10,000 Hours With A Rich Menace (Caselli Family, #1)

by Jahquel J.

It was then that I realized that love wasn’t real. Every person that I loved ended up leaving me, and that wasn’t real.

“Do you solemnly pinky promise to the moon and back?” I laughed and kissed her lips. “Yeah, all that.”

“I’m scared, though.” “Of what?” “I saw what he’s working with… I might die, Skyler. How do you… never mind.”

“Turn yo’ ass around, Magenta.”

asked me how I was doing and said my name right.” “He did?” “Well, he called me Emerald, but it was in the green family so I’m going to take that as a win.

Lupita cooked a full spread, then made my food to the side. These niggas was eating all kinds of mixed shit.

I’m not about to sit there and be the villain in all of their origin stories.”

I don’t want to be without you… if there was a choice between you and having to eat my chicken with sauce on it, I would choose you.”

“Give me a kiss, Wonder.” I shut her up because she got to rambling about nothing. She smiled and kissed me on the lips, slipping her tongue into my mouth.

“Have you ever got head on a jet before, Mavie?” When I hesitated, she rolled her eyes. “Seriously, Maverick?” “The fuck you want me to say, baby? I had a life before you came into mine… I can say I ain’t never had head by someone that I would kiss after.”

“Alright, be serious, Stevie… this is serious business… you need to focus.” I held my head up. “Baby, why the fuck you doing all that talking? All I should be hearing is you choking.”

I held her hips as I stared up at her. “I need to smell my pussy, Wonder… want me to calm down, let me smell it. I’m two seconds from going to the cockpit and choking out the pilot.”

I pulled her to the edge of the table as I continued to take hits of her scent like it was coke. “Uh huh… you ain’t never getting away, Wonder.”

“Because I am in love with you, Maverick. I can’t even think of leaving you, even though that was all I wanted to do when I first met you. The thought of you sitting in that house alone before you met me brings tears to my eyes. You are complicated, and some days I wanna choke you because why can’t you just fucking flush the toilet once… but those are the things that I love. You aren’t weird, baby, you are unique. Different isn’t a flaw, it’s a feature.”

“I’m not that bad for a mail ordered bride, huh?”

If you were not worthy than you were replaceable, and half the time those bitches were replaceable.

“I’m gonna need you to leave me alone ‘cause this is my quiet hour.” She yawned and then started to laugh.

sucked her lip. “Stevie, I will kill a nigga for even looking your way.” She stared me in the eyes. “I know, Mavie.”

I roughly kissed her lips. “Baby, you already knew I was crazy before I slid up in you. Shouldn’t have let me taste it… matter fact, lift your legs up so we know the sperm getting to the egg.”

“Good, because I scratched the Rolls Royce when I went to the mall… the person was too close, and I accidentally pulled in too close to them.” Duke shook his head. “We said a secret, Steve-o… damn.”

“Huh? I can’t hear I don’t have my glasses on… hold on,” I reached for my glasses and put them on.

Claims she hasn’t slept with anyone and has only done her job. Gerald is sitting behind bars because of her… fuck you meannn.”

“I just really love that man… I’m sorry.” I wiped my tears. “And he took my virginity.” “Stevie!” Skyler shoved me. “What? We’re all friends here, right?” Zoya and Kora both looked at me and laughed. “Oh wow, you were really sent special for Menace.”

“We’re dysfunctional as fuck, but I ride for my brothers and sister no matter what. Me and Menace may not see eye to eye, but he knows I work hard to protect him… can’t stand him, but will protect him with my life. We stick together, and now that you are joining the family, we will protect you, too.”

“Let’s get you married… seems like all I be doing is attending weddings, none of them are mine.” “When Big G come home… fuck you meannnn he coming for those chocolate babies, Ms. Lawyer,” Skyler snorted.

No remorse in her eyes as she screamed out that Stevie was a virgin, and she would marry me. I mean, I could thank her because now I was about to marry my baby. Although she offered it up, I had taken it the right way. Actually, I was pissed that she took me as a nigga who would take what wasn’t mine. Yeah, she had to die because she called me a rapist and I was just now noticing it. I

“Teyana was the one who set everything up.

How dare she rob me, die, and make me pay for her funeral? Her mother better gather her body up and use a blanket in that fucking grave. I would take the grave, but apparently her family had a plot for her already.

“Think she got good lungs?” “I don’t know… she look like a smoker.” “Yeah, those lips black so she has smoked some weed in her time.

“My big brother getting married, didn’t think I would fucking come?” “Nah.” “Then that’s where you fucked up. Don’t care how we feeling about each other, I’m there.”

“Mom’s birthday. That’s why you wanted today.”

Corleon walked toward me and held his hand out, pulling me into a hug. “Why the fuck everybody wanna hug me?”

As we stood up there, staring into each other’s eyes, nothing mattered in this moment. Not the fact that Priscilla was a crispy mermaid,

I had to tell her and the world how I felt, because then if somebody tried to jump stupid I could kill them without an explanation. They knew how I felt about her and still wanted to be stupid.

Guess you gonna have to have Thanksgiving with a mini serial killer, Mens.”

“You need to get her to stop doing that shit. It’s all cool until she standing over you with a knife because you told her no more cartoons. You saw that fit she threw on the stairs.”

If me and Duke wasn’t so locked in, I would have emptied my damn gun in his chest for helping her leave while I was sleep.

“She don’t like that me and Angelica still talk every now and then.”

“I should kill Angelica, right?” Corleon put his head in his hand. “What the fuck?” “My boo don’t like her calling me so, ending her would stop the calls and texts… make my baby happy, and get her back under our roof.”

“It’s always Menace you have gone too far, never you are the best and we love you.”

“You got her arrested and reported her ring stolen you fucking nut!”

“She ran off in the middle of the night with my ring and pussy, Jeffie. You lucky I wasn’t able to report my pussy missing because I would have.”

“With the way she spitefully squeezed the toothpaste in the bathroom before she left, she deserves prison.”

He walked back toward the house leaving me and my marker. “I see why they gave yo’ ass up for adoption, bitch.”

“Oh shit, I’m Boss again, Duke? I could have sworn you let my fine ass wife talk you out of a job… where is the loyalty, D?”

“Zoy, I can promise you don’t have to worry about me getting at him.” She was confused. “So, you want to meet him?” “Why did you just call me a stupid bitch, Zoy?”

I smirked. “I’m not who you need to be worried about, Ms. Lawyer.” “Gerald?” she screeched. “You want me to mind my business… that’s what I’m doing, Ms. Lawyer… heard you gonna have some chocolate babies.” “Fuck you meannnn! I’m not having no kids,”

“I got Wanda pregnant!” I hollered off the balcony. The chatter from below stopped. “Who the fuck is Wanda?” Don yelled back.

refused to believe anything else. “Put me down.” “Why?” “I’m going to vomit.” She jumped out my arms and rushed inside. “Oh fuck, Wonder… I don’t do that throw up shit.” I gagged.
