“Staci,” Tyler’s voice held a certain amount of shock and excitement as he opened his door and studied the brunette that stood on his doorstep.
“The one and only,” the green eyed girl smiled up at the short brown haired man.
“What are you doing here?” He asked the initial shock of her showing up on his doorstep gone as he pulled her in for a hug.
A huge smile covered her face as she pulled away, “Well I had some vacation time at work and figured it was time to cash in and well I’ve never been to Dallas before, so here I am.”
“And that has nothing to do with the fact that I live in Dallas now.” Tyler frowned, but there was a playful twinkle in his brown eyes.
“Don’t flatter yourself.” Staci shook her head with a laugh. “So may I come in?”
“Of course,” Tyler stepped aside with a shake of his head, where were his manners. “So you hungry, thirsty, I can get you something?” He asked as she kicked off her flip flops and turned back to him with a smile.
“No, I’m fine.” She declined the offer as he shut the door behind her. “Thank you though.”
“You sure,” he draped his arm around her shoulder.
“Yes Tyler,” she laughed, “I’m sure.”
He only shrugged as he pulled her in closer to his side, just before another figurer rounded the corner.
“Hey Ty,” the young man spoke, he was going to ask Tyler who was at the door, but his words got stuck in his throat as he looked up from folding the sleeve on his jacket and noticed the petite brunette tucked under Tyler’s arm.
“Jamie,” Tyler dragged out each letter of Jamie’s name. “I got someone I’d like you to meet. This is Staci,” he pointed to her, “Staci, Jamie.” He grinned as he nodded towards the young man.
“It’s nice to meet you Jamie,” Staci extended her hand.
“Same,” he nodded as he took her hand in his and Staci couldn’t help it as her eyes traveled up his nicely toned arms, to his defined chest, and then to his face. Definitely a hockey player, she observed, just as Jamie noticed the firm grip and the warmth of her hand in his.
He let his hand linger there for a second longer before he pulled away; his cheeks tinted a slight pink.
“Well Segs, I should get going.” Jamie ran a hand though his dark hair. “I guess I’ll see you tonight.”
“Yea, tonight…” the letters faded as he got an idea. “What are you doing tonight Staci?”
“Whatever you’re doing I guess?”
“Well we have a game tonight.” Tyler pointed between Jamie and himself. “We can get you tickets if you want.”
“You can,” Staci’s face lite up as Tyler said the magic words; it had been too long since Staci has been to a hockey. “Tyler that would be awesome.”
“Though you’d like that,” Tyler winked, “I will leave you a ticket at Will Call.”
“Sounds good,” Staci smiled as the realization that they had a game tonight fully hit her and she looked between the two guys. “Oh my god, I should let you guys go then, huh, you probably have you pre game naps and other pre game things to do.”
“Wait Staci,” Tyler grabbed her wrist as she slipped past him to put her shoes on. “Where do you think you’re going?”
“Well I have to go find a hotel.”
“You’re seriously going to stay at a hotel?” Tyler rolled his eyes. “Go get your things Staci.”
“No,” Staci shook her head. “I don’t want to bother you Tyler.”
“Seriously Staci, I have more than enough room.”
Staci sighed, “you sure Tyler?”
“Positive,” he reassured her, “now go get your things.”
“Okay,” Staci agreed as she went to retrieve her bags from her car, and Tyler relaxed a little. Staci may have been older then Tyler but for some reason he always felt the need to protect her, and with her staying at his house it would be easier for him to keep an eye on her.

Jamie leaned back on his heels and watched as Staci walked up the stairs, bag slung over her shoulder, as she sauntered to the guest bedroom. It wasn’t until she softly shut the door behind her that he spoke, “your friend is hot.”
“What you got the hots for Staci, Chubbs?” Tyler laughed with a playful smack to Jamie’s shoulder. Tyler was used to it by now, whenever they went out guys were checking her out, kind of like girls were checking him out, he just wasn’t sure how he felt about Jamie checking her out. He knew that if she came to the game tonight there would be a lot more guys besides just Jamie checking her out.
Jamie just shook his head, because if there was one thing he knew it was that Tyler’s probably already had her and he wasn’t for Tyler’s sloppy seconds, no matter how hot they were. “You probably already have dips on her anyway.”
“On Staci,” Tyler shook his head with a sigh. “No, she doesn’t hook up with younger guys,” he rolled his eyes, “trust me, I’ve tried.” Tyler quickly laughed to himself as he remembered the first time he meet Staci.
“Oh,” Jamie took a deep breath because that meant that Staci was free game and he was actually surprised that Tyler admitted that they haven’t ‘hooked up’ at least once. “So you’ve never banged her?”
“Nope, Staci’s just a really good friend.”
Jamie gave a long low whistled, impressed, “So Tyler Seguin actually has a friend that’s a girl and they’re not sleeping together, nor have they ever slept together.”
“Shut up man,” Tyler said as he gave Jamie a slight shove towards the door, “don’t you have a nap to take or something?”

Notes

So here's something that I've had written for awhile. I wasn't sure if it was worth sharing, but here it is, a short Jamie Benn story.
