A/N: Thank you for the reviews and favs…I also forgot to add in Reginald's bio at the end of the last chapter. Sorry about the confusion on whether he's blood related to Tiana or not. He's just a friend. His mini bio will be at the end of the chapter. So you all can get a better understanding of this creepy guy. Yeah I don't like him either. I own nothing of Disney! Enjoy!

Queen of Maldonia

Show him who's boss!

"Here is your breakfast, sir." A female help said, pushing the golden food cart beside Naveen's bed. "Today's breakfast for you are pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs and fruit salad." She then poured some coffee in a cup and sat it on the cart. "Your highness?"

He waved his hand from under the covers. She took the hint, curtsied and exited the room. Naveen's day always started a couple hours earlier. One of the things he hated about being King.

"It was so much better when you were here Tiana." He moaned, pulling the covers off him, revealing his toned upper body. Tiana's been gone for a month and all he could think about was the morning cuddles, conversations and sex…yeah that was the best part. The sex, he missed that more than anything. Well, after missing Tiana of course. "Too bad she's working right now." He looked at the clock. "It's 5:23 in the morning…so that means the restaurant is just closing." He grabbed the phone and dialed their number.

"Hello?" Answered a tired Tiana.

"Goodmorning-eh…evening my beautiful queen. How was work?"

"Ugh. I'm so glad to finally hear from you." Tiana fell onto the bed.

"Your day was that bad, huh?" Naveen said with a laugh.

"Yes. But let's not talk about work…"

"When are you coming back to Maldonia? I miss you waking up next to me." Naveen said.

"Aw. I miss...oh wait--hold on!"

Naveen did just that and heard voices in the background. One was Tiana's and the other was…

"Thank you Reginald."

Reginald. Jealousy quickly grew inside him. Why was Reginald knocking on HIS door at this hour? It had to be at least close to midnight. Then he heard laughter.

"Sorry about that."

"Who was that?" Naveen knew who it was; he just wanted to hear Tiana tell him.

"Oh, just Reginald. I left my schedule book at the restaurant."

"You gave him keys to OUR restaurant?"

"I had to leave early. I got sick."

Naveen grunted.

"What's wrong with you?"

He grunted again.

"Okay well I'm going to bed. I have an appointment in the morning and will let you know how it went. I love you"

"I love you, too." He grunted out.

"Bye"

"Bye"

He hung up the phone feeling agitated. Being king was stressful enough with his alliance with Sibliga needing some of his men to fight in war, now he had to worry about a man who's obviously in love with his wife hang around her like a sick puppy.

"Why can't she see this?" He asked himself.

"Your highness!" Someone shouted while knocking on the door. Naveen quickly opened the door to see one of the male help.

"What is it?"

"The president of Sibliga is on the phone."

Naveen quickly put on a robe and ran out of his room and into his office where he picked up the phone.

"Hello"

"Goodmorning your highness. I need that small favor from you…our country has just been attacked by the Mafets and-

"I will send some of my men there immediately."

"You're definitely not pregnant…but you do have a stomach virus." The doctor then took out a pill bottle and handed to her.

"What's this?" She asked, looking at the blue bottle.

"It's antibiotics. Take three pills a day, separately for a week. If you are feeling better within a couple days keep taking these."

"Thank you."

He nodded his head before leaving the room.

Tiana left the doctor's office and headed back to her restaurant. Since it was only a few blocks away she decided to walk instead of driving. She ordered her guards to having the day off. They deserved it. While walking she saw a young couple holding hands and Naveen quickly came in mind. She missed him and his foot rubs…yes, foot rubs. The comfort and security she got when she looks into his eyes. He way his body feels on her…the way he touched her.

She wanted to come back to him but the restaurant needed her, or did it? She shook off the thoughts of leaving and continued her short stroll.

"Tiana!" Reginald said, opening the door for her. "Good news!"

"Huh?" she said.

"I talked to some of my former classmates who own a few businesses in Boston and Chicago. They agreed to come down here, in New Orleans to expand Tiana's Palce."

"What?" She asked, getting annoyed. "I don't remember ever wanting to talk to people let alone strangers about expanding my restaurant!"

"These are professionals. Big shots. If you-

"The answer is no." Tiana spat out and quickly walked in her office.

Reginald followed behind her, closing the door behind him. "Tiana, this could be big for your business! These cats are multi-millionaires! They have promos, connections-

"I don't need any of that right now. And I much prefer to work my business up on my own. What part of 'I can do this by myself' don't you understand?"

Reginald threw his hands up in the air. "I was only trying to help better this joint."

She walked up toward him with her finger pointing at him, "Listen up, mister…this isn't a joint. It's a restaurant and jazz club and I don't need someone like you to down play what's mine. You can either sit back and let me take care of MY restaurant or you can leave."

Reginald bald his fist and quickly left the office. Tiana sighed in frustration and shook her head. How dare Reginald try to tell me what to do with MY restaurant. She looked over at a picture of her and Naveen and smiled. "I wish you were here Naveen so that you could knock some sense into Reginald's head. Why do some men think they can just boss a woman around?" She sat down on her chair and began looking over her scheduling book.

Naveen was walking down the hall when he saw one of the help crying on the floor. He got down to check on her.

"Tela?" he asked.

She looked up at him with a bloody nose.

Naveen frowned, "Who did this to you?"

She shook her head and ran down the hall.

"I saw her and some other servant arguing."

Naveen turned to see Lucas standing behind him.

"I don't know what she said to him but he was surely pissed."

"What are you still doing here?" Naveen asked, getting pissed off himself.

Lucas laughed. "I thought we were best cousins?"

"Not anymore." Naveen said with a stern face. "Pack up your rags and get out."

"Oh so I wear rags now that you're king? Naveen you are so funny."

Naveen then walked up to Lucas with clinched fists,

"Your highness" said one of the help. "The queen is on the line."

Naveen stepped up to Lucas' face. "Get out of my palace Lucas." And shoulder bumped him as he walked down to his office. He slammed the door behin him and picked up the phone,

"Hello, Tiana?"

"Naveen…I wish you were you here or I was there…I really need one of your hugs."

"What happened? Is it Reginald?"

"Yes. He's doing business meetings without me and to top it off making deals behind my back. I had to go off on him about some deals he made with people from Boston and Chicago."

"You told him no, right?"

"Of course I did! I swear some business folks are no better than drug dealers. They make these trades without even thinking about what it could mean for others."

Naveen smiled, satisfied about his wife stepping her foot down on that chump Reginald, "Tiana my love at least you told him who was boss. And you didn't need me to pound his face in."

She laughed.

"Did you go see the doctor?"

"Oh yes. I have a little stomach virus. He gave me some antibiotics to kill the infection. I'm already feeling better."

"That is good." He was glad that it wasn't anything serious.

She wanted to change subjects, "How is Maldonia? Still as beautiful as ever?"

Naveen ran his fingers through his hair, "Yes, but it will not be completely beautiful without your presence."

Tiana smiled. "You're so sweet."

"No I am naughty…I've been a bad bad boy." He joked. "When will you be returning to your other home?"

"Soon. I just need to update this week's schedule. Josephine Baker is coming this month."

"But I thought she was coming in September."

"She changed plans because in September she's filming a movie."

"Okay."

"Well I better get this done. We will speak again later?"

"Yes."

"I love you." Said Tiana.

"I love you, too." Naveen replied back.

Reginald cringed after hearing Tiana finish her phone call with Naveen. "All I wanted was to make Tiana have the best restaurant in New Orleans and what does she do? She blew me off just to make fun of me with that spoiled silver spoon suckin' Naveen." He unched his fist into his hand. "Tiana will be mine. Even if it means the death of the great Naveen."

Here's Reginald's bio: Reginald is a childhood friend of Tiana's whose been madly in love with her since they were preteens. His family and Tiana's family are so close that they refer to each other as "family". At an early Reginald took a once in a lifetime offer from his uncle up north to get into college but this happened right after Tiana's father passed. Taking advantage of an emotionally distraught Tiana he asked her to join him on this new journey since he could bring a friend but she said no because she still wanted to keep her father's dream alive. And even though Tiana is happily married to Naveen he still believes that there's hope for them. Too bad Tiana doesn't feel the same way
