Chapter 11 - A Night to Remember: Part 2

A/N: This is Part 2 of the Big Night. I just want to say thank you so much for your reviews, and your criticism. Wow, I know nobody likes criticism, but it's a good thing you know. It improves your writing stamina and makes you feel a little bit better.

Also, I am soooo sorry for not uploading in a long time, my computer was down for a while and I kind of lost track of writing as well, and (Senioritis has now begun! I got my application letter from CBU (Cal St. Baptist) today!). Btw, thank you for your patience and I hope you enjoy this chapter.

On the ride home, Jake and Brittany were silent, still thinking about their little 'moment' back at the club. Trying her best to not make a fool of herself, Brittany decided to start a simple conversation with Jake.

"So… where did you learn to dance like that?"

"Oh, bauck in Australia, my father taught me all of these different techniques to be strong and wise. He taught me how to hauve perfect baulance and reflexes, eh, stuff lyke thaut".

Brittany giggled a little, and then asked him…

"Whatever happened to your father?" Jake stood silent and still kept his focus on driving.

"It's a… very, very long story. I tell it to you some otha tyme".

Both of them stayed silent again and then Jake decided to start another conversation.

"Did you lyke the Jauzz Club?"

"Hmm? Oh, yeah! It was great. I love jazz, and it's been a while too".

"Oh thaut's right! You, Aulvin, his brothers and your sisters were aull in the Jazz Band in High School. Let me tell you, Aulvin's guitar solos were aulways, how you Americans' say… wicked!"

"Yeah, same old Alvin", replied Brittany.

Both of them shared a hearty laugh and then it got silent again. Jake didn't want to disappoint Brittany with his words, but it was something that has been on his mind since the 'day'. He spoke softly and used small, but simple words.

"Brittany, may I ausk you something?"

"Shoot", said Brittany staring out the window as they just passed the Hollywood sign.

"Whaut, (clears throat), exactly waus the laust thing Aulvin… you know… did or said to you? Hehe".

Brittany's eyes shot open as she tries to remember the day of the cruise's departure for Catalina Island. -

(FLASHBACK)

"SEVILLE! IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR FURRY BEHIND UP THIS BOAT RIGHT NOW, WE'RE LEAVING WITHOUT YOU!!" yelled a very stern Coach Howland.

Alvin immediately broke the kiss then whispered into Brittany's ear.

"I've got something really special in store for you when I return".

He then quickly pecked Brittany's cheek and made his way up the stairs and into the boat. Brittany was now more than willing to know what Alvin's 'special' surprise was.

"GOODBYE EVERYONE!! I'LL MISS YOU ALL!!" Alvin yelled from the top of his lungs and also waved farewell. He was also crying

(END OF FLASHBACK)

Brittany's mind was clear again as she briefly and slowly explains to Jake Alvin's 'final' words to her.

"The… last thing he said to me, was that he had something… something… special in store for me", she finished.

Jake was overwhelmed, yet a little sad at what she had explained.

"I don't know", continued Brittany, "it could've been something like a new car, an expensive dress, or maybe even… a mansion in Beverly (Hills). You know, he could, err, could've afforded all of that stuff, but I guess what's done is done yuou know, (Sigh) but maybe it could've been more than any of that stuff. I would've like to known".

She was staring to get a little emotional now. Jake caringly placed his hand over hers and looked at her with compassion.

"I'm sure whautever it waus, you would've been one very happy and lucky individual to have someone as devoted and caring like him".

Brittany couldn't help but smile at his words and came to her senses once again. They remained silent the rest of the ride.

They finally arrived at the Miller Estate. Jake pulls up to Brittany's driveway and parks the Bentley next to her Pontiac. He sighs for a moment and brings up a very unusual question. He taps his fingers on the steering wheel and begins looking at her.

"Brittany…"

"Yes, Jake", she said also looking him in the eyes.

"… How would you feel… if we staurted dating?" finished Jake who also swallowed hard.

Brittany was speechless. She kept thinking if this little get-together was going to turn into more than just a strong friendship. She did feel a connection when they were dancing and was scared stiff to even mention it to anybody. She liked Jake a lot and can't take having to hurt his pride, no more than his feelings, but she loved Alvin so much to even die for him. She wouldn't die for Jake but can probably take a punch in the face for him. She didn't like to make him feel discouraged; however, she also feels that now is not the time to start another relationship after having one sink to the bottom of the sea.

Jake still stood there waiting patiently for a reply. Brittany looked up, then down, then back at him and finally spoke.

"Jake… you are a really nice guy, and I will always treasure this dat.., dance, that we shared, just you and me, tonight".

That brought a smile to Jake's face, until…

"But, I'm just not ready to make another commitment to anyone yet, not just you, anybody. Don't get me wrong Jake, you're always there to put a smile on my face when I need it, and I just love your charisma and honesty. Point is... I like you a lot Jake…" she placed her hand on his face, "...as a friend".

Jake stood there in silence. He felt like his heart was shattered into a million pieces and then scattered everywhere.

"Only a friend?" asked Jake.

"That's all it can ever be", finished Brittany while nodding her head slowly. She, too, felt like she ripped his heart out.

Jake bit his lip for a moment.

"I, understaund. I shouldn't make you rush these things. Any-who…. May I, still walk you to your door?"

"Of course, silly!" giggled Brittany.

Jake couldn't help but giggle back. He unbuckled himself, opened Brittany's door, helped her out and escorted her to her front door.

"Well, I haud fun. We should do it again, this time with everybody!" said Jake.

"Yes, yes we should", replied Brittany who was now digging through her purse for her house key. It was the middle of the night and she didn't want to wake Miss Miller.

"Now where is that damn thing?" said Brittany still looking through her purse.

She became sidetracked when all of a sudden… she tripped on a pebble. Her high-heels made it difficult for her to keep her balance. Jake quickly swooshed in and caught her by her waist and back.

"Gee, thanks Jake", said Brittany.

"Anytime!" Both of them started into each other's eyes and had a feeling of butterflies in their stomachs.

They would be lost and could've sworn that music was playing in the background. Brittany tried her best to just 'go-with-the-flow' but couldn't help herself from Jake's big brown eyes. Jake tried his best not to do anything unusual but couldn't help himself from Brittany's beautiful ice-blue eyes and soft skin. Both of their emotions and lusts would take them over, as they still held each other. Jake would be lost in Brittany's sweet scent and Brittany in his.

Suddenly, they approached each other and shut their eyes very slowly. Then… their lips touched. They would be frozen in the moment for a while, Jake's arms wrapped around her waist and Brittany's wrapped around his neck.

They finally halted and looked at each other… smiling. They released each other and Brittany continued searching for her house key. She had found it in her purse's other pocket. She unlocked her door, went inside and stood at her door facing Jake.

"Good night… my sweet knight", Brittany said with a seductive smile on.

"Pleasant dreams… my queen", Jake answered back.

He stood there until Brittany slowly closed her front door. Jake couldn't help but smile and be in a daze, as he was glad to not only see Brittany happy once again, but to actually… kiss her. He whistled to himself back to the Bentley, when he spotted Theodore next door lifting some heavy boxes and placing them in the Seville storage house.

"Theodore my good munk!" yelled Jake who was still in the Miller's yard, "whaut are you doing this late at nyte".

"Hiya Jake! Just taking out some boxes which are so… dang… heavy!" Theodore yelled, having trouble lifting the heavy boxes.

Jake came to his aid as he quickly took the box from him.

"Thanks Jake! I owe ya one".

"Anytime, my friend", finished Jake. He took a look at the box and couldn't believe what it read.

"Theodore, why does this box say 'AULVIN'S (ALVIN'S) STUFF'"? Jake asked very sternly.

"We're, kinda packing all of his old clothes and things and decinding to donate them to the secondhand store", Theodore replied.

"Why on earth would you do thaut? Aulvin's goods should be very near and dear to you", Jake saw his old red cap in the box and took it out, "including his signature caup".

"Well, since Alvin's… no longer with us… we don't need anything from his that will just make us feel uneasy again. I know it's hard, but we loved Alvin so much, and all of his old things would just make us miss him even more".

Jake couldn't argue as he saw the look in Theo's face, as he could still feel a sense of shock in him. Theodore took the cap from him and placed it on his head.

"I always wanted to wear his cap", said Thedore starting to get a little teary-eyed.

"Well, I suppose you're right", said Jake.

"You can help us bring out the rest of his stuff, if you want to that is".

"Very well then", Jake said as they both made it inside.

Inside, Dave sat on his recliner watching the news and Simon was in the kitchen studying for his mid-term. As Jake and Theo made it inside, Dave was a little surprised to see Jake.

"Jake!? Well this is a pleasant surprise".

"'Ello Mista Seville, Simon".

"Evening Jake. I believe your date with Brittany went well", said Simon.

"Oh, it was eva so wonderful. She's quite a dancer you know".

"What brings you here then?" asked Dave.

"Jake wants to help take out the rest of Alvin's things", replied Theodore, still wearing Alvin's cap and pointing at it, "I wanna keep this though".

"Ok Theodore, take your time upstairs you two", said Dave.

With that said, Jake and Theodore both made it up to Alvin's room. They would spend about two hours taking out the rest of his clothes, stacking and folding them neatly into the boxes, taking out all of his furniture, his posters on his wall, his computer, stereo system and television, and by the time they were finished, the room was almost completely empty, as the last things to go were his memorabilia.

"Well, I think that's about everything", said Theodore.

"Boy, I sure am going to miss hanging out in this room", included Jake, as he spotted Alvin's old pair of Air Jordan's in which he had worn in the championship game.

"Whaut about these joeys?" he said.

"Well, Dave and Simon don't want 'em, and they're too small for me. So, I guess you can have them".

"Really? Gee, thaunk you Theodore".

"No prob".

"Theodore, can you please tell me if this milk is bad!?" yelled Dave from downstairs.

"Coming Dave! I'll be right back", said Theodore.

"Take your tyme", replied Jake as he continued to look at the sneakers.

"Aulvin waus quite a player" he said. Not knowing what else to do, he decided to try the sneakers on for himself. He put the left shoe on first. It fit him perfectly.

"Wow! Perfect fit", he said. As he put the other shoe on, he felt something in the shoe.

"'Ello, whaut do we hauve here". He reached his hand inside the shoe to see what the thing was. His eyes shot open at what he retrieved. I was a ring box.

"A ring box?" he said as he decided to open it to what was inside.

Not only was there a shiny, 7-karat, 25,000 dollar gold engagement ring in there, but there was also a note... from Alvin.

Jake picked up the note and read it aloud.

TO MY DEAR BRITTANY

THE ONE I LOVE MOST

I TREASURE THE MOMENTS

WHEN I HOLD YOU SO CLOSE

YOU MIGHT BE ASKING

IF THIS THIS A DREAM

IT'S AS REAL AS OUR LOVE

IN WHICH WE MAKE THE PERFECT TEAM

NEVER CAN GO WITHOUT YOU

FOR MORE THAN A DAY

ONLY THING I WONDER IS

IF I'LL SEE YOU TODAY

MY BEST FRIEND, MY TEAMMATE

THE LOVE OF MY LIFE

LET ME PUT THIS ROCK ON YOUR FINGER

AND ASK YOU 'WILL YOU BE MY WIFE?'

Jake was crying when he read the letter, as it was written so sweetly and in cursive. Suddenly... it hit him as his eyes shot wide open.

(FLASHBACK)

Brittany's mind was clear again as she briefly and slowly explains to Jake Alvin's 'final' words to her.

"The… last thing he said to me, was that he had something… something… special in store for me", she finished.

Jake was overwhelmed, yet a little sad at what she had explained.

(END OF FLASHBACK)

The thought of what Brittany said to him back on the drive echoed in his mind over and over like someone pressed the repeat button.

He looked at the letter and the ring again and thought to himself.

"WILL YOU BE MY WYFE... AND SOMETHING SPECIAL? Hmm". He thought more and more for an answer. After three minutes... he got one.

"OH... SNAPPPSSSS!!"

He closed the ring box, took the shoes, stormed downstairs and made it to the front door.

"Leaving so soon Jake?" said Simon.

"Pardon my behaviour, but something came up... and I must be on my way".

"OK, thanks for all your help Jake", said Theodore.

"Yes... of course... hauve a pleasant nyte", he said as he opened the front door and stormed to the Bentley. He quickly drove off.

"Wow", Theodore said standing at the front door, "He looked like he was in a hurry".

Jake kept thinking about everything he experienced tonight, from taking Brittany to dinner, dancing with her, kissing her, helping Theodore, and what he discovered while helping him. He had no idea Alvin was going to propose to her as soon as he got back from his trip, but seeing as he's gone forever, he feels really bad that that will never happen.

He finally makes it to Vinny's treehouse in the forest, pulls up and storms inside into his room.

"Jake, you're home, and how was everything?" asked Vinny while washing dishes.

"Splendid, just eva so heavenly", said Jake from his room who was also getting undressed into his nighttime attire.

"How wonderful. Did you know Allie's coming back tomorrow".

"Really!? I hauven't seen her since laust year! Listen, I'm heading straight to bed. I've hauve a really, really interesting nyte, if ya know whaut I mean".

"Ok, good night Jake", said Vinny.

Jake couldn't go to sleep. He kept thinking about tonight and how it felt.

Kissing Brittany felt so good to him, and thought if this could be the start of something wonderful. On the other hand, Alvin was going to propose to Brittany, and now that he's gone and looking down at him, he feels like he could be doing something terrible as well.

Suddenly, he got out of bed, grabbed the ring box and took out the ring. It still shone in the dark. He felt like throwing the ring away, but what difference would that make, and he felt like keeping the ring, but he felt like that would be wrong. He didn't know what to do as he ws getting a headache just thinking about what he experienced tonight.

Without thinking, he put the ring back in the box and put the box under his bed, hoping Vinny wouldn't find it and hoping that someday... he'd tell Brittany what her 'surprise' from Alvin was going to be. He rubbed his forehead, and went to sleep.

In his mind... he loved and loathed what he experienced tonight.

There you have it, Chapter 11. I hope you like it and please keep your criticism on the DL (down low).

P.S. - If you don't know who Allie is, she was Vinny's housesitter from the episode "A Chipmunk Reunion" that looked somewhat like a badger, I still don't know what she is.
