Midnight Escapade

It was nine o'clock at night and Tiana was in bed asleep. She was assisting the chef's working down in the palace's kitchen all day today, and now all she really wanted was to snuggle in the warm and soft bed…

BANG!

Suddenly the door slammed open!

"Tiana!" Naveen burst through the door of their suite looking very excited as he was grinning from ear to ear.

Tiana's eye lids opened slightly and saw her husband before closing them.

'Ooooh…go away!' She thought.

Naveen noticed that his wife was asleep and smiled before walking over to the left side and calling out to her softly.

"Tiana." Naveen said whispering. "Tiana…"

Tiana raised her eye lids slowly before speaking.

"Mmm…yes."

Naveen raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm…how long have you been sleeping for?" He asked.

"Hmm…oh not long…a half an hour ago." She said but asked. "Why?"

"I just wondered because you are never this tired…" He said. "What did you do earlier on?"

"I worked down in the palace's kitchen again to help the chef's cook."

Naveen smiled.

"What dishes did you make?" He said.

Tiana smiled.

"Oh we made beignets…gumbo…" She said. "It was very fun…"

Naveen sat down on the bed and rubbed her back gently.

"Hmm…I bet you had them running for their money, once they saw how fast and skilful you are at cooking, yes."

Tiana grinned.

"Yeah…"

Silence…

Tiana noticed that the room went quiet and turned around to see Naveen looking down at the floor and twiddling with his thumbs.

"Um…Naveen."

Naveen turned towards her.

"You…seemed very excited before…what did you want to tell me?" She questioned.

"Oh." Naveen said now grinning.

He jumped over the other side of the bed and began bouncing up and down in excitement, though all the while it startled Tiana.

"Tiana you won't believe it!" He said.

"What?" She asked while gripping onto the bed. "And can you please stop bouncing would you!"

"I bumped into one of my old best friends from high school today!" He said. "And we all talked about what has been going on over the years from when we all went our separate ways and finished high school!"

"Umhmm…"

"And…" He said looking hesitant on telling her what's next.

"What is it?" She asked as she raised an eyebrow.

"I told them about you and how I got married...and boy...did it shock them!" He said while chuckling and rubbing his neck.

Tiana raised an eyebrow and sat up.

"So let me guess...they want to meet me huh." She said.

Naveen said nothing but smiled.

"Arrgh...Naveen." Tiana then fell back on the bed.

"Oh please Tiana...they really want to meet you..." He said desperately. "And it's been awhile since I've met up with them."

"But Naveen...I'm really tired." She said honestly.

"I know...but the guys were hoping to see you tonight at a jazz club."

Tiana frowned and looked at her husband.

"Well...why tonight...what about tomorrow." She questioned.

"Well...they said that they might have work tomorrow and tonight they are free." He pointed out.

Naveen reached out his hand to grip hers and rubbed it delicately.

"Please..." He said while giving her the puppy dog look.

Tiana couldn't resist the 'puppy dog' look.

Tiana smiled.

"Okay...but you owe me one."

Naveen grinned and kissed her on the cheek.

"Thanks darling."

Tiana and Naveen had started to get themselves all ready for tonight by picking out clothes and having a quick shower. Naveen in the end wore a really nice outfit which consisted of a red non-buttoned jacket, with an unbuttoned white t-shirt with his trademark tan trousers...but he also picked out a new cap which was white. It had completed his entire look all together.

He gazed at the long mirror in front of him and grinned.

"Mirror...mirror on the wall." He said. "Who is the handsomest of them all?"

"You of course."

Naveen turned to look at Tiana who had just came out of the bathroom and his jaw dropped.

Tiana looked very hot. As she had decided to wear a jean non-button cut jacket which revealed an also cut white t-shirt showing off her flat and stomach and belly button. She also wore a flaring dark blue skirt showing off her perfect thighs and legs, and to complete her look she had put on silver strap heels, some diamond studs and had her dark curly hair down...that stopped just at her waist.

Tiana smiled and gave a twirl.

"So how do I look?"

Naveen said nothing but walked up to her and hugged her closely.

"You my hotcakes...are so damn scrumptious." He said now aroused. "Care to take just two minutes with me."

Tiana rolled her eyes.

"Oh yeah sure." She said but had out smarted him. "But we might miss the get together with your friends."

Naveen grinned but had put on an innocent look.

"They can wait...I'm hungry now." He said while looking innocent and pouted.

Tiana laughed.

"Well you can't have them all." She said now pulling out of his arms and walking towards the door...all the while swaying her hips.

Naveen watched her go and gazed at her 'but' swaying.

"Mmm...yeah...do it...do it baby." He said while wiggling his eyebrows.

Tiana looked at him and rolled her eyes.

"Well...aren't you coming?" She said now at the door and her hands on her hips.

Naveen walked up to her and wrapped an arm around her.

"Hell yeah!" He said. "Let's roll."

Together they left the room.

Naveen and Tiana were strolling the streets of Maldonia to see this mysterious jazz club which will be the spot of where they will meet up with Naveen's friends. They passed by stores of all sorts that were either open or closed and people.

"So Naveen...where is this jazz club located at." She asked.

"Oh we're getting close." He said.

They walked a little further until Naveen suddenly stopped and looked to the left of him and down an alleyway.

Tiana now confused had asked.

"Naveen what's up?"

He looked down at her and grinned.

"We are here?" He then began moving down the alleyway with Tiana following suit.

"Here?" She looked down the alleyway and saw a cue of people waiting in line to go inside a mysterious metal door entrance, with a big security guard holding a clipboard in his hand to check to see if there on the list.

They made it to the entrance and stopped in front of the guard.

The guard looked down at them and glared but soon his expression softened and he grinned.

"Ah Naveen...how is it hanging man!" He reached his hand out to shake his hand.

Naveen grinned.

"Hey Arthur!" He said and shook his hand. "I'm cool...I'm just bringing my wife to see the pals of mine."

"Oh." Arthur turned to look down at Tiana and smiled before reaching to shake her hand.

"It's nice to meet you miss?..." He asked.

"Oh Tiana." Tiana said with a smile.

"Tiana...beautiful name." He said.

"Thank you."

Naveen smiled at this gesture before asking.

"So are the guys in there?"

Arthur nodded.

"Yep." He said as he opened the door for them to enter. "You are already on the list as a part of the membership club anyway, you guys can go in."

"Great!" Naveen said. "Come on Tiana let's meet our guests."

And together he and Tiana entered the room and the atmosphere completely changed.

Tiana gasped at the sight.

This wasn't any normal jazz club…this was the hottest and most loose jazz club ever. As you saw all the men and women dancing, kissing, grinding and screaming!...or cruising about near the large bar on the left side of the room. On the right side there was tables with groups of people, at the centre was a dance floor and far at the back of the room, there was a stage with a hard-core jazz band playing hot and sexy jazz music.

Naveen was really excited.

"Ah...now this is my home." He said with clarity.

Tiana raised an eyebrow.

"Huh?"

"This Tiana...is the place where people have the freedom to express there inner child...the wild and carefree nature." He said while grinning. "Back in the day...I came here to spend most of my days partying non-stop with my pals!"

"Oh..." She said understanding him.

Suddenly, a voice called out.

"Naveen!"

Naveen turned around and in front of him stood a Maldonian man. He was very tall and robustly muscled, had green eyes, a lot of facial and dark hair and his skin colour was a dark tan. For clothes, he wore a navy blue t-shirt and white trousers; he also had ear piercings on his left ear.

He gave a charming grin.

Naveen showed a wide smile of pure joy!

"Ebon!" He said before walking to give him a manly hug.

"Ah ha...Naveen!" Ebon said happily.

They pulled away before chatting away in Maldonian.

Tiana watched the scene before and shook her head.

"Um hello..." She said.

They turned to look at her and smiled.

Naveen walked up to her and plant his arm around her.

"Ebon...this is my beautiful wife." He said while smiling. "Tiana."

Ebon smiled and walked up to her.

He reached out to grab her hand and kiss it.

"Ah Tiana...it's a pleasure to meet you." He said in English. "Your dazzling beauty...astounds me!"

Tiana smiled.

"Oh thank you."

Ebon now clapped his hands.

"Ah...come...come my pals have been awaiting you." He said before walking to the tables section. Naveen hold Tiana's hand and followed along, after a few minutes they came across a group of people and stopped.

"Lenny, Earl, Bernie and Jeremy!" Ebon said. "Look at who showed up."

They all looked up and smiled.

"Hi Naveen!"

Naveen smiled and waved.

"Hello." Naveen said. "It's nice to see you all again."

Tiana looked at the group and could tell that they were all Maldonian by their different tan complexions. The first one the left end had light tan skin, light blue eyes, brown hair, a green and white stripe jumper and tan khaki shorts. He was tall, exceptionally broad and quite handsome. The second one near him was tan skinned, brown eyes, dark brown hair, a red-t shirt and blue trousers. He was quite tall, masculine and handsome. The third one on the near right had dark tan skin, dark brown eyes, dark hair, a yellow t-shirt and black trousers. He was tall, masculine and handsome. Then finally, the last one had a darker tan skin, grey eyes, a black t-shirt and black trousers. He was tall, muscular and handsome.

Naveen looked down and Tiana and grinned.

"Tiana these are my mates...Lenny, Earl, Bernie and Jeremy." He said happily. "Guys...why don't you introduce yourselves but in English."

The light skinned man got up and grinned.

"Hi Tiana...I'm Lenny." The guy known as 'Lenny' said while wiggling his eyebrows. "But you may call me Len for short."

Tiana smiled.

"Hello Len."

The tan skin man got up.

"Hey Tiana...I'm Earl." The guy known as 'Earl' said with a flirt. "And I must say...you are finer than fine wine!"

Tiana laughed.

"Aw...what a charmer!"

The dark tan skinned man stood now.

"Hello...I am Bernie." The guy known as 'Bernie' said. "Nice meeting you hotcakes."

Tiana nodded.

"Nice meeting you to."

And finally the darker tan skin man now stood.

"Hi!...I'm Jeremy." The guy known as 'Jeremy' said sweetly. "Love the outfit...it accentuates your beauty!"

Tiana grinned.

"Thank you Jeremy."

Naveen was pleased that they were all now acquainted with each other before screaming out.

"Now who wants to party!"

Naveen's friends rose up and praised.

"YEAH!"

"WOOO!"

"ALRIGHT!"

"PARTY!"

"YA-YA!"

Naveen wrapped his arm around Tiana before declaring.

"Then let's do this."

Naveen and Tiana and the rest of Naveen's friends came out through the door of the entrance leading to the hot jazz. They were all sweaty, tired and exhausted but nonetheless...they were having a blast!

"Haha...Naveen you still got it man." Lenny said while laughing. "You move smoother...than ice on water!"

Naveen rubbed his fingernails on his shirt before blowing them.

"Yeah...I know." He said smugly. "I still got it."

Tiana watched him and shook her head.

"Sure...it helps to boast his ego every once in a while." Tiana said with crossed arms.

Ebon laughed.

"Ah...don't be surprised." Ebon said chuckling. "Naveen loves the attention...and when he does...well watch out!"

Naveen grinned.

"Ebon...Ebon...Ebon...you know me too well, yes." He said.

Ebon grinned and wrapped an arm around Naveen's shoulder.

"Sure do mi amigo." He said before turning towards Tiana. "And you Tiana...you grinded hard tonight!"

Tiana smirked.

"Well there's a lot that you don't know about me." She said confidently with her hands on her hips.

Naveen walked up to Tiana and wrapped his arms around her.

"Ah...she will always have my heart." Naveen said and kissed her on the cheek.

Ebon laughed

"Mm...young love."

Earl checked his watch for the time and frowned.

"Aaaw...faldi faldonza."

Bernie saw this and asked.

"Earl what's wrong?"

"I have work in the morning...and it's already 3:00am." Earl said. "I have to head back home."

Bernie waved his hand.

"Oh I'll give you a ride home in my car."

Earl looked at him and smiled.

"You will."

"Yep." Bernie said and began walking. "Come my car is near here."

"Alright." Earl said but before walking he stopped. "Bye guys...I got to head back home now."

Jeremy raised an eyebrow.

"But how are you going to get home?"

"Oh...Bernie is giving me a ride." Earl said and waved to Naveen and Tiana. "See ya everyone...Naveen call me sometime okay."

"Sure." Naveen said.

Earl smiled.

"Bye Tiana it was nice seeing you."

Tiana smiled

"Nice seeing you to."

Bernie also waved before heading off with Earl following as well.

Tiana looked up at Naveen.

"Are you ready to go?" She asked.

Naveen looked down and smiled.

"Sure...I'm gonna say goodbye to my pals."

Naveen walked up to his friends to say goodbye.

"Well mi amigos...it's time for me and Tiana to leave." He said.

"Okay...bye Naveen." Ebon said before hugging him.

Naveen hugged back.

They pulled back and Ebon walked up to Tiana to kiss her hand.

"Bye...gorgeous."

Tiana smiled.

"Bye Ebon."

He then stood to the side as Lenny and Jeremy came up to do the same. Then walked towards Naveen and hugged him.

"Love ya Naveen."

"Miss ya buddy."

"Miss you both all the same." Naveen said. "I'll call you guys so we can meet up sometime.

They nodded and walked beside Ebon.

Naveen and Tiana then began moving together to go home.

"You have really nice friends." Tiana said with a smile. "Funny and love to express themselves openly."

Naveen grinned.

"Yep." He said and laughed. "There always around the block at times...and when I need them...they are always there for me."

Tiana then yawned and Naveen noticed.

"Aw...are you tired?"

Tiana nodded.

"Then let's go home so you can rest." He said while rubbing her arm affectionately.

Tiana leaned her head on his shoulder.
