Chapter 45

Emily P.O.V

"Why would you do that?", i asked laughing. " What?, are you hiding something?", he asked. I stopped. " No", i said. By this time i was across his legs. I give up. " Fine then, where' s your phone?", i asked curiously. He didn't answer. I spotted it beside him and grabbed it before he could. I laughed turning on his phone. Password." Ohhh, so you are hiding something. What' s the password?", i asked. He didn't answer me. I saw him skipping through some photos. " Codyyyyy", i asked annoyingly. " ok....what' s your favourite book of the bible?", i asked trying to sound smart " Ummmm Jeremiah Ofcourse", he said still not taking his eyes off my phone. " Fair enough",i said typing in Jeremiah 29. It opened. " Ummm why do you have a picture of me on your home screen Cody?", i asked laughing. He froze not believing that i opened his phone. " How?", we said the same time. " I' m a genius, you won' t be able to figure me out. So let' s see what you have in your phone. Gallery......church camp, family members, you went to Paris?", i asked rolling off his feet. " Yeah",he said. "If i' m gonna get engaged, this is the place. The place of romance.", i said smiling. " You Emily Farqueson, want to get married?", he asked giving me back my phone.  I gave him his."Ofcourse. I don't seem like that girl?", i asked turning on my side and looking at him. He turned looking at me. " I' m not judging you but, yes", he said. " Ok. Fair enough. I do want to get married and have children", i said looking at him. " Well, i didn' t know that. Happy i asked. ", he mentioned. " So have you ever watched Sleepy Hollow?",i asked scrolling through Netflix for it. I was about to press ok when he tried to grab the remote from me. Ugh. He missed. I laughed.I pressed ok and he tried grabbing the remote again. " You don' t like scary movies?", i asked waving the remote in the air like i just don' t care. He jumped on me trying to grab it out of my hand. I laughed. " Do you not want to sleep tonight?", he asked laughing. " I was playing with you!!", i shouted still laughing.The next thing i knew he was on top of me smiling. We were there for a few minutes until he noticed my tatoo. " I didn' t know you had a tatoo?", he said tracing his fingers over the tatoo on my arm. " Ah yeah, i got it when i was baptized", i said. He got off me still looking at me. " I didn' t know that either", he said smiling. " It was for my 16th birthday actually. And don' t you go there i believe that Christians and non- christians can get tatoos" i said grabbing a pillow. He laughed. " Are you implying that its in the bible?", he asked.  I looked at him in disbelief. " Ofcourse it is, Leviticus 19: 28?", i asked. He looked at me confused. " I cannot believe that you of all persons don' t know that Cody", i added. " No , i think i need to find this bible verse and read it for myself", he said searching up the verse on his phone. " I' m here when you' re ready", i said pretending to be asleep. He laughed. " That' s your style?. You pretend to be asleep which you should actually be doing right now. Ok....here it is..It says and i quote' You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead , nor tatoo any marks on you: i am the Lord' ", Cody said looking at me. " ok....here' s my view. Notice that it said for the dead. My tatoo is a bible verse, 1 Corinthians 3: 17. It' s not like i have the name of someone who died for me. It' s a bible verse and the fact that its a bible verse it is of the living christ. I mean he' s not dead is he?. He rose from the dead. Rest my case",  i said. Cody was speechless. " I never thought of it in that way, but it also said ' nor tatoo any marks on you' , which means none overall"  , he added. " I understand your perspective but,its not like i can remove it and plus; i believe that the most important part of my body that will matter at the end of the day, is my soul not what i do with my body. Although my body is the temple of Christ.", i said trying to sound blibical. He looked at me in awe. "Fair enough, you are a great convincer. Why don' t you come to church tommorrow?. It' s gonna be an interesting day. Interested?", Cody asked. I thought about it. Since i know now that God didn' t take my father away from me in a church. He actually chose to stay away from his own family. I looked at Cody. " Why not?. I ' ll be there", i said smiling and lying down on his chest. " Great, for a second there i thought you were gonna say no.", he said. " I' ll be there, that' s if i don' t oversleep", i said laughing now. " Right", he replied . I grabbed the remote changing the movie off that horrible sight of the headless horseman. Definately not cool. " Finally", Cody gasped. I laughed and changed it to ' Always be my maybe'. " okkkkk. This is better", he mentioned. " Yeah it is. Enjoy", i said closing my eyes and hoping the sleep would come."Hey it's no fun watching it without you Em", he added tapping down my hair.Why is this guy taping down my hair?. " Cody?", i asked annoyingly removing his hand from my head. He held on to my hand tightly bringing it to his chest. I laughed not saying anything. This guy. I fell asleep on Cody' s chest minutes later.
