The Incubus System Chapter 338

As soon as we got to the dance floor, she put her hands on my shoulders. While I put mine on her waist. Our bodies moved to the music. Unlike before, I moved gently, following her movements and paid more attention to her than the music itself. Our eyes met each other but only for a moment, she turned in the other direction out of nervousness. I could see her cheeks were slightly flushed despite her thin makeup. A smile formed on my lips.

"Are you embarrassed?" I said without taking my eyes off her.

"A bit. It feels like a dream... That you and I can dance like this as a couple, not as siblings..." she whispered, stealing her gaze at me.

I took my hand off her waist without stopping our dance and raised her chin to look at me, making our eyes meet once more.

"Do you remember, when we were little, I promised to dance with you someday?" I reminded her.

"You... Still remember it?" she asked. Her surprise was clear from her tone of voice. It was an old promise when we were about 7 or 8 years old.

My smile was replaced by a gentle one.

"I am and I'm happy that I have fulfilled it," I said. My hand returned to her waist.

Her eyes, which were trembling in emotion, were stuck on me. I knew she was trying to contain her overwhelmed feelings and her happiness.

"Sometimes... I don't understand why I always stuck with you, no matter how much I tried to forget my feelings or how badly I wanted to give up. But it's you... And your simple kindness that makes me want to always come back to you," she whispered. Her sincerity was evident from the tone of her voice.

Despite her words, she was the one who surprised me with her unpredictable act. Without warning, her face drew closer to mine and her hands moved behind my head. In one pull, she closed her eyes as our lips met.

My eyes widened. It managed to make my heart beat fast. I was shocked. Although we had done a lot more than this, this was different. I didn't mind it, but we were in the middle of the crowd and all of them were her friends. I knew her friends always saw Celia as a gentle girl and this bold act was completely out of her character.

As I expected, her act attracted the attention of those around us. It made some couples decide to do the same but many people's attention didn't shift away from us.

"Woohoo! You go girl!" Amy cheered us, accompanied by applause. But Kimberly immediately covered her mouth, then Kore's voice came from her side.

"Don't ruin their mood," she hissed.

Unfortunately, next, it was the DJ who ruined the mood.

"Wow! Wow! Wow! Looks like it's getting romantic here! How about more romantic music for this?"

His voice made us break our kiss. Likewise with the other couples. As if on cue, they turned to the DJ, showing their unpleasant faces.

But we decided to ignore it. Our eyes were still on each other as if we were the only ones there. One of her hands moved to my cheek. Another gentle smile on her lips.

"You will always be my brother... And my lover..." she whispered. And ended it with a warm hug. Her head was on my chest and her eyes closed in comfort.

A breath came out of my mouth. A smile appeared on my lips. My hands hugged her body to feel her warmth even more as I ignored the gazes around me. Our bodies moved from side to side again to follow the music flow, but this time, we moved gentler than before. A surge of happiness appeared in my heart. It was a pleasant feeling and simple priceless happiness that sex couldn't replace.

"Your heart is beating fast and you smell nice," she whispered.

"So are you," I said. After that, like a couple who were intoxicated in love, she tightened her embrace.

As I enjoyed this unexpected event and her embrace, my sight caught Jenny again. She stood on the side of the dance floor and looked at us in jealousy. Her eyes welled up with tears since she lost her prom date after she introduced him to her friends. That was even worse than not bringing a date at all. Guilt covered my heart once again since I knew I was her source of unhappiness and no one wanted this to happen at her prom night. Moreover, despite her recklessness since she took a random guy from the street as her prom, I knew she did it out of desperation for this unuseful competition. Well, she should thank me for saving her, but she didn't know what was going on so I couldn't complain.

Her friends approached her. Like a professional actress, Jenny put on a smile and talked to them as if nothing happened to her. A few seconds later they were gone.

'I can only hope she will give up soon...' I thought.

Time passed and the sky grew darker. It was a short party and a successful one. We were standing near the stage, waiting for the king and queen prom announcement. To be clear, I was not qualified for it since according to their rules, only Celia's school students could get the title. Unfortunately, Celia also did not get the Prom Queen title either. It was another girl from the cheerleader club who got it. And the king was the basketball club's captain. Well, this wasn't a teen movie where the protagonist would win everything. But most importantly the demon was dead and the party ended successfully.

One by one the guests left the hall. Some decided to stay behind and spent their time taking pictures or saying goodbye to their friends.

While I took the opportunity to approach the security and warned him about the broken Demon Detector. He was shocked by it. After he thanked me and asked me not to say anything that would make the others panic, he quickly called the technician and asked him to come in low voice. This device was as important as a fire alarm or burglar alarm so they should fix it as soon as possible. After that, I called the chauffeur to pick us up at the entrance.

"So where are we going after this? Restaurant? Cafe?" said Celia in excitement. Her hand held mine intimately. Our feet stepped towards the entrance to wait for our car.

"Are you still hungry?" I said in disbelief.

"I'm not hungry. I just want another date," she admitted in a spoiled tone, making it sound like a plea.

We stopped at the entrance which was filled with people waiting for their cars.

"Hmmm... Any restaurant recommendations?" I asked. Although my initial intention of that romantic dinner was to replace this prom night, I didn't mind that. My exam week was over so I had a lot of time now. The only thing I had to do tonight was my usual Ritual. But the night was still young, so I could do it later.

Celia was deep in thought to make her choice, but then she saw Jenny standing alone, separating herself from this crowd. Her hand was busy fiddling with her cellphone.

"Brother... I think we should cancel the dinner." Then she turned to me.

"We can't leave Jenny just like that."
