Pre-birthday post, eek!🎉

"Well it really wasn't necessary."

"You eat like a toddler Hiro." Madison mocked him.

Since Julia had left her in the restaurant to go for dessert with Grayson, Madison was forced to ask him for a lift home, paying his dinner in exchange.

"If I ate like Julia, we wouldn't be having this conversation, would we?" He jokes walking to the parking lot. "Abs are made in the kitchen haven't you heard of?"

"What abs? I've never seen your abs, when I hug you, you feel like a giant bagel."

"You've never seen me naked Madison."

His straight forwardness hit her like a slap, she wasn't used to it and the fact that she couldn't control the growing redness in her face was even more humiliating.

"Are you offering?" She pauses once they arrive. "Saving on meals but spending on wheels, huh?"

"That's how we roll baby."

"Let me drive!"

"Do you have a driver's license?"

"Yes, at home."

"And that's precisely where I want us to get and not to jail."

"Hiro please! I know the roads better than you!"

Hiro paused, staring at her for a long second and he shrugged, throwing her the keys. Madison squeaked excitedly, unlocking the Audi RS7. They hopped in the dark leather interior vehicle.

"This surely feels different from Jules's Toyota IQ." She comments leaving the parking lot very slowly onto the road.

Hiro clicked something, the sunroof opened and moon shined down. She lost her gaze momentarily to the sky.

The shiny moon reflected the night, serving as a natural light for the highway. It was a beautiful evening, probably the last summer night before winter hit. Hiro leans the back of his seat further down and turns on the radio, playing Sign of the Times by Harry Styles. His singing was pleasantly remarkable hitting the high notes of the song.

"And you can sing?" Madison giggles. "Britain's got talent, where did you learn?"

"Showering, school." He yawns softly. "But mum said that wouldn't pay bills so, 3 years of accounting and finance, a short term course in Business Management and here I am a sad song singer during traffic time." He yawns again relaxing even more in his chair.

"Sleepy much?" She asks.

"Illegal driving, dead man hiding."

Madison slaps him and they laugh hard. "I'm kidding woman, yes I am a little bit tired."

"Thank god you have me to drive you illegally, although that explains why you didn't give much of a fight when I asked to."

"It wouldn't work anyway... Even if I tried, I wouldn't keep my eyes on the road."

"Why so?"

"Because I can't keep my eyes off of you."

A sweet heavy silence fell between them, they watched each other, long and heatedly as the cold air of the night slowly switched to the warm atmosphere of their breathings. Hiro looked gorgeous half-asleep, half awake, smiling under the moonlight.

"Wipe off that cheeky smile of your face." She murmurs humorously.

"You don't like it?" He laced his fingers over his stomach with his deep brown eyes analyzing her.
