They had done it. The Dallas Stars had made the Stanley Cup Playoffs; just by a hair. Thanks to the regulation loss of the LA Kings, the Stars would soon be preparing for game one of the conference quarter finals.

Naturally, Jamie, Tyler and the team wanted to go out to celebrate. And also, naturally, I was dragged out too.

I was currently pulling on a tight black dress for the night, paired with black heels. I threw my hair up into a sexy/messy bun before putting on a light layer of makeup. Once I deemed myself ready to go, I sat on my couch, beer in hand. Once Jamie and Tyler were ready they'd come over, before we'd take a cab to meet the rest of his team at the bar.

Pulling out my phone, I noticed a text from Derek.

Derek- what r u up to tonight beautiful?

I had been seeing Derek for a little over a month now. Things seemed to be going great; we got along great, he was such a sweetheart too. I blushed slightly, slowly typing back my reply.

Haley- kings lost. Stars in playoffs! Going out to celly of course :) you should come!

I wanted to invited him; he was someone I had yet to even tell Jamie about. I wanted to make sure things were going well before I brought him around him. Things had finally seemed right; the timing was perfect.

Derek- I'd love to gorgeous :)

I felt my cheeks grow pink again, despite being the only one in the room.

Haley- okay:) meet us at Shivers in about half an hour! can't wait to see you :)

Derek- okay, see you soon <3

I locked my phone, putting it in my clutch. I eyed the door, wondering what the hell was taking the pair of them so long. Wasn't it typical the girl took longer to get ready than the guy? Then again, this was Tyler we were talking about; he was probably being rushed by Jamie by now.

"The party has arrived!" Tyler announced, finally strolling in the door. I shook my head, finishing off my beer. "Jamie takes forever"

"Oh bullshit I do!" Jamie retorted. "You're the one who took twenty minutes doing their hair"

"Kids, kids, settle down" I interrupted them softly. I felt the seven beer and two shots finally get to me; I was feeling quite the buzz. "Let's go get our motherfucking party on!" I added in a loud voice, high fiving the both of them.

"Someone's already loaded!" Tyler snickered once we all had climbed into the cab. I sat in between Jamie and Tyler; it was very close quarters. I was pratically sitting on Jamie's lap! Better him than Tyler, I laughed to myself.

"What's so funny?" Tyler asked, am eyebrow raised.

"I'm drunk" I defended, despite not having to even defend myself.

"Lightweight" Tyler muttered under his breath, but I caught it.

"Shush" I put my finger to his lips, silencing him. I snickered to myself as we finally pulled up into the best club in Dallas; Shivers. The entire team of the Dallas Stars loved to frequent this bar; and all the puck sluts seemed to know it. I didn't mind; sometimes it was funny watching Jamie and Tyler fend them off.

Jamie stepped out of the cab first, offering me his hand. I graciously accepted it, steadying myself in my heels. Why was it heels looked so damn good but felt like walking on a balance beam? Though I suppose being inebriated didn't help my case...

"Thanks Jame" I thanked him, letting go of his soft, warm hand. He nodded his head, a coy smile playing on his lips.

"You look great tonight, Hales" he told me with a small smile.

"Thanks, you clean up pretty good yourself" I replied honestly. If I was a puck bunny, Jamie Benn would be my ultimate fantasy. Not only was he incredibly hot, but he was a gentleman. He was thoughtful, caring and so sweet; a total catch. But the only guy that plagued my mind lateLy was Derek.

The club was in full swing when we arrived shortly after midnight. The three of us entered together, Tyler veering off to the bar. Jamie and I took a seat in the booth was some of his teammates and brother, Jordie.

"Congrats you guys!" I shouted over the loud music, the group of men all smiles.

"Thanks hales!" Jordie shouted back, taking a small drink of his beer. We made small talk for a bit over the loud thumping of the music, before I finally caught his eye.

"Derek!" I shouted, flagging him down. He was fine as hell tonight. He wore a tight white v-neck shirt, outlining every ounce of muscle he had. His brown hair was gelled back lightly, and the black jeans he wore made his ass look fantastic. To top it off he was wearing low top converse; I was in love.

"Haley!" He answered back with a wave.

"Who the hell is Derek?" Jamie asked me with a confused and angered look.

"Nice to see you" I told him honestly, trying my best to appear as sober as I could. He pulled me in for a gentle kiss, grabbing my ass lightly causing me to giggle like a giddy school girl. Good thing I was drunk!

"Jame, this is my boyfriend, Derek. Derek this is my best friend, Jamie and his team" I introduced them not so formally. Jamie looked shell shocked at first, before seemingly snapping himself out of it and shaking his hand.

"Nice to meet you dude, I'm a big fan" Derek smiled widely. He was a pretty big hockey fan; of course to date me you kind of had to be! The pair of us watched a few games together since we to together; there was something about watching with him I liked. Of course I told him all about Jamie and Tyler, and our friendship. I was glad when he didn't seem to mind me being friends with some stud hockey stars.

"Thanks man, nice to meet you also" he answered awkwardly. "I'm gonna go see Tyler at the bar" and with that he excused himself, leaving Derek and I alone; the rest of the team had dispersed onto the dance floor.

"Care to dance, my lady?" He asked, wriggling his eyebrows. I smiled flirtatiously, graciously accepting his invitation to dance.

We hung out the entire night. After dancing to a few songs I looked for Jamie; but Tyler had said he didn't feel good and went home. I felt bad, but was too drunk to really do anything about it. Instead, I kept drinking and dancing, making a mental note to check on him in the morning. I had introduced Derek to Tyler and he seemed equally as surprised; was it that hard to believe I could be with someone like him?

"What do you say we take this back to my place?" I slurred, feeling one hundred percent drunk. We had not slept together yet, but it wasn't because i didn't want to; the opportunity hadn't arose. He nodded his head with a grin, taking my hand in his and leading me towards the door.

What had went from a night celebrating with Jamie and Tyler turned into a fun night with Derek; and hey, I didn't mind one bit.
