A/N: I extended Chapter 3, Bombarded, by more than double, so make sure you read it before you read this!
"Bella! Telephone!" Charlie called loudly, even though I was in the next room.
I quickly walked to the kitchen and took the phone out of his hand, whispering a thanks before putting the phone to my ear.
"Hello?"
"Bella!" Alice said excitedly. I almost groaned. "Edward got home about fifteen minutes ago. Tell me how it all went!"
"It's midnight, Alice! This couldn't have waited until morning?" I said, exasperated.
She clicked her tongue in disapproval. "You know me better than that, Bella. There is no way I could have waited another eight hours." That was true. I had been 99 percent positive that Alice would contact me tonight.
"So, give me the details!" she squealed.
I sighed. "Well—"
A loud crash from the other end of the line broke into my train of thought, followed by a sigh from Alice. And dead silence.
"What was that?" I demanded.
"Oh, nothing really," she responded, sounding irritated. "Edward's idiot of a friend is visiting and they're wrestling in the house. The flat screen TV Emmett just bought was knocked over. Now fill me in Bella, please!" she added, whining.
"I had a lot of fun. I'm coming over tomorrow to see him. He's better than I thought he'd be. Thank you Alice." The words were rushed, but even so, my face turned bright red.
"Really?" she asked, sounding incredulous.
"Yes, really."
"He didn't act strange? Like he had mental disabilities or anything?" she persisted.
"Alice!" a male's velvety voice yelled from the other end. I couldn't help but giggle. Alice giggled with me.
"She's laughing at you," Alice whispered to Edward.
"Great," I heard him mutter.
I laughed a little more, until I heard Emmett's voice yelling from the other end.
"Edward and Jasper! What the fuck is your problem?! I just bought this flat screen! Do you have any idea how much it cost?!"
Esme's voice came next.
"Emmett! Watch your language."
In response, Emmett growled. "They broke my flat screen, Mom! And Edward, you better be prepared to spend 9, 000 bucks on a 82 inch flat screen!"
"9,000 dollars?!" Edward yelled now.
"Um...Alice..." I said carefully. "I better go. You might want to disappear to your room for a while."
She laughed. "See you tomorrow Bella." Then the phone clicked off, leaving me laughing to myself.
"What was going on there?" Charlie asked. "I heard a lot of screaming."
"Edward broke Emmett's new TV." I couldn't stop the giggles that crept through my lips.
"Edward?" Charlie asked. "That's Alice's twin, right?"
I nodded. "Mhm. He's staying in Forks over the summer."
"You've already met him?"
I blushed, then cursed myself for doing so.
"Is that where you were tonight?" Charlie asked. I sighed, easily defeated.
"Yes."
He raised an eyebrow, pushing for more.
"Alice set me up with him."
"Hmm." That was all Charlie said.
A/N: This isn't the end of the chapter. It's only have done. So check back in 12 hours for the second half of it!
