I waited a few minutes as I watched the number of people joining rise.
"Hey guys," I forced a smile, hoping it didn't look forced since we had a decent amount of people watching. "It's Addison, and as usual, Maddox Parker is with me." Maddox leaned in, waving to the camera. "Tomorrow, Maddox has a massive fundraising event he's going to talk about tonight, and after, he's going to answer your questions. So get those questions ready and start sending them our way."
8.1k watching...
My gaze flicked to Maddox, letting him know he was up.
"Hey, what's up?" Maddox smiled. He was a natural in front of the camera, but I guess they prepared them for this kind of thing in his line of work. "Tomorrow evening, I will be hosting a massive fundraiser to raise money for The Maddox Parker Youth Foundation. For those of you who don't know, my organization raises money to help those kids most at risk for dropping out of school, joining a gang, or going to jail and helps them channel that energy into sports and other hobbies they love. We have hundreds of volunteers who work with our kids, helping them find their passions, and we are always looking for more volunteers."
50.8k watching...
"The event will be live tomorrow, and we will be accepting online donations as well as online volunteer applications."
88.3k watching...
"So log in tomorrow evening and join me." Maddox smiled. "If you can't donate or volunteer, log in and share the event with everyone you know."
"The event starts at seven p.m." I smiled at the camera. "And will run through the night." My gaze flicked back to Maddox. "Anything else you want to tell them?"
"Actually…" He smirked, and my jaw clenched.Here it goes. Whatever he was planning."I need their help."
"Oh yeah?" I said. He nodded. "With what?"
1.2m watching...
"I do not have a date for tomorrow's event," he said, the corners of his lips curled into a smirk. "And I was hoping they could help me convince you to be my date for the evening." He knew I'd say no, so he put me on the spot. It wasn't that I didn't want to go. I didn't have anything formal to wear. "Can you guys help me with that?"
The comments exploded...
3.8m watching...
"Let's see," Maddox said, narrowing his eyes at the screen. "Ashlyn says, 'Say yes, Addison." His gaze flicked to me.
4.8m watching... Holy cow... Who were all these people?
"Tell her it will be fun, guys," Maddox said, not taking his eyes off me. "Food and dancing."
"I do not know how to dance," I muttered. "And..."
"Woah," Maddox said, his brows slamming together. "You don't know how to dance?" I flashed him a warning look because I knew where this was going.
"No."
"Should I teach her?" His gaze flashed back to the screen as he read through the millions of comments coming through. "Looks like they want to see me teach you." His gaze flashed back to me. "What kind of live would this be if we didn't give the fans what they want?"
A forced smile spread across my face as I shook my head. He had me, and he knew it. He shoved out of his chair, offering me a hand.
"Why not?" I sighed, placing my hand in his.
My gaze raked over him as he led me away from the counter but still in the camera's view. He was only wearing a pair of dark grey sweatpants that hung low on his narrow hips. The girls watching this were going wild right now. This was a side of Maddox that not many people got to see.
"Stay there," he ordered as he jogged into the living room and grabbed a remote.
When he returned, he clicked on his stereo system surround sound, and of course, it was a slow song.
"Perfect," he whispered so low I was sure only I heard him.
"What are you doing?" I whispered as his large hands wrapped around my hips. Swallowing hard, my gaze trailed up, meeting his as my chest rose and fell with deep, ragged breaths.
