Chapter Seven
Disclaimer: Half the story's JK's, a quarter is from my benefactor - sasori who's amazing vocab has been used in such a vile way. And then the other quarter is mine. ALL MINE! BACK OFF!!!!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Seven steaks and three bottles of Bordeaux later, Draco melted back into the dessert lounge at Hyes. Rhea was reclined on the opposite sofa while the others were positioned at odd angles around the room. A companionable silence was held. Everyone was full and content, even Shokari. Now THAT was an accomplishment. The last time Shokari went outing and actually enjoyed it was almost over a year and a half ago. LONG, LONG TIME! And now, alas, the Louis Vuitton business would be set into action.
"So, Mr. Malfoy. Modeling is it? Hmmm?", the wine had a... um... diminishing effect on her. However, she was still sane. "How about we do THIS!", she proclaimed, and everyone jumped. "Tomorrow, toooooooomooooooooorrrrooooooooooooow, you come skadadelling to the STUDIO, and we make you try on that new black silk thinger we got in, something like two days ago.", the smile she flashed at him would've made any man sigh with adoration. However, Malfoy, having a dashing smile himself was quite impervious to it. Sachiro looked from her boss, to the new guy, and back to her boss. Then, cracked into an evil grin.
"Black SILKY! WAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!". All eyes were converted to her.
"Chiro-Chan, I think it's time to get back to our apartment.", said Shokari carefully. (OOOOOOOOOOH, I love creating these havenish things where all the good friends live in the same floor of the same building. Okay, maybe not same floor cuz Shokari and Rhea's got the penthouse, but the floor right beneath it.)
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! THOU SHALL NOT COME NEAR ME!!!!!! HEEEHEEHEEHEEHEE!!!!!!!!", came an insane voice. Okay, now the wine REALLY got to Sachiro. Draco himself was a bit dazed, though it improved his mood sublimely. Who would've thought that the day after Ginny Weasley bitched a large on at him, he was there in New York Manhattan beginning to work as Louis Vuitton's model? How capital.
"Right Kari, you do JUUUUUUUUUUST that. Why don't you allllll go on back to the Lion and I'll be there soon.", Rhea's smile broadened.
"AAAAAAAAAAH! She wants to get RID of us girls... and boys!", observed Trinity rather slowly. "Can we let her do that????"
"Yes, come now Trin, we'll all meet again at the Lion.", Shokari said. Trinity stayed put, Nakita - doing whatever Trinity did - stood with her. Then Shokari snarled, "I SAID LET'S GO!".
"Righto old gal!"
"We're coming!"
"Hold ya horses!"
"Ai ai cap'ain." And so the entire crew descended the stairs like a flock of peacocks. Rhea turned back to Draco, composing herself to discuss a more serious matter.
"Now, you're currently residing at the Sheraton I believe?"
"Radisson.", Rhea glared at the pointing out of her mistake.
"How nice. Well, now. We need to get one thing straight. Are you planning to stay permanently? Mmm. That's an up. Second thing, because you are planning to stay, you will need to move into the Lion as soon as possible. Third - sign here.", she produced a crisp sheet of paper with the Vuitton crest on it. Simple enough, it was a contract, detailing that he would stay in the Vuitton business and that his position would be upgraded as he shows talent.
Five minutes later, it was sign, stamped, and done.
"Lovely. Now, tonight I shall speak with the landlady about an apartment. The Vuitton crew has dominate the entire top three floors of the Lion. The rooms are large, spacious, and fully equipped with everything - all you have to do is put the food in the fridge and everything's ready to go." Draco gawked. "Yes, there are pros to working at Louis Vuitton. Now, you'd better go back to the hotel. In fact, I'll give you a lift."
Fifteen minutes later, "Goodnight Draco - oh and here's the address to the studio. I'll be there.", Draco thanked her genuinely and was halfway in the hotel when - "and Draco, about Shokari...", his eyes widened considerably. "she's been through lots.", and then she droooooooooooooove away.
Draco stood at the steps of the Radisson. Shaking his head, he went up to his room and fell asleep promptly.
************************************************************************
"Rhea, we need to talk." Shokari was propped up on her favorite pouffe. "About Draco. He seems rather different." "That's a first."
"Okay, so here's what I'm asking you, is he working for us?"
"Yes."
"Yes?"
"YES."
"Yes."
"YES!!!!!!"
"Great. Okay let's all go to bed.", and the door slammed. Rhea groaned and slunk into the bathroom, a long hot soak in the sauna was an excellent idea.

Reviewers: LOVE YOU ALL! Sorry I can't do individual comments this time. I promise I will in the next chapter!
Notes: I LIKE the Radisson. Bordeaux - French wine. Quite nice (no, I don't drink regularly). Louis Vuitton all the way! I love Sachiro, don't diss her!
LOVE YOU ALL!!
