"Thanksgiving Promise pt 4"
Thanksgiving morning the boys woke up early and headed downstairs to help Dave with the turkey. Alvin and Simon still avoided one another and Theodore just shook his head. He helped Dave by cleaning out the turkey and Alvin cut up the ingredients for the stuffing still avoiding Simon. Simon looked and stared.
"You avoiding me is immature; it's the truth and you know I'm right! Let me help you with that Alvin! Now stop acting like a big baby you'll be 14 start acting it will you?"
Alvin handed him a plate and a knife with the apples and still said nothing to him. Theodore walked over by his brothers.
"What are you to going to give one another the silent treatment on Thanksgiving? Can one day out of the year be happy instead of you two constantly fighting! Or is that too hard for you both? Alvin stop ignoring me and stop being like that."
Alvin looked up and stared.
"I'm just sick and tired of Simon saying I can't seem to keep from getting myself in trouble! When I'm not that bad!"
Theodore looked.
"Alvin you seriously need to learn to ignore him when he talks like that. It's the first Thanksgiving you can be with Brittany. Instead of making a big deal out of something our big brained brother said you should enjoy your holiday with your girl. I am and Simon will be. Just let it go will you? Don't be in a bad mood on Thanksgiving and let Brittany see it; and then she'll be in a bad mood! Oh the Thanksgiving Parade is coming on. Alvin please cheer up Brittany just woke up."
He sighed and finished cutting up the celery and onions for Dave's stuffing. Brittany came up behind him and kissed him on the cheek.
"Good morning Alvin. How did you sleep last night? I slept so comfortably and was so glad I'm here and not in Chicago this year! Aren't you glad we're together on Thanksgiving?"
He smiled and responded.
"Yes of course I am Britt. Just getting aggravated with my stupid brother Simon like usual. He keeps on telling me I can't seem to stay out of trouble!"
She smiled and rested her head on his shoulder.
"So just let him talk; don't let him get to you on Thanksgiving please for me? What exactly are you doing? Oh good morning Simon."
He looked and stared.
"Good morning Brittany. Let me go get Jean up the parade is coming on. I'll be right back."
Alvin and Brittany watched as Simon headed upstairs to the spare room. Eleanor was already awake and getting dressed. Simon knocked and Eleanor finished getting dressed. Then she unlocked the door and let him in.
"Sorry bout that Simon I was getting dressed and can't seem to get Jeanette up. I'm going downstairs to give your father and the others a hand with cooking. Maybe you'll have better luck than I did."
Simon laughed and watched as Eleanor headed downstairs. Then he sat on the edge of the bed and shook Jeanette gently.
"Jean sweetie get up the parade is coming on. Everyone is up but you. Come on now."
She woke up and stretched. Then she smiled at him and gave him a kiss.
"Oh Simon I'm sorry for sleeping late. I know I said I would help you 4 but then I slept so comfortably last night that it slipped my mind! I'm just glad we're actually together on Thanksgiving for once. I'll be right out; let me get dressed. "
He watched as she entered the bathroom and sighed. Then he stared out of the window and sighed. He felt her arms wrap around his waist and her lips on his cheek.
"What's the matter Simon? Why do you seem so sad? You have to cheer up its Thanksgiving."
He sighed and grabbed her hands by his waist.
"I'm not sad, just a little tired because I couldn't seem to sleep last night. All night I was awaken by these stupid dreams about you and me in passion. This time they were so intense that it completely freaked me out! I had to change my sheets and everything just for me to get to sleep! I'm sorry Jean. I'll be fine really come on downstairs the parade is about to start. Everyone is waiting for us to join them."
They descended from the stairs and sat on the couch across from Alvin and Brittany. She had her head on his shoulder and her arms around him. Eleanor was also resting her head on Theodore's shoulder. Alvin looked up.
"Come on you 2 the parade is about to start. Here sit next to us since Theodore and Eleanor grabbed the loveseat so we have to share the couch."
Simon and Jeanette joined them and the room became silent as the chipmunks couples sat and watched the parade. Dave basted the turkey and joined the 4 of them on the couch and also watched the parade in silence. Brittany sighed and kissed Alvin on the lips and Dave cleared his throat.
"Ah hem; now you know better Alvin."
He looked.
"Dave it was just a kiss geez. I'm not a child anymore I'm a teenage chipmunk. Give me a break will you! Ooh I am so tired of getting treated like a baby! I can't even kiss my girlfriend without my father yelling at me! Look at Simon and Theodore they're also making out with their girlfriends and you haven't yelled at them yet! Oh whatever!"
Brittany sighed and ran her fingers through his hair.
"Alvin calm down will you? Please stop being angry. Alright that's it. Time for the older sister to step in."
She picked up two pillows and threw them at her sisters and his brothers.
"Breathe will you 4 already if you can't then take it to the room already! Enough now; it's not right for Alvin getting yelled at when you two are just as bad as him. Now enough and watch the parade and break apart already! Now I've had it with Alvin getting blamed all the time! Dave look at those 4 they're doing the same thing and ignoring me! Yell at them too and not just Alvin and I."
Dave looked and glared.
"Simon and Theodore you 2 also know better now enough! Break it up now or you both will get grounded! Do I make myself clear?"
They also broke apart and Alvin laughed. Then he looked at Dave.
"Thank you; see told you so. I'm not the only one."
The parade ended and Alvin helped Dave with the lasagna while Brittany watched and learned. She also helped him put the lasagna together and dipped her finger in the ricotta and put it on his nose. He laughed and did the same to her.
"Ha we're even now. Now what you gonna do about it? Well I'm waiting."
She laughed and made sure Dave was not around. She leaned into him and kissed him passionately. He gulped and felt the urge again.
"Brittany don't you dare. My father will kill me. Oh man here he comes Brittany stop please!"
She heard Dave and broke apart from him. Then she used the rag and wiped the ricotta from his nose and they acted like nothing was going on. He used the rag and also wiped the ricotta from her nose and smiled.
"Whew that was too close. We are definitely closer to 3rd base than we're both aware of. This time your hand was inside my shirt and by my boxers. We have to definitely be more careful before I get killed! Do you understand me?"
She sighed and looked.
"Yes I do understand you. But Alvin can't we just sneak into your room and get it over with? You are not having an easy time staying in control either. It's in your eyes and you can't fool me! We're both chipmunks Alvin and have our wants and needs and to me they are both you! I thought you felt the same way but I guess I was wrong! Fine ignore me like you normally do see if I care! I'm staying away from you since you want to be like that."
He watched as she stormed out of the kitchen and into the living room to watch TV. Then he shook his head and put the lasagna in the oven. Simon laughed and Alvin glared.
"Are you looking for my fist to go in your mouth? It's not funny Simon now stop laughing! My girlfriend is ticked off at me on Thanksgiving; it's not a good feeling! Mind you on the only Thanksgiving we're together."
Simon stared.
"Oh really then get your butt in the living room and go and talk to her duh! Your problem is you're so full of yourself that you forget you have a girlfriend that needs attention and just don't seem to care! I don't care if I'm younger than you either! If that was my girl upset like that I'd go and try to calm her down but no not you you're conceited! It's a miracle she hasn't dumped you yet; the way you are toward her! Oh whatever Alvin I give up on you! You're just too blind to see how bad you treat your girlfriend!"
Theodore stared.
"He is right you know. Alvin I'm not taking sides but you do treat her pretty badly and you just never realize it! She is actually crying and her own baby sister can't seem to cheer her up no matter how hard she tries to!"
Alvin looked.
"I don't treat her bad either; I know what she wants but I am not about to take a chance and give it to her Dave will kill me!"
He entered the living room and sat next to Brittany.
"Britt I'm not avoiding you either. I just don't want to take a chance with my father here. Sweetie you have to understand; he doesn't trust me as is. If he ever catches us I will be a dead chipmunk and be grounded!"
She looked and stared.
"Who said you treat me badly? I never said that and just don't know how much longer I can hold out…Alvin I love you and want you to see exactly what this Chipette has to offer her chipmunk. I'm not trying to get you in trouble just can't seem to get my mind out of the gutter when it comes to you! Maybe cause we're chipmunks and in love! I'm so confused!"
He smiled and brushed his hand against her cheek.
"Don't be confused Brittany. You are right we are chipmunks in love, but have boundaries cause we're both adopted! Britt I promise later tonight we will but don't treat me like this because I'm yelling at you! I have my reasons why I keep on rejecting your passes at me. Alright now dry those tears and cheer up; its Thanksgiving and we're together not on the phone talking to one another in two different states. Let's make the best out of it alright!"
She smiled and wiped the tears from her eyes. Then she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him passionately. Theodore squirted them both with water and pointed to where Dave was glaring.
"Alvin I am not playing; don't you even think about it young man chipmunk or not! Now enough! All 6 of you get ready they'll be here in less than 40 minutes move it now!"
Brittany sighed and followed her sisters into the spare room to get ready for dinner. Eleanor looked.
"Do you 2 think there's a possibility tonight will be the night we can finally advance our relationships? I read something about chipmunks and according to that female chipmunks can start mating as young as 1. To me that's just hard to imagine!"
Brittany looked.
"No it's not that's how young we start out. But see we're living in the city and have to abide by the rules no matter how much it sucks but that's the breaks! Alvin reminded me earlier and now I understand what he meant by that! Then again he is known as the bad boy and will figure something out and I can't wait! Don't underestimate his brothers either ladies they can also be sneaky if they really want to! Let's just hope none of us get caught by Dave."
Her sisters laughed and they all took turns in their showers. Brittany was the 1st one done and knocked on Alvin's bedroom door.
"Alvin are you still in the shower it's me Brittany? Alvin?"
She looked at his door and realized it wasn't locked. So she entered and sat on his bed staring at his wall. She heard the shower running and sighed as she waited for him to get out. She heard the shower turn off and stared into his mirror. He exited the bathroom with a towel on and she looked up and gulped. Before he saw her there she exited his room and took several deep breaths as her body ignited with desire. Her sisters saw her breathing heavy and wiping the sweat from her brow. Eleanor was the 1st one to speak.
"So I guess you were right he is very sneaky?"
She looked.
"Nothing happened Elle. I just saw him in nothing but his towel and now am all heated up. He's going to kill me if he finds out I saw you know! Aww man I really hate my life right now! How am I going to be able to hide the fact I saw him…."
Eleanor laughed.
"Like it's the 1st time you saw that? Oh please Brittany don't make me laugh. I saw Theodore's and you don't see me acting like that. But see we were closer than you and Alvin ever will be. But he backed down because he got scared. You're making it a big deal when it's really not! We're chipmunks and start out sooner than humans! Right Jean?"
Jeanette stared.
"Oh yea you're right Elle. Simon and I also got really close but Ms. Miller walked in so we acted like nothing was about to happen! Though I really wish I just went through with it; now all I can think of is making love to Simon! The thought of it makes my body ignite! Especially last night when we were making out passionately on his bed! "
Brittany shook her head and walked away from her sisters. Then she helped Dave put the food out. She looked in the fridge and asked.
"Am I supposed to pour the adults wine or not?"
He smiled and looked at her.
"No Brittany I'll pour the wine. You just take the cider off the flame and make sure you use the cheesecloth to strain it. Then you can pour you 5 some with an ice cube in it. "
Confused she asked.
"5 what about Alvin? Isn't he drinking cider with the rest of us or is he allergic?"
Alvin descended from the stairs and answered.
"No my grandfather wants me to have my 1st glass of wine because it's tradition but he forgets I'm only 13 not 18 or 21. Besides I'm a chipmunk and am not supposed to drink alcohol Dave?"
Dave looked.
"Will you stop being like that? Just take a sip and if you don't like it then you can have cider with the rest of them. Alvin will you calm down?"
He shook his head and looked at the wine on the table.
"I don't want any. Can't you tell grandpa that? Man I hate the smell of it and don't really want to know what it tastes like."
He decided to stop arguing with Dave and just remained silent as he put the food out on the snack bar. Dave heard the door bell ring and let his parents in. Alvin pulled out Brittany's chair so she could sit down and then he took his seat next to her staring at the glass of wine by his plate. His brothers pulled out her sisters' chairs and then they took their seats next to them.
Theodore said grace as everyone sat down at the table. Grandpa Seville looked at Alvin.
"Who is that charming little girl next to my oldest grandson?"
Alvin looked.
'This is my girlfriend Brittany Miller lead singer of the Chipettes and we're together nearly 3 years."
Brittany smiled as Grandpa Seville kissed her hand.
"Nice to meet you Mr. Seville."
Then he looked by Alvin's brothers and asked.
"Oh who are those charming young ladies next to my other two grandsons?"
Simon looked up.
"Oh Grandpa that charming young lady next to me is my girlfriend Jeanette Miller and we're together nearly 2 years. Next to Theodore is his girlfriend Eleanor Miller and they're together a month. The 3 of them make up the Chipettes and tour with us. If Alvin and Theodore weren't busy stuffing their faces then they would tell you they are the best things that have happened to us since our rise to fame."
Alvin looked up and glared.
"Keep it up and I swear you'll be an injured younger brother. Knock it off. You're really starting to get under my skin and I'm going to hurt you! Anyway Grandpa we met the girls at an audition for super groups and became best friends. Then we started to tour together and became an item. Some sooner than the other. Let's just say the girls complete the 3 of us with the love they show the 3 of us. 3 rock stars that found love while on tour and we're glad we did."
Brittany smiled.
"Oh Alvin that is so sweet thank you. No matter I love you so much; you also complete me and your brothers definitely complete my sisters. The 3 of us would like to propose a toast to you 3 for showing us what love is and being there for us when we needed you! We are the luckiest Chipettes to have the Chipmunks in our arms and by our sides. Right ladies."
Both her sisters smiled.
"Oh yes to the boys for showing us what love is after we had such a hard knock life when we came to America from Australia! We love all 3 of you with our hearts and souls!"
Alvin and his brothers smiled. Then all 6 of them touched glasses and then the adults. He sipped his wine and coughed. Brittany hit his back and gave him water to drink.
"Alvin darling are you alright?"
He sighed with relief.
"Yea I am thank you Britt the wine went down the wrong pipe. I'm fine really!"
Everyone ate their dinner in silence and Alvin drank his wine slowly. When everyone was done eating Simon took the dishes to the kitchen with Jeanette's help and Theodore and Eleanor snuck up to his room. Theodore closed his bedroom door and lay on his back gazing up at the ceiling.
"Ok I'm full and just can't eat no more!"
Eleanor locked his door behind her and moved up on his bed kissing him passionately.
He accepted without hesitation and said.
"Ok I get it but can you at least wait until my food digests? Elle please I ate a lot of food and just can barely move right now. At least 20 minutes and then this chipmunk will satisfy his chipette!"
She smiled and nodded.
"Ok 20 minutes but no more. I want you Theodore and will not be happy until you surrender yourself to me or give it to me!"
He looked up and stared.
"Me surrender to you? No Elle sweetie you will surrender to me I'm the male remember!"
In the meantime Brittany stared at Alvin as he sat at the table and held his head.
"Are you sure you're ok? Alvin what's the matter? Why don't you go lay down and I'll be right up after I help my sister and your brother clean off the table and put the leftovers away!"
He looked up and turned to Dave.
"I can't finish my wine it's too strong for me. I'm going to lie down in my room I have an awful headache now and am getting dizzy!"
Brittany watched as he walked up the stairs and was concerned. She went up the stairs behind him thinking he was going to fall. They got to his bedroom door and he looked.
"Brittany why do you seem worried?"
She looked and stared.
"Because you said you were dizzy! Why you sly chipmunk you! You're fine aren't you? You did that so you can get away and not drink your wine."
He shook his head.
"No the wine had no affect on me. You have an affect on me and if I was you I'd get in here with me before my father figures out I was faking that. Unless you rather go back downstairs and help them out in the kitchen your least favorite place! The choice is yours love puddle."
She stared into his deep blue eyes.
"Alvin we just got done eating shouldn't we let our food digest first? I mean we both ate a lot of food. Can you give me about 20 minutes and then I'm all yours! I ate a lot more than I usually do and don't want to get sick in the middle of it? Please don't get mad at me. I'll be right back up I promise."
He smiled.
"Alright 20 minutes but no longer. Go on and help them in the kitchen I'll be waiting! Ok you made a point I am also stuffed and need to let my food digest. I'll just read a comic book until it does."
He lay on his bed and read a comic book in silence as his food digested. Through his wall he heard Theodore and Eleanor talking. He knocked on Theodore's door and Theodore got up and opened his door.
"Yes Alvin can I help you? We're not doing anything just umm talking. I'm too stuffed to do anything right now. How are you feeling after that wine?"
He looked and stared suspiciously.
"I'm perfectly fine why do you ask?"
He looked.
"Oh cause I thought you'd be umm knocked out after all that food and that wine. We're not up to anything just umm talking!"
Alvin crossed his arms by his chest and stared.
"Who do you think you're fooling baby brother? If I was you I'd umm lock my door to keep myself from getting busted and try to keep it down! I don't want to hear it! Kabish! Remember Theodore my room is right next door and I am a chipmunk with real good hearing so you better watch it! If I get blamed you will be a sorry baby brother mark my words!"
Theodore looked.
"Like you're going to pay attention. You're also up to no good bro it's all over your face! Remember we're brothers and know everything so don't go and lecture me. As soon as Brittany is done downstairs you'll be at it way before us so try again Alvin! Then most likely Simon and Jean will also! So basically you 4 will start before we do we ate a lot more than all 4 of you put together! As for you the wine will kick in don't think it won't!"
"Will Theodore be right or wrong and who will crack first? Sorry I'm making you all wait but I want you all to be eager on who cracks first! Will the wine have an affect on Alvin or not?"
