Sudden Changes

Ch 4

"The Wait Is Over"

Wednesday afternoon the 6 of them walked home together and Theodore sighed and asked.

"So when do you have your date with umm Trent anyway? Eleanor just promise me one thing that you'll be very careful while you're out with him? I will be worried all night until you give me a call and let me know what happened. "

She smiled and wanted to kiss him but wasn't going to just yet until it was over with Trent and her.

"I promise you I'll call you Theo; please stop worrying. Please trust me; after tonight you'll be the only guy in my life."

He sighed as he watched his brothers kiss her sisters bye and walked ahead with his head dropped. Alvin knew something was on his baby brother's mind and put his hand on his shoulder.

"Theo what's the matter? All day in school you've seemed worried. Does it have to do with Eleanor being with Trent still? Talk to me please I'm your brother."

He sighed and responded.

"Yes Alvin it does have a lot to do with it. See when we went to get our costumes yesterday I told Eleanor how I feel about her and we became a couple. But we aren't acting like it until she dumps that jerk she's been with for a year. The problem is I'm not really sure she'll dump him or not and don't trust him either. You know how sensitive I am and also think I was stupid to ask her to be my girl when she's already with someone else!"

Alvin sighed.

"No I don't think you're stupid Theo. I just don't think she should've said yes to you when she's still with this guy. I mean we all saw the way he treated her the time they've been together and yet she still hasn't broken up with him. But now that she said yes to you I don't think we have much to worry about. Even though I am having a really bad feeling about him taking her out tonight. Just make sure your cell is on and you don't go to sleep until she calls you. I have a feeling tonight the 3 of us will be at the girls' house. Come on Theo let's get moving."

Simon ran after them and looked at Theodore.

"Theo by any chance did you umm tell Eleanor about the way you feel about her? You've been acting awfully weird today at school."

He sighed.

"Yes Simon I told her yesterday and she said yes, but she's still with Trent and they have a date tonight. So all I have to do is sit and wait and pray she does dump him and isn't lying to me. I can't have my heart broken anymore than it already is. Can we please drop it already? Simon please."

Simon finally shut up and the 3 of them entered the house and they saw Dave.

"Hey boys how was school today? Did the girls get home safe and sound? Alvin I have to run to the store; I want all 3 of you in your room doing your homework. I mean it Alvin move it young man."

Alvin sighed.

"I don't have homework Dave. I just have a test to study for. Ok fine I'm going my marathon comes on tonight and I want to be done studying before it comes on."

He entered his bedroom and so did his brothers. Back at the Miller house Brittany thought about Alvin's remark in Science today and shook her head.

'What does he mean we haven't been left alone yet? I can't concentrate thinking about that remark he made. I have to go over there and find out what he meant.'

She descended from the stairs and asked.

"Ms. Miller can I go by Alvin's to talk to him about something? I won't be long I promise. Ms. Miller?"

Ms. Miller looked.

"Sure Brittany dear; not too long young lady you have a test to study for. Go on then and be right back."

She sighed and exited the house locking the door behind her. She came to Alvin's house and knocked on the door as Dave was about to leave.

"Hey Brittany; Alvin is in his room studying. Make sure that door is open young lady I mean it! After what I walked in and seen that day you both are lucky I'm allowing you in his room. Bye Brittany!"

She looked.

"Dave we were only kissing nothing else was going to happen. We're too young and both know better. But I'll leave the door open."

She headed up the stairs and heard Dave's car pull out. Then she knocked on Alvin's door.

"Alvin it's me Brittany can I come in? Alvin?"

He looked up and responded.

"Come in Britt the door isn't locked. I'm just studying."

She entered and looked at him sitting at his desk.

"Hey Alvin what exactly did you mean by that remark in Science class when we were umm going over the reproduction chapter? Were you trying to tell me we were over or a warning that we're closer to 3rd base than we're both aware of? I was studying but then that remark popped in my head."

He sighed and looked up from his text book.

"It's a warning we're closer to 3rd base than we're aware of. After what happened this passed summer it just occurred to me how close we were that afternoon. Actually if my father didn't walk in when he did then I'd be in deeper trouble than I was that afternoon. Why would you think we're over! I'm sorry you thought I meant that but no I would never dump you I am in love with you Brittany!"

She sighed with relief and leaned down to kiss him. He accepted and felt her hands moving inside his shirt and froze.

"Britt now is not…t-t-he time to kiss me like this. I-I- h-h-have to study for our umm t-test! Don't s-s-tart that a-a-gain!"

She smiled and continued to move her hands inside his shirt and moved it up slowly knocking him off his desk chair. He gulped and gazed into her ice blue eyes feeling his body start to heat up. She felt it too and pushed him down to his bedroom floor kissing him passionately.

"Alvin please don't reject me I want you more than I ever have before!"

He looked up and felt sweat starting to form on his body.

"Brittany it's not wise. We really shouldn't my father is due home at any minute please let me up! Brittany please get off of me!"

They heard a knock on his bedroom door and she jumped fixing her skirt and her shirt. Then he got up and shook his head while he fixed his shirt. He ran into his bathroom and washed his face off with cold water. He ran to his bedroom door and Brittany sat on his bed reading his text book. Simon stood there and looked.

"Ms. Miller just called. She wants Brittany home to study for her test. What were you two doing in here with your door closed when Dave told you to leave it open. Alvin answer me damn it!"

Alvin glared and stared at him.

"We were talking Simon! Stop bossing me around I'm the oldest not you now enough! Come on Brittany you have to get home before you get in trouble. Do you need me to walk you?"

She got up and exited his room.

"No I'll be fine walking home by myself. Thank you though Alvin love you. See you tomorrow morning. Get back to your studying so your grades don't drop!"

He walked her outside and Simon continued to stare. Alvin entered the house again and grabbed a drink for himself and then entered his room and went back to his studying.

"What are you looking at? Go back in your room and finish your homework; now Simon move it!"

Around 7:30pm the house phone rang and Alvin answered.

"Hey Ms. Miller. Let me go get Dave for you. Just give me a minute."

He ran downstairs and said.

"Dave pick up the phone Ms. Miller wants to ask you something."

He listened on the other end and his eyes slanted in anger as he heard Dave knock on Simon's door.

"Oh Simon; Jeanette wants you to go by and help her with her math homework she's really stuck on that chapter! Would you like to go over there or stay here and relax?"

Simon looked.

"Sure Dave I'll go. Let me just get my sneakers on and my cell. "

Simon entered Alvin's room and smiled slyly.

"I'm going by Jeanette's; too bad you can't be trusted to go over there like me."

Alvin glared.

"Good for you and I could care less! I am staying here so I can watch my marathon without everyone bothering me! Well go on then Mr. Goody Two Shoes! Stop shoving it in my face before I get off my bed and pound you! Oh hey Dave."

Theodore heard him and Simon fighting and watched as Alvin headed downstairs and sat on the couch with his arms crossed by his chest. Then he entered his room and went back to his homework. He stared up at the picture of him and Eleanor at the album release party and sighed.
