Page 132 of 10,000 Hours With A Rich Menace

I had my leg crossed, cigarette tucked between my fingers, and leaned over like a single mom trying to do her best, but life kept bringing her back down. “She got me fucked up, Bruster… she gonna sneak her ass out the house last night.”

“How the fuck she sneak out withoutyouknowing?”

I turned to look at him, mad that I allowed pussy to put me out like that. “Ask Duke’s fat ass… you think I should kill him?” Corleon had the nerve to laugh at my pain. “Ain’t you adopted?”

He continued to laugh. “And your wife fucking escaped you…how she got your security wrapped around her finger?”

I took a long pull of the cigarette and flicked the ashes away before stabbing the shit in my leg. “Mens, what the fuck?”

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

“I mean, she’s your wife so why the fuck would she like that? I don’t know why you keep in touch when Jeffie doesn’t deal with her own mother.”

“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.”

“Menace you have gone too damn far this time!” Jeffie stomped out with Gray behind her.

I lit another cigarette and waited for her to speak. “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!” Jeffie mushed me, and I continued to puff on my cigarette while Corleon was holding his stomach while laughing.“Why the fuck are you laughing, she called me crying because she thought she was going to prison…. I had to send over your marriage certificate and have Zoya go get her out and let them know it was a misunderstanding.”

“She ran off in the middle of the night with my ringandpussy, Jeffie. You lucky I wasn’t able to report my pussy missing because I would have.” I went to take a pull of my cigarette, and Jeffie snatched it and dramatically stomped it into the ground.

“You don’t even smoke cigarettes… where did you get them from?”

“Maroon got them for me.”

She looked over nervously. “He told me to go and get him a pack or he was going to fire me. I like my benefits and pay.”

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

I went to pull another cigarette, and she snatched the box from me. “I’m going to see her… this is not how you treat your wife, Menace!”

Corleon hadn’t said a word because he was too busy laughing, which pissed Jeffie off. “Bring her ass home.”

“Corleon, I’m so happy that this is funny to you because when you try to come over later, I won’t be answering the phone, and I am calling Skyler soon as I leave so she won’t be answering, either. Matter fact, you can lay with your best friend since you both think this is funny.”

“I don’t think shit is funny… I know what I did, and I stand on that shit.” Jeffie stomped in place, something women seemed to have in common, and took off back into the house.

Corleon shoved me. “Baby, I don’t think shit he doing is funny,” he called behind Jeffie, and she spun on her heels, sticking her middle finger at him. “Got me in fucking trouble with both of them. Why the fuck would you report her ring stolen?”

“Shit, I thought I lost it. It’s two million dollars, so I needed to make sure that it wasn’t missing.”

Corleon busted out laughing as I picked up the marker beside me and started to smoke it since Jeffie wanted to snatch my carton of cigarettes. “Mens you really need to apologize to her. You do know that you made it ten times worse?”

“We’ll fix that shit when she bring her ass home.”

Corleon looked at me. “She not going to come home after you got her locked up, Nutty. How you gonna be mad because she left you where you had her fucked up at?”

I took a pull of my marker, blowing imaginary smoke. “She went through my phone and got mad because I told her the truth.”

“The truth that you don’t want to let Angelica go because you feel like you’ll be closing that chapter for real?”

“Bruster, why you in my house?”
