A/N: I only own the OC.

This is my new Sheamus story... Enjoy it. I have Sheamus living in Tampa.

Hope you enjoy it.

I was used to getting a few looks when I walked down the streets in LA, but here in Florida I thought that maybe I had a fighting chance to not be as recognized. I had just moved here and wanted to start a new life. I had just gotten my degree in nursing and was going to make a complete career change to what I had been doing for the past 4 years.

I had gotten the job, bought a nice townhouse from money that I had saved up, and was ready to have a normal life. I was starting my new job in a few days. I wanted to get settled in the area so I had some idea where I was going.

I had gone to the store and I was carrying groceries in. I had a lot of bags as I struggled to get them to the door.

"Do yeh need help?" a distinctly Irish voice asked me. I turned to see two larger men behind me. One guy was redheaded and muscular; the other was just as large with black hair.

"Um… I don't want to bother you." I said as the guy with black hair took some guys and the other guy grabbed the other bags. I unlocked the door and they helped me inside.

"Thanks so much." I said and they smiled.

"I'm Stephen and this is my mate Stu." The redhead said.

"Nice to meet you both; I'm Rory." I said and they smiled at me.

"We are having a few people over tonight… you should come." Stu said and I picked up on his English accent. I didn't know anyone so I figured that it couldn't hurt.

"Sure, what time?" I asked them.

"6:30, I'll come get you." Stu said and I smiled.

They left and I put up groceries. I stuck some brownies in to cook; to take with me to their get together.

Stephen POV

We left Rory's townhouse and went to the store. We had to grab food for tonight. We had a few people coming over and I was glad that I had a new neighbor. She seemed really nice and Stu was already drooling over her.

We got everything and people were going to bring stuff. I started to grill out as Stu got everything else ready. I didn't really trust him to cook so he was icing drinks, opening chips, and stuff that that would he couldn't burn or possibly burn down my house.

"Hey Heath, Faith, Paul (Justin Gabriel), Zeke, and Tiana are here." Stu yelled outside. I was glad that Heath and Zeke had brought there other half's. I knew that Heath and Faith were still dealing with the stupid accusations about Heath hurting someone. We had all given statements and knew that he didn't do it. Zeke and Tiana were hilarious, because they had been married for a while and they had funny fights.

Drew, Tiffany, Kevin (Alex Riley), and Eve all showed up a little while later.

"I'm going to get Rory." Stu said and left with a large smile.

"Whose Rory?" Paul asked me.

"She's my new neighbor; we met her today." I said and they nodded.

Stu and Rory appeared a few minutes later and she was carrying a plate.

"Um… I brought brownies." She said and she seemed nervous.

"Thanks, yeh didn't have to… I'll trade yeh." I said as I offered her a beer. She smiled and took the Guinness over the Stella Artois. I smirked as Stu led her into the living room with everyone else.

She was introduced to everyone and seemed to have fun. I was having fun and she stayed for a while. I wanted to get to know here, especially when she helped us make fun of Stu.

"Where's the bathroom?" she asked me.

"Upstairs first door in the left." I said and she smiled as she disappeared upstairs.

Rory POV

I walked upstairs and opened the first door. I opened it and found a bedroom instead of the bathroom. I was going to back out, but the bedroom looked so nice for a guy. The room was decorated in cheery wood furniture with a green and gold color scheme. I heard someone behind me and I turned around to see Stephen.

"I'm sorry, I went in the wrong door." I said and he looked at me. I didn't really know this guy and I was now standing in his bedroom.

"Ah usually don't let people in my bedroom." He said as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Well I won't tell anyone?" I asked him with a small smile.

"Ah don't know… ah don't know yeh very well." He said and I nodded.

"Well, how about you come over for dinner one night?" I asked him and he sighed.

"Ah guess that will do." He said with a smile.

I found the right bathroom and went back downstairs. Stephen walked me back to my house. I was three doors down from him.

"You want to come over tomorrow night?" I asked him.

"Ah would like that." He said and smiled.

I told him good night and went inside. I didn't know where my confidence came from to ask him, but I'm glad I asked. I needed friends; I needed a new start.

Stu POV

Stephen came back. Tiffany and Drew had just left. Kevin, Eve, Zeke and Tiana left after Stephen walked Rory home. Heath and Faith were still here.

"I like Rory, but she looks familiar." Paul said.

"She's nice and I think that Stephen likes her." Faith said and I nodded. I liked her since I saw her; I really didn't want to compete with him.

We talked a little bit longer and I stayed at Stephen's that night. I wanted to stay in the hopes that I would see Rory tomorrow morning. I had to agree with Paul that she did look familiar, but I didn't know why.
