I've also been working on a new story called 'Something New'. For all you Legend Of Korra fans reading, check that out! :] It's an Irosami fanfic! So please check that out and REVIEW! Um I'm sorry for that extra extra extra long wait and the super late update, but I was busy. But I finally finished chapter 9! I do not own PATF, Disney does!
So here it is...
Under The Moon Light
Tiana looked up at the bright, still crystal moon which shinned down on her. She couldn't believe she was heading to Maldonia of all places. Why would they even want her to come, oh yeah the will. Why couldn't they just mail the will to her? She didn't want to look at the face of Nagina. The sick woman who banned her family, no her first-born's son at their time of great need. How dare she! Tiana could never forgive her for that, not even if the world depended on it.
Tiana hugged herself for warmth after a strong breeze came by.
"Jacket?" Tiana turned to the familiar voice and found her staring into Rafael's eyes.
"Rafael," she was surprised to see him. It was pretty late, and honestly she thought she was the only one on deck, besides the captain, "Why are you up?" she asked.
"Couldn't sleep. You?" he replied
"Um, just thinking" Tiana answered, she didn't feel like talking and to Rafael of all people.
"Well, penny for thoughts?" he asked, giving her a toothy grin. Tiana wanted to walk away and end the conversation right now, but of course she wasn't raised to be rude, so she stayed.
"Don't really have anything worth sharing" Tiana was praying he could take a hint
"C'mon. Talk to me" Rafael said now leaning in closer to Tiana, who slightly scooted down the railing.
"I'm fine, thank you" Tiana said, a little disguisted by the man's persistence
"Tiana," Rafael sighed, "I know you must just think I'm creepy" Wow, Rafael is creepy and read minds.
"But I know your hurting. I just want to be a friend. Are you really going to deny me of your friendship?"
Tiana hadn't heard the word 'friend' in years was surprised that a came out Rafael's voice. No one after Naveen's death tried to be her friend. Sure some people would come up to her and say sorry for your loss, or like her neighbor had done offer to take her kids to school. But no one had gone the extra mile to help her. No one wanted to go through thick and thin with her. Ups or downs, happiness or sadness. No one had wanted to be her friend.
"R-Rafael..I-I" Tiana was having trouble finding words to say to him
"Tiana?" he was scared he had said the wrong thing and offended her.
"I-I'm sorry" Tiana said swallowing her pride for a minute. She always assumed that every man that talked to her wanted her, but she was wrong this time. He just wanted to be friends.
"For what?" Rafael asked, with an confused expression on his face
"For being rude to you" Tiana replied, even if he couldn't tell, she still felt obligated to apologize.
"Well, no problem. Friend" he said smiling. Tiana couldn't help smile at the last word, friend. A word she never thought she would hear.
"C'mon, give it to me," Tiana was in such a happy mood, she decided to give him a hug. She spread her arms wide open and Rafael immediately wrapped his arms around her sides, capturing her in a bone breaking hug. Tiana could feel her rib smashing and breathing was surprisingly harder to do. She decided to end the hug fest.
"Wow, well I can't believe I made a new friend!" Rafael admitted happily. Tiana would of loved to hear Rafael's stories, but she was growing tired and she could barely keep her eyes open. Rafael took notice, and decided to pick up where they left off in the morning.
"Well, good night Tiana" Rafael said smiling charmingly at her. Shockingly Tiana smiled back, "'Night" she looked at him one more time and headed toward her cabin. Even though Rafael was her 'friend' now Tiana still had her guard up. She wasn't born yesterday, she knew how men worked. Rafael had to earn her trust, she wouldn't ever give it away like that! I mean, c'mon! She isn't stupid! But yeah the fact he even wanted to be friends shocked her enough. Maybe he was trying to get in her panties, maybe he cared? She couldn't tell, but one thing she could tell was,
This was going to be a very long trip.
