"I hope Carlisle is behaving and isn't pushing you too much. He's a bit competitive about swimming."

Esme patted Bella's arm.

"Oh not at all Esme. I used to swim a lot in my old hometown." Bella blushed.

Bella. Isabella Newton. Ah! Turns out the angel that captivated my sight, was married, to the one and only prick Michael Newton. Yes, the prick who descended of the boat to walk away and didn't make the effort to help her descend from the boat.

They been here for two days and I already loathed the man. Not only he mistreated the beautiful woman who was his wife, he flirted with all the female staff of the hotel. And the guy was a jealous prick.

The first morning, I went down to my morning walk on the beach. I usually waved a salute to Carlisle who was already swimming, and went by, hearing music and minding my own business. Yesterday was different. When I turned to wave Carlisle, I saw two people swimming and waving back. Bella liked to swim in the morning, and she would be a perfect partner to Carlisle. Esme giggled and tried to scare me.

"Boo!" She jumped from behind a palm tree.

"Good morning Esme! I see Carlisle found a partner."

"Oh, she's so sweet! She came down here with the cutest bathing suit, and asked Carlisle if he didn't mind watching her. She said she was afraid to swim alone. That was thirty minutes ago. It seems she can keep the pace with Carlisle."

I smiled. I asked Esme if she didn't mind if I seated with her, and she replied by pushing a chair to me.

We were babbling about the weather, sunny and warm like the week before, and about a possible fishing trip the older men were planning. Suddenly an enraged male voice startled us.

"Come back here Isabella!"

The pompous man from yesterday yelled to Bella who was almost reaching the buoy.

He had a golden chain in his hand with a ring on it. Uh oh! Maybe Isabella was married.

He kicked the chair besides where Esme was seated, and it really got in my nerves.

"Hey! The lady is seated there. Respect her!"

He turned his angry glare to me, and kicked the chair again, but by this time Joham had also descended to have a walk.

"Hey young boy, in this place we respect women."

Pompous prick was ready to kick the chair again, when he noticed that we were approaching him. The guy was shorter than both of us, and he started to sweat.

"S-so-r-rry." Yeah, right. Pompous prick recovered his manners when he noticed we outnumbered him. He cleared his throat. "I was scared because I woke up and my wife wasn't in the room with me. She left her ring..." He showed us the chain with the ring.

"Good morning guys, what's going on?" Carlisle was back, and he took his towel from Esme's chair.

I turned to the sea, and Bella was coming back, her shoulders hunched down, like she wanted to hide but she didn't have where to go. Esme was right, her bathing suit was cute, it was one piece that covered a lot, but somehow showed how beautiful her body was.

Her towel was also with Esme but she looked reluctant to come closer. Esme took it and walked over her.

"Your husband was worried for you." She said, giving a pointed glare to pompous prick.

"Sorry. I left a note." She covered her body with her enormous towel and walked in pompous prick direction. He shoved the chain into her hands and for a second it looked like he wanted to slap her. I'm sure he stopped because he was surrounded by people.

Bella stood quiet and staring to the sand. Her hands were shaking, but it could be because she was cold. Pompous prick pointed to the hotel and she walked back, she only turned to say goodbye softly.

Later, when we were eating, pompous prick changed his manners drastically. He was talking to everybody, charming the waitress, and he kept one of his hands over Bella's thigh. He introduced himself as Michael Newton, an up and coming lawyer. He said they didn't have the chance to take time for a honeymoon. So now, two years later, he took Bella on a vacation. I noticed the bittersweet smile Bella showed when he said she deserved it. There was something else there. But I'm sure I would never find out, because the prick never let me get closer to Bella. Esme nodded to me, and she seated next to Bella, and started to talk about her house in Chicago; Bella mentioned they came from Seattle. But every time she spoke, she turned to watch pompous prick's expression. It was truly sad.

He even chased Carlisle away. Carlisle who is completely devoted to his wife, and it's really obvious to anyone who looks at them!

Anyway, back to this day. I tried to avoid Bella, I didn't want her to get into trouble, but we were a little bunch, I somehow got seated close to her. I let Esme get all the information I was sure she will share all with me later.

I turned to the other new guests. Emmett and Rosalie McCarty. They were seated behind me. Emmett was a very nice guy, always had a joke to make you smile and his demeanor always put you on a good mood. His wife on the other hand, was too quiet. She only spoke when you asked something directly to her and even then, her answers were always monosyllables. What I found odd was the way she dressed. We were in a beach and she always appeared wearing some long-sleeved blouse and Capri pants. Yeah, Esme told me how they were called. She also found it weird because they were designer clothes and always were perfectly matched.

Emmett kissed his wife's hand and told me. "Hey Jasper, why don't you call one of the old men and we play dominoes?"

I nodded and turned to see who may get to play with us. The four older men were sleeping. Marcus and Joham on their chairs, Alistair and Caius were on the beach under a palm tree.

I shrugged my shoulders and asked Carlisle, who immediately agreed. Now we only needed one more. Emmett offered to all the presents, and Bella was about to stand and say yes, but Michael pushed her back and stood. He came and said he was a bit rusty.

We played a couple of rounds, and it was clear to me how everyone disliked the prick. He didn't know how to play, he was the worst partner and worst of all, he was a sore looser.

In this round, I was paired with him. I was ready to leave the game because he made it impossible. We were talking about the fishing trip and pulling jokes between us, but Michael remained quiet. One moment I noticed his lustful glare directed to someone behind me. I was sure Bella was talking with Esme on the other side of the beach. Discreetly, I looked back and was shocked to find that one of the maids was blushing. He winked at her, and suddenly he was licking his lips. I turned and noticed the maid dropped a towel on the floor and was bent picking it up, she gave him a coy look from her shoulder. How disgusting! But I really don't blame the maid, I was sure he was a man used to get whatever he wanted and he could charm his way to get on her pants.

The women were back and noticed the exchange. Esme frowned, Isabella just stared and sighed. But the look that impressed me was Rosalie's, she had the coldest glare I've ever seen on a woman, and she wasn't married to the man. She really looked like she hated him. Somehow, he must had felt the odd looks, because he turned around and ran to hug Bella.

"Darling, I'm so glad you're back! Let me finish this round and we could go back to our room."

It didn't escape me that he winked again to the maid; and Bella, well, Bella for a single second had a determined look on her face, but immediately she turned to give him a bland smile.

We lost, but I was grateful that the game was over and the Newtons left the table.

Esme was the first to break the silence.

"If he tried to wink to the maid again I was sure to clock him with my bag."

Emmett smiled. "But Esme, your bag is full of yarn! Maybe if you shoved one of those knitting needles on his balls..."

We all laughed, but our laughter died when Rosalie spoke.

"Maybe I'll do it."

It was the most I heard from her on these two days!

Hi! I know we all hate Michael, to the left is the line to help Rosalie :)

I have family from USA visiting this weekend, so probably I will update next Monday or Tuesday. So have a nice weekend.

May
