Chapter 6

Hidden Secrets

The sun was up shining bright for a new day. Jeanette slowly opened her eyes as the sun rays had awoken her. She sat up, yawning and rubbing her eyes as she put her glasses on. "Last night was incredible." she looked over and saw Simon, and gasped. "What have I done?" She looked down to the ground and realized they were both naked. She now knew what she did. Simon felt the sheets move and opened his eyes. "Morning, Jean." he said, smiling and rubbed her naked back. No response. "Jean?" Jeanette just looked down. "Hey, what's wrong?" Simon sat up, putting his glasses on and hugged her. She looked up at him. "What have we done, Simon?" They stared at each other in silence. "It's all my fault." Simon buried his hands in his face. "No, Si. I-it's my fault, as well. We… We both wanted this." The room was quiet. Not a sound in the room. "Simon..." she said, breaking the silence. "Yeah, Jean?" he replied. She looked up again. "Can I be alone for a while?" He sighed. "Of course, Jeanette. Call me if you need anything i'm right here for you." he kissed her forehead; got dressed, and left. She got up and showered as well before getting dressed and driving home.

Back at the hotel room Alvin and Brittany were quietly staring at each other. "You know, it was great." she sighed and rolled her eyes. "Alvin… We just had sex. I mean, we cheated on our partners, for Christ's sake." she said, throwing up an arm in disbelief. "When you put it like that, you make it sound depressing as hell." he replied, feeling a little hurt. Brittany sighed. "L-look, I just need some time to think, ok? This was too intense." Alvin looked down at the floor, not saying a word. "We should head back. Come on, i'll take you home." she said as she got up from her chair. Alvin grabbed her hand and she stopped. He got up and kissed her forehead. Not a word was said between them, but they knew what it meant. Those old feelings were back, stronger than ever.

Reaching Alvin's house, Brittany parked next to it. They both sighed. "Relax Brit, it'll be fine I'm sure." she turned to look at him. "I hope so." Alvin leaned in slowly and they began to kiss. She pulled back quickly. "Whoa; whoa, wait." she put up a hand. "Right now, is not the time for this." Alvin nodded understandingly. "Right." he said as he got out of her car. "Text or call me if you need anything, alright?" she gave him a weak smile. "Thanks, Alvin." he smiled back and turned around to head home.

I can't call you a stranger

But I can't call you

I know you think that I erased you

You may hate me but I can't hate you

And I won't replace you

Tell me how to feel about you now

Tell me how to feel about you now

Oh, let me know

Do I suffocate or let go?

Brittany drove home and got caught up in her feelings; confused, scared, and most of all, lost. Tears fell from her eyes. "Why did this happen? How could I let this happen? It shouldn't have ever happened. Damnit, Seville..."

You keep me up with your silence

Take me down with your quiet

Of all the weapons you fight with

Your silence is the most violent

"What am I gonna tell Simon?" She gripped her steering wheel. Wiping her tears away at times. Genuinely fearful of how'd he react if she did tell him. "God, i'm so stupid..."

You don't have to tell me

If you ever think of me

I know you say you're busy

In the wild fog of your memory

You don't have to tell me

I can still believe

She finally reached her house and slowly entered her garage. Her heart was racing. "Simon's home." she put the car in park and gulped. Simon heard Brittany pulling in the driveway "Oh, crap. Here we go." he was just as nervous. She sighed, catching her breath and getting the strength to finally enter her house. He saw the door knob move slowly twisting its way open. The door opened, Brittany walked Into the house and closed the door behind her. She looked up to see Simon standing in the living room. "Hi, Simon." "Brittany I… Want to apologize about last night. I apologize for calling you a bitch. I-i guess i got caught up in the moment, and anger overtook me." "Simon, I do too. I'm so sorry for hitting you, and ripping up the album of you and Jeanette." she began to tear up. "Anger got the both of us." she sniffled. He hugged her and whispered "Hey, hey. It's okay Brittany. Let's be strong and move on from this, okay? Besides, i taped it up. No worries, my dear." Tears ran down her cheeks as she nodded and hugged Simon back.

"I'm sorry."

Alvin walked into his house heading straight for the shower. "I feel disgusting. I shouldn't have drank as much." he opened the door to his room and was surprised to find Jeanette sitting on the bed. "Hey, babe." Alvin whispered nervously. She slowly looked up at him. Her normally intellectual mind raced and her eyes darted back and forth in anxiety. "What do I tell him? Shit..." Alvin saw her eyes, that must've meant something. Of course, he'd had his secret, too. The cruel irony in all this, was that the two vastly different couples had yet to reveal their trysts last night. Neither; though, were willing to admit it. Not yet, anyway. Jeanette looked up at the young Chipmunk; still dazed but slowly recovering from his drinking binge. If she told him now, he might end up drinking himself to death. She didn't want to lose him, though. So she took a deep breath, mentally and emotionally trying to brace herself. Alvin, i love you… Please find it in your heart to forgive me one day. Whomever you choose, i'll still love you… she thought.

"Alvin… H-honey... I-i've got something to tell you…" A single tear fell from her eye.

"Hey, why are you crying Alvin?" She wiped his tear from his face. He sighed. "I'm..sorry for yelling at you yesterday…I don't know what got over me." She looked up at him and she began to tear up as well. "I'm sorry too, Alvin… It's just knowing that you were talking to Brittany… Set me off." "I'm sorry, babe." They hugged for a while not saying a single word, but in contrast, their minds said a lot.

"He doesn't know a thing..."

"I don't know how to tell her, if i even should tell her…"

Days went by with their secrets hidden. No one but themselves knew what they've done. Alvin was on his couch one day when he felt his phone vibrate. He checked his phone and saw Brittany's contact name on the screen. "Need to talk ASAP" he replied and got off the couch. "Jean?" He walked to the room and saw Jeanette sleeping. He closed the room and headed out as fast as he could.

Alvin got out of his car to a nearby park and saw Brittany. When she put her phone away she saw Alvin, ran up and hugged him. "Hey." they said to each other and kissed. "Does she know?" Alvin looked at her. "Not a word. Does Simon?" Brittany shook her head. "What are we gonna do, Alvin?" He stood quietly and just hugged her then finally whispered. "I don't know."

Jeanette woke up to her empty bed wondering where Alvin went. She yawned while putting on her glasses and walking to the living room. He was nowhere to be found. She went to her kitchen and saw something that caught her eye. She walked to her window moving her curtain, seeing Simon standing there. "SIMON?" He quickly looks up and walks to the back door.

"Simon, what are you doing here? Jeanette said while letting him in. He kissed her and closed the door. "I missed you, Jean." They stared into each other's eyes. "Simon..." They continued kissing, fogging up their glasses and slowly making their way to the couch. Their kisses became more aggressive as they landed on the couch. She slowly pulled away "What's gotten into you?" "I don't know, but I wanna be with you physically." she smiled and kissed him. He slowly started taking off her shirt. But she looked down quickly. "Should we really be doing this, Si?" She whispered to him. Simon looked at her without saying a word. After a couple moments of silence she looked at him and said "Ok, but make it fast. I don't know when Alvin'll get back."

"Haaah, aaah… Al… A-al-vinnn!" Brittany squealed from the bushes. Alvin had to keep his hand over her mouth to keep her quiet. "Sssh! Shit, Brittany! Relax…" He whispered into her ear. "I-i'm s-sorry, y-you just feel s-so good…" she whined. Just as he was about to be finished, her climax hit and she bit down on his hand. "Ow! Leggo!" he said, she let him go. He shook his hand and had to release his semen on the ground so as to not tip his brother off. "Dammit, Miller. You were lucky i got out in time." he grumbled at her. She simply smirked at him, happy and content in their afterglow. "Heh, i know you miss me. You wouldn't come to see me otherwise." she said. "Brittany, i'll admit yes, i miss you. But if Jeanette finds out about this..." he started to say. She cut him off by pulling him into a lustfully deep french kiss. "Who says she'll have to find out? It'll be our dirty… little… secret." she whispered, licking his lips and giggling. Alvin was in shock, he didn't know quite what to say, so he stared at her for a few minutes before returning the kiss. They got dressed and cleaned up the best they could before they went back to their cars, Alvin smacked her ass and she turned to wink at him.

"F-faster, Simon! Ohhh, shhhiiittt!" she screamed, riding atop him before he got up and spun around. "W-what're you…? Aahh!" she squeaked, he raised her leg up while going back inside her. She couldn't hold back anymore, and promptly came over his crotch. "J-jeanette! That's it, Jeanie! Mmmm…" he moaned out, releasing himself on her ass and some on her back. Both their glasses were fogged up, but somehow they stumbled into a loving kiss of their own. Both were exhausted. It was meant to be quick, but it still tired them out. Jeanette painted heavily, and said "S-si? S-simon. Get up, i don't want Alvin seeing you here. L-let's go." "F-fuck… Fuck him, Jeanette. I-i want to share your bed… W-with y-you, and only you." he managed to say, being spent himself. "Simon…" she whispered. He didn't answer. Instead, he made out with her for a minute then looked into her eyes, trying silently to convey the burning feelings he still had with her. She nodded, wrapping her arms around his neck before they heard Alvin's car pull up. Although it sounded a little farther off than usual. "You'd better go." she said as they got cleaned and dressed. He took his leave out the window and around to his car, speeding off just before Alvin turned the corner into his driveway. "Damn, that was close." he thought, wiping his sweat-covered brow in relief.

Alvin wondered why he heard burning rubber, but thought little of it and headed inside. "Hi, baby." he said when he saw Jeanette. "Hey, y-you ok?" he asked, concerned about her mysteriously covered in sweat. Also why the smell of air freshener hung heavy in the room, especially on the couch. "O-oh, h-hi A-alvin! You're uh, back! Where'd you go? I-i missed you." she said, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him. Trying to hide her growing guilt, although he was just as guilty. "I-i just went out to grab a bite to eat, dear." he said. "I could've cooked for you, you know." she replied, smiling. "Yeah, but i thought i'd give you a break." he said. "Thank you, Alvie." she kissed him again and turned to go to the shower, but he grabbed her waist and she tensed up. "You sure you're ok? You seem... Tense. Something wrong?" he asked, eyeing her suspiciously. "No, n-no! Of course n-not! It's just that i tried your workout equipment today, a-and i feel tired and sweaty from pushing myself, l-like you do. Let me go and shower, and maybe i can give you a goood warmup…" she said, trying her best to sound seductive. I hope i'm convincing enough… she thought, licking his lips and patting his crotch, not knowing it was stained. "Oook… Love you." he said, still keeping watch on her. "Love you, too!" she replied, running upstairs and shutting and locking the bathroom door behind her. "She's hiding something, i've gotta get to the bottom of this. Ah, Brittany. You sexy minx…" he thought, chuckling to himself. Alvin's up to something. He's been so… So distant, lately. Does he really love me, or is he leading me on? Well; if he is, then i know who'll comfort me… A certain blue-clad Chipmunk. Simon... she thought as she tried to wash her body of the guilt she'd felt. Alvin changed and showered after her, although they both had trouble sleeping that night, dealing with their respective guilt they'd held. Both couples knew it in their hearts, though. They'd fallen out of love with each other; and were yearning to go back to their old flames, rekindled again for the first time in years, problems between them be damned.

Brittany…

Simon…

Alvin…

Jeanette...
