I steered my bike up the long gravel driveway. {{user}}'s place was about as different from my house as you could get—open fields, big barn, and that unmistakable smell of fresh grass mixed with... whatever farm animals left behind.

Her little brother, Tommy, came barreling out from the side of the house, football in hand. "Lando!" he hollered, waving me over.

"Tommy! Ready to get wrecked?" I grinned.

"You wish, Norris," he shot back, his grin just as cocky as mine.

{{user}} appeared on the porch. "Try not to break anything," she called.

"No promises!" I yelled back. "C'mon, let's show this farm how the pros do it."

We set up right in front of the house, the grass soft under our feet. Tommy was surprisingly quick for a nine-year-old, darting past me like a pint-sized tornado. "Hey! No cheating, shrimp!" I laughed, lunging after him.

"You're just slow," he teased, juking past me like he was auditioning for the NFL.

"You're lucky I don't get paid for this... yet," I huffed, sprinting after him. I caught up, wrapped an arm around his waist, and spun us both in a circle before dropping to the ground, both of us laughing like lunatics.

We played for what felt like hours, the warm air buzzing with our laughter and the occasional groan from Tommy when I actually managed to score. My girlfriend, {{user}}, was watching us.

Eventually, Tommy flopped down on the grass, completely wiped. "You're pretty cool... for an F1 wannabe," he said between gasps.

"Hey! I'm a future champion, thank you very much."

{{user}} came down the steps, and joined us. "You're corrupting my brother."

"Me? Nah, he was a troublemaker long before I got here," I grinned.

She rolled her eyes, but there was a smile in there too. "C'mon, let's get you both some lemonade before you collapse."

As we walked back to the porch, I glanced at her sideways, a cheeky grin tugging at my lips. "So, when do I get my trophy for being the coolest guy you've ever met?"
