bull riding || MV1 & LN4

Austin Texas - Wednesday evening

"Its crazy."

"Yeah, it was really good." Lando agreed with his Spanish friend.

Max, who was standing next to them just raised an eyebrow and looked at the bull in front of him. It was that kind of ride where you could test your bull riding skills.

Charles was currently on it and tried really hard to not fall down, as the bull moved faster and faster up and down and in circles, changing direction every third second.

"I dont know." the Dutch said and shrugged his shoulders, "It looks really old and I'm not sure if it's really fun."

He immediately had Landos attention, who was just looking over the bar where they were in, but now his eyes were on Max. To be specific, on the whole Dutch man in front of him. Lando scanned his whole outfit and brushed his tongue over his lips before he startet speaking.

"You know, you should try it."

"What?" Max asked back and laughed sarcastically, "Riding that old bull?"

The Brit bit his bottom lip and brushed through his hair, before he put the black cap back on, backwards. Then he winked at the Dutch.

"No, being the bull."

After he had said that there was silence. Max wasn't sure if Lando was joking, he surely was, if he was referring to his team, RedBull, or if it was something else. Meanwhile Lando just stood there and looked him directly and deep in the eyes.

"Really funny mate." Carlos, who was still standing next to them, laughed, "Look how funny Charles looks."

The Spaniard got his phone out and even Lando laughed, so the Dutch followed and the situation was over pretty quickly.

Later that evening Lando somehow ended up next to Max at the bar. They both had a beer in their hand, leaning back against the counter and looking over the crowd.

"You know, I wasn't joking before." Lando suddenly said, still starring at the people in front of him.

"A... About what?" Max stuttered, not sure if Lando was thinking about the same thing.

"The bull thing, being the bull. Clearly you don't want to ride it so maybe you should just be it."

The Brit slowly turned his head as he didn't get a response from Max. The Dutch's jaw dropped, a confused look in his eyes as he looked at the Brit next to him.

"W... What? Why?" Max then somehow managed to ask.

"Cause I would love to ride you."

Max choked at Landos words and his eyes widened.

"W... What?" he stuttered whilst a smirk built up on Landos face.

"Oh come on Max." the Brit breathed and slightly bumped his shoulder against Max's, "Don't say you haven't noticed my looks all season?"

"N... No." the Dutch returned shyly and quickly looked away from Lando.

"No what?" the man next to him laughed, "No you didn't notice or no you don't want me to ride you?"
