Chapter 3 Baby Zara

Zara drove with high speed into the houses in Royalty's estate which was a home only the rich , wealthy and ones with connections could afford to live in. Devon's house was ten houses away from her father's mansion

Zara parked the car outside her gate and came down one of the security at the gate opened it and she raced inside she knew that Devon will be on his way now she couldn't risk him catching her so she can't let him meet her outside

" Hey Mom" Zara called as she rushed to her mom who was seated on a single couch in the sitting room and pecked her cheeks then rushed up the stairs to her room. She entered her room, locked her door and collapsed in her bed breathing heavily thank God she was safe in the sanctuary of her room

Felicia Brocks stared at her daughter as she ran with full speed up the stairs in to her room that was so unlike her, Zara will always sit with her anytime she came back for school and they will talk because once Zara goes to her room she will lock herself up and not come down till it was time for dinner.

She didn't even ask for her dear father nor did she ask for food which was her normal routine. Her daughter only greeted her today, pecked her cheeks and ran up to her room. Was Zara okay??

Well she looked okay to her but she appeared to be running away from something or someone? and there was only one person in the world that could make her dear Zara run like that. It was none other than Devon, her best friend.

'What has Zara done this time around?' Felicia mused

Can't these children stop playing pranks on each other and Instead get together like she and her friend Leila Devon's mother wanted. What will it take to make these kids realize their feelings and start dating each other?

Felicia walked up the stairs and into her bedroom and walked to the window where she could see anything outside her gate from. She saw Devon's car was still parked outside and wondered what the boy was still doing there. Why was he not going home or coming inside?

As she was still busy asking herself those questions and trying to find answers another sport car pulled to a stop at the gate beside Devon's car and Devon came down and waved at the person inside the car and the person he was waving to drove off towards the estate's gate.

She watched as Devon put his hands on his hips and glared up at the gate like it was Zara and more questions came up in her mind: why was he coming down from someone else's car when his own car was parked in front of the house already? Was he not the one that drove Zara home?

Felicia put one and two together and burst into laughter. Oh God her daughter snatched his car key and drove herself home leaving him behind at school no wonder she was running like the devil itself was after her well maybe Devon was the devil.

She watched Devon as he angrily stomped to his car, got in and drove off. Right from when Devon and Zara were kids Devon never lets any other boy get close to Zara.

She remembered a scene vividly like it was yesterday but actually it was 13 years ago when Zara was celebrating her fifth birthday and Devon beat up a boy because Zara said the boy was really cute and the boy touched her hair.

He has always been jealous seeing his honey talking to any guy apart from him she knew that the boy was In love with Zara but how long will it take before he finally confesses to Zara and asks her out was the question she has no answer to what if someone takes her away along the way?

Devon was just like his father who was also a Playboy in his teenager days who fell in love with her best friend Leila but was too much if a chicken to ask her out and nearly beat a boy to a comatose state for kissing her before he finally asked her out she prayed that the same won't go for Devon and Zara she was going to make damn sure of it.

She has just the perfect plan and just needs to talk to Leila and everything will be settled and then their wish will come through.

She wants her daughter to be like every other child her age, have a boyfriend, go out on dates , picnics and have fun like other eighteen years old that she was not stay locked up in her room reading God knows what

Damn she was just like her nerd of a father but at least she was not insisting on wearing all those big glasses like her father did in his high school days. The only time her precious daughter ever went out was when Devon forcefully drags her along with him anywhere he was going to, be it parties or lunch and Felicia was grateful

But she wants more, so much more

Devon parked his car in the driveway way and came down slamming the car door shut. He walked into his house and met his parents in the living room in a deep discussion, his mother was in his father's lap and he was not surprised because they were always like that will all lovey dovey after almost nineteen years of marriage.

" When is Devon going to do it am tired of waiting he is just like you in that aspect" his mother was telling his father glaring playfully at him

"Well it's not my fault he choose to be like his father" his father smirked at his mother "he is his father's son after all"

" When am I going to do what?" Devin asked curiously and his parents turned to look at him

" My baby is back come give mommy a hug" Leila told her son opening her hands wide for him

Devon smiled at his mother then smirked at his father as he walked to his mother who was still sitting on his father's laps and hugged her kissing her cheeks when he tried to kiss his mother's nose his father pushed him away and glared at him.

"Go get yourself a wife but until then don't touch mine" his father snapped at him

Theodore does not know how long he will keep telling his son to stay away from his wife. Any time he remembered his mischievous little son who will cry all night like a baby saying that he couldn't sleep alone

His wife will leave him in a cold and empty bed to sleep in his room he will feel like hitting him or how little Devon will slip in between he and his wife in the night and wrap his arms around Leila while leaving him to sleep with his arms empty but now that his son was all grown up he wouldn't let that happen again.

" But she is my mother first and then your wife," Devon said sweetly and smirked when he saw the scowl on his father's face.

Before they could start an argument that was not new to Leila she butt in. " How is my baby Zara?"

"Yeah son, how is your honey?" Now it was his father's turn to smirk and Devon's turn to glare

" She is fine". He turned to his mother. "Your baby Zara snatched your son's car and left him stranded in school"

His parents burst into laughter. The kids will never change, always pranking and bullying each other.

"Well you guys can laugh " Devon groused good naturedly as he walked up to the stairs to his room with his upper lip curled with with a tiny smile

Devon pulled his clothes off and walked naked into the bathroom turn on the shower and stepped under it and after taking his bath he pulled a towel from the towel rack which must have been kept there by a maid and tied it loosely around his waist then he took another one that he use to clean his wet hair dry as he walked out of the bathroom to the front of the large mirror in his room and stared at his reflection.

He had planned on asking Zara out on her eighteenth birthday which was two months ago but he couldn't find the right words and it was something that he has been waiting for all his life for but he still couldn't do and for reasons he didn't know why he could not do it. He was only three months older than her so he celebrated his birthday five months ago.
