One Eighty Too

by Charity Shane

I’m a healthy woman and taller than most chicks. However, my five-foot, nine-inch frame and size eighteen curvy body cowers next to him.

Vows and rings won’t make a man stay.

While simpering, she raises up on her feet then passionately kisses me. I swear every time she kisses me, she acts like it’s the last. I feel every ounce of love she has for me. And she wonders why I want to wife her!

Trust is earned, respect is given, and loyalty is demonstrated through a man’s actions

respond. My thank yous are always ignored because according to him, when he gives me anything, he is doing what a man is supposed to do for the woman he loves. Even though he will not respond, I will always express my gratitude because I know all men are not created the damn

I don’t know why hoes think calling me fat is an insult. I love every damn inch of my body and I’ve never had a problem catching a man’s eye.

“Why would you say that shit? I want to marry you. We are never breaking the fuck up,” I grit.

“It is that deep. You always joke like that and it’s not funny, Brie. Wanting to spend the rest of my life with you ain’t funny at all.”

“I’m always trying to be all up in your space. It’s my favorite place.”

He’s all man in every way and he will not hesitate to put anyone down that disrespects me. But in total contrast, he’s gentle and affectionate with me.

“It’s not like we talked about it or you demanded it. I just knew when I saw you. When I’m around you, I can’t imagine you paying for anything you want or need. I can’t even imagine you opening your own doors. None of that shit. You carry yourself like you deserve everything and anything and the man in me naturally wants to give and do it all for you.

There’s unparalleled security in knowing your man will kill for you.

Thank God he loved me through it though. A different man might not have.

“Love, I’ve done a lot of fucked up shit in my life. I’ve bodied my fair share of niggas and cracked a few heads so I know I won’t be living my afterlife in heaven. My only chance of getting close to it is with you. You are my heaven and I want to be in heaven till death do us part.”
