I get out of the Taxi and grab the suitcases and my guitar out of the trunk. Moving them of the street and look towards the entrance of the Airport, hearing the cab behind me drive of.
I adjust the Guitar strapped on my back and grab one suitcase in each hand and walk inside the airport searching for the right entrance that Max told me about but having no clue where to go since its not on any signs so I walk to the Info stand
"Hoi, ik zoek de Ingang voor de privé Vliegtuigen" (Hi im searching for the entrance for to the private jets) I ask the woman at the stand and she looks at me confused
I pull out my phone and show her the ticket Max send me
"Ohhhh, hier rechtdoor en dann de trappen naar onder en dann meteen naar links" (ohhh, just go straight, take the stairs down and then immediately on your right) she describes the way and I smile
"Dankjewell" (thanks) I say with a smile and follow her direction, fighting my suitcases as I walk down the stairs, making it to the room she told me to go to, opening the door and seeing a security guard
"You must be Dylan, the others are already waiting" he says and I can't respond since im catching my breath and he takes my suitcases and puts them on the conveyor belt and hold out his hand
"What?" I ask confused
"Your guitar case" he says and I take it off my back and he puts it next to my suitcases "now just go through the metal detector" he says and I just do as he says
"Alright, just go out the door, the dark grey jet is Verstappen's" he says and I wait for my suitcases and guitar to come out the other side and walk out the airport, still out of breath and see Max Lando and Daniel waiting on the stairs for me, the sun blinding me as I look a bit higher
"You need some help?" Max asks and jumps down the last 2 steps and walks towards me and takes the suitcases out of my hands
"I did not expect this to be a workout" I breathe heavily
"What do you mean?" Max asks confused
"The stairs you need to take to get down here" I say
"Theres an elevator right next to it" Max tells me
"Ofcourse there is, its fine, im here and still alive" I say slowly regaining a normal breathing pattern
"Im sorry im late by the way, traffic was hell" I apologise to Max, Lando and Daniel
"You drove yourself to the airport?" Max asks me
"No I got a cab, parking is crazy expensive" I say and take a suitcase back to carry it up the stairs
"I could've picked you up you know" Max says again and I look at Lando and Daniel who are just listening to Max and I talk
"I know but it would've been such a detour, I still got here didnt I?" i smile and grab my bag and follow Max up the stairs into the Jet
"Oh my god, this is crazy" I gasp, "this is bigger then any flat I can afford"
"Could afford, you're getting bigger. You should feel it" Lando says and takes the suitcase out of my hand and follows Max into a room to put them away
"Thank you" I tell him and look around overwhelmed, taking it all in
"Go on take a seat" Max says and pushes me forward and I sit down in flight direction on one of the seats at the table and Max sits down next to me, while Daniel and Lando sit down across from us
"Plane is ready for takeoff" an announcing voice says
"Okay buckle up" Max tells me and puts on his seatbelt and I copy him and do the same
"So do we get like a safety instructions while we drive to the track where we take off or.." before I can finish my sentence I feel the airplane boost across the track and take off, answering my question with a no
"Just have fun and sit back" Daniel tells me
"Its a lot to take in, I don't think I can calm down" I respond nervously
"Just think about it as a normal flight just with something higher then a Luxury ticket" Lando says like I know what a luxury ticket includes
"Yeah obviously" I say and Start fiddling with the armrests
Usually im totally calm flying but somehow the private jet and being surrounded by extremely rich people makes me nervous until I feel a hand on my thigh and I look at Max who is taking deep breaths, hinting that I should do the same to calm down a bit
Suddenly a bell sounds and Daniel gets up, I guess its the sign that were allowed to take the seatbelts off and are allowed to walk around
"Anyone else want a drink?" Daniel asks us and looks at Max and I and I don't know how to respond
"Im sure they want something too, ill help you carry it. A beer?" Lando jumps in and me and Max nod and I see Max mouth a thank you to Lando before Lando pushes Daniel to the back to grab a drink
"Are you okay?" Max asks me and unbuckles his seatbelt
"Yeah, its just a lot to take in. I would've never have thought I'd be in someone's private jet" I say with a smile and grab Maxs hand "I'm happy that its with you tho" I add
"Well, I hope so we got a couple of hours ahead of us" he smiles
"Yeah, I'm looking forward to those" I say and gently pull him by the sides of his face towards me, connecting our lips gently
"What was that for?" Max asks me confused
"Just because I wanted to" I smile and unbuckle my seatbelt as I hear Lando and Daniel get back, Max jumps back onto his chair acting like nothing happened
"Good, let the party begin" Danny says and hands me my beer and lando hands max his'
"Cheers" we say and all drink, but one beer turned into two, into 5 into 10 until everyone is gone and wasted, laughing at every stupid thing for no reason...
