Spring is in the Air

Ch 2

"Championship Game and Spring Break Kickoff"

Brittany smiled and kissed him again. Then he smiled and heard the Coach's whistle blow.

"Seville practice can't start without the captain. Can you kiss Miller after the game please?"

Alvin sighed and ran to where the team waited. Bradley laughed.

"Hey captain you have lipstick on your mouth. That shade doesn't go with your skin. "

Alvin wiped it off and went with the team to go over the strategy for the game. Brittany sat on the bleachers with her sisters and watched the team practice. Jeanette fixed her ribbon and said.

"Nice to see you happy again. Isn't it wonderful? We get to spend Spring Break in St. Augustine, FL. So much culture and historic sites to see. Complete with a 5 star hotel room aren't you excited? Am I the only one who is interested in the historic city of Florida?"

Simon came up and kissed her.

"No Jeanie my precious so am I. Theo and Ellie are more interested in the food. As for your sister and my brother they won't be joining us. Instead Dave and Ms. Miller are allowing them to go to Miami without supervision. Alvin did extra chores to earn it. So that's why she's not answering you."

Theodore came and handed Simon his nachos and kissed Ellie on the cheek. She smiled and kissed him back. Then finally Dave and Ms. Miller joined them. The gym started to fill up as soon as practice ended for the team. Alvin fixed his cap and his jersey and signaled the team to the side as the band started to play. The team lined up and Brittany and her sisters joined the squad. Shana looked.

"Wow its good to see you happy again. Shall we break it down Captain?"

Brittany laughed.

"Alright ladies just as we rehearsed. On the count of 3 we break it down. 1, 2, and here we go!"

The announcer came on.

"Alright our home team the Eagles is led by Alvin Seville the 1st freshman captain to make it to finals, and on guard. Also on guard Bradley Morris, on forward we have Shaun Mason and Jayson Morris, and our center is Tyler Terrence also your co captain. Let's help our Eagles soar high."

The game started and Alvin took the ball from the visitors as he tried to make a jump shot. He blocked it and dribbled it down the court faking to the left and jumped up to attempt a jump shot. The ball went in and the score board changed Home 5 and Visitors 0. Bradley hi 5ed Alvin and the audience went crazy as the squad chanted.

"Make your eagles soar high. High in the sky! Spread your wings and ask for a win, win, let's go Eagles soar high we want a VICTORY!"

The game continued and the Eagles still led until 2 guards were on Jayson he ran with the ball dribbling looking for someone to be open. Seeing no one open he faked to the right and jumped up making a jump shot. After the ball went in one of the opponents slammed him into the pole. And the referee called a penalty. The coach ran over to where he hit his arm and realized he couldn't move it. Todd had to go in and Alvin got angry. Alvin took the ball as he called time out. Then as he went over the strategy he glared at Todd.

"I'm the captain not you now you do what I tell you cause if you don't you'll be the reason why we don't win. Do I make myself clear now get in here with the rest of the team and stop eyeing my woman! Since Jayson is out you have to take his position as a forward! Now if you see you're surrounded get out of there and try to shoot if you can't throw to one of us that is open! Alright Eagles hands in and let's finish this!"

The game continued and the Eagles stayed in the lead. The buzzer rang as Todd made the last shot to help them win the game. The cheerleaders went crazy and the team lifted Alvin up and also Todd. The announcer came on screaming.

"Your Eagles have clenched the title of state Champions with the freshman captain Alvin Seville the MVP. Congratulations. "

After the team put him down Brittany ran into his arms kissing him.

"Oh you did it Alvin. I'm so proud of you."

He handed Dave his trophy and embraced her tightly returning her approach. Ms. Miller just stared with her mouth dropped wide open. Dave just sighed.

"They're teenagers there is nothing wrong with the way they're kissing. Alright on second thought Alvin breathe already. ALVIIIN."

He let her go and smiled.

"Sorry Dave I got umm carried away. It was just a harmless kiss. We're done now and I am going home to get changed so I can take Brittany to the mall to get some clothes for Florida. We'll be in way before 11pm. Our flight leaves at 8am."

Simon just stared.

"Oh so he gets to stay home for another day alone when our flight leaves tonight at 10pm what is wrong with this picture? Dave are you paying attention to me? I thought I was the responsible one why all of a sudden do you trust him more than me?"

Brittany laughed.

"Since he watched you 2 by himself a few months ago and stayed out of trouble genius. Why else you think and besides he is the eldest! What it bothers you that much that you're gonna cry about it? Gee!"

Jeanette looked.

"Well he is right that's not fair. How come you 2 get to go to Miami without supervision and the 4 of us have to go with Ms. Miller and Dave?"

Dave answered.

"Because Alvin did extra chores for me so he could have a vacation with Brittany and besides he has proved to me he is actually responsible. Jeanette and Simon stop complaining or neither of you will go and stay home? Do I make myself clear Simon enough? Simon I said enough."

Alvin and Brittany got in his car and drove off toward his house behind Dave. Then they watched as Dave and the others got in the cab. Brittany followed Alvin inside and sat on the couch in the living room. He ran upstairs to his room to take a shower and thought about the 1st time he had discovered he was in love with Brittany. Then her reaction when he asked her to be his girl. Her smile played in his mind and how soft her lips felt when they touched for the 1st time. After his shower he got his jeans and a shirt on, and then his cell rang and he answered.

'Yo Brad its Alvin what's up? No we're not interested in going to your make out party. We're going shopping and then coming back here to get some sleep our flight leaves at 8am 2 morrow. NO you can't move it to my house. Now stop asking. I told you no the 1st time you asked and am telling you again. That is none of your business what level I'm at with Brittany. Goodbye Brad see you when we go back to school. I'm hanging up.'

Brittany went in her shower after he came out and he sat on the couch and relaxed. She finished her shower and came up behind him kissing him on the cheek and then he grabbed her and pushed her down to the couch and she giggled.

"Alvin what are you up to? I thought we were going to the mall? Alvin I'm serious. Now let me up."

He let her up and they got in his car and he drove toward the mall. As they drove Brittany put her hand in his lap and he grabbed it smiling.

"Just think tomorrow we'll be in Miami, FL no brothers or sisters driving us crazy. A 5 star hotel and all the attractions Florida has to offer. Brittany about earlier I'm sorry it's just lately my feelings for you have umm changed."

Brittany looked up.

"Changed in what way? Alvin what do you mean by that? Are you dumping me?"

Alvin sighed.

"No Britt of course not. It's just umm the stages I'm going through as a teenager. Umm like holding you in my arms the way we kiss when we're alone makes me want to ooh how am I going to tell you without you whacking me one?"

Brittany scratched her head in confusion.

"Ok you're confusing me. Why would I whack you one?"

When he was about to answer the song by Ciara and Justin came on and Brittany looked as he stared out of the window. Then she asked.

"Alvin what's the matter? I thought you liked this song. I know I do it's my fave Ciara song. We should do a version; I think we'll sound amazing the beat is hot."

He just sighed.

"Yes I still love the song but I don't think it's a good idea for us to do a version especially the way I've been feeling lately running into my bathroom every time we kiss in my room after we do our homework together! Britt do you have any idea what I'm trying to tell you or no? Brittany listen to the song and then think please. Don't make me say it you'll hit me and I won't blame you either."

She put the volume up and then realized what he was talking about. Then she gulped.

"Oh no you don't mean…you want to take it to the next level. But Alvin our religion you know we're dead set against it. Why all of a sudden? You told me you wanted to wait till marriage. Now you're telling me you want to I don't understand how you can even think about it we're teenagers and both know how much trouble we'll be in."

He looked.

"See told you. Now you understand why I don't want to do that song. Yes the beat is hot and we'll sound awesome but my hormones are not easy to control. I don't want to do anything to cause me to hurt you."

She sighed.

"Hurt me? You won't hurt me Alvin you have way more respect for me than to do such a thing to me. I mean yes I think about it but never thought we'd want to at such a young age even if we're chipmunks."

Alvin stared.

"Yes I know that Britt. But I'm just losing control of my hormones a little more each time you're in my room on your back. No matter how much I try to ignore the urge it's still there…and that's why I run to my bathroom. I don't know what to do anymore."

Brittany looked and put her hand on his shoulder as he parked the car.

"Alvin why didn't you just tell me if that's how you've been feeling? I'd understand and not whack you one. I was always wondering why all of a sudden in the middle of us making out you run to your bathroom without saying a word to me? Especially when my shirt slides off and I lay there in just my lingerie. I'm not good at guessing games and would give in to you if you just ask or tell me what is with you. Do you understand? Come on we have to get back to your place and get some sleep so we'll be all rested up for our trip to Miami."

His eyes lit up.

"Are you serious? Or are you just being nice to make me feel better? Well which is it? Brittany?"

She smiled as they got out of the car and walked to the entrance hand in hand. Hmm I need a few things but what first lingerie for bed or a few bikinis for Florida? Which do you think Alvin?"

Alvin looked and sighed.

"Whatever you want to get 1st. I'm buying aren't I? Make your decision Britt please?"

She looked at both stores and he shook his head.

"I'm assuming this is going to take a while. If you don't mind I'll sit."

She grabbed his arm.

"No I think lingerie first. Don't you Alvin and you can help me pick out the sexiest pair too? Since you're the man and I'm just the woman."

Alvin sighed.

"Me in Victoria's Secret? Have you completely lost your mind? Here take my wallet I will not set foot in that store of lady items. "

She dragged him inside.

"I told you no Brittany let me go this is not a place for men to be. Brittany I said let go of my arm I'm not going in there."

He spotted Bradley.

"Now I'm definitely not going in that store. Let me go right this instant Brittany!"

Bradley spotted Alvin trying to leave the store though Brittany held onto his hood on his sweatshirt.

"Yo bro what's up? Can you believe these hot items? Oh can you excuse me for a second my woman calls. Coming baby girl…….make sure its something easily taken off! See you later bro."

Alvin cringed.

"Ill and he says it out loud to. Oh thank you so very much now I'm going to be the laughing stock of the school when we get back from Spring Break! Brittany where did you get to"

Shaun looked.

"Oh bro youre making a big deal out of nothing. Be glad she dragged you in to model for. That's the fun part is to watch as she tries it on and asks your opinion."

Bradley shook his head as Rachel entered the dressing room.

"Oh no the fun part is taking it off before getting busy right Shaun my man. Hey where'd Alvin go? Are you sure he's not umm crooked? He isn't even waiting by the dressing room where Brittany just went in. What is wrong with him?"

Alvin heard that remark and stormed over to where Bradley stood.

"Say that one more time and you won't be able to take anything off of your woman cause I'll hurt you! I am not gay you idiot…..and another thing Chipmunks have a keen sense of hearing and smelling that's why I heard it all the way from where I was sitting. Now shut your mouth and stop making fun of me cause I'm not a sexaholic like you are bro!"

Shaun laughed.

"Whoa I'm walking away before you get hurt Brad. He is not in the mood for jokes obviously. See you when you get back from Florida bro. Coming Kim."

Alvin just walked away.

"Yea Shaun I'll tell you bout it when we get back. Brittany where did you get to hello boyfriend talking here."

She called from the dressing room.

"Right here Alvin…by the pink dressing room. Sorry I didn't tell you but didn't want to interrupt you about to pound Bradley. So did you shut him up or did Shaun?"

Alvin laughed.

"We both did….its alright I'm right by the door if you need me."

Brittany laughed.

"Need you to do what exactly Alvin? All I need you to do is help me choose. Can you handle that or is it too much?"

Alvin responded.

"I can handle you can't I? Why would helping choose be too much for me to handle well?"

She laughed and exited the dressing room.

"What do you think of this one for our 1st night in Florida? Its red and that happens to be your favorite color and also signifies heat and desire? Well should I get it or not?"

His mouth dropped.

"Umm you really look hot in red yes get it and wear it the 1st night we arrive in Florida. Ok Britt can you umm go change it's getting hot in here can you excuse me! I need a drink of ice water!"

She smiled and entered the dressing room to try on a few more and Alvin flew from the shop to a vending machine and bought a Zephyrhills water and gulped it down wiping the sweat from beneath his cap. Then he walked back to the store and saw Brittany by the register. He handed her a $100 bill and she paid for her stuff. Then she looked.

"Alvin are you alright? Your shirt is all wet? Is that sweat or did you spill water on yourself?"

He looked.

"Oh I spilled my water when I opened it. Why you want a sip?"

She smiled and he wiped off the top and handed it to her. She took it from him and took a few sips. Then he put his change back in his wallet and put his wallet in his front pocket. She grabbed his waist after she handed him the water and smiled.

"Oh thank you Alvin; now off to bikinis. I'll need a few."

He sighed.

"Yes I figured that babe. After we're done shopping we'll get a bite to eat at the food court and head back to my place to get some sleep so we'll be refreshed tomorrow morning for our flight to Florida."

She smiled as they entered the bathing suit shop and bought 5 more bikinis. Then after Alvin paid for them he bought some food at the food court for them both. After they were finished eating they drove back to his place and he took Willy out while Brittany changed for bed and headed to his room. After Willy was done for the night Alvin crept upstairs to his room and saw Brittany fast asleep on the opposite side of his bed. He entered his bathroom and got ready for bed. Then he set the alarm, brushed his teeth, and put both his and Brittany's phones on their chargers. He got in the bed next to her and held her close as she shifted her head from his pillow to his chest and he stroked her forehead curled himself up in a ball slept at the bottom of Alvin's bed as he eventually drifted off to sleep after he kissed Brittany's forehead.

"Goodnight Brittany I love you babe see you in the morning."

She opened her eyes and smiled at him as she felt his tight embrace.

"Goodnight Alvin I love you to. See you in the morning."
