A Son For A King

Confusion Part Three

Naveen stood on the balcony of his and Tiana's bedroom, smoking a ganjo. He was thinking about what he heard Yesenia say to herself earlier in the night about having feelings for his wife. He's seen women together, even in his philandering days but never thought that it could go as far as romance.

He blew the smoke the substance out of his mouth as mixed feeling came to mind. One of the feelings were flattered and other other was annoyance, and then there was bizarre. Having Jasper obsess over Tiana was a handful, but now he probably have to deal with Yesenia drooling all over his wife?

Naveen put out the ganjo out before throwing it away and eased his way over to the bed. But then he stopped and remembered how strong the herb scent was so he went to take a shower.

In the shower all he could think about was a another woman being in love with his wife. The same woman who not too long ago had the same feelings for him. But why would she feel this way for Tiana? How did it happen? He sighed as he stepped out of the shower, and walked back his room, nude and all while holding a towel. Drying off, he watched the back of his slumber away. He wondered if she somewhat knew of Yesenia's feelings for her. He then slipped on some boxers and made his way back into the bed.

Tiana felt the other side of the huge bed shift and her husband lips on her cheek.

"Goodnight." He whispered.

She frowned and turned over to see him turning off his lamp from his nightstand. "What time is it?"

"A little after one." Naveen pulled the covers over himself. "What are you doing up? You should be sleeping."

"I should be saying this to you." Tiana said. "Have you been smoking that ganjo stuff again?"

"We'll talk about this in the morning." Naveen closed his eyes.

"You do realize that the scent can linger in this room. And it stinks."

Naveen sighed. "I couldn't resist the urge."

Tiana tuned away from him. "If you're still smoking by the time the baby is born you can forget holding it."

Naveen pulled Tiana onto him, giving her another kiss on the cheek. "I promise to stop this habit."

"You better." Tiana responded.

"But I cannot ever promise to stop getting enough of you." Naveen whispered in her ear before kissing it.

"Well you will have to tonight. I'm still tired."

Naveen groaned. "I give you my word on quick smoking." He ran his hand up her breast.

"Naveen!" Tiana laughed. "Go to sleep."

"You owe me in the morning."

"Okay, I'll give you some then, but for now I'm going to sleep." She turned her head to give him a kiss. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

Morning came and Tiana wasn't able to hold on what she owed her husband. He was was already gone in his office to speak with the pope about meeting him later in the week. Tiana had already finished her breakfast and was in the nursery, looking everything over. She was satisfied. The color green was good for a boy or a girl and the little toys were mainly stuff animals. Her eyes made it over to the rocking chair and her heart skipped a beat. Thinking about rocking in the chair back and fourth while holding her baby was mainly in her dreams. Some nights she would dream of another boy, who look a lot like Naveen while others she would dream that she was holding a girl, who looked alot like her.

She then rested her hands on her growing bump and felt blessed that she is experimenting the feeling of motherhood again. But then she thought about her pregnancy with James, and how sad she was during that time. Many women are usually excited about having a baby by the man they loved. Her mentally was the total opposite…

Six years old…

…

Tiana sat on her bed and sighed in relief. She had just closed the restaurant for the night and all she wanted to do was sleep. She was a little over seven months pregnant but with the size of her tummy it looked as if she could pop any minute. Tonight was another busy one for the business which pleased her a bit.

She felt movement in her tummy and smiled down at it. He pregnancy was the only thing that kept her from going insane, and it was also the only thing that kept her miserable. The night she got the letter from Naveen, telling her that he found another love made all what she's heard about true love vanish from her mind.

"There's no such thing as true love." Tiana said to herself, standing up. She walked over to her window and looked up at the two brightest stars. Ray and Evangeline.

"I don't know if I can do this." Tiana said. "Naveen promised on our wedding night that he would never hurt me…and he did just that." A tear ran down her face. "And of all nights, he had to hurt me the same night I wanted to tell him that our love created this baby." She sighed, wiping her tears away. "I hate him! I hate him!" No matter how many times she tried to convince herself to hating Naveen, she knew that it was impossible. And to feel his child in her was the reason why her feelings couldn't go away.

So she walked over to her phone and dialed the numbers to reach him again.

"Hello?" Nagina answered.

"Nagaina?" Tiana said. "Is Naveen there?"

"Oh, um. One moment." She hang up the phone.

When Tiana heard the beeping on the other end she knew that she could never reach him. She then laid back on her bed, with her hands on her swollen tummy. "I guess it's just us two, kid." Tiana looked over at her nightstand and saw her wedding band. "You don't have to worry about knowing your father. Sometimes it's best not to know about stuff. Especially when it could end up hurting in the long run."

A tear ran down Tiana's face as she remembered that night. But she shook her head. "That was the past, this is now." She said to herself and walked out of the room where she saw Yesenia flirting with a guard, who was politely standing by one of the room doors.

Tiana shook her head and walked over to the woman. "Yesenia, what are you doing?"

Yesenia smiled. "I'm trying to get me a date! It's been a while since I've had a man."

Tiana laughed and took her by the arm. "He isn't interested."

Yesenia frowned. "Why isn't he? I'm beautiful, mysterious and confident."

"He's married."

"Oh." Yesenia could only respond. "That explains everything." She locked arms with Tiana as they walked down the hall. "Tell me Tiana. There's got to be some men you know who are willing to date a woman with a lot of baggage."

"I don't know." Tiana said. "The men in Naveen's family are something else."

"Oh do I know it!" Yesenia agreed and saw Tiana shaking her head. "What?"

"You and these men."

"It gave me what I needed at the time. Money."

"Well now you are gaining respect."

Yesenia smiled. She was touched. "Thanks to you." And caressed Tiana;s face.

"Well…like I said before you had to want to change." She took her friend's hand. "And you did."

Yesenia looked into Tiana's eyes and inches herself close to her.

Tiana frowned and stepped back. "What are you doing?"

"Huh?" She asked and felt embarrassed. "I'm sorry. I thought I saw something on your face, but it wasn't anything."

"Oh." Tiana touched her face. "Well, I should get going to the kitchen."

"But I thought that today was your day off?"

"It is, but I would like to see how everyone is doing."

"You are such a hard worker." Yesenia laughed.

"It's in my blood. Growing up my daddy had three jobs to support the family and to keep his dream alive on saving for our restaurant."

"I enjoy hearing about your father. He seemed like such a wonderful man."

"He was."

"If I had a father like yours, I don't think I would where I am now. A former prostitute trying to find herself."

"You'll find yourself. It just takes time for some people." The young queen said to her friend.

"You know you are very blessed Tiana." Yesenia said. "You have a wonderful and powerful husband, a smart and talented son, two mothers and a father by your side. I have no one. My mother sold me to the highest bidder while my father up and left without a trace."

"Yesenia, you have me as a friend. Who will also help you get back on your feet."

Yesenia knew she could count on Tiana. "I know."

"Well we should be heading to the kitchen. I have to talk to Naveen about the garden party that was postponed."

"Actually I was heading back to my room." Yesenia said.

"Oh, well I'll see ya later then."

Yesena watched Tiana walked down the hall and frowned. She felt very dumb for trying to kiss her. 'Why did I do that?' She wondered. 'I can't love Tiana. She's my friend, and not a man.'

Tiana made her way to the gym after finding out that Naveen was in there lifting weights. She's never been in the room and still had to get a confirmation from her husband as to when they should reschedule their garden party. It was the first time that she's participated in one.

She looked around and saw him punching at a punching bag. Her eyes went down to his muscular chest and abdominal. He looked good. His hair was soaked in sweat, his face had this serious expression on it and his range of motion was point on. He stopped his boxing and took a towel from a helper, who she just noticed was standing there in the room. Naveen sat the towel on a bench before getting down on the floor and began doing push-ups.

She's never seen anything so sexy. She watched the entire time as sensual fantasies of him throwing her on the bench, ripping her dress off and working his main muscle inside of her came to mind.

After he wasdone, Naveen got back up and took another towel from the helper. "That's it." Was all he said before walking in the locker room.

Tiana couldn't hold back, as she went over to the helper and said. "I got him."

The man nodded his head, walking away. "Thank you, your majesty."

"Mm hmm." She replied as she walked in the room, where she saw Naveen, wiping his face. She walked over over to him and heard him laugh a little.

"Did you enjoy the show?" He teased.

Tiana rolled her eyes. "Why do you do this to me?"

He shrugged his shoulders. "I didn't do anything."

She walked over to him, wrapping her arms over his sweaty shoulders and sting her tongue in his mouth. Naveen pulled back and decided to tease her again. "I thought you didn't like touching my sweat after working out?"

"No, baby. I never said that." Tiana pressed her mouth on his.

Naveen easily unzipped Tiana's dress and it fell onto the floor. He laid her on the bench where he took off her panties. He then looked into her eyes. "What got you so hot for me?"

"I still still owe you from last night."
