In the morning, Draco woke Jade up for the interview. Draco prepared while she was in the bathroom. "Fucking things." Jade said, her hands shaking as she tried to apply eyeliner. She was so nervous about this huge job interview her hands wouldn't help her put makeup on right!
"Jay you have to speed things up. You have to reach a half an hour before the interview. What the fuck happened?" Draco asked seeing Jade wipe her eyes for the umpteenth time.
"I can't put my makeup on! You're making me even more nervous being here!" Jade yelled.
Draco watched her miserably put her eyeliner on and she threw the damned thing into the trash bin, swearing like a sailor. "Good Lord woman. I never thought I'd have to deal with this with you." Draco said walking out of the bathroom.
"You're just as fucking useless as I am with makeup Malfoy! You're much of a prissy-where did you go?!" Jade shrieked. She walked out of the bathroom and looked around to see that Draco was gone. "Draco?" Jade called. She walked out of the living room and looked around, wondering where he left. She heard voices in the bedroom and she walked in seeing a tired Nessie in her nightgown with Draco by her side.
"Jade!" Nessie exclaimed, her eyes brightening seeing Jade.
"Nessie! How did you-"
"I had the Portkey installed this week. Forgot to get my thank you." Draco said cheekily as Jade glared at him.
"I'll deal with you later." Jade said as Nessie rubbed Jade's face.
"Good Merlin child, do you not have time for facials anymore?" Nessie asked dragging Jade into the bathroom.
"Oh Nessie, you don't have to do this you know. It must be so early in the morning for you. Go to sleep, I can handle myself." Jade said seeing Nessie click her teeth and powder Jade's face.
"I had been working myself to death. Summer fashion week coming up in a few days, so I wanted to look over all my finishing works for some final adjustments. I've even told Draco to bother me any time of the day if you needed me and here I am. Sweetheart, you mean more to me than my work, remember that." Nessie said seeing Jade smile sheepishly.
"Stand straight honey! This is a job interview, not a visit to a sports bar." Nessie said seeing Jade nod. "There we go; teeth." Nessie said as Jade showed Nessie her teeth. "Clear. Underarms? Clear, scent? Oh for goodness sakes Jade Patrice Harper!" Nessie exclaimed.
"We're getting late Nessie." Draco said checking his watch. He looked at Jade who modeled for him a bit, earning a well deserved grin.
"Stay right here, I'm getting your coat and shoes." Nessie said leaving the bathroom.
Draco walked up to Jade who asked him how she looked with a nod. "Like a brand new Galleon." He said as Jade wrapped her arms around him. He leaned in to kiss her lips but suddenly remembered how Ginny reacted when he when to kiss her during the Valentine's Ball. He pulled back and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"What?" Jade asked frowning.
"I didn't want to ruin your makeup." He said seeing her give him a look, as if he was the biggest idiot on earth.
"I think I can survive." Jade said before planting a good one on him.
"Nessie's going to kill you." Draco murmured in between their kisses.
"For the love of Merlin, will you two please hang on until the interview is over?! Look at you, your makeup is now all over Draco!" Nessie said, placing Jade's shoes and coat on the counter. She hurried towards Jade and started fixing her makeup. Nessie paused momentarily and turned to Draco, who wiped his lips with a tissue.
"By the way Draco, red is a great color for your lips." Nessie joked.
The two women burst into giggles as Draco scowled and left, warning Jade that she had ten minutes. Nessie quickly finished Jade's makeup and held Jade's coat as Jade got into her heels. Nessie slipped Jade's coat on and handed Jade sunglasses.
"You can hardly see the bloody sun in London Nessie!" Jade argued.
"No use arguing with me child! I don't care if the moon doesn't shine, you wear these sunglasses! They're wonderful accessories, vintage actually." Nessie said adoring the sunglasses she held in her hands.
"Cripes." Jade muttered snatching the sunglasses and slipping them on. She gave a fake smile to Nessie who looked delightful.
"I should take a picture every time you dress up. Keep memories to show your children you know?" Nessie said. Jade shook her head and hugged Nessie.
"I'm really happy that I got to see you today Nessie. I hope I get to see you when you're not dressing me up or torturing me with iron curlers or straighteners." Jade said as Nessie nodded.
"Likewise. Good luck with the interview! Please don't curse or explode on your interviewer. No inappropriate behavior, swear on me." Nessie said holding Jade's hand.
"I'm getting late Nessie!" Jade said but Nessie shook her head.
"Swear to me that you won't do anything inappropriate." Nessie said.
"Fine! Gosh! All of you keep me on some kind of bloody leash!" Jade said stomping out of the apartment. Draco turned to Nessie and gave her a wink.
"You're absolutely delightful Nessie." Draco said seeing Nessie blush.
"You're not too bad yourself Draco. Have a safe trip! I'll be back in the evening like you told me to." Nessie said as Draco nodded.
"Thank you Nessie, see you this evening." Draco said as Nessie nodded.
Draco closed his apartment door and saw that Jade was waiting near the elevators for him. He stepped into the elevator with her and wrapped an arm around her.
"I can be trusted you know." Jade said hearing Draco snort.
"Yes and I'm as poor as the Weasley's." Draco said, feeling Jade jab his gut with her elbow.
They walked out of the elevator and Draco grabbed Jade's hand to apparate to the Daily Mail and General Trust. "I trust you to earn this job. I know you'll be able to do it, just be charming. Not too charming, that stuff is only for me." He said sweeping her cheekbone with his thumb.
"I'll try not to. If he's as handsome, stuck up and much of a tart just like you, I'll try to resist myself." Jade said kissing him.
"That's the spirit. Go on, good luck." Draco said as Jade nodded.
With that, she walked in, seeing Draco wave until his view disappeared.
