Thunderstruck

He walked into the club and was immediately directed to the VIP section where the rest of the team was already waiting. He barely made it up the stairs when he saw her. It was hard not to notice her with her wild red hair, bright green eyes and million watt smile. He stared at her for a second before it clued in that there was an arm wrapped around her shoulders, looking to her right he noticed that the arm belonged to Fiddler. He furrowed his brow a little wondering why Fidds had his arm wrapped around her when his wife was nowhere to be seen. He was snapped out of his trance when he felt someone bump his arm.
"Hey man, you made it."
He looked over and noticed Brendan Dillon standing beside him, beer in hand.
"Of course I did, never say no to a party."
The two shared a laugh and his eyes immediately diverted back over to the red head. Dillon's eyes followed his new teammates and he shook his head.
"Not her dude. Trust me, she's off limits."
"Who is she? She here with Fidds?"
He laughed at Seguin's question, "no, she's not here with anyone."
"That doesn't really explain to me why she's off limits…"
"She's Jamie's best friend."
"Jamie. Like Benn? Captain? That guy?"
"Yep, him. They've been best friends since they were in diapers. She's cool with all the guys, but the number one rule is you stay away from Lila."
"I've never really been one to follow the rules," Tyler smirked at him and started to head towards the table when Dillion's arm jutted out in front of him.
"I'm trying to help you, you're new here and you can have it two ways; easy or hard, it's all up to you. Just stay away from her."
He stared at Brendan for a minute before shaking his head and heading over to the larger group of guys. A couple of the guys turned and greeted Tyler with his arrival, while the other half of the table seemed to be engrossed in some sort of playful argument with the girl he had come to learn was Lila.
"There's no way he's gonna do it, Lil." Jordie said as he put his arms behind his head, resting against the wall of the booth.
She narrowed her eyes at him, "he may be your brother, but he's my best friend. I know him, he'll do it."
"Fine, let's put cash on it."
"Fine, 100 bucks says he does."
The two sealed the deal in a handshake, Jordie smirking and Lila still staring at him with narrow eyes.
Ending the argument with the older Benn, Lila looked over at the newest member of the group.
"Hey new guy." She grabbed her drink, which looked a lot like straight tequila to him, and slowly took a sip.
"Hey Segs, glad you could make it." Jordie said from his side of the booth.
"Wouldn't miss it."
He exchanged a couple more head nods with the other guys and grabbed a chair pulling it up to the side of the group. After he sat down he looked up around the table to notice Lila's eyes on him.
"So new guy-"
"It's Tyler."
"I know. But for now, you're new guy." She leaned back against the booth and ran the tip of one of her slender fingers around the rim of her glass, "still feel like there's only 2 things in texas? Or have you come to realize you're probably one of them and shouldn't judge."
The chatter at the table died down as all heads turned to the lone girl at the table. If looks could kill, Tyler would be dead on the floor, and no one failed to notice that fact.
"Come on Li, he just got here."
"Someone's gotta put the pretty boy in his place, and I know for sure none of you ladies are gonna do it." She smirked and glanced quickly around the table before centring her attention back on Tyler. "These are my boys, you do anything to fuck this year up, and you're not going to have to worry about them; just me."
He never once broke eye contact with her and when she raised her glass to her lips again he nodded. "Got it."
She finished the rest of her drink and slightly smiled at him as she put down her glass. "Perfect." She stood up from her spot at the booth and a couple of the guys stood up so she could get out, "well, I'm out boys. Have a good rest of your night." She smiled sweetly at the group of guys who were all bidding her farewell. Tyler happened to be the last of the line who had to stand for the red head to get out and she stopped when she got to him. She looked up at him, her eyes bright with a slight glint of mischief in them.
"I knew you'd be reasonable." A small smirk graced her lips and she winked at him before passing by him and out to the main VIP area.
Tyler watched her walk away and head to the bar where Jamie was sitting with a couple of the other guys.
"Sorry about that dude, she's kind of a firecracker." Jordie chuckled.
"You don't say," he chuckled, "so the pit bull is Jamie's best friend?"
"Yep. they've been basically inseparable since they were babies. My mom always said she had 2 daughters because of Lila."
Fidds sat up a little straighter from his spot. "We don't know you very well Seguin, but we know your reputation, and not to say the girl can't take care of herself but it's probably best that you just keep your distance. There's plenty of other girls in this city."
"And papa Fidds is out!" One of the guys exclaimed and the group shared a laugh.
Seguin didn't say anything, knowing that he couldn't give them the comfort they wanted from him agreeing to stay away from her, there was just something about her that he knew he wouldn't be able to stay away from.

Lila walked up to the bar and squeezed herself in between Jamie and Cody who were currently in the middle of a conversation.
"Boys." She turned to face them, leaning her back up against the bar.
"Lila." Jamie mocked in the same tone. "How's it going over there."
She shrugged, "I'm done with them." She reached beside her and picked up Jamie's beer taking a swig.
He rolled his eyes and turned to look at the group that she had just left. He noticed that Tyler had joined the group and looked back at her.
"I may or may not have taken a small piece out of the new guy."
"So you did meet Seguin."
"Ehhh, I don't know if meet would be the proper term for it. But he definitely knows where I currently stand on him."
"It's the kids first week here and you've already got the claws out?" Cody said from her other side.
"I'm sure I don't have to remind you of the fun we had when you got here ginger boy." She smirked and took another drink of Jamie's beer.
"You have a point ariel." She smiled contently at both his agreeance and her nickname.
"Hopefully you didn't wound the guy too badly?"
"Nothing that's going to leave a scar, might bleed for a while though." She smirked at him and he laughed.
"That's reassuring Lil."
"Someone had to put him in his place, at least if it's me he doesn't hold it against anyone on the ice."
"I guess so."
"See, I'm thinking!" She finished off his beer and placed the bottle back on the counter. "Alright, I'm out of here."
"Want a ride?"
"Nope, they made cabs for a reason."
"You sure?"
She gave him a look, "Am I sure. Pffft." She smiled at him. "Don't get too crazy now, kay?" She chuckled at her own statement, knowing that out in public Jamie would never actually let himself go and have a crazy night.
"No promises. We might get him to break free tonight." Cody laughed.
"Good luck with that!"
She stepped back between the boys, stopping to place a quick kiss on Jamie's cheek.
"See ya."
"Text me when you're home."
"Yeah, yeah.' She was already walking away from them and flipped her hand at him.
On her way out to the door she walked past the group she had been previously sitting with and glanced back at them. The first thing she noted was Seguin's eyes on her. She looked back to the way she was walking and licked her lips before turning her head and shooting a wink in his direction. She smirked at the confused and slightly interested look on his face and made her way down the stairs that led to the exit of the club. She could have some fun with this kid, if she got past all the red tape of being the Captains best friend.
