'New neighbours?' Brian asked getting out of his car.

'Yeah… they've just started moving in.' Dom nods waiting for his friend at the top of the driveway.

'Any idea who they are?'

'Nope. Seems to be just two girls. We'll see. Anyways. You hungry?'

'Depends who is cooking.' Brian grins taking a bottle of beer from Roman.

'Hey man, my cooking is flawless.' the other man laughs.

'What's going on over there?' Letty asks putting her fork down.

'Seems like our new neighbours are having a disagreement with the delivery company.' Dom looks up from his plate.

'I am sorry, but you can't just leave it here.' one of the girls' protests.

'I'm just one person. My job is to deliver the goods to the property which is what I've done.'

'We won't be able to shift the cooker into the house. Please we've paid extra for delivery.' the other girl speaks up.

'Not my problem.' the driver shrugs his shoulders. 'Unless you would like to negotiate payment directly to me?' he raises his eyebrows.

'Oh my god.' one of the girls exclaimed.

'I seriously hope you didn't say what I think you just said.' her friend glared at the driver.

'Oh, come on. Two pretty girls like you. I am sure we can come to some arrangement.'

'That's enough.' getting up Brian jumps over the low wall separating the two properties.

'You are unbelievable.' seething one of the girls glares at the driver. 'Get away from us right now before I kick your ass off our property.'

'Cass' the other girl grabs her arm.

'You heard the lady. Leave. Now.' Brian stands in front of the two girls.

Seeing Brian's face, the driver turns on his heels. Climbing into his truck he pulls away.

'You two ok?' Brian asks.

'Yes. Thank you!' the blonde-haired girl looks at Brian.

'Don't worry about the cooker. We'll move it inside for you.' he smiles.

'That's really nice but I am sure we can manage.' standing by the big box the dark-haired girl tries to shift it not even shifting it a little bit. 'Or not.' she sighs.

'We really appreciate you coming over. I am Cassidy.'

'You looked like you had it under control. I am Brian.'

'Nice to meet you. This is my friend Lucy. We are just moving in here. Are you our neighbours?'

'Hi Lucy.' Brian smiles. 'Nah the house is Dom's and Letty's. Come on over. I'll introduce you.'

'I don't know. I don't want to intrude.' Cass hesitates as Brian escorts them onto the neighbouring property.

'Guys, these are Cassidy and Lucy. They've just moved in next door.' Brian introduces them.

'That's Dominic and Letty, Roman and Tej.'

'Hello.' Lucy waves. 'I am sorry we've invaded your BBQ time.'

'Not at all.' Dominic gets up. 'Please join us.'

'No, we couldn't.' Cass shakes her head.

'Come on don't be shy.' Letty smiles. 'They might all look tough, but they don't bite. Besides once we've all eaten we can give you a hand with moving.'

'Letty is right. Take a seat. We've got plenty of food.' Tej waves them over to the table.

Looking at her friend Cassidy smiles.

'Alright. Wow thank you! I am starving.'

Pulling a chair to the table Brian waits until she is sat down before sitting down next to her.

Grinning Lucy looks at her friend raising an eyebrow but Cassidy only smiles biting her lips.

'Oh my god that was fantastic. Thank you!' Cass sighs sitting back.

'Anytime.' Dom nods.

'So, what about that cooker?' Brian asks winking at Cass.

'Yes, I don't think we can shift that on our own.' she smiles. 'We could use a few strong men to help us.'

'Ask and you shall receive.' Roman grins jumping up ignoring Tej who is rolling his eyes in good humour.

'Right. I'll show you where we want it.' Lucy gets up. 'Thank you so much. The food was gorgeous. I hope we can return the favour. Cass is a fantastic cook.'

'Excellent.' Letty sighs. 'I could do with some reinforcements.'

'Well we are just across the road.'

'Whoa.' Cassidy suddenly stops her eyes falling onto the cars in the driveway. 'Is that a 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse?' she gasps staring at the green car at the bottom of the driveway.

'Indeed it is.' Brian looks at her his eyes sparkling. 'You into cars?'

'Are you kidding?' Cassidy is almost bouncing. 'Is it yours?'

'It is.'

'Oh my god, may I?'

'Of course.'

'Be still my heart.' Cassidy sighs walking around the car. 'Lucy come look at this. Front bumper, side skirts, rear bumper. Look at those carbon fibre race mirrors and shaved door handles.'

'A lady after my own heart.' Tej walks down to join Cass and Brian. 'You know what you are talking about.'

'Cars like this are one of the reasons we moved out here. I would die to get my hands on one of those beauties.'

'Are you just an admirer or do you really know your stuff?' Tej opens the hood of Brian's car letting her peak inside.

'Don't underestimate her.' Lucy laughs. 'She knows her stuff.'

'You not into cars?' Letty asks her.

'Well… I do appreciate a nice car but that's pretty much where it ends.' Lucy shrugs. 'Cass is the specialist.'

'Nice.' Cass nods bending to have a closer look. '210 horsepower, 4 cylinders and a neon valve. Temperature and turbo gauges. This car has been built for racing.'

'Right again.' Brian can't take his eyes off the woman admiring his car. 'Here check this out.' Opening the front door, he steps aside to let Cassidy past.

'Holy shit. That's a dual NOS tank. They are almost impossible to get. That combined with the alloy shift knob and racing pedals… this car is unstoppable.'

'He has yet to beat me.' Dominic laughs.

'One day Dom.' Brian looks convinced.

'This is the car to do it' Cassidy said

'Yeah but you don't know what car I have tucked away' Dom smiled

'It can't beat this…can it?' she asked

Dom just grinned 'ok someone mentioned a cooker to be moved?'

They jumped over the low fence and into the girls' front garden

'It's all in hand' Roman said 'ladies, where would you like this?'

'Kitchen please' Lucy said 'straight through to the back of the house'

'No worries'

'Here we'll help' Brian offered but Roman swatted away his hand

'Man, I've got this' he grinned 'so ladies, let's get this thing in the kitchen'

He tried to pick it up but struggled, his bright white grin faltered as he tried again.

Tej laughed 'looks like someone has failed to make an impression'

'Come on Roman' Letty laughed 'even I could do better than that!'

'It's um… well I've hurt my back…y'know…otherwise I'd have it inside for you by now'

'Sure you would' Dom laughed 'O'Connor, let's go'

'Yeah that's right' Roman said leaving his friends to it 'you save my back now. Always like this, these guys…help a friend out…the best'

Dom rolled his eyes and he and Brian made short work of moving the cooker into the kitchen.

'We can't thank you enough' Lucy said

'I'm sure you could try' Roman grinned

'Yeah dude' Tej said 'I think she was talking to Dom and Brian who actually did manage to move the cooker, not you who didn't move it an inch!'

'I meant all of you' Lucy smiled 'how about we have a BBQ here at the weekend, that will give us a few days to get sorted and…'

'And actually buy some food!' Cassidy added laughing 'we need to find where the shops and stuff are'

'Anything you need just knock on our door' Letty offered

'Thank you' Cassidy smiled 'and thanks again for the BBQ and the lifting'
