The Perfect Man

The mechanical bull was in a wooden work shop looking building. The actual bull was surrounded by mats and there was a fence circling around it. There was a big digital clock to count the seconds on the wall and there was a crowd of people.

The person on the bull now has been on seven seconds and he flew off the bull almost hitting the wooden fence. He stood up, wobbled a little before yelling 'hell yah!' The people in the room cheered as the guy made his way over the fence.

"Now who wants to ride this here mechanical beast next?" A voice boomed. A big guy hopped over the fence and got on the bull.

"Woo!" The guy yelled before the bull started to slowly try to buck the guy off getting faster as the seconds ticked by.

"How is riding a mechanical beast from hell entertaining?" I asked Drake holding onto his sleeve so I wouldn't get lost in the crowd.

"How's killing brain cells and risking your life being intoxicated by a pool entertaining?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

"Touché, touché, my friend." I said. He looked down and winked at me.

He led us to the edge of the wooden fence and leaned on it.

"Now, the average amount of time is about four to five seconds. Under that it either means the person is just stupid or doesn't know what they're doin'. Over that means they're pretty skilled." Drake explained. I leaned on the fence next to him and watched people get on and off the bull.

"Drake! Where've you been buddy?" A big burly guy said slapping Drakes back.

"Everywhere I guess." Drake said shrugging.

"Everyone's over here." The guy said nodding with his head towards the other side of the fence.

"C'mon." Drake said doing the same head motion to me. I followed close behind lightly grabbing the back of his shirt so I didn't get lost in the crowd of people.

When we got to his group of friends I recognized them as the people that were with him this morning when he helped me win Jimmy.

"Hey y'all." Drake said smiling wide.

"Hey pal, see you got a new friend there." The lanky guy said.

"Yah, she helped me win the horse race." Drake said with an amused tone in his voice. I held back a laugh. If anything I slowed him down. I literally had a death grip on his waist.

"She was your passenger," Maryanne said joining the group. "how'd that help you win?" She asked kind of rudely.

"Maryanne, we all know you just wanted to be the one sitting on the back of Drakes trusted stead holding into him!" Another girl said.

"So? You would too!" Maryanne countered. The group laughed I just stood there awkwardly laughing.

These people are so open with their emotions oh my gosh!

"Drake, introduce us to your lucky passenger that I am so jealous of." The big burly guy said winking at me.

"Oh yah, guys this is Jane. Jane this is John," he said pointing to the big burly guy who winked again, "Hailey," he said pointing to the other girl who gave a friendly wave, "George," he said pointing to the lanky guy who nodded with a smile, "and you already met Maryanne." Maryanne just raised her eyebrows with a forces smile. Still looking gorgeous as she did so.

"You ridin' the bull Jonny Boy?" Drake said shoving his shoulder into John.

"Only if you are." John said with a smirk.
