7. Sporting Goods Store

Unfortunately, Carlisle wasn't the only one who was watching the two new friends as they wallowed in the deep blue ocean water.

Mike Newton awoke with quite a headache due to the large amount of alcohol he had consumed the night before. Making his way to the bathroom was a chore, but he was happy there was one connected to their room. After relieving himself and popping a few Advil into his mouth, his stomach growled with hunger.

He glanced around for Isabella but didn't give it much thought when she wasn't in the room. He glanced at the overstuffed chair in the corner with disgust when he noticed the blanket that was crumpled up in the cushion. Mike was not surprised to find that she had fallen asleep in a chair, undoubtedly reading some dumb ass book.

Mike shook his head, though not too hard considering the way it was throbbing, and let his mind wander to the future that had been set in stone for him since the day he was born. Newton's Outfitters was the king of all sporting goods stores in the Pacific Northwest. His father was a shrewd businessman who had worked hard to provide for his family's future.

Lucky for Mike, his sister, Claire, had no interest in being involved with the company. She married a marine, and they were currently living in Japan. As a wedding gift, the Newton's set up at trust fund in exchange for her relinquishing any rights to the family business. There was no way Mike Sr. was going to let his son-in-law possibly benefit from his hard work in the case of divorce.

Mike Newton Jr. had known Isabella Swan since high school when she moved to Forks to live with her father. He found her attractive from the moment he laid his eyes on her. He had tried for all of high school to lay more than just his eyes on her, but she was persistently dismissive. When she needed to find a job, he quickly convinced his father to hire her.

She worked there throughout high school and during breaks from college. Mr. and Mrs. Newton loved her like their own child, and she felt the same way about them. It was only a matter of time before she was expected to spend the holidays with them, and before she knew it, she was naturally coupled up with Mike. She continued to fight off his advances, as she wasn't attracted to his immature and obnoxious behavior whatsoever.

She knew the Newton's would be over the moon if the two of them became an item, but Bella wasn't about to be the cow that jumped over that moon. Mike just wasn't for her.

When Charlie Swan was diagnosed with dementia, Bella leaned heavily on the Newton's for support. After all, she was just a college student left alone to deal with such a thing. She moved home and was promoted at the store.

It was one winter night that things changed for the worse. She was working the evening shift when she received a phone call from the Forks Police Department. Charlie had been a Police Officer for years before he went on disability due to his diagnosis, and the guys stayed in constant contact.

The police were alerted when a neighbor called complaining of a man making a disturbance. Charlie had been found wandering their neighborhood in Bella's robe looking for their lost dog. The Swans hadn't had a family pet since Bella was four.

They picked him up and drove him home, calling Bella to let her know that they would stay with him until she got off of work. It was then that she realized Charlie was no longer safe at home alone.

Bella was ecstatic when she learned there was an assisted living facility for dementia/Alzheimer's patients a mere twenty-minute drive from their home. She set up a visit for the next day and felt confident that Charlie would be comfortable there.

Her joy turned into despair when she learned how much the facility cost. She couldn't understand how anyone could afford such a place. Charlie's disability income, along with his retirement accounts and house, pushed him above the level of income needed to get assistance.

When Bella did the math she realized that all of these things would only allow him to live there for a couple of years. Though his mind was slowly dying, his body was in good shape. Bella refused to move him somewhere only to have to move him again when his money ran out.

The Newton's were sympathetic during this time. They had grown fond of Charlie, and because they were even fonder of Isabella, they offered her a solution to her problem. She wasn't one for handouts but when they offered to make up the difference in payment to the facility, she found herself unable to refuse them.

Once Charlie was settled into his new home things slowly changed for her. The Newton's remained sweet as pie to her, but they started to consistently mention Mike and had started talking about the future…namely their future.

Bella was taken aback; clearly they couldn't think she would ever willingly choose a future with Mike. Willingly turned out to be the key word.

Mike Sr. knew that Mike Jr. had the work ethic of a slug, therefore holding all of his hope in the hard work of Isabella, and of the future grandkids he hoped to mold.

The next time Mike asked her to go out with him and she again politely turned him down, he laid it all out on the table for her.

He wanted her, and if she wanted Charlie's needs to be taken care of, she would at least act like she wanted him back.

Mike set his sights on Isabella and that was the way it was going to be. He knew she wasn't in love with him; hell, she barely even liked him, and it wasn't like he was in love with her either. He didn't need love; he needed a wife and then children.

Mike felt Isabella was lucky to have him; the future king of sporting goods. He couldn't understand why she wasn't falling at his feet. He was good-looking and had money. What else could the girl fucking want? Not to mention she refused to put out. It really didn't matter since he had no problem getting laid.

In fact, Mike had a set fuck date on Tuesdays with Bree in the stockroom. He'd wait for sex with Isabella and figured it would probably be as boring as she was anyway. For now, he was good with the dry humping and haphazard hand jobs she gave him. Soon he'd let her suck on his cock. He figured once she did that, she'd finally realize how good she had it.

Newton opened the curtains and squinted as he let his eyes adjust to the morning sun. If he was lucky, he'd catch a glimpse of Jessica's huge tits. What he wouldn't give to slide his johnson between those bad boys. He felt his dick twitch just thinking about it.

Unfortunately, Jessica was nowhere to be found. Instead he saw the usually reserved and quiet girl splashing around in the ocean, laughing and carefree with another guy.

He saw red. No one disrespected Mike Newton. Who did she think she was? He was definitely going to set her straight…and soon.
