SuperBowl 2015: Patriots vs Seahawks (Or In Dallas: Tyler Seguin vs Jamie Benn)
Val’s POV
We were all at Jamie Benn’s house for the big game. Evelyna had on her white Patriots’ jersey for number 87: Rob Gronkowski, one of her favorite football players apart from Russell Wilson. This honestly was the best SuperBowl matchup to date for her and she couldn’t have asked for a better SuperBowl game.
I knew Jamie was a Seahawks fan and Tyler was a Patriots fan. I was a Cowboys fan, but because they weren’t playing and in the game, I went neutral. But I was secretly pulling for the Patriots, because it was Evelyna’s team.
The game also brought out a fight amongst the Dallas bromance of “Bennguin.” This time, the bet placed between the two was this: If Tyler’s Patriots won against the Seahawks, then Jamie would have to wear a shirt around Dallas, that said: ‘Tyler Seguin is the best hockey player ever’. If Jamie’s Seahawks won against the Patriots, then Tyler would have to give up being on Social Media and Twitter for a week AND get him the puck during the next game. With the bet placed, Evelyna decided to join the fun, she added on to the bets, that if the Seahawks won, Tyler would have to put on a pink princess dress and let her get a picture of him, complete with a crown and that if the Patriots won, Jamie would have to wear a Patriots jersey and find a girlfriend.
It was all in fun of course. And the bets were agreed upon by the two men.
With the bets placed, we all took our seats on the couch in Jamie’s place and sat back. The chirping between Tyler and Jamie had already begun.
It was going to be a long night.
The game began and at first it looked as though both teams were rather tired. But we were still buzzing with excitement. Then Tom Brady, the Quarterback for the New England Patriots threw an interception. Jamie leaned back and put his arms behind his head, smirking.
“Suck it Segs!” he said, pridefully.
Tyler took out his phone and snapped a picture of him. I saw him send a tweet out, it looked like this:
I looked to Evelyna, who was smugly watching them. She was enjoying the foreplay happening. I was a Cowboys fan and still disappointed that they weren’t playing, but I was happy for Evelyna, who had both her teams playing.
She patted me on the shoulder and got up. She walked over and stepped between Jamie and Tyler who looked like they were seriously going to drop the gloves and fight. She grabbed them both around the neck and smacked them on the face. “Stop fighting guys, it’s a game and you’re missing the action!”
They rolled their eyes and began to laugh. The three of them were a little bit drunk, having been drinking. But they were fine and everyone knew not to be irresponsible. Tyler ducked out of Evelyna’s hold and stumbled over to Kaitlyn, who was in a separate chair. He sat down halfway on the chair and halfway on her. He began to kiss her and make out with her. She grabbed his wrist and controlled his hand, placing it onto her chest.
Evelyna wrapped both her hands around Jamie’s neck, hugging him tightly. “You need a girlfriend, badly, Benny.”
“Uh,” he began.
I got up and walked over to the hugging. Evelyna spotted me and instantly let go of Jamie. She flung her arms around me and jumped into my arms.
“VALERI!!” she sang out, as she kissed my nose.
I carried her back over to our couch and we crashed on it. She fell on top of me, kissing my mouth like Tyler and Kaitlyn were doing.
That’s how we made it to halftime. The first half of the game had flown by and it was time for the Pepsi Halftime show with Katy Perry. The show was cool and really spectacular and it was classic Katy Perry I thought. We settled down and recovered from the buzz that everyone had and luckily I had stopped my redheaded girlfriend from possibly making out with Jamie Benn. She apologized to me and we shared a completely non-drunk kiss.
“THE MORE YOU KNOW!!” Kaitlyn screamed, as Tyler had his hand up her shirt in a naughty way. She had her hand on his crotch though...in a naughtier way.
Evelyna explained what she meant, which was probably more of a remark geared toward the halftime show. Katy Perry was on some kind of shooting star thing, which made it look like she was paying homage to the NBC saying, “The More You Know” which had TV stars all make an educational pitch that would basically invoke the feeling of knowing more.
The halftime show ended with the cool fireworks series and the second half of the game begun. The game was close, until Brady was picked off again and the Seahawks went up 24-14.
Jamie began to chirp and taunt Tyler again, but it was more playful this time. And he didn’t overstep and push things. Tyler had calmed down tremendously (out of all of us, the alcohol hit him the worse) and he was snuggling against Kaitlyn. Their hands were behaving themselves now, which was great to see. Tyler had one arm draped around Kaitlyn’s neck and his fingers were lightly stroking her shoulder, while Kaitlyn had one hand draped limply around Tyler’s waist, holding him close to her.
It was adorable, almost. The two of them were happy and enjoying the evening together and Evelyna was happy for them. She pulled me in close, linking an arm around my waist. I put an arm around her shoulders, tucking a strand of her gorgeous crimson locks behind her ear in the process.
The fourth quarter began and things got interesting real fast. Before we all knew it and could place it, the Patriots had pulled ahead of the Seahawks. And Tyler yapped at Jamie, who had his arms folded.
“Whoa, what a catch!? What? He caught that?” Jamie, Tyler and Evelyna gasped, as we watched Jermaine Kearse’s unbelievable juggle catch to keep the Seahawks in it. At first we all thought it was incomplete and then they showed the incredible video replay.
“That good catch. Wow!” I chimed in. “I no thought he make that!”
“Nice English, Val,” Jamie chirped.
“I work on it more.”
Then the final minute came. The clock was ticking down and the Seahawks were in the red zone, threatening to score.
“Come on, come on Russell. Give the ball to Lynch!” Jamie coaxed and begged, leaning forward, fully invested.
The ball was hiked back and Russell threw it toward the endzone for Ricardo Lockette. It was then intercepted by Malcolm Butler to seal the game for the Patriots. There was cheering and a dogpile on the field. The camera zoomed to the sideline, where Tom Brady was jumping up and down like a little kid. He was super excited. And then there was Richard Sherman, who didn’t look happy at all.
Tyler, Evelyna and I all jumped to our feet at once and turned to Jamie. We pointed and laughed at him. Jamie was covering his eyes.
“Why would you--?” Jamie began. He paused. “Why would he throw that? What kind of call was that?”
“Haha, Jamie, now you have to pay up to Segs!” Kaitlyn teased, finally joining in the chirp fest.
“God, you’re so hot when you chirp!” Tyler remarked.
“Keep it in your pants, lover boy. Seggy, I swear, next time I’ll get you!” Jamie vowed.
“We’ll see about that, Jamie. Now you get to be my bitch for the day.”
“In your fucking dreams.”
“Jamie, you have wear a shirt around Dallas, that says: ‘Tyler Seguin is the best hockey player ever’ and then you have wear a Patriots jersey and find girlfriend,” I remarked, smiling. Truthfully, I was gonna enjoy seeing Jamie in distress. It would be funny.
Jamie folded his arms and sat back in the couch. “A bet is a bet. Where’s the shirt and jersey?”
“Well, Tyler has the shirt already for you and the jersey. As for the last part, the girlfriend, I talked to my friend Kylie back in Orlando and she agreed to go with you,” Evelyna told the captain, who was looking highly disappointed.
He nodded. “I appreciate that, but I don’t know if I am boyfriend material...you know?”
“You are sweetie, you are.”
“But I don’t wanna hurt anyone.”
“See, you being concerned like that…you are so ready. And Kylie understands that you’re not Tyler Seguin. You two are perfect for each other. I promise.”
“Yeah, you’ll do great. And I promise we’ll leave you alone,” Tyler added on.
“Just be yourself to her. She’ll love you and you’ll love her!” Evelyna reminded him.
He sighed and nodded. “You’re right. And I could use a girl, since the four of you make me feel left out.”
We all hugged him and then settled in for the night. The next day, Jamie would have a ton of fun walking around Dallas with the Tyler shirt. And then in the evening, he’d go on his first real date with Kylie.

Notes
Haha, so the Pats won!!!! Wooooo!!!! Honestly, I didn't care, I love both teams equally and the Seahawks are a classy team and group. Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson are the best!! I just wanted a good close game, which is what I got. Amazing finish and highly dramatic and entertaining! Best SuperBowl EVER!!!! It's probably how I'd feel if Chicago and Boston met up and it went to a Game 7 with Chicago winning or Boston winning...Yeah. That.
Anyway, I don't know if Jamie actually has a girlfriend or not...I mean he took a picture of himself sitting next to a gnome on the plane, so...poor guy is probably alone.
GET A GIRLFRIEND JAMIE! XP
Next up: That romantic time of the year in February with roses, chocolates and hearts!
