Madison's POV.
I was in my cloud nine moments when Russel asked me to dance with him after we had our dinner. As he landed his hand in front of me, he gave me a tantalizing gaze and a very attractive smile. God! This is my weakness! I laughed softly and gladly took his hand as I rose from my seat.
We made our way on the empty space at the center of the restaurant, which he rented exclusively just for the two of us. Few minutes after that, someone started playing the piano. The beautiful background music has lit up the whole place and made it more romantic.
Russel pulled me closer to him and wrapped his arms around my waist. I had to tiptoed a little, so that I could rest my arms in his broad sholders. As our eyes met, a sweet tingle flowed throughout my body. His crimson cheeks has started to turn red. He is like a sexy strawberry!
"If ever you can whisper a wish to the moon tonight, what kind of wish you are going to have?" pabulong na pagtatanong ni Russel habang seryoso pa ring nakatitig sa mga mata ko.
Saglit kong sinilip ang magandang buwan mula sa labas ng binata. Ang ilaw niya ay nagsisilbing liwanag na nakikita ko ngayon sa malalalim at mapupugay na mga mata ng lalaking isinasayaw ako ngayon sa indayog ng musika.
"I don't think I have any wish to whisper. Do you have?" I diverted the question to him.
"I have," he said softly. "and that is to make the time stop."
"Why would you wish that to happen?" I asked him again.
"So that you could be on my arms all night, Madison. If only I can make it happen... I will. I wanted to hold your hand and dance with you tonight under the beautiful radiant moon," he answered almost whispering the words into my ears.
A broad smile was drawn into my face after hearing those statements from him. I took a step closer to his body and leaned my head against his wide chest. Russel's heartbeats were like the most beautiful sounds I have ever heard because I know that those heartbeats are for me.
"I love it when everytime I rest my head against your chest. It's like my safe place," mahinang bulong ko sa kanya habang mabagal kaming sumasayaw.
Naramdaman ko naman ang biglang paghigpit ng yapos niya sa katawan ko, na nagustuhan ko naman ng sobra. Russel's embrace is the kind of comfort I never thought I needed. His tight embrace is an addiction to me. I keep on looking for it and I keep on wanting for more.
"Ikaw naman iyong pahinga ko, Madison. Ikaw iyong pahinga ko... sa nakakapagod na mundong 'to. Only in your arms I could feel that I'm home," he said then he gently gave me a kiss on my forehead.
That night seemed magical for me. A slow, private dance with him, with the beautiful moon just above us. How I wish we could stay like this forever?

"Are you sure you wanted to do the interview now? But we're a bit tipsy," saad ko kay Russel noong mauwi na kaming dalawa sa cottage.
Hindi pa naman kami masyadong lasing pero alam kong may tama na kaming dalawa ng alak.
"Pff. Come on, Madi. Hasn't anyone told you that everyone could be unimaginably honest once they get drunk? You should really grab this opportunity to do the audio interview, while I'm still under the influence of alcohol," he said then tossed himself off the couch.
To be honest, Russel has a point. I can utilize this moment to get an emotional interview from him. I placed my thumb below my chin as I assess the situation.
