New Beginnings

Many of the puck bunnies had walked away to follow Jamie, but one particularly short one stayed behind. "You stay away from Jamie, he's mine." She said, giving me a nasty look.
"Yeah, for one, I'm not into Jamie, two, he approached me, and three, I don't think he's going to be interested in some shallow blonde puck bunny that has nothing better to do than follow him around everywhere he goes." And I took a step closer, so I was looking down on her even more, "And don't tell me what I can and can't do." She just glared at me, and walked out the door, to go stalk Jamie some more.
I take what's left of my chai, and walk out the door of my car, when a text pops up on my phone, from Jamie. It reads, 'Hey! Glad I ran into you today. We have a game tonight, and by a happy chance, we're playing your favorite team! I can get you a few tickets, depending on how many you need!'. I knew the Red Wings had a game, but I planned on watching it on TV, and I didn't know it was against the Stars! The Red Wings had been my favorite team since I could watch TV. I told him, 'Two tickets is all I may need, I don't know anyone here! You do know, that despite the fact that you invited me, and there is a chance I could run into You Know Who, but I will still be cheering for my team!'.
I get in my car, and start it, and then I head out to continue driving around Dallas, finding whatever was there to be found. I was driving and found American Airlines Arena, which was handy for later. Then I remember to text Marie about the game later. 'Hey Marie, don't make plans for 7:30! I have tickets to a Stars game!'. I put my phone on the passenger seat, and drive back to my apartment. When I get to apartment, I am greeted by the concierge, and I remember to ask him his name, for future reference. It is James. He seems really nice. I go up to the 22nd floor, and walk into my apartment, bringing up a few of my bags with the necessities in it. Including my Red Wings hockey sweater that I'm going to wear to the game. When I walk in, I see Marie sitting on the couch, watching the Vampire Diaries, only one of my favorite shows ever! I sit down, because it is only around 4:00. "So, can you make it to the game tonight with me?' I ask her, and sit down on the couch, too.
"Yeah, I can, I literally just got off of work half an hour ago. How did you swing it to get tickets?" She asked me, and I told her the story of Jamie coming by the cafe, and she was really freaked out that I knew Jamie Benn, and while I was talking about him, he texted me to ask where my apartment was, so he could drop off the tickets. I gave him the address, and he said he'd see me in a few minutes. I continued my story about Jamie, but then she asked the question I really didn't want to talk about. The how I met Jamie and a few of the Stars. I told her I would tell her some other time, because it wasn't a fun story, and I was bitter. She accepted that, and about ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door. I went to answer it, and it was Jamie. "How did you know what apartment I was in?" I questioned.
"That guy, James, gave it to me. And I hope you don't mind, but I brought someone that wanted to see you." He said. I peeked around him, and saw someone that I wasn't sure I was ever going to see after I broke up with You Know Who. Tyler Seguin stepped into my view. It was good to see him, despite the fact that we hadn't talked in a long time.
"Hey! I haven't seen you in a really long time! Why? How has Bren-" Jamie cut Tyler off with a look, then Tyler backtracked. "Well, it's been to long. Who is that?" He said, looking inside my apartment. Then he stepped inside, without being invited.
"That is Marie Savoie. She's my new roommate." I told them. Marie looked up from her show, and looked slightly surprised to find two professional hockey players in her apartment. "Marie, this is Tyler and Jamie. I think you may know of them..." I said, smiling at her.
She stood up and said, "Yeah I'm Marie. Nice to meet you. How do you guys know each other?" She said to Tyler and Jamie.
"She's dating-" And Jamie cut him off once again, with a hit to the stomach. "We met at a hockey game. I'm sorry to cut this reunion short, but we have to be at the rink in half an hour, we gotta go. But maybe you guys could hang out with us after the game?" Marie looked at me, and I looked at her, and we nodded.
"Okay, sounds good. We can find you guys afterwards, or whatever." I told them.
"Just come to the locker room, assume you can figure it out?" Tyler said.
"Probably, but they may not let us back there."I informed them.
"Well, I can give the guys a list and they will let you in. But see ya later!" Jamie said.
"See you later." Marie and I said at the same time. And then they walked out.
"Shit, we better look hot as fuck." She said. "And by the way, do you happen to have dibs on either of them?"
"Well, I prefer Tyler, Jamie is just my buddy." I told her.
"Good! That's what I was hoping! Let's go get ready!" And we proceeded to get ready, and look 'hot af' as Marie put it.
