Chapter 1- New neighbours

CAMMIE POV;

I sit on the couch, waiting for my boyfriend, Zach to come home from work. Our daughter, Sarah Morgan is in her room, most likely playing with her barbies. I always wonder, me and Zach have been together for 6, had Sarah about 3 years ago and he hasn't popped the question. I know what your thinking, and I'm not desperate, I just, thought he would want to settle down properly like I do.

I heard the key turn in the door, and the door open, then close. Zach came into the living room, with a suspicious look on his face, what is he up to? "Hey Gallagher girl" He smirks, taking off his jacket and draping it over the arm of the couch. I smile.

"Hey" I reply. He leans down and gives me a peck on the lips.

"Hows Sarah?" He asks.

"Good, by the way, we have some new neighbours"

"Wait? Their not-"

I laugh and shake my head, "No it's not Josh and Dee Dee if your that concerned, I don't know what their names are, I haven't been over to their house to meet them yet, I thought maybe when you came home, you would come with Sarah and me to their house"

"Okay, sure" He nods, now leaning against the wall.

"Okay! Sarah!" I call to her, still from the couch.

"Yeah Mommy?!" She shouts back from her room

"Were going to see the new neighbours across the street, go and get your coat"

"Okay mommy!"

I smile, and stand up. Zach takes a hand away from his ear, "Geez no need to shout, Gallagher girl" He smirks. I laugh and smack his arm gently.

I pull on my jacket, as does Zach and Sarah comes running out of her room, in her pink button up jacket as well. We all leave, and walk towards the neighbours house.

When we come to the door, we knock, and end up waiting a few minutes, before a girl around my age answers the door. She had short brown hair, and blue eyes. "Hi, were your neighbours across the street, and we just thought we would stop by and welcome you to the neighbourhood" I smile. She smiles back.

"Thank you, thats really nice of you. I'm Kat-"

"YES!" Someone in another room shouts, probably watching the football game.

"And thats my husband" She laughs. "Want to come in?"

I nod, and shes opens the door further to let us in, I hold Sarahs' hand, and Zach follows in behind us, closing the door behind him. "You have a really nice home" I compliment. A friendly neighbour, is always a happy neighbour.

"Thanks" She replies. I see Zach walk into the living room, and start talking to, probably the husband she was talking about. But, I follow her to the kitchen with Sarah.

"Want some coffee or tea?" Kat asks

"Uh, Coffee, thanks" I smile.

Kat then looks down to Sarah, "What about you honey? Juice?"

Sarah nods shyly, I smile, shes always been so shy to strangers. Once she makes the coffee, we all sit down, and start talking. Kat, is actually really nice, I can tell we will become good friends.

"So are you and-" She asks, but stops.

"Zach" I tell her.

"Are you and Zach, married?" Shes asks. But I shake my head

"No, He hasn't proposed yet" I sigh

"Oh, don't worry honey, I bet hes probably looking for the right moment, guys are always like that" She reassures me.

I nod, "Thanks Kat. So how long have you and-?"

"Hale" She answers.

"How long have you and Hale been married?" I continue

"About a year now" She replies.

"Aw" I smile

ZACH POV:

"So whos winning?" I ask, who is probably Kats' husband. He has blonde hair, and blue eyes.

"Uh, the Giants" He answers.

"So your our new neighbours" I say akwardly. He just nods.

"So your married then?" He asks, tearing his eyes away from the tv and looks at me.

I shake my head, "No, I haven't proposed to her yet"

"Yet? Man, how long have you guys been together?"

"6 years" I reply,

"Wow, and you have a kid? Why haven't you proposed to her?"

"I guess, you could say we never really got to it. I mean, our daughter kind of came as a kind of surprise"

"Surprise?" He laughs a little, "Don't you guys want to get married?"

"Well yeah, I'm just waiting for the right moment"

"I see"

I nod.

"So whats your name?"

"Just call me Hale" He answers

"Hale?"

"Yeah"

"Okay, Hale. I'm Zach, just call me that" I tease a little.

He smirks.

*Half an hour later*

"What a game!" I say, "What a game!"

"I know" he laughs.

Cammie and Kat, come to the doorway of the living room, "Come on Zach, were going"

I nod, getting up. "See ya Hale"

"Bye Zach"

Once we get home, me and Cammie, both fall back onto the couch, and Sarah goes off to her room for a while.

"Well they were nice" Cammie finally says.

I nod, "You don't think their-" I pause, "I don't know, Spies do you?"

"Probably not, why do you ask?"

"I don't know, they just don't seem like normal civillians to me"

"I get what you mean. Why don't we ask Liz, to find out for us? And we will see"

"Okay, go for it"

She calls Liz, and shes says she will call us back when she finds out.

CAMMIE POV:

My phone rings, and I pick it up, answering it.

"Hey Liz, did you find out?"

"Uh yeah, their not spies. They, as it says here, are thieves. Famous thieves"

"Oh wow, thanks Liz for finding out for me"

"No problem Cam, Talk to you soon"

"Yeah, bye Lizzie"

Theives?

I have to tell Zach. I walk back to the living room, to Zach.

"Did she find out?" He asks

I nod, "Yeah, their thieves"

"What? Your joking right?" He asks in disbelief.

"No joke" I answer.

"That is actually, really cool"

"Thats first for you Mr Goode. A good first. Finding our neighbours COOL.

He laughs. "Yep"

*A few days later*

"Zach!" I call to him, up the stairs from the hallway. He steps out of our room in boxers, he was supposed to be getting dressed. Then again, he did look good. Well as always as he says.

"Yes?" he shouts back.

"Hurry up and get ready. Kat and Hale are coming over for dinner in 15 minutes"

"I could always just stay like this" He teases

"No, really get dressed"

"You know you can't resist me" He teases again, but walks back into our bedroom to get dressed. Sarah comes running down the stairs a minute later, in her little flowery dress.

"Aw thats beautiful Sar" I compliment her dress, smiling. "Great choice. Aunt Macey would be proud"

She grins, then walks out to watch tv in the living room. Just as Zach is coming down the stairs the doorbell rings. Their here. I open the door, "Hey guys, thanks for coming"

"No, thank you for inviting us" Kat smiles back at me, as does Hale. I let them in, closing the door behind them. As at their house, Zach and Hale walk into the living room, and me and Kat walk into the kitchen, with Sarah joining us.

ZACH POV:

"Hey man, nice to see you again" Hale say, shaking my hand.

"You too" I reply, I then smirk at what I know about him and Kat.

"What?" He asks, giving me a look.

"Well. It's that" We both sit down on the couch. "A little birdie told me, that you like to steal stuff" I said briefly, making it obvious what I was referring to.

He looks confused at first, but it was obvious when what I said, clicked in his mind.

What do you think? I had the idea for this story quite a while. But that was when I was still writing The Life I Live With You. And now that is finished, I thought I would start this, before I lost the idea completely.

Hope you like it.
