“I’m just a resident right now” Nick grinned, ducking his head and scratching the mop of dark brown curls on his head “Santos is uhh Spanish right? You’re Spanish?”
If there was one thing that Nicholas prided himself on, it was his absolute and determined respect for women’s’ equality and their right to choose what they did or did not do with their body. He had dated several sex workers in his past and had never found any problem with what they did for work. In recent years though, this had begun to change, though it had little to do with the nature of their work.
Nick’s alcoholic father Roman worked as security as Supernatural’s; the best strip club in Opulence, and the place where most local sex workers in Opulence had connections or had worked at even if just for a night. His father, like Nicky, was renowned there; most of the women adored him, and Nicholas wasn’t sure how many he had slept with but if he was anything like his son – and many told him, he was worse – Nicholas knew the number would be high.
Hearing that Rosalia was a dancer was not unwelcomed news, hearing where she worked was however, was incredibly unwelcome. The werewolf shifted in his seat uncomfortably as he clocked what it was that he was feeling; insecurity, and… jealousy.
Jealousy was not a common emotion for Nicholas, he was perfectly at ease in himself and so when others showed superiority in skills or talents relative to himself, he was only ever happy for them, but with his father… it was different. He didn’t like the idea of his father flirting with Rosalia in any way, but knew that if she worked in any kind of close proximity to him, then this would happen eventually.
“Aah… Supernatural’s” he said slowly, barely glancing at the waitress who proceeded to dump their food on the table with a clatter. Nicholas reached for his beer and took a deep swig before resuming the conversation “I have a few friends who work there, uhm the owner Yash, she’s one hell of a personality, especially for a human!”.
Reluctantly, the werewolf removed his arm from around the siren’s shoulders and he began to tuck into the burger he had ordered. He ate quickly, clearly hungry after his run, but he also wanted to distract himself. The siren was new in town, friendly, and beautiful, he didn’t need to ruin things by just assuming his father had already tried things on with her.
"Wow, that’s a big deal,” she added, impressed with his line of work. She barely had enough credits to pass high school. Not because she was incompetent, but because she had a lot going on at home. And school never interested her anyways. She preferred to learn on her own and it was evident in her hundreds of stacked books at home. “I was born and raised in Mexico,” she said, before searching for her plate in front of her. The aromatics coming from the food in front of her was a bit overwhelming. She had the urge to eat it all, but she had to watch herself considering she didn’t want to go into work bloated.
The siren could feel the shift in energy between them. It was heavy and indulging. She could intercept the image of an older man from Nick’s thoughts. He seemed vaguely familiar but she still had no idea who he was. Who was he? And why did the thought of him make Nick feel so uncomfortable? She tried to shake the idea as she took a bite from her burger and then her onion rings. The way he had said Supernaturals didn’t go unnoticed by the brunette, like if he was very much familiar with the place. Perhaps, he was a regular. Suddenly her chest began to feel heavy and the delicious food in front of her become unappetizing. it was for this reason she was hesitant to tell too much to another stranger, because things always became complicated. “Yash is sweet,” she followed, not knowing much about the woman, but thankful she was nice enough to hire her.
Desperate to change the subject, Rosie’s hand found its way back to his thigh and said, “...maybe you could take me running with you one day...i may not be able to keep up with you-- but i’m not half bad at jogging.” The girl let out a small laugh, trying her best to lighten the energy around them.
