my monalisa under the cherry tree

Chapter 35_Legends

HALEY'S POV

Days passed by and everything had been fine i always spent time practicing with kendrick.its was like having keith again on my side teaching me everything that he knows about music.

their passion for music was somehow the same the only difference was that kieth was more on thye classical side like mine at first kendrick and i had a hard time planning on what to play because im on the classical sidewhile he is into something modern luckily we found a perfect piece to play that may show both of our side.

"lets go" kendrick said

"but were are we going you said were going to have our practice?'' i said

"we've been doing that for how many days already its time to take a break haley come on dont be such a kill joy" he said

"ok fine but if we fail on the recital dont blame me ok" i said

"of course we will not fail our piece is somehow perfect"he said so i agree that we will have a break

"but where is your flashy car Mr.Fritzford?"i said

''we wont be needing it" he said is he planning to go somewhere taking the subway just wait right here i'll just get someting he said the suddenly a white ducati stop by infront of me, i was shocked when the one driving it remove his helmet

and hand me another one.

"hell no, dont tell me were riding that one?" i complained

"well if you wanted to walk alone then you'llnot going to ride on this one" he said in a sarcastic tone

"just trust me ok" he added

i dont know why but everytime he ask me to trust him i somehow believed in him

"then were are we going?" i asked

"just hold on, its a surprise im sure you'll like it" he said and with that he started the engine.hey in case you want to die do it alone ok i said i wasnt really used of riding a bigbike

"i told you hold on" he shouted so i placed my hand on his shoulder but i was startled when he grab my hands and place it into his waist somehow i felt so good except for the fact that my heart beating so fast i the feeling that im hearing heartbeats i wonder if that belongs to me

heartbeats racing like hell maybe its because im a little bit nervous because he drives so fast.wind blew his musky smell making me so comfortable not knowing that i already lay my head on his shoulder

then his voice break the silence on my so called comfortable zone that im currently enjoying

"its polo blue" he said is he talking about his perfume.

I lost my grip because of embarassment luckily kendrick manage to grab my hand using one of his hand while his other hand is driving.i was about to remove my hand because i noticed he's still holding hand.but instead he hold it tighter.

I cant help but lay my head on his back its relaxing.with the wind brushing my cheeks.its late when i realized we reached out destination

i wonder how long i stayed like that on his back

"im sorry my eyes were close that i didnt notice that were already here"i lied

he just give me a smirk and help me remove my helmet making me blush a little bit more he grab my hand and pulled me towards a wide field of green grass

i was amazed of the countless floating hot air baloons around it was a fantastic view.the place looks so festive because of the different colors and shapes of the hot Air baloon

KENDRICK'S POV

I think i got a wrong move placing her arms around my waist

i felt some kind of electricity moving from my waist and into a different part of my body

same feeling that i felt so long time ago

my heart to beat louder and louder. i wonder if she could hear it

i drive as fast as i can to reach the place in a shorter span of time before i'll get crazy of this feeling deep inside me

"hey buddy you came and who is this beautiful lady beside you"liam said

he's been a friend and a business partner as well he organize scenic festivals like this but of all the festivals he organize this one was my all time favorite was this hot air baloon fest

i always join this festival because of the scenic view it gave us everytime i ride these big baloons a perfect object for painting and an inspiration to write a song or two

"this is haley my friend and haley this is liam the organizer"i said to introduce each one.without hesitation liam held haley's hand and was about to kiss when its like i have this automatic reflex and block liams face using my hand.

"yuck the hell did you kiss my palm" i complained"

"not my fault buddy why did you block my face anyway you said she's just a friend,

why too protective buddy" liam said with a smirk

"because your just being flirt again liam, i've known you for a long time cassanova" i mutterd

"im just being friendly you know, by the way o you want to try the hot air baloon ride?"

"of course thats why were here" i said

"but are you sure its safe?" haley asked

"ofcourse its safe darling" liam answered. i dont know but the moment i heard liam address haley as darling.i end up pissed off

"dont ever call her darling"i hissed

"ok ok then, its like you wanted to eat me alive" liam said. he's right whats happening to me that im acting so weird

"ok then i'll prepare the baloon, so which one do you like?"

"any will do its all the same"i said

"of course not,we have this one special baloon where in everyone who ride it together end up marrying each other" liam said

"thats the lamest joke i've ever heard liam, keep your silly legend yourself"i laughed

"you dont really believe me? now i dare you to ride it with her" he said pointing at haley

"but if you dont want then im willing to ride it with this beautiful lady" liam added

is he crazy.i dont believe about the said legend but i dont agree with his suggestion of riding the baloon with haley.

no way!! "ok we will ride it" i said accepting his dare anyway im sure such legends were just heresays

HALEY'S POV

"Are you both ready?" liam asked while were heading into a huge hot air baloon

the baloon was shaped into a cupid holding a bow and arrow

it was really beautiful but my knees started to tremble, i thought i got over my fear of heights the moment i ride that wheel of fate with grey but i was wrong riding this baloon is a different

"dont worry im kendrick wont let something happen to the one he likes" liam whispered to me making me blushed

"the baloon started to go up making me more nervous

"kendrick, are you sure about this?" i asked him

"its ok haley its safe dont worry i'll just stay beside you" he said and stayed at my back and hold the rails for support making me prisoned in between his arm

"no thats not about it i mean about the legend, ahmm you know" i shyly asked him

i was hoping that he is going to tell me not to believe in legends but i was shocked with what he said

"if legends are true then let it be" he said making me speechless
