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

by Jahquel J.

This is fiction Don’t write the book off because the FMC is different. (Cause some of ya’ll be harder on these women characters than the men… uh huh.)

“Here you go, Stevie.” Beans came back with a pair of glasses, and she put the circular glasses on, and that’s when my brow raised. Little sexy blind ass couldn’t even see me,

I remember when I was fucking Kim and she strung her arms around my neck, I nearly head butted her for doing something so stupid and out of the norm for our situation. Even thinking about the shit now had me wanting to call her, invite her over here, so I could headbutt the shit out of her for trying that shit with me.

Her ass better be so happy that she shows me all her damn teeth once I show her all these Legos I bought her.

“You’re too pure for this world and even for me. I understand that but even knowing that I don’t wanna give you up. 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.”

She snorted. “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.” “Choking?” she nearly hollered. “I got a lot of dick, Wonder… wanna touch the back of that throat.”

One of my favorite movies was Ratatouille, so being in the country the movie took place in was a dream to me.

He kept this unbothered blank expression on his face, as if he didn’t give a fuck what anybody was saying to him. I mean, he really didn’t give a fuck about what they were saying. Half the time, he would sigh right in their face like it wasn’t rude. Rules and manners didn’t apply to him because when you had as much money as he did, people fell all over your feet to please you.

“You know they say Paris is the city of love.” “Oh yeah?” “Uh huh. Loveeeeeeeeeeee,” I belted out the words to Keyshia Cole’s song, and both Duke and the driver jumped, turning around to look.

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.”

Maverick had to put the cigar out because I was choking so bad. “Damn, Wonder, I said try it… not choke the shit down,” he said in between pats on my back while I felt like I was about to lose my lung. It was sad to be able to go to Paris and then lose your lung all at the same time. “I’m…I’m alright.” I accepted the champagne and choked it down to help with the burning sensation in my chest. “I was trying to be sexy.” “Yeah, and almost fucking died.” He started laughing

“You are what home feels like to me, Wonder. My house has never felt like home until you came. I wanted to ignore how I felt about you, but I couldn’t…. you wouldn’t allow me to. Always there with that smile on your face, being you. Baby, you are you without any apologies. You accept me and all that comes with me without judging me. Stevie, you are my safe place, and my biggest trigger. You see past Menace and see me in a way that I never let anyone else see me. You love me with all my flaws and shit because you love me. You are my home, and I want this with you forever. I want to smell yo’ pussy every time I need to calm down…I wanna eat that shit right now, too.” “This fucking man,” I heard Duke laugh behind me

“I want to hear you hum me to sleep while rubbing my beard every night. You got me fucked up, I can’t even sleep without you next to me now… this started out one way, but I want it to end another way… Stevie, will you spend forever with me… never leave me?” Her face was soaked as she stood there, kneeling down in front of me. “Maverick Kojack Caselli,” she started. I pulled away from her quickly. “Why the fuck do you keep making up names, Wanda? That ain’t even my middle name… I don’t have a middle name.”

She snorted while laughing through her tears, holding my face. “I want to make up names with you for the rest of my life. I want to love you and feel the love that you give me, Mitchell. I want to make your smoothies and separate your sauce from your chicken forever.” She ...

“I told you to pack the night before with me and you wanted to wait until the morning. This shit is unacceptable, Wonder… why the fuck would you ever do that shit to the toothpaste?” All I heard was Maverick ranting as I came from under the covers.

So much was happening at one time as I held my hand up to silence him for a second. “Huh? I can’t hear I don’t have my glasses on… hold on,” I reached for my glasses and put them on. Maverick stood there for a second before he spoke. “Wonder that don’t even make fucking sense.” “It makes a lot of sense to me… I can now hear you. What are you ranting about, Mavie?” I yawned

“I fucked up… when Skyler told me that shit, I thought she was joking ‘cause she slow. You let me slide up in you, take your virginity and now I can’t get rid of you because I’m all in love… all for you to do this,” he walked closer to me and shoved the toothpaste tube in my face. “What’s wrong with it?” “Wanda, why the fuck are you strong arming the damn toothpaste like this? You got eight set of teeth up in that mouth? I would know, my dick been in there… I ain’t feel extra sets of teeth where you would need to use this damn much and squeeze the shit like this.” He was full on crashing out about the toothpaste and was serious.

“I know you need to stop all that yelling… you sound crazy.” I yawned. “Ahhhh!” I screamed when he jumped onto the bed and was now in my face. “Do I, Wanda? ‘Cause I wouldn’t be set off this early if you wasn’t in there fucking the toothpaste. Then you out here teaching babies… My God daughter to do the same thing.” “What in the fuck is wrong with him?” I looked at Duke who shrugged his shoulders and waited for him to finish with me.

He stormed back into the room, slamming the door behind him pacing in front of me. All he had to do was look at me, and I pulled the blankets from me as he climbed into the bed between my legs. Like I was his personal drug, he kissed the inside of my thighs as he nudged his nose in between my legs and inhaled, while I rubbed his head.

“I think it would be nice to do something as a family before the baby gets here.” Kora and Zoya both gasped super loud. “What? I’m going to be an aunt?” “Oh, I have to start shopping now… I’m going to be Auntie Z... the fine rich one.” Zoya sat on the edge of her chair excited like Kora. “Well, the baby is gonna have two fine aunts because Auntie K is fine, too, and she’s rich too.” “I’m not pregnant, but you see how excited you were? Let’s keep that same energy for spending the holidays together.” “Stevie, what the hell?” Zoya tossed a pillow at me.

When my phone started ringing, I looked down and saw Maverick’s name. I picked it up and held it to my ear. “Hey Mavie.” “What up, Wonder?” “Nothing. I’m getting my makeup done.” He chuckled. “Will I be able to count your freckles?” “Yes.” “I was calling to make sure you still wanted to kick it with me for forever?”

“Throw it back… harder… fuck me as hard as you be squeezing that toothpaste.”

“Get the fuck out my room you creep. I have a husband, and I will call him to come and kill you!” I hollered, while still hiding behind my cousin. Skyler started to choke. “Put that cigarette out now… and get the fuck out. I am armed.” “Me too.” I nearly passed out when Menace slid from underneath the bed with a cigarette tucked between his lips. “MAVERICK!” I screamed. “What up, Boo?” Skyler put her gun down and took a deep breath. “I don’t even know what to say. Why in the hell are you in our apartment?”

Stevie Caselli was one of a kind, and I would smoke a whole carton of cigarettes if she left me again. I was considering buying me a little jail so if she tried to leave the next time I could lock her ass up, and it would just be us in jail together. I was downright crazy about Wanda.

I had fell in love with the man that took me to meet his dead parents on our first date. It didn’t get any crazier than Maverick, and I wouldn’t trade my sexy mental patient for the world. Long as he could smell me when he was about to hit the roof, all would be great in the world.

“I love you, Wanda.” “Love you, Mitchell.” I was Stevie Caselli, and I was married to the ghost, the rumor, the Menace Caselli.
