Chapter 46: Chapter 46

After hours of staying in the hotel, we were finally on the road again. We were just there sitting and singing out Ed Shereen' s songs. George of course was driving the Lemo and the rest of us were pretty much at the back drinking champagne, eating fruits, singing and laughing. Emily who was next to me had one of her hands stretched across my shoulder rocking me from side to side and laughing. She was definitely enjoying this birthday of hers. I can' t wait until she sees her birthday gift although Cindy and the others told me that she hates gifts and surprises. Who doesn't love gifts and surprises?. Cindy also told me that the reason why she didn't like gifts and surprises is because of her father' s death. Apparently he had died on her birthday. But she looks so happy today as if her dad's death isn't affecting her. It' s better this way. Plus, what' s the sense in remembering something on a special day when it only brings you misery and pain. " What' s going on in that beautiful head of yours?", Em asked kissing me on the cheek. I turned to her smiling. " You", I said captured by her smile. " What?", she asked laughing and bouncing me by the side. I wish I could just grab her now and kiss her. " Cody!", she shouted still laughing and bouncing me. "Are you enjoying your birthday?", I asked finally shaking the thought of kissing her out of my head. " Heck yah!!!, I have all my friends here with me. What else could I ask for Cody. I' m just looking forward to going home, relaxing, drinking some champagne and chill; cause its my birthdayyyyy!", she shouted raising the glass in her hand. We cheered laughing. Cheers to 19. So Em is looking forward to going home and relaxing. It' s a pity she doesn't know the surprise that awaits her. A phone call came in on Em' s phone. She's been receiving calls since morning. I wonder who that is now. Maybe its one of her family members or friends.   I noticed that Em didn't answer the phone call even when she knew it was ringing. I saw when she hanged up the phone with no hesitation. But before that ,I got a glance of who was calling her. Her DAD. If its one thing I know about this girl; it's that she doesn't save her adopted dad as dad in her phone. Maybe she changed it or something. Or maybe she has another father figure in her life. Maybe." Who was calling?", Leon asked curiously looking at Em. " No one", Em replied looking at Leon. Did she just say no one. Her dad especially. I don' t think that person who was calling is her dad. Anyways its none of my business. " ok", Leon said with a face expression that said he knew Em was lying. We finally came to a stop. " Guys its after 4, what are we doing home so early?", Em asked kind of laughing. We all got out of the lemo not answering her.
