Spring Is in the Air

Ch 3

"Spring Break Kickoff pt2"

The next morning Brittany was the 1st one up and took Willy out while Alvin still slept. After Willy was done using the bathroom she took him in to see Alvin by the stove making breakfast for them both. She smiled and kissed him on the cheek.

"Good morning Alvin that smells good. I took Willy out already. So what time does our flight leave again?"

He looked up and handed her the plate.

"9:30am; after we eat I'm going to arm the house alarm. Then Jay's older brother is picking us up to take us to the airport. They are also dog sitting for us while we're away. "

They ate their breakfast and Alvin washed the dishes while Brittany cleaned off the table and wiped it down. When they finished straightening up Alvin picked up Willy and he put the code in to arm the house alarm. Justin pulled up and they got in the car. Then he looked and asked.

"So how come you and Britt are going on a separate vacation than the others?"

Alvin sighed.

"Oh so we can be away from our younger brothers and sisters. I love my brothers but they can also be annoying; especially when Britt is over."

Brittany nodded.

"Yes and my sisters drive me crazy when Alvin is over. So I'm glad our parents trust us. I mean we are the eldest."

Justin pulled up to the airport and Willy kissed Alvin and Brittany as they got out of the car. Alvin smiled as Brittany grabbed his waist.

"Thanks Justin see you when we get back. Have a Happy Easter I know we will."

They went through the checkpoint and waited until it was time to board the flight. While they waited Brittany rested her head on Alvin's shoulder and he put his arm behind her head. He spotted a group of fans reading the teen magazine with him, Simon, and Theodore on the cover and turned his hat backward so he didn't get spotted. Brittany looked up and noticed the cover and sighed. Then they were able to board their flight to Florida.

When they arrived at the airport he grabbed their luggage and packed up the trunk of the rental car. He pulled our carefully and Brittany played with the radio as he drove toward their hotel.

The Chipettes latest song came on and she put the volume up as she sang along to it. He smiled at her and listened as she sang along.

"I thought I was bad. You're just as bad as me when I hear one of our songs on the radio I told you it would be a hit even if it can't seem to pass the #2 spot right under us. I am the best."

She rolled her eyes and looked out of the window. As he drove toward the hotel it began to rain and Brittany shook her head.

"Are you serious? Our 1st day here we are stuck in our hotel room? This is not happening to us!! Alvin look out the window its pouring! Not a good way to start off our Spring Break away from our sisters and brothers."

He looked and stared at her.

"Britt will you please relax….the rest of the week will be better! The forecast said Thunder Storms in Florida this morning and the rest of the week sunny and clear. Come on then let's go see our hotel room complete with a view of the ocean."

She sighed as he signed the paper and she signed right under his name. Then he took her hand as they followed the bell hop to the room. Before the bell hop left he turned.

"Mr. Seville or Ms. Miller feel free to call up front for room service and please enjoy your stay at our fine hotel. Have a good day."

Alvin looked and smiled as he handed him a 10 dollar bill as a tip.

"Thank you and we will have a nice day."

The bell boy left the hotel room and Alvin closed the door and put the lock on. Then he saw Brittany by the window looking out disgusted. He sighed and went up behind her and moved her long auburn hair from her shoulder. Then he cracked his knuckles and started to massage her shoulders. She sighed and smiled.

"Ooh that feels nice Alvin darling, but I still hate this lousy weather. The view is so nice from our room to with the waves crashing against the shore. We should be out on the beach lying in the sand catching some rays and me watching you surf. But instead we're stuck in this room watchin the rain pour down. "

Alvin sighed.

"Britt maybe we're stuck inside but without our younger brothers and sisters. We're together that's all that matters to me. Can you at least try to cheer up a little; we're on vacation. Britt please for me. When I see you upset like this I also get upset. Brittany!"

She looked and turned toward him.

"Alvin I'm sorry; I didn't mean to get you upset. I guess I'm just glad we're finally on a vacation without supervision after you proved to Dave you're the responsible one not just Simon. I guess not being able to enjoy the tourist attractions that draw people to this state upsets me. But you are right we are together so I shouldn't be upset."

He smiled and gazed into her ice blue eyes.

"Yes I know the weather sucks right now but like I told you the weather will get better I promise. Can you at least smile when you're in my arms?"

She cracked a smile and kissed him on the lips and he smiled back.

"That's better now I'm not so upset. At least you're smiling."

She giggled.

"Alvin how can I not be happy having a good looking guy like you to hold me in his arms when all his fans can only dream. Not every girl is as lucky as I am right now. Can we get some room service I'm a little hungry and need to get out of these wet clothes from all that rain and you should change to the last thing we need is for you to get sick again."

He laughed.

"You go get changed first and I'll order room service. Then I'll change after you. You're more likely to get sick than I am Britt! Besides I have to check in with my father to let him know we arrived safely."

She smiled and kissed him again. Then she went in her suitcase and took out her jean shorts and a tank top. He watched as she entered the bathroom and dialed Dave's cell.

'Yes dad we arrived safely. How is umm St. Augustine? Miami is not so nice it's pouring and we're stuck in the room. '

Dave sighed.

'It's alright Simon and Jeanette went to the museum with Ms. Miller and dragged Eleanor and Theodore along. I'm in my room going over a few songs I wrote for you 3 for the Squekual. I know you're 16 Alvin, but you're still my son and I want you to check in with me and behave! Don't make me regret letting you and Brittany have a separate vacation! Do I make myself clear young man?'

Alvin sighed.

'Yes Dave crystal clear. I'm going to hang up right now it's starting to lightning; and our room is facing the ocean. I'll talk to you later Alvin out.'

He hung up his cell and shut it off. Then he ordered room service and clicked on the TV. Brittany exited the bathroom and took the remote from him. Then she watched as he went in his suitcase to get dry clothes. As the door closed she sighed and put the guide up to see if there was a movie they could both watch while the rain continued to pour down! Her cell rang and it was Eleanor.

'Hey Ellie wuz^ with you? Oh man I can hear Theodore complaining that he's hungry. You must really be bored to be calling me; it's no better here it's pouring and we're stuck inside watching cable. No of course not he's catholic and completely against that even if it happens to be mating season. What about you and Theo any thing out of the ordinary happened yet? Are you serious not even a French kiss yet? Ellie you two are together a long time and still haven't frenched? What about Simon and Jeanie? Boring like usual; Ellie now that's just mean! It can't be that bad you have to be over exaggerating!'

She sighed.

'Yes I know that Britt but that kind of kiss usually ends up on the bed! I'm too scared to even suggest it I mean they are 16. We're only 15 aren't we a little too young?'

Alvin exited the bathroom and looked.

'Who are you talking to? Oh hey Ellie how's St. Augustine? So we're 16 what is your sister's problem? Oh I see now…well Theo is kind of umm shy she has to tell him he's not that bright.'

Theodore overheard.

'Oh and neither are you Mr. Macho. While you're in Miami basking in the sun we're stuck in St. Augustine bored out of our minds with these boring trips with our big brained brother and Ellie's big brained sister! Not fun at all if you ask me! Besides you have the stupid media saying that both groups have broken up cause you and Brittany aren't with us!! Oh yes a field day not!! Go on click on ET they'll bring it up and you'll also see Dave's interview with the anchorman trying to put the rumor to rest!'

Alvin took the remote from Brittany and clicked on ET and he saw the report.

"What we haven't broken up! Yes you tell him Dave they have their nerve I swear look at this Britt! Theo isn't kidding! Just because we're not with them they assume we have broken up; ooh I really hate the media I swear! Look at this Theodore is even telling the photographer that they are only on vacation! Wow I never knew he had it in him. Whoa check out your baby sister Ellie talk about tough! Of course Simon just walks away with Jeanette! Ooh they are so lucky you and I aren't with them! I'd be telling them off and so would you! Alright the report is over is there a movie on we can watch? Ooh this weather is sickening!'

Brittany saw a bolt of lightning come in the window and gulped.

'Oh man that was too close. Ellie I have to hang up now it's getting really bad out here! I'll call you later and try to enjoy the rest of your vacation and talk to Theodore and make him understand why you back away every time he tries to french you! Love you sis Brittany out!'

She hung up her cell and turned it off then she heard a knock on the door and answered.

"Yes can I help you? Oh why thank you we really appreciate it! What no I will not go on a date with you. I'm not here alone you know; and no we didn't break up! If you'll watch ET you'll see the interview with our manager and Alvin's father David Seville! Who else you think I'm here with?"

Alvin looked by the door and heard Brittany arguing with the guy. Then he walked over to the door and glared.

"Exactly what do you think you're doing? Who else would she be here with? Well what are you waiting for? You bought the food now do us both a favor and stop hitting on Brittany. She is with me and no none of our groups broke up we're just on Spring Break now scram before I report you to the manager! I said scram and put that camera away we're on vacation no publicity!"

He gulped.

"I'm so sorry Alvin I only wanted a picture of you and Brittany together for my scrap book. You are my favorite chipmunk and Brittany has always been my favorite Chipette! Please just once let me take a picture to add to my scrap book all about the Chipmunks and Chipettes!"

Alvin looked.

"I don't think so buddy! I've seen it all you're gonna takeourpicture and then cut me out of it and put yourself in it and tell people you're dating Brittany! Besides we're on vacation no pictures have a nice day bye now! Here's a $20 tip for you to go buy a picture of Brittany and put it in your scrapbook!"

After Alvin pulled the cart inside the room Brittany laughed.

"Alvin that was really mean but actually funny! I guess one of the qualities I fell in love with is your bad boy image! Besides that attitude of yours; you are out spoken when I get messed with how fast you're ready to fight them! Hmm why do they call you a bad boy anyway? You don't seem like one well to me; even if you're always getting yourself into trouble either at school or with your father!"

Alvin smiled slyly.

"Oh really what is a bad boy to you Ms. Bad girl of The Chipettes? Well I'm waiting."

She smiled and gazed into his midnight blue eyes as the rain got heavier and the lightning lit up their hotel room.

"Hmm I don't know you just don't seem the type to be a bad boy in my eyes."

He smiled and gazed into her ice blue eyes.

"Cause nobody is gonnamakea fool of me and make moves on my woman while I'm around. "

Then he wrapped his arms around her and started to kiss her and he felt her hands moving inside his shirt and back out again as they continued to make out with the lightning making their hotel room glow. Then she just smiled as they broke apart. He walked over to the cart and ate the food while he watched TV and then she sat next to him and also ate. When they were finished eating he put his pillow up and lay back watching the movie and she joined him resting her head on his chest while he stroked her forehead gently. Brittany sighed and wrapped her arms around him.

"Oh Alvin it is so good to be away from everyone! Just you and I in a moment like this watching a movie snuggled up to you like this! Me lying next to you as you hold me close and make me feel a sense of security I've never felt before! Me in your arms like this makes me feel so safe that I can…..she yawned and eventually fell asleep on him. He looked down and asked.

"Britt make you feel safe so you can what? Britt hello are you going to answer me Brittany?"

He looked down and saw her fast asleep on him and put the covers over them both holding his cross as his body began to heat up.

'No please not again. I am not going to give in she isn't secure enough to allow us to advance. Help me fight the temptation so I don't hurt her she means to much to me to put pressure on her! When she's ready I will know until then I am not going to give in to this urge!'

The urge finally subsided and he shut the TV off and held her close as he put the pillow back down and fell asleep holding Brittany in his arms. Brittany woke up and looked where his arms were and smiled. But then she felt how hot his body was and gulped. She carefully used her hand and felt his head to see if maybe he was getting sick but all she wiped off was sweat! She quietly got out of the bed and got ready for bed also feeling how hot her body was and gulped.

'Here we go again! Not now when we're alone in this hotel room while its storming outside! First Alvin and now me why is this happening to us? Why all of a sudden am I all heated up when I fall asleep on his chest or why is he like this now? All the time we've been together none of us have gotten like this; but now all of a sudden its becoming a habit! What can I do to prevent myself from setting him off especially him being 16 and at the peak of his changes! Not only will Dave know but so will Ms. Miller and we'll end up grounded! Maybe it's in my mind….what to do? I can't not sleep with him and sleep on the couch he'll know something is wrong and wanna know what it is! I just don't know anymore!'

Alvin woke up and looked on the side where Brittany slept and didn't see her. Then he looked at the bathroom door and saw the light on still seeing the lightning flashing through their window. He walked over to the bathroom door and knocked.

"Britt are you alright in there? Brittany what's the matter and why is the sink running? Brittany? Are you going to open the door? Brittany?"

He looked on the floor and saw the book Brittany was reading. Then he read the title.

'How a girl knows when the time is right? The signs to look for to know when you're ready to explore intimacy in a relationship? What the body sends to your brain. How do you know he's the right one? The signs to look for.'

He read it and sighed to see the chapter she was on and looked at the bathroom door still closed. He heard the door knob turn and put it back on the floor where he found it. She exited the bathroom.

"Oh sorry Alvin I didn't mean to take so long. The bathroom is free now you can get ready for bed I'm going back to sleep. "

She waited until the bathroom door closed and picked up her book from the floor and walked over to the bed and put it away in her drawer on the side she slept on. While he was in the bathroom she looked on the side where he slept and noticed the sweat stain and also felt the pillow. She heard the bathroom door knob turn and shut the light off pretending she had fallen back to sleep.

He exited the bathroom and got in the bed and looked at Brittany's side of the bed and saw her eyes closed. He shook his head and got under the covers next to her and drifted off to sleep because he was still tired. She opened her eyes and looked where his side was and shook him.

"Alvin are you asleep? Alvin do I at least get a goodnight kiss? Alvin aren't you going to kiss me goodnight?"

When he didn't budge she opened her book and read.

'If your partner doesn't kiss you that often then intimacy is nowhere in your relationship give it more time.'

Being upset she closed her book and put it away in the drawer turned away from Alvin and falls asleep. He opens his eyes and turns around to see Brittany asleep and puts the comforter over her and kisses her on the cheek.

"Goodnight Britt I love you. See you in the morning. You want affection that's all you had to ask instead of turning to some stupid book that has nothing to do with us. Now you'll see if we're ready to have an intimate relationship or not and you will be surprised mark my words."

He wrapped his arms around her and drifted off to sleep. Brittany felt his arms around her and smiled as she snuggled up to him and closed her eyes falling asleep once again feeling secure as it continued to storm outside.
