New Neighbours
Phil Hunter stood admiring the new school photo of his 15year old daughter, Angel. She was beautiful just like her mother-Sam, but with his colouring. She had his dark hair and eyes, but her features were her mother's. She also had her mother's stubbornness and intelligence. For the latter he was truly grateful, for the stubbornness he was not so. Two stubborn women in one household was enough to drive any other man insane, but Phil truly loved the two women in his life. He looked down at the picture of Angel, a devilish grin on her face- a bit like his trademark one. Apart from his colouring she had also inherited his charm, cheekiness and a way with the opposite sex. She used all the qualities she'd inherited from her parents to her advantage. She was top in all her classes, and was teacher's pet, but all the other kids still loved her. She was so popular because she was witty, sensitive, caring and beautiful-making her incredibly popular with the boys. Phil was so proud of his daughter, for inheriting just about the right qualities from each of her parents. He had to admit him and Sam had made the perfect child. However, they still worried about her. Just the other day Sam had to give her 'The Talk' as they feared she was going too far with her boyfriend Jamie Smith (Smithy's and Kerry's kid). But unlike other kids she was just cool with it and said she understood then carried on with her homework.
At that moment Phil was distracted from his thoughts as he heard feet racing down the stairs and the door burst open and in came Angel and her 10 year old brother -Jack (or mini Phil as they called him as he looked/acted just like his Dad).
'Dad, someone's moving in next door. In Miss Patron's old place.' Jack told his father. At just that moment their mother walked in.
'What's this about people moving in next door?' Sam asked, having missed part of what had been said.
'Yeah, next door. Lets go and see what they look like.' Angel suggested. Before either of her parents could contest the idea both, her and Jack had run out into the garden.
'Well we've got to watch the kids haven't we?' Phil grinned, having found an excuse to go and be nosy.
The couple followed the children outside to watch their new neighbours moving in. There was a huge removal van being unloaded and parked behind it was a silver Porsche.
'Whoever it is swanky. Check out the motor.' Jack pointed to the car. At just that moment people started getting out of the car-presumably the family who were moving in. A lady in her thirties stepped out first –she was tall, dark and had auburn coloured hair flowing down her back. Next out stepped a boy of about Angel's eyes. He was tall ,tanned, muscular, and rather handsome. He looked at Angel and flashed her an award winning smile, and she blushed. Next, out stepped a smarmy looking man with slicked back dark hair.
'I don't believe it?' Phil muttered, staring at the man in disbelief.
'It can't be? Can it?' Sam stared at the family in shock. The man looked across at them.
'Sam? Phil? Is it you?' He looked shocked to see them and feigned being pleased.
'Great!' Phil said sarcastically. 'It is him.'
