The MakeUp Artist Internship

Saturday, November 5

    "Mom, can we move dinner up to lunch? Charisse wants me to see a play with her," I tell her.
"Of course. So, are you seeing her?"
"I think so."
"Jade, have I failed you as a mom? She is older than me."
"Mom, she has some connections."
"I think she is also a fan of your dad's."
"Mom, she has been a lesbian since she was sixteen. We talked about it."
"Well, I had a friend who was a lesbian who joked she'd suck the skin off Johnny's dick. He is such a beautiful man, and YOU look just like him. You act just like him.  Of the two of you, you are just beautiful .,,

    "So, when do you fly out?"
"Friday. He has a private jet for me."
"Do you want me to take you?"
"I would love that. That is what I love about you. You are always so willing to help."
"Awww..."

    At ten, Johnny calls me.

    "So, how are you? Things better for you?"
"A little. I went out with someone last night."
"Scott?"
"No. Charisse."
"Hmmm.... "
"So, how are you?"
"Good. What are your plans this week?"
"Oh, working the election at the West Oak Street Church of Christ. Then Wednesday I get to eat pizza. Friday I am off."
"I got an extra ticket and I would love for you to come with your mom. You'd be home Sunday."
"I would love to."
"Good. I think you need time with your mom.  She misses you."
"Is it the new woman?"
"Yes.  She's upset because she's older, but I really have no say in things like this."

     I meet my mom at the food court.  She has on a cute pink wig on. 

    "I love the wig," I said.
"Thanks. You look really cute.  Where did you get the top?"
"Goodwill."
"You're thin enough to pull it off."
"Come on mom, you're cute."
"I just feel,so gross around Johnny sometimes.  I really let myself go circa 2016-2022."
"You had a lot happen.  A man you loved, lied to you, you dated a real shit."
"Have you gotten to that part yet?"
"No.  You and Erik are pretty happy. You saw the future."
"I thought I did. He dropped a bombshell on me and things cooled off. Check August of 2016. So, how is she?"
"She likes to talk a lot, go to plays, and we're going to Perrin tonight to see a play."
"Just stand your ground, honey. She can get demanding with her girlfriends."
"How do you know?"
"Um, her ex is another one of my clients. Just be careful and know I love you and have your back."
"What's her name."
"Tracey Wilds. Cute girl, an activist like her."
"Yeah, she already gave me guff for working for the Republicans."

    After lunch we did some shopping and I got thigh highs for tonight. I was broke so I had to shave the strip. I put on my wrap dress from the Goodwill over the thigh highs. I showed Lily a picture and she says, "That is so darling. Show dad." Johnny says, "You are one beautiful girl. Just let us know if things get crazy." Scott is home and we talked, Laurel was at some women's retreat. "You look hot. You know, you are a gorgeous girl. ALL the guys at the department love your body. I don't tell them I've seen you naked. Or that we have slept together," he laughed. "Yeah, when I was six. You asked your mom why I didn't have a penis." We laughed. He pulled my hair back. "God, you look like your dad." I wanted to tell him, "Dump him. I will dump Charisse and we can be together."

    She pulls up. I left. "Have fun lady friend." He said. I walk out on the cold, November night. We drive to Perrin. One of my sorority sisters lived there. I mentioned that. She said, "I can't believe that Johnny Depp's daughter was in a sorority." I told her I didn't know it yet. She seemed kind of controlling. I mentioned, "Hey, next weekend I am going to see my dad. He wants to see me, oh and Lily Rose." She said, "Well, I guess you can meet my friends at a later time. You know, honey, I don't think I would be so proud my dad is Johnny Depp; What about the man who raised you?" I tell her he was an abusive alcoholic. She touched my knew and said she was sorry. You can always meet my friends otherwise. They will love you.

    "Good Lord, you are a busty one," she told me over dinner. "Like your mama. I have never had that problem. I can go braless." She loved to brag. "However, you are my buxom princess." I just eat my salad.
"I work on Election Day."
"Yeah, for the Republicans."
"Well, my mom's aunt works for them and our office always works."
"Well I will be out campaigning for Stacy Murden for senate. She is for women, like us!"
"Oh."
"Well, you are doing a marvelous job painting. I love to watch you. You do have a pretty body."
"Thank you."

    The play was boring. I fell asleep. She played with my leg and went under my dress. "Thigh highs, classy," she whispers. "I want to leave right after we talk to my friend Stephen. We have to tell him that he did a good job. I want to be on you now. Scissoring you is amazing." She ran her hand under my dress. "Appetizers," she says. She slides in a hand in my panties. I get comfortable where I can get off fast. Pretty soon I came and she didn't stop, she rubbed me again and I squirted. I was sure the seat under me was soaked. "Hard when you can't say a word, huh? Just think, you won't have this next weekend." She seemed to like to play the guilt trip. She pulls her hand out of my panties, and takes out a Kleenex and wipes her hand. I have a spot on my dress, my bight blue, yellow, and pink 1970's dress. I am glad my coat is long.

    "Congratulations, Stephen, another marvelous performance," she said.
"Who is this lovely?"
"She's my new,girl, Jade."
"What an exotic name. Those eyes are familiar. So brown and soulful."
"Nice to meet you. My dad is pretty famous."
"Really?"
"Stephen, we must be going, but she goes out to see her dad next weekend."
"THe brown hair and eyes give it away. It's Johnny Depp. You're a lot thicker than he is."
"Her mother is beautifully curvy."
"What she said."
"You are a beautiful girl."
"Thank you."

    She grabs me by the arm. Stephen looked a lot like Steve Martin and I found him nice, but for some reason she didn't want me around him. I was confused. When we got to the car she said,"He likes to sleep with women and lots of them. He was eyeing you." To that I answered, "Oh." My arm hurt. On the way home she talked about me being beautiful and that causes problems. She then asked if we could be exclusive and I was so afraid, I said, "Okay". She said, "Now I will give you some more appetizers. I love to make you come and come again. It reminds me of your dad on 21 Jump street when that guy holds a gun to his head and he looks like he is having an orgasm." I smiled uneasily.

    We went back to her house. She lets Artemis, her poodle out, pours me a glass of wine and told me to take off my clothes. I did. "Damn, you're sexy," she said. She takes off her clothes as well and takes my hand, we go upstairs. "My little big girl," she coos. "I love your hair, so thick and full," she said. "It smells like Patchouli forest." I told her, "That is my favorite incense. Mine too." She kissed me. She fiddles in the drawer. She gets out a belt thing and a huge dildo. "Just enjoy the ride," she says. "Get on your knees." I do. She fiddles around with the strap on, but pretty soon she is in me and fingering me until I am hysterical. "I just love pleasuring you. Sounds like that girl didn't." I said, "Well, she was pretty one sided." "Don't worry, Love, it will always be about you. You're my princess. Promise you will come see me after Election Day." I nodded.

    I ended up spending the night at her house. I didn't go to church or anything. She went to the Unitarian Church. She took me and Sadue was there. Sadue was so cordial to me, almost a bit remorseful that we broke up because Charisse swooped in and said, "Uh, she's my girl now." Sadie said, "I am happy for you." We get in the car and she said, "THAT is who you dated\?" I nodded. "She is so nasty. She stinks and she sleeps around. I am going to take you to get checked out. I think you're fine but do you mind going to my OB/GYN?" I shook my head. I needed to go and Dr. Moravec is on leave due to cancer. So, she told me she was going to make me an appointment with Dr. Gibbons. "She's a LGBTQ doctor. You'll love her," she told me. She took me to breakfast, drove me home, and I went up to my room and cried. She scared me.

    Maybe she was going to ease up.
