"Naveeeeenn! Stoopp itt!"
Currently, Naveen and Tiana were hanging out at his place and he decided it was a good idea to suddenly tickle her while she was trying to finish their lunch.
"No." He simply replied as he listened to her giggles turn into full blown laughs.
"I'm going to pee myself!" She screamed hoping he would stop. His hands were tickling every crease he could find on her torso. She hoped he would stop when she screamed that out but he wasn't slowing down any time soon.
"Sorry Tiana. No can do." He laughed too. He watched her try her best to run away from him but he anticipated the move and grabbed her waist and held her in place.
She began laughing uncontrollably as Naveen continued to tickle her. Her laugh was sweet Jazz to his ears and he was loving every moment of it but he knew he had to stop now before she stopped breathing. He could hear her breath getting caught in her throat as she tried her best to get out of his grasp.
"Alright alright. I will stop now." Naveen spun his girlfriend around so they were now looking deep into each other's eyes. "Ashidanza... you're so beautiful... the most beautiful girl I have ever seen..." He sighed.
"You're just saying that..." Tiana blushed.
Naveen shook his head causing one of his curls to fall in front of his face. "No... I mean every word of it..."
"But how am I the most beautiful you have seen? You have been around the girls and seen so many different shape, sizes, colours-"
Naveen cut her off. "Yes, that is true but you are truly a work of art. I have never seen a female that possess the same beauty you were blessed with." He told her sincerely.
They stood there in silence before realising how close they were to each other. The only sound that could be heard was their breathing and their heartbeats which seriously managed to synchronize.
Naveen looked down at her lips. They have been together for 2 months now and have yet to kiss. He let her take charge of their relationship so he didn't push her to do anything she wasn't comfortable doing. He respected her too much to do anything that will make her feel uncomfortable. Within the short time of knowing her, she has changed him so much. No other female has been able to have such an effect on the player prince which was why he wanted to make sure she led the relationship.
"What...?" She mumbled as he looked back up to her.
"Nothing. I just... want to ki-" He stopped himself, not wanting to be pushy but Tiana knew what he meant.
"You want to what?" She tilter her head to the side as she looked up at him.
He sighed. "I want to kiss you but I know if you don't-"
She now stopped him mid-sentence. "Then do it."
He looked at her shocked an even stepped back a little.
"Tiana..."
"Oh Naveen." She laughed before grabbing his shirt and pulling him in even closer.
He saw her lean forward but hesitated, wanting him to make the last little move. He understood this and dipped down to finally capture his lips with hers. Tiana felt explosions in her stomach as they kissed slowly and passionately. Naveen has never kissed anyone with such passion and he was glad she was the one to bring this out of him.
Tiana couldn't believe she was kissing this man right now. It was as sweet as the pies she makes and she did have a sweet tooth. He held her close and tight, making her feel secure in his arms and she couldn't think of anywhere else to be.
Naveen's hand slowly travelled down his back until it reached her waist. Their lips were locked so they did their best to breathe through their nose just so they didn't have to part. It felt and tasted so good to have each other's lips in their mouth they wanted to stay like this forever.
Sadly, their kissing was interrupted by a knock at the door causing Tiana to move away but Naveen wasn't having it. He was enjoying it too much to let it end so quickly.
"No no no. They will go soon, ignore them." He pulled her back into another kiss but another kiss caused another knocked.
This time Tiana managed to fully step out of his arms.
"Naveen. Answer the door. It might be something important." She crossed her arms over her chest and stared him down, causing the young Prince to sigh.
"Fine. But we will continue when this person is gone." Naveen gave her a quick kiss before speed walking to the door, ready to kick whoever was at the door, away.
"Yes." Naveen didn't even bother greeting whoever was at the door properly but was shocked when he saw the man in front of him dressed in his royal colours; gold and turquoise.
The messenger bowed. "Prince Naveen of Maldonia. I am here to deliver a letter from your mother, Queen Nalea of Maldonia." He pulled a letter out of his pouch. Once Naveen set eyes of the evenvolpe, he knew came straight from the palace.
"Thank you..." He mumbled as he took the letter and turned back into the house. He hasn't had any form of communication with his family since he came to New Orleans so seeing this letter hit him with reality. He was still a Prince but not just any Prince, the crowned Prince. He had escaped from his duties and he already knew he was letting his people down. While he should be preapring to be King, he was in another country, with not a care in the world. He was making the monarchy look as if it was a joke and that was the last thing he needed. The letter was a crisp white despite the journey it took and had the royal crest in the corner, show how it was officially a royal letter.
"Naveen..." He snapped up as he looked at the beauty standing in front of him with a worried face. She has never seen him looked so shocked and quiet and that it scared her, making her wonder who was at the door. "Who was at the...?" She began to ask until she saw a letter in his hand. "A letter? From your parents?" She put two and two together as Naveen slowly sat down on the couch.
"Yes... they said my mother sent it." He told her.
"Are you going to open it?"
"To hear how much of a disappointment I am? No. I can't." He threw the letter down on the coffee table and leaned back into the chair and just stared into space.
"I know she didn't say anything like that so I suggest you read it. She must be worried about you. When was the last time you had communication with your family?" Tiana asked him and she watched his face fall even further.
"Not since I left..." He admitted which shocked Tiana.
"Naveen! It's been nearly 4 months since you have come and you haven't talked to your parents! I am very disappointed." She shook her head at him.
"They sent me away Tiana, I didn't think they cared." He told her truthfully.
Her soft, dark hand reached up to stroke his smooth face. "Of course they care, you're their son. They love you unconditionally even though you drive them crazy. I have never met them but I know if God forbid, anything happens to you, they will go mental and rush down here for you... Wait, how long does it even take to get her?"
He shrugged. "3 days. 2 and a half if it's a good day."
"Well I know they will take that 3 days trip to come and see you and make sure you're safe. I suggest you read it and then write them back. I will even help you write it."
Naveen sat there in thought. He knew if she wasn't here, he would have burnt the letter but then would instantly regretted it as he would have liked to know what was inside so it was a good thing she was here. She was the only person who knew how to talk some sense into the sheltered boy.
"Ok. I would like you to read it please." He looked up into her chocolate eyes and immediately got lost in it.
She saw in his eyes that he was begging her to do this for him so like a good person she was, she did. Tiana reached forward and grabbed the letter and couldn't believe how perfect it looked despite its travel to get here. She opened the letter delicately as she scared to rip the paper. It did come from a palace from a real-life Queen who just so happened to be her boyfriend's mother. Once she opened it the handwritten was undeniably exquisite.
Dear Prince Naveen Absalon of Maldonia,
My son. I miss you so much. The palace has been quiet without you, I do not know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. The servants have had more free times on their hands, I guess they feel as if they're lucky but that will change once you come back, I do not want them to become lazy. Little Rafi misses his older brother dearly. He wanted to say that when you come back, you have to teach him how to play the ukulele. He even asked one of the nannies to get it for him so he can start practicing and surprise you with it and whatever he tried to learn. Do not tell him I told you that, he would be very upset.
Now your father... I know he misses you too. He hasn't spoken much about it since you left but I know deep down he is worried about you especially in that disgustingly racist country. I still wonder why you chose there of all places. You could have been in Italy or France which is much closer to home. Back to your father, I hoped he could add what he liked in this letter but he has been very busy lately so I barley have had time to reach him as I would have wished for him to send some kind and encouraging words to you. I know he would tell me to write that he misses and loves you. We all do.
We wish you the very best and I hope to hear from you soon since I am not quite pleased with the lack of communication. I told Lawernce to make sure you stayed in touch but I guess he failed. I would have to give him a lecture...
Stay safe. I love you son.
From Queen Nalea of Maldonia
Tiana finished reading and the room was silent. Naveen wished she didn't hear some of those things but he needed someone else to read what his mother had to say. He hated to admit that he did miss the palace life. Having anything and everything he wanted at the snap of his fingers. He wanted a train set, they handcrafted one that had 30 different trains and when he got bored of that, he made them turn it into a car set. Once the young prince got bored of that, he asked them to threw it away but his mother convinced him to take it to the local orphanage.
"How you feeling Naveen?" She asked him as she set the letter back down on the table. She could see the conflict in his eyes, he didn't know how to truly feel about the letter.
"I- well I do miss my home and my family. This is the longest I have been away from them overseas. Yes, I have been around the world but that's mainly on royal duties so I go with my mother, father and brother. Being here has been made me realise how much of a spoiled brat I am. You truly have shown me a different way of life. I thank you for that." He reached over a gave her a light kiss on her cheek before continuing. "It just hurts that now that I am away, my mother is showering me with all this love and still my father is too busy for his son... I know being a King is hard but once Rafi was born, they both changed and spent more time with him in 5 years than they did for the first 10 years of my life. I'm just trouble everywhere I go, maybe Maldonia would be better off without me, the servants wouldn't have to worry about me no more." He went on.
Tiana could see the crazed look in his eyes and didn't know what to do. All she knew was she had to bring him back into this moment before he went crazy.
"Naveen. Look at me." She held onto his cheeks and forced him to look at her. "I know for a fact that both your parents love you very much and always have. Sure, they may not have gone about it as best they could but that's probably all they know. They didn't mean to cause you any upset. I'm sure being royal is hard so you shouldn't feel so bad. Its ok to be upset, angry, whatever. By showing them who you've become now will make them trust in you more, if you don't want to go back that's up to you. Just know to never doubt yourself ever again you hear me Mr." Tiana told him sternly at the end.
Hearing this was exactly what he needed. He calmed down and listened to everything she had to say.
"I honestly don't know what I would do without you right now." He leaned forward, wanting another kiss but paused waiting for her to make the finally move. It was how they first kissed earlier. She closed the gap and they met again in a sweet kiss.
The rest of the day consisted of the two talking and laughing without a care in the world. Tiana for once didn't have to worry about work and spend time having fun. Sure, she always had fun with her girls but this was different. Naveen was different and for once, she began to like different.
Across the ocean in a large palace, a Queen was making her way to see her husband.
"Your majesty." A messenger quickly bowed as he stopped her from continuing her walk.
"Yes." She answered sternly. She could see the sweat dripping down his face and stared at him intensely. It just made him sweat even more from her intense eye contact.
"King Leonidas of Akrainela has requested to know Prince Naveen's location."
Queen Nalea put her hands on her hips. "And why would he want that?"
The messenger took a deep breath. "He says he would like to visit the Prince."
Nalea let out a short laugh. "Prince Naveen will not be staying in that repulsive country any longer but very well. Tell him his favourite Prince Naveen is in New Orleans doing God knows what." With that, she turned and continued her walk down the hall with her purple dress flowing behind her.
The man quickly ran to deliver the message, glad to no longer be in the Queen's presences.
It didn't take her long to find his office and walked straight in.
"What have I told you about knocking woman?"
Then Queen rolled her eyes. "I am your wife and the Queen; this is as much of my office as it is of yours."
"Which you do not use." King Rafu sat back as he looked up at his still youthful looking wife standing in front of him. "Where is my youngest?"
"He's in his language lesson."
Rafu shook his head. "I do not understand how it is taking the boy so long to learn. He only knows Maldonia, English and some French."
"He's not even 6 yet Rafu." She sighed. Nalea rubbed her head and moved to sit in the chair in front of his desk.
The King grunted. "Naveen was fluent in those three and was on his way to perfecting Italian and Spanish by that age."
"Well they are different children. Naveen is talented in music and languages while Rafi is talented in cooking and sports from what I can see already."
"He doesn't need to cook. We have chefs for that."
"But he enjoys it so I do not want to stop him from that. Anyway, I came to say that your oldest should have received the letter, since it has been a few days. I hope he is happy to read it."
"I hope you didn't beg him to come back." Rafu snorted.
Nalea crossed her arms. "And what if I did?"
"I would say you are crazy. He is 20 years of age; he doesn't need to be babied. When the time is right, I will drag his culo back here. Cannot have him enjoying himself too long." The King smirked.
"Well you know how bad it looks on us that the King of Akrainela is looking for our son and we're not. I'm sure he is ready to jump on a ship to see him at this very moment."
The King shook his head. "I do not understand why you are so worried about that young King and what he is doing."
"I'm just saying Rafu. I want to see my son." Queen Nalea began to tear up as she thought of Naveen. Out of his parents, they were the closet but even then, the relationship wasn't the best. It took Naveen being away from her to make her realise how much she loved her son.
King Rafu walked over to his wife and gave her a kiss on the forehead. "Don't worry mia Regina. We will be getting him soon."
Some people found it hard to believe but the two did love each other. You could say their marriage was arranged which is why it is shocking to believe. Rafu had to pick out of 10 women who he wanted to be his wife and future Queen. Being his flirtatious, young self, he acted as if it was a game but when he tried to play Nalea, she shut it all down. He was shocked but intrigued about this young woman. Once the month was over and he had to choose a wife, he chose Nalea. He knew she would be an amazing Queen. He was right.
Two months later, she was pregnant with their first child and they started to fall in love. It seemed backwards but it worked for them. They worked best this way.
"Can we see him next week?" She asked her husband as he went to sit back down.
"Can't. Meeting with the council at the end of that week."
She sighed. "Fine. We can go once your meeting is over. I need to see my son."
"Very well." Rafu nodded before diving back into his paperwork. He wasn't too keen on going but knew it was best not to argue against his wife.
"I will tell them to get our things and ship ready." Nalea said out loud but knew he wasn't listening. "Abinaza mio Re."
"Abinaza mia Regina."
Queen Nalea made her way out the office to see how Rafi was doing and any Queen duties she had to do. The whole time, she was excited as she thought about seeing her first born after weeks of not seeing or hearing from him. She hoped he wasn't causing too much trouble knowing how unfairly people treated people of colour. Maybe she should have sent a spy over to keep an eye on him from the beginning.
'Hmm. I could still send one over. King Leonidas seems to be eager to see his friend so I could ask to send one of our own out there before we come. Yes, that is a good idea.' Nalea smiled, happy that she thought of that plan, even though it was so late. 'Better late than never.'
Nalea went to find one of Maldonia's spies and to contact the King of Akrainela, hoping he would agree. She needed to see her son and make sure he was ok.
'Oh Naveen. I cannot wait to see you mi hijo."
Back in New Orleans, a man sat in his home, plotting and scheming.
"I am not one to be disrespected. I am the most powerful man in New Orleans. Nobody can stop me. I have waited too long to attack; I think the time has come for them to pay. They will think twice before brushing me off the way they did. Mark my words Miss Tiana. You and your precious Prince will pay for treating me the way you did. It's time to call my friends... from the other side..."
The purple eyed man let out a chilling laugh as the gears in his head started turning. He was ready.
Yeah... it has been a very long time since I have updated this story but I see some people are still reading. Make sure you leave reviews so I know how you feel about this story and I will try and be more regular.
But we get to see a little of Naveen's parents so let me know what you think of them. Who is King Leonidas and who is trying to hurt Naveen and Tiana?
I can't believe it has been 10 years since this amazing film has come out. I remember going to watch it just the other day and how hard I was staring at the screen. I made sure my dad went to take me and my sisters to go watch it that even he enjoyed it. Disney needs to give us part 2 ASAP with them being human. We need it NOW. But anywho
Until next time
