Kindle Notes & Highlights
He stood up. “We’re not family, heard you… I don’t wish nobody well, so ain’t about to start. You know how to keep your mouth shut. If something gets back to me that you been running that mouth,” he grabbed my jaw gently, “I’m gonna pull it from your fucking face and leave you with your father.”
“I can… I can keep my mouth shut. I won’t say a word,” the man pleaded with his life. I remained quiet, as my sister stared at him. “You come into my office, tell me about the ghost, the legend Menace Caselli, and think I’m going to want to move forward with bringing him down.”
Goon leaned over the rail. “Yo, Dane?” “What up?” “I’m shooting behind this one… keep that Gold shit to yourself.”
Pieces of his skin hung off and shards penetrated all of his body. “I am my brother’s keeper. I take that oath more serious than the one I took to sit up on that bench. He put me in that position to protect this… us.
“Don already told me that I gotta stay with you.” He was double parked across the street and switched to the next page of his S.A. Cosby book.
Stevie turned around and smiled at me. “Hi, I’m Stevie Caselli… I’m a first time mom, gallery owner, and I’m an artist.” Laughing, I shook her hand. “I’m Navy Bleu Perkins. I’m a dog mom, book lover, and a content creator.”
“Navy Bleu, when I met you, I never knew how much of an impact that you would have on my life. Wasn’t really looking for love, and then I met you reading in the middle of a dinner party.”
“Pooh, I find myself thinking about our future. Wanting to be with you all the time, see you smile. I feel high when I’m with you, Pooh. My feet never touch the ground until I’m away from you. We laugh together, and that’s something I haven’t done in a long time genuinely. I can sit with you in silence or listen to you bicker that your Sims got knocked up.”
“I want forever with you, and I don’t want to wait forever to do that,”
“I never witnessed what real and true love looked like.”
“I realized love isn’t complicated. It doesn’t take much, and it doesn’t change you. It makes you better, forces you to want to heal, and give in to it. Pooh, I can’t do this without you. I don’t want to do this without you, and I want to be your husband.”
Squealing and running away, watching Landon get down on one knee in front of my family, his family, and books. “I couldn’t imagine a better place to ask my bookworm if she wants to be my wife.”
“Navy Bleu, stop playing in that man’s face!” my mother choked out, laughing through her tears, because she knew me so well.
Baby, nothing would make me happier than being your wife, Don.” “You full of jokes while I feel like I’m gonna fucking throw up.”
“My new initials will be NBC,” I laughed, hugging him tightly. He kissed my ear. “Nothing but cock.”
“Landon, please no… I don’t even read books that have that word,” I broke out laughing.
“Because I’m going to choose you every single day. When I’m angry, unsure, happy, elated, all that shit. I’m always going to choose my wife.”
It was the same flirty expression he claimed I had when we met, and maybe I did have a flirty look. It’s not every day that you’re reading about a book bae, and then one asks to sit next to you.
“You’re my person. Thank you for seeing me, Landon. Even when I don’t think you are, you see me.”
“Anything for my Pooh.”
Every action had a reaction, so he should have considered that when he tried to fuck my wife on the sidewalk.
Jett purposely waited until after the proposal to tell me about this nigga and Pooh’s little interaction, and while he said he reached for her pussy, I heard he tried to take the shit and fuck her in front of the building.
“Don’t ever fucking speak to her again. Whatever you thought you had is done. Nigga… she’s fucking mine, and I’ll rip yo’ mama’s walker from her and beat you with that bitch when it comes to her… feel me?”
“Oh, you wanna meet Jesus, huh? You look like you damn near there.” I walked over toward her.
He was lucky I didn’t A-town stop on his fucking legs. Had he not been an investment, I would have done the cupid shuffle across those bitches.
“I ain’t gonna be last minute to see you tie that knot… might fucking cry. Depends on my mood. I’ll check in with myself that day.”
Landon Caselli made me feel so good that I was certain he had crack on the tip of his dick. There had to be something, because the way I was always ready to hop on it should have been a crime.
Menace’s rule saved me from making a mistake that could have cost me everything.
