Loving Layla

Chapter 11

*Layla's POV*
"Hey Zanny, I will call you back" I hang up and walk into the bedroom. Javier is tidying up the room,after all we are leaving Paris today.
I'm not happy but I have no choice. We won't be able to spend two weeks for our honeymoon. It wasn't even an enjoyable week at all. Javier is always with his laptop, he doesn't even try to spend time with me,all he do is work! Work!! Work!! I growl in frustration, he took me out go dinner twice and that's all. I go shopping alone but at least I bought things I like with his money.
The worst part is that he didn't even touch me,I wonder what is wrong. Am i not attractive or what? And even when I do try,all he does is just kiss me like I'm I'm schoolgirl, I don't like that at all. I just want something more exciting. I never thought marriage life would be like this,it's too boring. I didn't save my self for marriage just for my husband to be this cold.
"What is it?" He asks,he must had noticed that I'm staring at him nonstop.
"Nothing! I'm just admiring you" I say,winking at him.
He smiles "are you ready? Let's go!" He says lifting his bag up.
I carried mine too,I can't believe we are already heading back to Nigeria and I don't have much to gist my friends about. Sincerely I'm so sad and I guess he could feel it too because he says "Layla,I'm so sorry this trip ended so quickly but I have to attend to something urgently."
"No problem" I whisper back.
We arrive at Abuja in silence,A designated driver came to pick us up.
In the car, Javier turn to me "Layla,I have to drop by the office,head home first."
I nod,he kiss me on the cheek and step out of the car. I shake my head frustrated, so I'm going home alone,it's so great.
I arrive at our new home,the decorator already sent the interior pictures of the house and I'm so glad with all she did. I drop the luggage in the bedroom,take a shower and change my clothes.
I call my mom to inform her of our arrival and my plans to visit her during the weekend. I call Tazanna too to come over,how can I stay in this big house alone.
Less than an hour later,she arrives.
"Zanny" I call out,running to hug her. I reallyt miss her.
"Layla,how are you?" She asks,releasing me.
"I'm so fine" I reply with a smile.
"I can see,you look really fresh and beautiful" she beams.
I draw my lips into a thin line. "I do"
"Yes now! So how is marriage life?" She inquires as we sit down.
"Hmmh!" I sigh.
"What is it? Why hmmh?"
"I'm not really happy,Zanny!" I confess.
"What happened? What's going on? Did Javier do anything?"
"That's the problem,Zanny. He's not doing anything." I throw my hands upon frustration..
"What do you mean?"
"He doesn't show me love,he rarely spend time with me and when he does,all he do is work. We don't talk and have fun like normal newlyweds do!"
Tazanna sighs. "Have you talked to him?"
"No,not yet. What will I say? Hey Javier,you aren't really making me happy? I can't do it,Zanny!"
"Calm down,Lee" Zanny says holding my hand. "You guys are still new at this,you have to tell him the things you want. He might not think it's not necessary!"
"Not necessary? How can we create a marital bond and have kids when we don't have sex?" I ask in a rush.
Zanny's jaw drop in shock. "What?"
"Yes,Zanny..he didn't do anything. Maybe I'm not his type or he doesn't like women in general"
"No,that's not possible, I saw the way he looks at you! Maybe something is holding him back... You know. Talk to him" she advises.
I nod. "I pray he listens."
She giggles. "Well your husband is a good man..remember?"
I frown. "Of course,he is!"
Javier is so nice to me,that is one thing I can't deny. But as his wife I want something more. I want to know how I make him feel. I don't want to be treated just like other people he knows. I want to be that one person that drives him crazy and make him do things he never did before.I plan on telling him just how I feel when he gets back.
