Captains privilege a Sidney Crosby fan fiction

I'd never been to the keystone state . Not even with relatives living in and around the major cites . But when I was in my second year of collage an old friend sent me a wedding invite. She'd been going to the university of Pittsburgh , attempting a microbiology degree. She'd met her fiancé Nathan in her bio 210 lab. They where lab partners and had fallen for each other. So Sarah sent me an invitation they where to be married at the country club on November 16th. I rsvp after all Sarah and I had been best friends in high school. Not only did it give me the chance to see an old friend ,but maybe even catch a penguins game.
I'd been a fan of the Pittsburgh penguins since I was in Middle school I was around for both lockouts and for our cup win In 2009. I liked a lot of the guys on the team , Neal , Kunitz , Fleury , Malkin . But my all time favorite player was none other then number 87 Sidney Crosby. One of the greatest players in the league , without a doubt in my mind. I booked my tickets to the steel city. The months passed and before I knew it I was on my way to Pittsburgh. I landed around 3 o clock and headed over to the hotel. I was staying at the priory hotel . It was four stars if I was going to be here for 2 weeks I wanted to be as comfortable as possible.
I got settled in and unpacked , tonight was the bachoalrette party . We where going to dinner and then going to a few clubs around the city. I took my time showering and getting ready . I'd choice to wear a light green mini dress silver earrings and black stilettos. I grabbed my clutch and headed out. I hailed a cab and told the cabbie the address to the restaurant. When I arrived the hotels directed me to one of the private dinning rooms . Dinner had just gotten started and I greeted those around me hugging Sarah .
"Thanks for the invite Sarah I wouldn't miss your marriage for the world . "
" Of course , I couldn't leave you out , you ready for the time of your life . "
" well duh ... I'm super excited to let go and enjoy myself , collage and work has been super stressful "
" Well what do you expect from vet school , I told you it wasn't gonna be a walk in the park "
"Look who's talking miss microbiology " we laughed and took seats next to each other starting to look at the menu and ordering some drinks . Dinner went swimmingly laughing and catching up with the others around me . When dinner was over those of us that were going on to club hop all 7 of us hopped in the limo that Sarah had rented. First stop of the night Blush , we had a few drinks at the club danced some and moved onto the next . After servel clubs I wasn't exactly sober but I wasn't shitfaced ether . We strolled into one of the hottest night clubs in the city Dusk . All the hottest people came to Dusk I wondered if I'd see someone famous. I had a few drinks danced a little but mostly I sat in our private booth on bottle service watching people . I looked down at my phone , checking my email . I didn't notice the man approach the booth until he spoke .
" Mind if I sit here I noticed you were alone . "
Even in the half dark club I recognized the 5'11 frame of the captain of the Pittsburgh penguins . I began to fan girl internal , but kept my cool on the outside . Before speaking " Sure I don't mind " I slide over to allow him to slip into the booth . I kept reminding myself not to freak out and be one of those crazy fan girls I didn't need a restraining order against me . Phrasing my words careful I spoke . " I wouldn't expect you to be the club type . " that was safe I was indirectly acknowledging I knew who he was but wasn't intimidated by his status , secretly I was shaking like a leaf I mean I was only sitting next to one of the best hockey players in the NHL .
he laughed softly and spoke .
" Your assumption would be correct , but some of the guys thought I should get out and enjoy myself , stop worrying about hockey so much ."
Woah did he same some of the guys , as in some of the team had dragged him out to the club . I could only guess who that could be . " well the least you could do would be amuse them and let your hair Down I mean I'm no expert but you seem like you work very hard . "
" I do I take what I do seriously. "
" that's always been obvious to me at least , I mean watching your interviews you come off that way . " damn that was awkward . Please don't walk away. Please .
" Well when your getting paid so much , to play a game you've loved ever since you where a kid you don't take things lightly, Your not from around here are you . "
I nodded " no I'm not , I'm in town for a friends wedding . I'm hoping to catch a game while I'm here . If I can get tickets that is ." I was stupid and hadn't thought to get tickets I mean they were playing Ottawa it's not like they where playing . Philly or some other major rival.
"I could get you tickets, that is if you'd let me . "
Did he just offer to get tickets for me? I mean I knew being captain had its, perks but why would he buy a girl he barely even knew tickets."You'd do that for me , you barely even know me . "
" yeah but I can tell you take the game seriously and aren't just a puck bunny ."
I blushed , " thanks , but you really don't have to . "
" But I'm going to, can I get your name for the tickets ?"
" I'm Claire " I smiled softly " thank you for this . I don't want to be one of those rapid fan girls but I'd love an autograph "I pulled a pen from my purse and pushed a napkin his way . I'd never get another chance to be this close to him mine as well take advantage of the moment .
" Sure " he took the napkin and signed it making out more in his autograph that I couldn't tell I folded the napkin carefully and put it away In my hand bag. Thanking him Again.
" it's been lovely talking to you Claire but I should probably get back to the guys before they think I left the place with someone ."
I giggled knowing he was the least likely person to do so . I thanked him Again for the autograph and the tickets and told him I'd be cheating for him at the game. He left me after saying goodbye and promising me those will call tickets.
