industry. Evangeline and Jacob work flawlessly together; we really are lucky to have such a great team.
At the end of every project Jacob has ever worked he stands around with tears in his eyes saying, “I can’t believe we are here finishing another one.” As we approach him I notice he dabs his eyes.
He should have been onscreen.
“Hey, bitches,” he says between sniffles. It’s hard not to laugh.
I do my best to look sympathetic while wrapping my arms around his shoulders.
“Hey Jakey, you okay?” I pout.
He hates being called Jake or Jakey.
Snapping his head back, he pulls away from our embrace, his hands wildly flaying around. “Do I look like a Jakey to you? Am I a six-year-old boy that just scraped his knee?” His hands jerk and chop their way through the air.
He is so cute when he’s mad. Actually he’s gorgeous, five-foot-ten, perfect tan complexion, short dark hair, and the most gorgeous brown eyes that I have ever seen. Like little pieces of chocolate stuck there. Oh have I mentioned he is gay? All the good ones are. I’m jealous of the man who eventually lands him. He will be hot too no doubt.
“Sorry, Jacob,” I say in a mocking tone that would suggest he was a small child, while pinching his cheeks.
He’s about to sass something back at me when our meeting begins. I can feel his death glare on me, but I have to keep looking straight. If I look at him, I’ll laugh.
Evangeline clears her throat to gather everyone’s attention and begins her speech.
I bet I could recite it with her.
“I just want to thank my makeup crew for all your hard work on another wonderful production…” Her heavy Columbian accent rings out.
I swear it’s the same speech every time but her damn accent draws us in. I can go into autopilot now, I know what parts to clap for.
I sway closer to Jacob and Lexi and begin to whisper as Evangeline drones on.
“So… celebrating tonight?” I whisper to them.
Jacob instantly forgets about the name mix up.
“Oh my God, we have to go to this new club. I was there last night. Which is why I need the dark circles under my eyes fixed when this is over. But it was so great and lots of hot guys to check out,” he gushes.
If he is trying to whisper then his excitement has gotten the better of him because he is so loud that Lexi and I step back so we don’t get into trouble… and to make him look crazy.
“Jacob, I’m sure we would all love to hear about your dark circles and man candy but can it wait until we are done here?” Evangeline smiles.
“Honey, you need to get out and meet some man candy. I think your backup makeup gets more action than you,” he sasses back.
Everyone laughs at them and instantly we all start discussing what to do tonight to celebrate. Kate, one of the hair-stylists, and Jacob begin debating clubs while Lexi and I look back and forth between them.
Here’s a little about Kate—we met her when we started working with Mr. GQ. She is his stylist and goes everywhere he does. A few years ago she was all over the tabloids when everyone thought they were together, but she would just laugh and say “Look how cute I look in this photo!” Any other bubbly girlie girl would drive me crazy, but there’s something about Kate that makes me think there is more to that dizzy party girl. Like it’s all an act she puts on.
“Hey, weren’t your best friends at Slide the other night?” Lexi nudges me.
I shoot Lexi a harsh stare as Kate continues to speak.
“Oh it’s so much fun. The DJ is amazing and the drinks are so good!” Kate smiles like she is now winning the battle.
Evangeline can’t help but laugh and thank everyone for their professionalism. The joke isn’t lost on us. She dismisses us, and we all go to our stations to get ready.
“Well, I vote for Slide. What do you say, Sid? Care to make some page six news?” Lexi bumps me again with her elbow.
“No, she doesn’t,” Jacob snaps back at her.
