"That’s right. But if you keep biting your lip like that, I might just have to kiss you right here and now."
Chloe instantly stopped her lip-biting.
The bitten spot left a faint tooth mark.
"So, you're not into me kissing you?"
Chloe's face turned a bit awkward, "There are so many people around, can't you tone it down a bit?"
"So I can kiss you when no one's around?"
"…" Chloe didn't respond.
Just then, as the music hit its climax, Damon took her hand, gently pushing her waist. Chloe spun around under his guidance, then Damon pulled her back in front of him, her back against his chest.
"Why didn't you explain earlier?" Damon asked in her ear.
"Explain what?"
Chloe followed the dance steps, facing Damon again.
"All those rumors."
Chloe gave a small laugh, "I couldn't clear those up back then, how can I clear them up now? That's not the point tonight. I came here tonight just to see you…"
Chloe paused.
Damon lifted his head, staring intently at her, "To see me do what?"
Chloe was silent for a moment. After a couple of dance steps, she looked into Damon's eyes, "Today is one of the most important days of your life, I… didn’t want to miss it."
Damon's pupils suddenly constricted, his hand unconsciously tightened around her waist.
"Alright, remember that. There will be many important days in my life in the future, you better not miss any of them."
Chloe chuckled.
"…A billion, isn't that a bit much?" Chloe finally brought up the subject. Not only others, but she herself was also taken aback.
"That’s nothing. You're Chloe, worth every star in the universe. A mere billion, I can easily afford that."
Chloe's voice choked.
Their dance was elegant and unrestrained, a billion-dollar dance, so precious.
