To Love a Man Read Online Free PDF

She was lost in thought and didn’t even hear Charles walk up behind her.
    “Desi what are you doing out here?”
    Desiree jumped as she turned to face Charles. In the setting of the sun, he looked like the man she fell in love with. She met Charles back in high school she was 14 at the time. It was love at first sight. He was tall, dark, and handsome. Smart and so sweet to her. He was three years older than she and because was so young all they could be was friends.  When turned 16 she wanted to badly to be his but he was into her friend at the time.
    They remained friends throughout the years and when she needed a date to the Senior Prom Charles agreed to go. When he picked her up for the dance his eyes widened at how beautiful she looked in her sea foam dress that had an empire wrapped waistline with sprinkled beaded crystals down the dress. Her matching high heeled sandals were covered by her ball gown skirt. Her hair was pulled up into a high ponytail with spiral curls falling to her face. He managed to get out a “wow” before he moved towards her.
    He wore a black tux with a sea foam vest which went nice with his milk chocolate complexion. That was the day he saw her for a woman and not some little girl and she saw him as the man she would marry. They danced the night away and at the end of the night, when he walked her to her door. Charles looked her in her eyes and told her he could fall in love with her. Then they shared their first kiss. It filled her stomach with butterflies and everything she wished for had come true.
    He cleared his throat and she was brought back to reality. She looked up to his 6’1 height and had always loved how he towered over her. The only thing that hadn’t changed about him throughout the years was his golden brown eyes. She spent many hours a night just staring into them, falling in love with the compassion and love that shined through when she looked at them.
    His body was much more defined. She could see through his skin tight black tee-shirt that his shoulders were broader, his chest flat and hard. She saw through his black jeans that his thighs were strong and lean. She looked to his face and had to turn away. He was pulling her back in and wasn’t even doing anything.
    “I just came out for some air.”
    He stepped closer to her. “You know you are still as beautiful as the day I married you.”
    “Really and what about the day I filed for divorce? How did I look to you then?” she asked looking at him.
    “Like a pissed off beauty” he grinned.
    “Funny.”
    She gave a fake laugh and walked pass him. He sighed deeply.
    “Talk to me Desi please.”
    She turned towards him.
    “About?”
    “How have you been?”
    “We haven’t spoken in years and all you can say to me is “how have you been?’”
    “I really want to know.”
    “Why?”
    “It was just a question.”
    “Well here is the answer I have been struggling to take care of your son because you refused to pay child support” she fumed.
    “I didn’t refuse we got joint custody therefore I wasn’t ordered to pay anything.” He stated as he saw the anger fill her eyes.
    “Except for the fact I had your son full time since.” She pushed beside him but he grabbed her arm.
    “I was away for work you know that.”
    She pulled away from him. “So you could afford this house that car all those nice things you have but you couldn’t afford to send your son money for food or clothes things like that.”
    “I am not saying I was perfect I know I was far from it. But that is why I am trying to make it up to you and Zack.”
    She walked away from him and frowned.
    “How about you focus on your son and leave me out of it.” She tried to leave but he blocked her path again.
    “I love you and all I want is a second chance.”
    She could not believe what she just heard come out of his mouth.
    “You left me.”
    “And I am sorry but-” she held her hands up and stopped him before he could finish.
    “There
