The Week of the Senior Prom
Ch 2
"Arrival at the Prom"
Saturday morning Alvin woke up around 10am, and got dressed. Then he woke up his two brothers and said.
"Come on you two we have to get the girls their corsages. I can't believe all 3 of us forgot about the corsages. We got everything else but the corsages. Talk about being absent-minded."
Simon woke up and put his glasses on. Then he looked.
"Alvin pull yourself together. Dave already got them they're in the fridge. Stop worrying about the corsages and go talk to Theo he's been real upset lately. I think I made a mistake and got him more upset then he was before."
Alvin looked and asked.
"What did you do to upset him? Simon what did you do?"
He looked and gulped.
"Umm I laughed at him when he asked me for advice."
Alvin glared and yelled.
"You did what? What kind of advice did he go to you for? Answer me Simon before I injure you?"
He stared and said.
"We're talking about Theodore here. He couldn't have been serious about going all the way with Eleanor. He's way too shy and sweet."
Alvin entered Theodore's room and sat on the bed. Then he asked.
"What kind of advice were you trying to get from Simon? I'm here now let me know what's been on your mind lately. I'll listen and not laugh I promise."
He looked and said.
"I already tried to ask you and you walked away. So forget about it I'll figure it out on my own I'm probably better off anyway since neither of you want to listen to me and think I'm too shy! Don't worry about it. Thanks for nothing."
Alvin looked and said.
"Theo on Thursday I had a lot to do. It wasn't that I didn't want to talk to you. I did try to talk to you after we came back, but you were studying with Elle. I'm available now talk to me I'll listen I promise."
He looked and said.
"Ok fine. See tonight is Prom night right? Eleanor has an idea to get a room so we can move to the next level of our relationship. You know the level you and Simon are on with Jeanette and Brittany. She wants to get there, but I'm not sure I'm ready. Alvin seriously how old were you when you made the decision to move ahead with Brittany? I'm so confused and have to keep on fighting the urge I get when she's in my room especially when Dave is home. Like Thursday night I had to run to my bathroom because when we made out the kisses became so intense and then my hand went inside her shirt and she ended up in her bra and umm. I was so scared when I realized that. Then we got into a fight and she didn't talk to me for the remainder of the night!"
Alvin got off his bed and looked in the hall to see that Simon was no where in sight. Then he looked by his door and sighed with relief he was talking to Jeanette on the phone in the kitchen. Dave looked and asked.
"Alvin what are you up to?"
He looked and said.
"Oh nothing; I'm just talking to Theodore about brotherly stuff. What time will lunch be ready again? Just come and get us when lunch is ready ok Dave."
Dave nodded his head.
"Ok Alvin and it's too early for lunch. Don't you mean breakfast?"
He looked and responded to his father.
"Yea that's what I meant to say. Sorry about that Dave."
He entered Theodore's room and said.
"Umm you remember the night I got stuck at practice and came in at 2am the next day?"
He looked and said.
"Yea I remember. How can I forget you hung up on me you meanie?"
He gulped and said.
"Well the night before we took it all the way. That's why I came in at 2am, and ended up getting grounded for an entire month. I was 14 Theo; not 17. That was the day Mr. Big Mouth had to go and open his mouth. That was our 2nd time, and I thought fast and cooled down before Dave came in my room. I made Brittany hop in a cold shower before dad came in and seen how sweaty she was. See me I can hide it, but not so much Brittany. Actually I've been doing that a lot lately, and should really stop. Anyway what I'm saying is get the room with Elle after prom and see what happens. Don't keep on fighting it; if you do then one of these days you'll completely lose it and end up hurting her! That happened to Mike and now his girl is afraid to be alone with him."
Theo looked puzzled.
"Yea but Dave told us to wait till we're married. Our religion tells us the same thing. Yet when I asked Dave he told me to try and avoid it as much as I can, unless we both want it to happen. Now you know why I wanted to talk to you. You seem to explain it better than our father. When you explain it I understand what you're trying to say, but when dad does I get so confused."
Alvin smiled and said.
"You get confused when dad tells you because he's old. Besides you know I have more than enough experience to give you advice. Actually listen to this when I tell you. If you feel it's heading in that direction; make sure it's also what your partner wants. Whatever you do not pressure her into it if she seems scared! It basically starts with the kissing and then it escalates to the point where it happens and it happens fast baby brother. Within seconds like a lightning bolt flashing in the sky!"
He looked and said.
"Oh wow that is real fast! Now I'm even more leery. I don't think I'm ready even though she is; but I'll see where it heads tonight. Oh here comes Dad let's drop the subject before he starts asking questions or starts accusing like usual! I wish he'd accuse Mr. Simon once in a while instead of you and me. Well mainly you what am I saying? Don't get offended you know I'm right?"
After the conversation with Theo he heard his cell ring and answered.
"Hey Brittany where are you now?"
She responded as the lady did her nails and said.
"We're at the mall getting our hair and nails done. What time are you 3 picking us up again? Oh yea and what are our plans after prom? I know what Elle and Theo's plans are, and who knows what Simon and Jeanette are up to? Especially after what they got caught doing a few months ago when we had our talent show and you were left in charge? Oh did you ever tell your father or did you keep your promise?"
He sighed and responded.
"Maybe we could walk along the boardwalk and then sit along the shore beneath the moonlight. Then we'll get a room on the beach. After that we'll see what happens or doesn't happen. I can ask Jake to use his limo to drop us off at my house so I can get my car. Then we also have two more options. We could also get a room at the same place as our prom. Then our final option is go chill with Jake and his date."
She looked and responded into her cell.
"I rather be with you alone after our prom. It's our Prom night Alvie; its' supposed to be romantic and being with Jake and his date won't be. Like I want to sit on the shore and watch them make love on the sand do you?"
He shook his head.
"No way; I'll just ask him to drop us off at my house and we'll go to the beach after the prom in my car. Remember I have no curfew tonight. Then we'll get a room on the beach and take it from there ok?"
She responded in her cell with a smile.
"Ok then we'll do that. I gotta go now Alvin; they're putting my hair under the blow dryer. See you at 7 love you Alvin!"
He also smiled as he responded.
"I wouldn't have it any other way princess. Now that we know our plans tonight I'm going to get the key to our room after I get off the phone with you. See you at 7 then love you Brittany bye now."
He hung up his cell and grabbed his car keys. Then he got in his car and drove toward the beach. When he got out of his car he put his shades on and entered the hotel to get their room. Several fans recognized him and he signed autographs. Then when the fans scattered he went to the desk and asked.
"Are there any rooms available that have an ocean view tonight?"
The guy at the desk looked and said.
"Oh Mr. Seville nice to see you here again? What time will you be checking in so I can see what we have available?"
He looked and thought for a second.
"Umm around 12:30am after our prom. Depending on what time I get through the traffic that is."
The guy looked through the computer and said.
"Oh yes we do have rooms with an ocean view available. Here you go Mr. Seville have a nice day and enjoy your prom."
He looked and said.
"Thank you I'll try to. Thanks again; have a nice day."
He put his shades back on and exited the hotel. Then he got in his car and drove back home placing the key in his jean pocket. When he pulled up Simon was on the porch waiting for him. Alvin got out of his car and glared.
"Oh what do you want Simon? Well I'm asking you a question? If you're going to ask me where I went then go on and ask me already? Are you forgetting whose the oldest here? "
Simon looked and asked.
"I may be younger than you, but I'm more responsible than you are. Where did you go without telling anyone; do you have any idea how worried Dave was. Now answer the question; where did you go Alvin?"
Alvin saw Dave and walked over to him.
"I had to do something before our prom. Sorry I didn't tell you, but I had to get there before a certain time. We don't have a curfew tonight do we?"
Dave smiled at his eldest and said.
"No I'm not giving you 3 a curfew Alvin. It's your Senior Prom no senior goes home after the prom I already know that. I was a senior in High School too well years ago and really don't remember what time I came home the day after. Oh I have to tell you something. I have a really important business meeting in town and won't be home till tomorrow morning. Please make sure you 3 have your key to get in, and enjoy your night. If any of your brothers do something I forbid under this roof I want you to take the responsibility and call me please Alvin. You're the eldest and I'm leaving you in charge tonight I am trusting you to do the right thing."
Simon didn't hear that part and already ran into his room to call Jeanette. Brittany heard her sister's cell ringing and looked.
"Aren't you going to answer it? It's Simon; well what are you waiting for? Hello are you paying attention to me at all? Exactly what are you trying to hide? JEANETTE!!"
Jeanette looked and asked.
"Oh me; what about you? Exactly what are you doing after prom? What afraid to tell me cause I know you and him are up to no good! Well"
Brittany glared and yelled.
"Oh really? Let me tell you what we're doing after prom. Alvin and I are getting a ride with Jake and picking up his car. Then we're going to walk along the beach! Then we're getting a room on the beach. Ok Ms. Know it all now say something to me if you dare. Now if you'd excuse me I have to get ready for the prom. You better not be up to anything young lady. Cause if you are then you'll get caught and I'm not sticking up for you again do I make myself clear?"
Brittany slammed her bedroom door and took her shower making sure her hair was covered. Then when she got out of her shower she put her gown on and put her lip gloss on. Then she sprayed her perfume on and put her shoes on. She descended from the stairs and grabbed her purse. Then she sat at the table and drank a glass of water. Eleanor was the next one to get ready and also took a shower. When she came out she called to Brittany.
"Brit can you please zip it up for me I'm having a hard time zipping it up."
Brittany carefully walked up the stairs and helped her with the zipper and helped her put the necklace Theodore gave her their 3rd year together around her neck and smiled.
"You really look amazing Elle. I can't believe it we're finally seniors and about to graduate from High School. Then we have to enter the real world and work to make money."
Eleanor looked and said.
"Umm Brit we do have a job already we're the Chipettes. So basically we're already in the real world. Wow I can't believe he bought you that gown it's so gorgeous and it looks so good on you. How'd you convince him to buy it for you? I wish I didn't have to buy my gown. You're so lucky to have a man buy your prom gown for you."
She looked and said.
"I didn't have enough for it so he bought it for me. Besides I bought his suit and the shoes. So I'm not really that lucky. I don't even have accessories to accent my gown at least you do."
Eleanor looked and said.
"Why do you care? Hello you're with the lead singer of the Chipmunks; do you really think people will care if you're wearing jewelry or not! All they'll see is you on Alvin's arm and will wish it was them. You have to chill Brittany; you're up for Prom Queen. You really have to cheer up seriously. Did you ever tell Ms. Miller about Jean and Simon a year ago?"
She shook her head.
"No I didn't and neither did Alvin. Even though I should especially after what she tried to do to me when all we were doing in his room was studying for our exams."
Eleanor looked at her and stared.
"You two were not studying in his room Brittany. Sorry to bust your bubble but Theo and I knew what you two were really doing. It wasn't Jeanette either it was Simon no one else. She was the one that went after him when he went and got Dave. So don't go yelling at her she was trying to cover both your butts for not telling on them."
Jeanette entered and said.
"Ladies we have a problem. Ms. Miller is taking us to the prom and I can't get any of the boys to tell them. What are we going to do; the night is already bad. How can she do this to us and not let us arrive at the prom with our men? Doesn't she trust us or no?"
Brittany shrugged.
"I have no idea Jean. Wow you really look amazing in that gown. You picked the right color too. Simon will be speechless when he sees you in that gown!"
She looked and said.
"No he won't he helped me pick it out because I was having a hard time choosing one. Actually he paid for my gown because I was like 50 dollars short and he felt bad. Wow I can't believe it finally we're going to our Senior Prom unlike some of the other young singers out there."
Eleanor looked and smiled.
"Oh yea you can say that again. Lucky for us too; come on ladies we have to go now Ms. Miller is calling. All we can do is continue to try and get the boys. We're in for a long night girls."
They all got in Ms. Miller's car and Brittany shook her head.
'Oh how embarrassing pulling up to our prom in our step mother's car! Can this night get any worse than it is? Oh no it just did. Please save me from this awful night Alvie!'
They exited the car and Jordin laughed.
"Oh Brittany I thought you 3 were going with the Chipmunks. Where are they? Oh I guess you 3 have been lying all year to us? We all know they have better things to do then show up at a prom!"
Just then the Chipmunk limo pulled up and Alvin looked at her.
"You were saying Jordin. Brit where are your sisters?"
She looked and said.
"Oh they're already inside. I have been embarrassed and there is nothing I can do to fix it! Our step mother had to drive us and make us look like idiots! We tried to call you boys and tell you but for some reason we just couldn't seem to get through. Alvin my life is officially over as of right now!"
He looked at her and smiled.
"How can you say that? I'm right here Brittany and we're here together. You're going to listen to those jealous fans when you know that you're my girl and have been for almost 9 years princess! Why do you pay attention to that garbage! Now before we make our grand entrance put out your wrist so I can put your corsage on. Then close your eyes and don't open them till I say ok?"
Simon and Theodore looked.
"We'll be inside waiting for you two. As soon as we find the girls that is! See you inside Alvin and Brittany. Oh we need the corsages for Elle and Jean."
Alvin entered the limo and took the corsages out. Then he handed it to his brothers and said.
"Go on inside we'll be right there. Get us a table away from the jealous girls that love to call the girls liars because we're with the Chipettes and not them. Oh no get a table across from them they'll see how wrong they are."
Brittany looked and said.
"Oh don't worry Jean already got our table across from Jordin and her posse. When Simon finds her she should be sitting down drinking some sparkling cider waiting for you 3. As for Elle she's probably at the refreshment table Theo. Oh I should tell you her ex won't leave her alone and calls her a liar when she tells him you're her man Theo. We'll see you inside we promise."
Alvin looked and said.
"Ok now close your eyes I have something to accent that sexy gown you're wearing. No opening them till I tell you to ok."
She closed her eyes and nodded her head. Then he moved her hair from her neck and put the necklace on and tightened the clasp. Then he put her hair back and placed the bracelet around her wrist. He put the box in her hand and said.
"Ok open your eyes now and look down."
She opened her eyes and seen the necklace shining in the spotlight above them. Then she embraced him tightly and placed a kiss on his lips. He smiled and said.
"I'll take that as a thank you."
She nodded her head and asked.
"Oh is there a mirror around so I can put the earrings on that match the rest of the set Alvin?"
He pointed to their limo and the chauffer opened the door for her and flipped open the mirror and flicked on the light. She sat in the back and took her pink earring out of her ears and put the ones on that matched the set he gave her. The chauffer approached him.
"Mr. Alvin would you like me to come back here to pick up you and Ms. Miller so you can go to your house and get your car? Neither of your brothers need my services tonight."
He looked and nodded.
"Yes I would. I didn't think about that. We'll see you at 12am then. Sometimes I forget I'm a rock star and have my own limo….just like my brothers."
She finished and exited the limo. Then she smiled at him and he took her arm as they approached the doors to the Signature Grand. When they entered everyone's eyes were fixed especially the girls.
"Oh she's so lucky to be with Alvin Seville. Why couldn't it be me?"
Jordin saw them enter together and crossed her arms by her chest. Brittany looked and grabbed him tighter.
"What's the matter Jordin cat got your tongue. I told you that Alvin from the Chipmunks was my man and my date for prom. See you tried to make me look like a fool and failed once again! Just like you're going to fail getting Prom Queen Ms. Hot Stuff! I'm the captain of the varsity Squad and the most popular girl in the senior class!"
Alvin pulled her.
"Brittany don't start trouble with your jealousy please! The whole school knows we're together chill will you! Just remember you're the only girl I love!"
She smiled and took his hand.
"Come on Alvin they're playing a slow song. Let's go join your brother and my sister Jeanette on the floor? Let's just hope they don't play one of our songs from our CD when they announce Prom King and Queen! I'll be so mad if they do; because then they'll ask us to sing and I really don't want to sing tonight. My throat is killing me because I've been yelling at my sister Jeanette all day trying to find out what her and Simon are doing after prom tonight. What about you any luck finding out what they're up to?"
He shook his head.
"Nope; but I'm in charge and was told if any of my brothers do anything Dave forbids under his roof I'm supposed to do the responsible thing and call him. Being the eldest really stinks sometimes I'll tell ya even if it's only by 5 minutes. Just be glad you're not in the same predicament as I am tonight. Let's just hope dear old Simon learned his lesson from the time I caught them in the act at your place. Enough about that let's go dance since it is a slow song for couples."
He took her hand and they went to the dance floor. Then she rested her head on his shoulder and he took her waist. She brushed his cheek and said.
"Every day that goes by I feel so lucky that we're together for such along time after all the drama we have to go through with our adoring fans. You'd think a young couple like us would've called it quits years ago. Now it's almost 9 years and we're still going strong. I love you so much Alvin."
He smiled and said.
"That makes the two of us! I love you too Brittany. We've been through a lot over the years and it has made our love grow stronger for one another and we're almost 18 and practically adults. Well I'm almost 18 and you're almost 17. The same age we were in that future Simon's machine showed us when we were just kids!"
