1819 Words
Damian's P.O.V.
I never thought I'd ever say the term home sweet home in my life, even when I returned home to South Dakota several months ago and reunited with my long-lost family but now it's one of my favourite sayings.
The reason why is because these days I get to come home to not only my brethren in the MC but I'm also coming home to my father, step-mother, older brother, my beautiful twin sister and her two boys as well who are the most important people in my life now.
Anyway, home really is a very sweet home for me these days and I especially love coming home after having a long, hard day at work like I have today but as happy as I am to be home, I'm even more excited to leave again so that I can head back out to Tanner and Elena's new club and set my sights on their new hire again.
I just need a good enough excuse for me to go there first because I don't wanna show up on my own looking like some creepy weirdo just so that I can see Nicole again.
I don't know what it is about this beautiful and sexy little lady but I haven't been able to get her off my mind all day.
Nicole has been the main star of my thoughts which has left me majorly distracted, so much so that I almost f****d up a seven-hundred-dollar tattoo at work today because my mind was more focused on the little lady I had only just met today, as well as our brief interaction.
I've never been so entranced by a woman before in my life but when I saw this tiny little woman hand Tigs dumbass to him after he had insulted her, I was immediately obsessed with her and I knew that I had to get to know her by any means possible which is what I plan to do tonight or at least I'm hoping to anyway.
"Hey yo, Damo, where the hell have you been? I thought you clocked off work around five"
"Yeah, normally I do but time ran over on a job I was working on, so I couldn't get off until late"
I say whilst resting my elbows on the bar and rubbing my forehead in frustration.
"What happened? was your mind away with the fairies again, brother?"
Camo, one of my club brothers asks me and I look at him like what the f**k?.
"You've been spending way too much time with Joshua and Pinky, Cam"
I say with a slight chuckle and he rolls his eyes.
"I think Dame's mind was more focused on the smoking hot hottie who came into the club earlier on today than anything else, Cam"
"Huh, what hottie?"
Camo asked looking both confused and intrigued.
"The same one who handed Tig's ass to him because he thought she was some w***e who was trying to hit on Tanner again"
I say with a smirk as Tig's face turned slightly red from anger.
"She never handed my ass to me, Dame..."
"No, she just called you a cupcake and a cockroach and told you to stop being a judgmental prick"
I say before taking a swig of my beer as Camo burst out laughing.
"Oh god, I need to meet this girl, she sounds like a right hoot"
"She's more than just a hoot, brother, in fact, she reminds me a lot of Elena"
Urgh!!.
"How so?"
I ask Tig feeling disgusted that the girl I liked was being compared to my baby sister.
I mean, don't get me wrong, it's not an insult because Elena is a beautiful woman with a great personality and a feisty attitude just like Nicole but that doesn't mean I want to hear them being compared to each other because I don't.
"Don't you remember that story Eight Ball told us about when some of the brothers first met Elena and she took down that huge guy from the Devils Cove MC?"
Oh god yeah.
"Didn't she knock him off his chair with just one kick?"
"Mmm-hmm"
Tig says whilst taking a swig of his beer as I mouthed wow to myself.
"I mean, it's still impressive if that's all she did considering those guys are built like Braun Strowman"
I say and my two brothers chuckle.
"She did way more than that, brother, Bear called Elena a slut which she threw back at his mom and then she attacked his manhood when she told him she had a PhD and he claimed he did as well but his was a different kind of PhD to hers if you catch my drift"
Tig says and I chuckle as I take another swig of my beer.
That sister of mine is a little savage.
"So, Damian's girl is a lot like Elena then?"
"Yep"
Tig says as he downs his beer.
"Great, that's all we need, another little Vixen on our hands giving us more grey hairs than we want or need"
Camo says whilst rolling his eyes and shaking his head as I smiled.
"Anyway, Dame, the prez is looking for you, he said he wants to see you in his office when you get back from work"
Great.
"Do you know why he wants to meet with me?"
"Not a clue"
Tig says with a shake of his head.
"Ok"
I muttered before heading upstairs with my beer bottle in hand.
When I arrived at Tanner's office, I knocked on the door and was greeted by an exhausted and gruff-sounding voice.
"Enter"
Tanner says and I opened the door.
The first thing I noticed upon entering the room was the warm and cosy ambiance which is kind of strange for someone like my brother in law who is the president of a badass MC but it made perfect sense when I looked over at the couch and I saw the tiny little figure lying fast asleep on it with a throw covering her body as she clutched a baby monitor in her hand.
"Hey there, Dame"
"Hey, prez"
I say with a smile as I lean down and kiss Ellie's cheek.
"You'd better hope for my poor angel's sake that she doesn't wake up and smell your nasty ass beer breath near her, my brother because you know just as well as I do what she's been like lately with that smell"
"Oh s**t yeah"
I completely forgot about that.
Elena's only in her first trimester but already she's started to feel the effects of being pregnant, the main ones being nausea, exhaustion and certain smells such as beer making her feel sick.
I remember the first time we realised there was a problem, we had gone to the clubhouse with the family to attend one of the club princesses eighteenth birthday party and Elena was barely through the front door before she made a beeline for the ladies toilets and had her head buried in the toilet bowl.
It didn't come to us straight away that it was the smell of beer that was the problem because my sister had put her vomiting down to her having morning sickness in the night which she'd had a couple of times apparently.
We eventually realised it was a problem when myself, Tanner, Brandon and M&M came home to the ranch after attending one of the brothers bachelor parties, we were drunk as f**k, as you can imagine and when Tanner tried to kiss my sister on the lips, she immediately started baulking and ran to the downstairs toilet.
That's when we knew for sure what was causing her to be sick and ever since then, every single one of us including the brothers have been considerate of her and stopped drinking beer around her.
I know some may think that this is unfair and or selfish because the brothers shouldn't be forced to stop drinking beer because of one person but they honestly don't mind.
They all love Ellie and not just because she's their prez's old lady, they love her because she's a sweetheart with a big heart and many of the brothers see her as either a sister, cousin or niece, that's how beloved she is amongst the brothers, so they don't mind cutting back on the beer for the sake of her and our soon to be prince/princess.
"She looks like she's knocked out for the count, Viper"
"That's because she is"
An exhausted Tanner says whilst running a hand over his face and through his hair.
"She's had a long day with Max and Ryan, not to mention, she's had Joshua and Pinky on her ass all day discussing plans for the gender reveal, add all of that on top of the fact that she's pregnant and you've got one exhausted Elena on your hands, Tinhead"
"Really? well, hopefully any lingering smells of my beer breath will be gone by the time she wakes up"
I say with a smile.
"I hope so, brother"
Tanner says with a sigh.
"My poor angel is so exhausted tonight that she barely had a chance to put the boys to bed before she crashed herself"
He said as he looked over at my sister with a sympathetic expression.
"Well, that's pregnancy for you, brother, it puts a strain on a woman's body, as well as her physical, mental and emotional health that us men will never even know or comprehend"
"You're telling me, Dame, she passed out not long after the boys did and I had to carry her to my office so that she can get comfy on the couch while I finished off some paperwork which I don't mind, I love having her close to me, it's just I hate how weak and tired this pregnancy is making her feel"
Tanner said and I immediately felt bad for Ellie as I looked down at her whilst gently stroking her hair away from her face.
It is weird seeing my usually wired and alert baby sister so tired all of the time but I guess this is something we'll just have to get used to, especially if it's gonna last for the entirety of her pregnancy.
"So...what did you wanna see me for, Viper?"
I ask as I sit down in the chair in front of Tanner's desk.
I thought he was gonna ask me to do something work or club related like going on a run, you know, something which would derail me from my initial plans but his request was one that almost had me doing some cringey ass JoJo Siwa style dancing in the middle of his office.
"I need you to go to Vipers and Vixens and keep an eye on the new hire for me"
He said and I smirked.
God, I love my brother-in-law.
