The Harper Family: Colliding Paths (Wattpad Version)

Crazy doesn't explain it

Gabby

Dyson and I left the lab after I handed Morgan my report. It's been a long ass day staring at a computer screen. I needed to give my brain a rest.

We pulled up and got out of the cars when Albert approached me. I could sense Dyson's presence against my back since his arm slipped around my waist. So hot. Drool.

"Gabby, I need to speak to you," Albert said.

"About what?" I asked.

Dyson's arm tightened around me, pressing my back against his hard chest. Swoon.

"You have a menace living with you," Albert said.

"Who?" I shouldn't have asked since I knew Albert meant Dyson. But I couldn't help myself. I wanted to witness Dyson's dominant side since it was so hot.

"Him." Albert pointed to Dyson.

"Oh, I will take what you said into consideration." I shrugged.

Albert pressed his lips until they disappeared.

"Shouldn't you annoy some other unsuspecting woman?" Dyson's chest rumbled against my back.

Double swoon.

"I'm contacting the police!" Albert screeched.

"Go ahead. Tell them the Harper family says hi." Dyson shrugged.

"Gawd!" Albert huffed and stomped off.

Did I watch a grown man throw a tantrum?

Dyson's arm slipped from my waist. I mourned the loss immediately. Then he turned me around and ushered me toward the house. A smile played on my lips. Oh, yay!

When Albert approached Gabby, I had this insane need to protect her like Dixon. He looked familiar, but I couldn't place him. I know I've seen him before when I encountered him.

Gertie greeted us when we entered the house while drying her hands on a dishtowel. "Oh, Gabby and Dyson! Did you have a nice evening?"

"We did, Gertie. Thank you," I said.

"What he said." Gabby nodded and pointed at me.

I quirked my brow at Gabby.

"Oh, good. Albert came by to see you," Gertie said.

I wrapped my arm around Gabby's waist and pulled her close.

"Yeah, Albert approached me outside before we came in," Gabby said.

"Albert was acting so strange. His tone turned curt when I said you weren't home. He kept questioning me about it." Gertie knitted her brows in concern.

Gabby sighed. "Albert thinks Dyson is a menace."

"What? Why? Dyson is a lovely young man."

"Beats me." Gabby shrugged.

"I'll speak to Florence and mention Albert's strange behavior toward you and Dyson."

"I'm not sure if that's a hot idea," I said.

Gabby and Gertie looked at me curiously.

"I've met guys like Albert. They have secrets."

"Doesn't everyone?" Gabby asked.

I arched my brow at Gabby and gave her a look.  She pulled her lips inward.

"Well, it doesn't matter if you and Gabby are dating." Gertie shook her head and returned to the kitchen.
