she rested her head on his shoulder.
"After all these years we're months away from spending our lives together. I love you so much."
He smiled as he held her tightly and leaned down to kiss her.
"I know that Brittany. All the fighting we did as a young couple finally paid off and we're still going strong. You make my life complete, and I'm thankful to have a girl to love; spending my life in the limelight."
She sighed and kissed him back.
"Well I'm glad to be the girl who is able to love you. Not until I met you has my life been complete. After my rough childhood; I'm just glad you came into my life."
In the meantime Alvin watched as Simon and Jeanette also made out while they danced across the dance floor. He sighed with relief and just continued to make out with Brittany while they danced across the floor. Theodore and Eleanor finally joined them on the dance floor and both Alvin and Simon smiled.
Theodore took her waist she sighed while she rested her head on his shoulder.
"Oh Theo to think our shy ness turned into a relationship that lasted nearly 9 years. Yet all the drama around us because of our fame has no effect on us but so much on your brothers Alvin and Simon. Your love makes my life complete and start to make sense I love you so much Theo."
The song ended and Theodore ran into the kitchen with Eleanor behind him to check the cake. He pulled it out and let it cool for 10 minutes. Then he and Eleanor frosted the 4 layer cake in the colors red, pink, blue, and purple. Alvin entered not really paying attention to the cake on the counter.
"Theo and Elle the food is being served. Let's go now Ms. Miller is getting angry."
They followed behind Alvin as he took his seat next to Brittany and sipped his champagne slowly. She laughed as he coughed.
"Alvin what is wrong with you? Are you ok?"
He caught his breath and responded.
"Yea I'm fine champagne went down the wrong pipe. Thanks for asking princess."
Simon just looked at the champagne and closed his eyes as he took a sip.
"Ok that's pretty strong."
Jeanette laughed and also sipped her champagne slowly like Brittany. The boys looked at the girls and shook their heads.
"Show offs."
Ms Miller stood up and cleared her throat.
"I'd like to make a toast to our sons and daughters about to take a big step in their lives. To my daughters Brittany and Jeanette who have found love and lasted this long. To my future son in laws Alvin and Simon who have given the girls something to help them get through life after the rough times they faced as young chipettes before I was able to adopt them. I am so glad that the 4 of you are ready to take a giant step in your lives because of the love you 4 share. Also to my lovely youngest Eleanor and her boyfriend Theodore who also made it this far though the peer pressure around the 6 of you never made you a victim. To all of you I wish you all a life of happiness and everlasting love!"
Everybody's glasses touched and Theo smiled and also stood up.
"I know I'm the youngest but I am also going to toast to my two elder brothers and their fiancées Brittany and Jeanette. The 4 of you have made it through all the drama surrounding you because of the fact you are truly in love with one another. Congratulations Alvin, Brittany, Simon, and Jeanette we all wish you all the best."
Alvin looked at Simon and shrugged.
"Ok that was unexpected. Thank you Theo. "
Simon stared at Gillian as she sat at the table with Chelsea.
"Are you serious? Why did she bring my ex with her? Now I definitely know she's up to no good. Alvin we both have to be careful we don't need any trouble. Tina is trying to tell Jeanette something and Chelsea is getting angry at her."
She walked over to their table and whispered in Jeanette's ear.
"Jean I know Brittany thinks Chelsea is really her friend, but she's up to no good and Alvin and Simon need to watch what they do especially tonight. You see my sister and Gillian they're definitely up to something, but I have no clue what it is. Just make sure you tell Brittany and Alvin. I'm really your friend you can count on that even though you're engaged to my 1st boyfriend. But you two are perfect for each other and I'm happy for you really."
Jeanette nodded.
"Ok Tina thanks for telling me I'll make sure all 4 of us are on alert."
Soon Theo and Eleanor entered the kitchen and took the cake out. Alvin's eyes widened and so did the others. Simon stared.
"Whoa Theo and Elle that's a really nice. Big, umm cake"
He laughed.
"Thank you Simon now you 4 get over here and cut it. Here Alvin and Brittany. Simon and Jeanette this is your side."
Alvin took the knife and Brittany put her hand on his and Jeanette did the same. They cut the cake and dished it out. Then Brittany sat in Alvin's lap as he ate his cake and just stared at her slice. Just as he predicted Vinny asked.
"So are you two going to give me grandchildren?"
Alvin's mouth dropped after he finished his cake and he spit out his champagne all over Dave.
"Mom I told you before we're too young can you not ask that yet. We're not even married yet gee! We are 9 months away from our wedding and this fall we're going to college. No I don't think we're thinking of kids right now!"
He also realized he spit on Brittany's dress and helped her wipe it off. She looked and stared.
"Lucky for you I wiped it off before it stained my dress. Alvin wipe the champagne off your father he's wearing a white dress shit that stuff stains."
Dave looked and wiped it off.
"No it's fine Brittany I got it out. Alvin it's also on your dress shirt."
Brittany took the napkin and wiped the champagne out of his shirt and smiled.
"Are you ok Alvin? Why is she asking us about having kids already?"
He shook his head.
"I have no idea but she did and I'm not in the mood to hear about it right now. I'm going outside to get some fresh air. Would you like to join me?"
She smiled and stared.
"Dave and Ms. Miller can we please be excused? We need a little fresh air."
They both nodded and Alvin and Brittany sat outside on the porch swing. She rested her head on his shoulder and he rubbed her shoulders gently as he held her close. She sighed and put her arms around his waist.
"Lucky for me I'm on the pill. I don't think it would be a good example if I go and get pregnant before we get married. Do you?"
He shook his head.
"No it wouldn't be even if we will be married after you turn 17. We shouldn't rush especially with our careers and our education. Oh no I have to tell my brothers who I picked as my best man."
Simon, Jean, Theo, and Elle joined them outside. Simon yelled.
"I can't believe she asked me that? Ooh I am so angry it's not even funny. Oh hi Alvin I didn't see you there."
He looked and asked.
"Mom asked you about kids too huh?"
He shook his head.
"No she hasn't. Not yet anyway. We haven't even set the date. Gillian asked me to give her a second chance when she knows I'm engaged to Jeanette! Unbelievable I swear. Jeanette are you alright?"
She shook her head.
"No I'm not she kissed you and you didn't stop her! How can you even ask me that? I'm your fiancée not Gillian I should've been the one you kissed not that little conniving brat! I'm going home and to bed I'm so angry at you right now Simon just leave me alone! Goodnight Brittany, Alvin, Elle, and Theo. We're engaged not even a day and you kiss another girl with me right there! At least your brother Alvin hasn't left my sister's side all night because he doesn't trust Chelsea! Ooh you are such a jerk!"
Simon ran after her.
"Jeanette I'm sorry. How was I supposed to know she followed me to my room? Jeanette please get back here! I didn't mean to!"
Alvin's eyes rose up as Brittany kissed him. Then he shook his head.
"She went to Simon's room? How did she know which room was his? What is going on here? Wait a minute; what were you two doing in your rooma lone anyway Simon?"
He stared.
"Oh don't you even think I would do that to my fiancée. I went to my room to take off my tie and she was behind me. Then she pushed me down to my bed and kissed me full of passion. I tried to push her off but Jean didn't see that part! Then before I knew it she was out the door in tears and wouldn't let me explain."
Theodore stared.
"You're clue less I swear. You knew that Chelsea was going to pull something like that; and you should've been smart enough to close your bedroom door. Its no one else's fault but your own…now take your big brain to the girls' house and celebrate your engagement night right! Believe me she'll forgive you; don't you know that's what she wants? Alvin and I will cover for you and Jeanette and so will Brittany and Eleanor! Now go! Alvin am I right or wrong?"
He looked up from making out with Brittany and responded.
"Yea you are right. He should've closed his bedroom door and listen for anyone in his room with him. But no he thinks he knows it all; so he gets caught kissing another girl in front of his fiancée!"
Chelsea exited the house and Alvin glared.
"What you can't get me to leave Brittany's side so you take a chance and have Gillian following him to his room so he'll get caught? You know what you make me sick! Why don't you both go in the pool and cool off!"
He got up off the swing and pushed them both in the pool. Brittany started to laugh and so did Theodore and Eleanor! Then he laughed and said.
"That's what you get; for pretending to be Brittany's friend again. You figured becoming Brittany's friend again you'd get close to me and pull a stunt like you did a few months ago after Mike's party! So don't even play innocent with us you're not! You couldn't get me so you went after my brother, but little do you know their fights don't last long!"
Brittany looked and stared.
"Neither do our fights Alvin. Not just Simon and Jeanette's you know! Within minutes we make up and forgive one another. Well except a few times those fights lasted days and weeks. So no matter what you try to do you will not succeed in breaking the 4 of us up so give it up. We're engaged to be married Chelsea it's a little too late to break either couple up.
