Finding Love With A Biker After Divorce

Chapter 10 - Bitchiness At The Bar.

Nicole's P.O.V.

I don't know what I was expecting to experience when I applied to work as a waitress at a strip club but it certainly wasn't what I ended up experiencing here tonight.

Most people believe that strip clubs are trashy and disgusting places and their opinions about the ladies who work here are always less than favourable as well but that's not the case with this club.

I'm only a few hours into my first shift here at Vipers and Vixens and I can honestly say that it's nothing like what you've heard about.

If anything, this place reminds me a lot of the strip club in Rock Of Ages, except there's no sassy Mary J Blige looking fabulous and there's no singing and choreographed dancing or strippers with insane core strength either.

If you've seen the movie, then you'll know what I mean by that last comment.

You can also tell just from the décor alone that Tanner and his wife have poured a LOT of money into this place because everything in here looks so expensive and classy, it's definitely not some run-down, sleazy bar.

I mean, even our work uniform looks like it's of the best quality, unlike some places who use cheap fabric.

As for my co-workers, well, almost all of them are really nice people including the dancers who have all made an effort to come and introduce themselves to me when they're on their break.

The dancers are incredibly sweet women who are either working here because they have to or because they want to and I don't blame the latter because I've spoken to some of the girls and according to them, they earn top dollar working as a stripper here, not to mention they get great benefits as well.

Unfortunately, not all of the girls have been nice to me or treated me like one of the team and a few of the girls here have either been glaring at me or giving me nasty looks when they think I'm not looking at them.

There's this one girl in particular called Brianna who keeps giving me the stink eye, especially when she sees me with Damian who has barely left my side ever since I first started my shift.

At first, I thought he was just doing his job by showing me the ropes of the place but now I think that there may be another reason why he keeps lurking around me, I just don't know what it is yet.

"Can I get another beer, beautiful?"

"Shouldn't you be working?"

I ask Damian with a smile.

"I am working, little lady, Viper told me to keep an eye on the new hire and that's what I'm doing, I'm keeping a very good eye on you"

Damian says whilst eyeing me up and down with a slight smirk on his face which made me chuckle.

"Viper?"

I ask curiously as I hand Damian his beer.

"Mmm-hmm"

He said with a nod of his head as he took a swig of his drink.

"Viper is Tanner's road name, little lady"

Oh right.

"And I take it Vixen is his wife's road name?"

I ask him and he nods his head.

"Yeah, she's definitely a little vixen that one"

Damian mutters under his breath which made me narrow my eyes at him in confusion.

"Don't look at me like that, little lady, Elena's my twin sister, so I'm allowed to say what I want about her, well...within reason, of course"

He says and I chuckled.

"Well, Tanner, Viper, whatever you wanna call him, he probably won't be happy that you're sitting around the bar drinking beer instead of doing actual work"

I tell Damian who almost choked on his beer.

"Excuse me, little lady but I am working, Viper's specific words to me were to keep an eye on the new hire and that's exactly what I'm doing"

Damian said with a smile as I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, he probably meant that he wanted you to keep an eye on me to make sure I'm doing my job properly or to make sure I'm not stealing any of the takings"

I say and he scoffs.

"I've got no reason to believe that you'd steal from us, Nicole, unlike some of the women in this joint"

"Oh yeah, like who?"

I ask feeling intrigued.

I'm normally not one who likes to gossip but for some reason, I was immediately intrigued when Damian said this because I had a feeling who he was talking about and if I was right which I think I am then it would make sense because this girl looks like the type who would steal even if she's being paid a lot of money to work here.

"My guess is that you already know who I'm talking about, am I right, Nicole?"

He says and I nod my head.

"Brianna?"

I ask him and he nods his head whilst biting down on his lower lip.

"Yeah, that's the one and her little sidekick Rachel as well"

Damian says with a sigh whilst rubbing his forehead in frustration.

"I swear those two bitches give me hives whenever I catch them behind the bar or handling any money that's not theirs"

"Nice, do you kiss your mother with that mouth?"

I asked with a smile which quickly dropped when Damian said what he said next.

"My mother's dead, little lady"

Damian says bluntly as he takes a swig of his beer and I immediately felt guilty.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry, I didn't know"

"Don't be"

Damian says whilst waving his hand like he was shooing away what I said.

"My mother was a piss poor human being who put my siblings and me through more s**t than a working toilet...she's better off dead, if you ask me"

"Wow and I thought my kids dad was a piece of s**t"

I said absentmindedly.

Cameron was an awful husband and an even worse father to Lola but I would never say that he deserves to die or that he's better off dead because as bad as he is, he's not as bad as some of the parents ++out there.

"You're a mom?"

Damian asks sounding shocked.

"Mmm-hmm, I've got a daughter, she's three years old and she's my everything"

"Really? what's her name if you don't mind me asking?"

Damian asks with a slight smile which made me smile.

"Not all, her name's Lola"

"Lola? what like the bunny?"

He asks me and I chuckle.

"Yeah, just like the bunny, in fact, that's her nickname, Lola Bunny"

"Cool...is she as cute as her mom is?"

Damian asks me and I was so grateful that the only lighting in here was neon lighting because I just knew that my face was blushing bright red right now from his comment.

"No, she's better looking"

"Not possible with a mom as hot as you are"

He said and I giggled like actually f*****g giggled like a schoolgirl receiving a compliment from her crush.

"Blushing suits you, Nicole"

"How do you know I'm blushing?"

I ask confused and he smirks at me.

"I can tell, besides..."

Damian drifts off as he lifts his hand up to my face and gently caresses my cheek with the back of his hand which made my breath hitch.

"Your face is so hot, you could roast marshmallows on it, sweetheart"

Oh my god.

How embarrassing.

"That doesn't prove I'm blushing, Damian, if anything, it proves that it's hot in here, that's all"

I said choosing to remain in denial instead of admitting to the truth.

"Really?"

Damian asks with a smirk.

"Yes, really"

I say whilst focusing my attention on something other than the sexy man in front of me, whose smirk made him look even hotter.

God, why does this man have to be so freaking hot?.

"Do you really wanna stand by that statement, beautiful?"

Damian asks sounding just as sexy as he looks which had me groaning under my breath as I sent a silent prayer to the man above.

Oh god, please help your daughter out, I haven't got any spare panties on me.

"Yes, yes, I do"

I say with a smile and Damian's smirk intensified.

"I'm glad you've said that because it's impossible for it to be hot in here"

"Oh, really? and why's that then, Damian?"

"Because the AC's on, sweetheart"

A smug Damian said causing my jaw to drop open.

Wow, do I feel like a moron right now.

I thought to myself as I felt a slight grip on my chin lifting it up to close my mouth.

"You should close your mouth, beautiful, before you catch something"

Damian says in a flirtatious tone leaving me feeling even more speechless than I already was or at least I was speechless until an angry voice brought me out of my shocked spell.

"Shouldn't you be working instead of flirting with your boss like some common w***e, Nicole?"

An angry Brianna asks as she stood with her hands on her hips and a glare on her face which pissed me off.

"Excuse you, who the hell..."

I tried to defend myself but I was cut off by a pissed off Damian before I could.

"Who the f**k are you calling a w***e, Brianna?"

"I'm calling HER one, Dame"

Brianna says whilst saying the word her like some petty child which made me scoff as I rolled my eyes at her.

Girl, I've got a three-year-old, it's gonna take more than some grown ass, petulant little girl being a brat to get me truly riled up.

"First of all, Brianna, my name is Tinhead to people like you and you know this, you're not my friend and you're certainly not my old lady, so you've got no right to call me by my god given name like that, do you understand me?"

Damian asks Brianna who visibly flinches from his tone.

"And secondly, don't you ever call Nicole a w***e again, do you hear me? she's not a w***e and I don't appreciate her being insulted with a title that someone like you holds so proudly"

Oh s**t.

I thought to myself as Brianna's face contorted to both shock and hurt.

You'd think after being burned as badly as this by someone like Damian that it would be enough for this girl to run away in shame with her tail tucked tightly between her legs but that's clearly not the case for Brianna who decided to poke the already pissed off bear even further.

"Why are you defending her, Dami...I mean, Tinhead? she's not your old lady either"

Brianna said in a whiny tone sounding like a spoiled brat.

Damian then muttered something under his breath which I couldn't quite make out, as he stood up and glared at Brianna.

"It doesn't matter what she is to me, Brianna, the only thing that matters is that you know what you are to me and what you mean to me"

"Really? and what do I mean to you, huh?"

Brianna asks sounding all giddy as she shot me a smug look but that didn't last for long.

Damian then guzzled down the last of his beer and placed the empty bottle on the bar as he looked at Brianna with a weird smile on his face.

"You mean absolutely f**k all to me"

He said before walking away from the bar leaving Brianna shocked and me amused.

Ha.

Take that, b***h.
