My Wild Unwanted Visitor

I was coming out of my apartment when I heard my neighbor calling, "Chippieee Chippieee!" She was putting nuts on her window sill calling the chipmunks. She was standing in her open window. A Chipmunk appeared, and scurried up the side of the building to her second story window, grab a nut, then back down. It never entered her open window. He repeated this several times.

Weeks later I was watching T.V. when I heard a noise. I noticed a shadow. "It has to be outside." I thought, but kept an eye on it. I saw my curtain move, and a chipmunk appear on the chair. Great, just great! If it had been a squirrel I might have screamed, and fled the apartment. But this cute little guy wasn't as scary. Still, I could feel my heart beating fast. I went over, and opened a window calling it trying to coax it out. It just looked at me. So I closed the window. I closed some doors in my apartment bathroom, closet, and such. Then I went into my bedroom to get dressed in a hurry since I was in my lingerie.

When I came out about 2 minutes later, I could no longer see the Chipmunk. I looked out my window and saw a chipmunk near my building, but thought it was his mate waiting for him. It couldn't be him, could it? He couldn't be that smart, and fast? I made a quick phone call to my neighbor who feed the Chipmunks. She said she would be right over. My neighbor had brought some nuts, and called the chipmunk as I opened a window wide. But no luck. I moved the sofa, but Chippie wasn't under it. Latter that day, I closed the gapes between my a/c and window with tape.

That day I kept my eyes open. I looked around for it. I also would turn down the T.V. and listen. No sight, or sound of the critter. Could it have made his exit when I went to get dressed? Was it that smart? Or was it hiding? I left my light on all night, and reluctantly went to bed. I had visions of a hairy thing cuddling up to me in the middle of the night, but that didn't happen. All was quiet, but I only slept 4 hours. It's been several days, and no chippie. I did see several outside afterwards. I hope that Chippie was super smart, and dashed out the same way he came in when I went to get dressed. Time will tell. I think? Here Chippieee!
