Nicole's P.O.V.
"My name's Nicole...what's yours?"
"Nicole"
He says barely above a whisper as he bit down on his lower lip.
"My road name is Tinhead but people I like call me Damian"
He said and I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Road name? are you in a gang or something?"
"Yes, actually I am, I'm a member of the Demon Kings MC, look"
Damian says whilst pulling his black leather vest to the side to show me his patches which were mainly just his road name and two other patches that said Nomad and Enforcer on them.
I don't know much about motorcycle clubs but I do know that the Enforcer is an important role and I know this because one of my friends is a member of an MC and her father's role is similar to that of an Enforcer and she always talks about how important her dad is to their club.
Despite knowing this, I still couldn't resist having a little joke around with Damian since I'm in such a teasing mood today.
"Hmm impressive, I see you're the Enforcer, so that must mean you're nobody important or special to your club like your president and VP are, right?"
I asked with a smile and Damian dramatically gasped whilst holding both of his hands to his chest like I had physically hurt him.
"Ouch, little lady, that hurt"
He says with a handsome smile and I chuckled.
"Actually, I am someone important to my club, little lady, not just as the Enforcer but as the prez's brother-in-law as well"
"Oh my god, really?"
I gasped dramatically.
"I remember that role in Sons Of Anarchy, it's a very important role, in fact, if I remember correctly, it's the most important role in any MC, right?"
I ask sarcastically and Damian narrows his eyes at me.
"You've watched Sons Of Anarchy?"
He asks whilst looking at me with awe.
"Yeah, I have, why?"
"No reason, you just don't seem like the type of person who would watch that sort of thing, that's all"
He says and I shrug my shoulders.
"Well, I only watched the first three seasons, it got kind of boring after that for me"
I say and he chuckles slightly.
"So, what would you like me to call you then, hmm? I really hope it's your actual name and not your road name because no offence but calling you Tinhead sounds silly"
I say and he laughs.
"Well, it's a good job that I like you then, so you can call me Damian"
He says with a wink and a smile which made my cheeks turn a slight shade of rouge but they felt like they were on fire, that's how much he was making me blush.
"You're not flirting with my potential new hire, are you, Dame?"
A new voice asks Damian who rolls his eyes whilst groaning something unintelligible under his breath.
I looked over at the new voice which was coming from my left and I saw a man wearing a similar vest to Damian's heading over to us and just like with Damian, he looked like a freaking GQ model as well.
"Jesus Christ, is there a special requirement in your MC that you guys have to be beefed up, heavily tattooed and extremely good looking to be a member?"
I asked with a slight chuckle and a smile which Damian reciprocated.
"It's not a special requirement, little lady, all of this is a gift from god"
Damian says with a smirk whilst waving his hand up and down his body before motioning his hand over at his friend.
"As for the Gruffalo over there, he had to work really hard to look the way that he does and he's still f*****g ugly...AAHHH!!"
Damian says before groaning in pain after his friend slapped him hard across the back of his head.
"Your sister clearly doesn't think I'm ugly, asshole"
"That's because Elena needs glasses, brother"
Damian says before quickly moving away from his friend to dodge another hit.
"Don't make me embarrass you in front of your girl, Dame because you know I can and I will, so keep pushing me, I dare you"
Damian's friend said with a smirk whilst slightly nodding his head towards me.
"Oh, I'm not his girl, I'm just..."
"Yeah, I know, sweetheart, I'm just jok..."
He drifted off as he looked at me with a shocked expression whilst mouthing what the f**k? as his eyes narrowed into slits.
"Do I know you? you look...you look so familiar to me...I feel like I've seen you somewhere before but I don't know where"
He says and I briefly narrowed my eyes between the two men whilst looking confused.
"No, I don't think so"
"Are you sure? because your eyes..."
He once again drifted off as he looked me deep in my eyes which made me feel a little uncomfortable.
At first, I thought it was odd because he was looking at me so intently which as you can imagine, is enough to make anyone feel uncomfortable but then I realised that he was looking at me like he was trying to recall meeting me which isn't possible considering this is the first time we've ever met.
"Are you ok, brother? why are you looking at her like that?"
A confused Damian asks his friend who shook his head like he was coming out of a daze.
"Yeah, I'm good...sorry, please forgive me, I must be seeing things"
He said whilst still staring at me.
"Anyway, I'm Tanner Giovane, the co-owner of this fine establishment and I'll be the one who is interviewing you today, can you follow me, please?"
"Yeah, sure"
I say as I grab hold of my bag and look back at Damian.
"See you around, Damian"
"Oh, I'll definitely be seeing you again, Nicole"
Damian says and I smile as I walk away from him and follow behind Tanner who was shaking his head at his friend as he muttered what an i***t under his breath.
There's a chance that I'll probably never see Damian again after today but I'm glad to have had this brief meeting with him because weirdly enough, having our little chat brought back some of the confidence that I had lost whilst being married to Cameron which I appreciate a lot.
I used to be a really confident girl but being married to Cameron Parker destroyed a lot of that, so I'm grateful to Damian for bringing some of it back.
Anyway, Tanner led me towards his office where we had my interview which didn't last for too long because all he wanted and needed to know was the basics and those were if I've ever handled cash before in a business setting and if I've got any customer service experience which I have with both of them.
He also wanted to know if I could handle myself around men which I didn't really have to answer thanks to his barback who had already told him about my 'feisty attitude' earlier on but I still answered him anyway and told him that I was more than capable of handling myself which I am thanks to the many years of being mistreated by my ex and our families.
Tanner also made it clear that Vipers and Vixens is a strip club which he had started up with his wife Elena not too long ago but that they'll never ever force me to be a stripper and I'll never feel obligated to be one unless I wanted to which I never would but if I did then all I had to do was to speak to either him or his wife and they'll have no problems arranging it for me.
I also learned that I'll earn some pretty good wages along with tips from patrons whilst working here and I'll also get several other benefits as well, not that I really need them but it's nice to know that all of the other workers earn great money and benefits from this place which is rare for some jobs were you either get one or the other.
After the interview, I was told by Tanner that I had got the job and that my first shift started that night which I was really excited about.
He then gave me my work uniform which consisted of various different tops, pants, shorts and mini skirts which were all in black with the club's logo and name on them in blood red.
I then thanked Tanner and bid goodbye to him before leaving his office and I'm not gonna lie but I felt a little disappointed when I walked through the club to leave and I saw that Damian wasn't there.
I quickly shook off my disappointment and left the club feeling ridiculous that I was feeling such a way over some guy that I've literally just met, only to come face to face with the man himself as he stood with his body leaning against his motorbike with his huge tattooed arms crossed over his chest.
"So...did you get the job?"
He asks with a smile like he already knew what my answer was going to be.
"Yeah, I did, I start tonight"
"Congratulations"
Damian says as his smile gets bigger and brighter.
"So, I'll be seeing more of you then?"
"It looks like it"
I said whilst reciprocating his smile.
I don't know why but this guy was making me feel like a teenage girl again.
You know that feeling when you're young and innocent and you would feel this excitement and giddiness whenever you saw or talked with your crush, well, that's how Damian makes me feel which is strange because I don't know this man from Adam, yet he's making me feel things that I didn't even feel for my ex-husband.
That's strange, right?.
"I'll see you tonight then, beautiful"
Damian said with a wink before getting on his motorbike and riding off while I just stood there watching him like I was in a daze.
There must be something wrong with me.
I mean, how can a stranger make me feel this way about him? it's not normal, right?.
I was suddenly brought out of my thoughts by my phone ringing and I was left raging like a bull when I answered it and I found out from Sidney that Cameron and Lily had shown up at my house and were demanding to see Lola.
What the f**k?.
"I'm on my way"
I growled down the phone before hanging up and getting in my car.
I then headed back to my home with one continuous thought on my mind.
Why can't these assholes just leave us the hell alone?.
