[A/N]: Weeks weeks weeks. I'm so sorry I'm a terrible updater :(

Anyway, the two are on their way to Italy :) And yeah things are about to happen. And i'm really trying to think about possible things for the couple. I hope you don't hate me for the future chapters but I just see the situation as something "normal" in a relationship, anyway, on with the reading!

R&R! :D

I don't own any of the characters from Glee [:

"Give us a call when you get there ok?" LeRoy Berry told Rachel as he gave her a quick hug.

The vacation had gone by so quickly that before they knew it, it was time to go back to Italy and go back to school. Not that Rachel complained about going back. Being in Italy means she gets to spend more time with Blaine. But she still was really going to miss her family and friends.

"I promise dads. The minute I step off the plane I'm gonna call you two," Rachel said to them, smiling.

After a few minutes they saw Blaine running up to them with his parents walking behind him.

"Hi good morning Mr. and Mr. Berry!" he said to them while trying to catch his breath.

"Hi Blaine. Ready for the trip?" the two men looked at him with a smile. They had to admit, the two of them were thankful that Rachel was in a relationship with Blaine and not Finn. As much as they loved the other guy, they still could not help the fact that he can be childish and that sometimes they doubted the love the two people had for each other. Blaine was definitely a better match. Plus he was there to protect Rachel when they weren't.

"Yes, ready as can be. Shall we go in?" Blaine asked Rachel, wrapping his arms on her waist.

"Mhmm! Wait I'll just give them a last kiss goodbye and say hi to your parents," Rachel said, moving towards her dads and giving them both a peck before turning to Blaine's parents.

The whole trip to Italy went smoothly. Rachel was finally convinced that she has now moved past the whole nervous breakdown issue whenever she had to ride and plane and she strongly believed Blaine was to thank for that. After going through all the procedures in the airport, the two had finally got out of the airport and was greeted by Rachel's friend Nadia, who was kind enough to pick the two up.

"Buongiorno! How was the Estati Uniti?" Nadia said, running towards them and giving them both a quick hug before helping out with the bags.

"It was great Nadia! Thank you for picking us up!" Blaine said to her as they started walking towards her car.

"So, how was the New Year in Italia?" this time it was Rachel's turn to ask. She knew that Nadia had started dating the guy she met in Paris, Philippe, and from what she remembers, he had been constantly giving her a visit during the Christmas vacation.

"It was awe-sooooooome! Philippe came to visit and, drum roll please—" Blaine faked a drum roll, "we are now DATING! Yes! We've been going out for about a 2 weeks now and everything is spec-ta-cu-ar," Nadia said to them, emphasizing each syllable with a gesture of her hands.

"Oh my god Nadia that's so good to hear!" Rachel said to her, feeling very thrilled. She really didn't want her friend to just go around sleeping with the guy just like she did when they went to Paris. Besides, Nadia was a very nice girl and she deserved someone to love her.

By the time they arrived at the apartment Aurelia had been nothing but excited and happy to see the couple back in Italy. The way she had put it, the apartment has been nothing but love-less when the two went back home, and she was happy to have the romance back in its walls.

After eating dinner and chatting with everyone, both Blaine and Rachel had decided that it was time for them to rest, explaining that they would be going back to school tomorrow and they still had to catch up on the time difference.

As Rachel laid in her bed, she replayed everything that had happened throughout the day. "Yep," she muttered to herself, closing her eyes, "It's great to be back."

As the first bell of the day rung Rachel was convinced that going back to Italy the night before the classes started was nothing but a complete and utter disaster. Aside from the fact that the time zone screwed her up big time, she was still feeling tired from the 14-hour flight back. As she packed all her things in her bag, Nadia came up to her, looking worried.

"You ok Rach? You look like you've been hit by a train," she said, helping her pick her bag.

"A train, I would take anytime of the day . I'm so sleep Nadi," Rachel said, rubbing her eyes as she stood up from her chair.

"You should probably skip the next class. I'm sure Signor Loreto would just be spending the next 3 hours chatting about his wonderful Christmas escapade in Hawaii," Nadia said to her patting her back.

Blaine, like Rachel, had also been doing nothing but trying to keep himself from falling asleep in his music history class.

"Yep, stupid idea is stupid. I should've skipped school today," Blaine thought to himself as he opened another stick of gum. He had been trying to chew away his sleepiness for the past 30 minutes. The fact that his professor had been doing nothing but lecture them about history in a completely boring tone haven't done any help.

After one and a half hour, his professor announced that they were dismissed and the students started piling up in the door. Just as he was about to leave, Signorino Viktor called out to him.

"Mr. Anderson, come here for a second. I need to speak to you about something," he said to him, motioning for him to come forward.

"Yes Mr. Viktor?" Blaine said, still feeling sleepy.

"There is a new foreign exchange student here and I need you to become her mentor. She is finishing her minor in guitar for this semester and I figured, since you are the top of the guitar batch, that you should teach her. Are you ok with that?" he said tom him.

"Sure no problem. I can do that after I get a proper sleep," Blaine said to him with a laugh, his joke to clearly understood by his professor.

"Ok I will arrange for you two to meet up later this week. That would be all, have a good day."

"Thank you sir. I'll look forward to getting the call," Blaine said, turning towards the door.

By lunch time the couple had met up and both could not help themselves from laughing at the site of their sleep-deprived partner. As they both cam down from their laughing fit, Blaine hugged Rachel and lightly kissed her on the lips.

"How are you?" Blaine said, looking sleepily into her girlfriend's eyes.

"Sleepy. You?" Rachel said, knowing the answer to her question.

"Sleepy. We should go home," Blaine suggested.

"Agreed." And they both went home, falling asleep the minute they reached their respective beds.

After about 3 days of completely messed up body clocks, both Rachel and Blaine had finally adjusted to the wonderful time in Italy and soon, they were both back in their game. Blaine had still yet to meet the foreign exchange student, and it was about time for his professor to give him a call. At 3 in the afternoon, Blaine sat in a chair inside Signore Viktor's office, waiting for the two to arrive. After lazily gazing at the pictures hung on the walls, Blaine finally heard the door to the office click, and both Signore Viktor and a blonde lady appeared.

"Blaine! Sorry we're late, Ms. Brown got lost in the campus. Ms. Brown this is Mr. Anderson, he will be your mentor for this semester," Signore Viktor said to her, motioning towards Blaine. She gingerly moved her hand forward and introduced herself.

"Hi, I'm Antonella Brown, you can call me Toni for short. It's nice to meet you Mr. Anderson," she said as Blaine shook her hand.

"Hi, Blaine Anderson. You can call me Blaine. We're practically of the same age anyway. Welcome to Italy!" Blaine said, smiling at Toni.

Toni's POV (dun dun dun!)

She first noticed his eyes, and then his smile.

She had to admit, the student mentor she had been expecting to have when she came to Italy was somewhere between a weird looking guy with long hair and thick beard, and a nerdy guy complete with thick-rimmed glasses and pimple-filled cheeks. Now that she was staring at this Blaine Anderson, she could not help but think at how good looking he was. His hazel-gold eyes with its thick, long eye-lashes, his perfectly triangular eyebrows, his smile, god he was beautiful.

"Focus Antonella, focus. You're here to study guitar, not him," she said to herself and Blaine let go of her hand.

Boy she was in trouble.

The first three days of mentoring with Blaine had been nothing but glorious. Not only did she learn about the advance skills in guitar, but she also learned a few tidbits about Blaine's life. She learned that he was supposed to take up a pre-law course (thank god he didn't) and that his father had a fit when he found out about his plans on studying in Italy. He also found out that he loved singing and that it was one of his passions in life. One thing he did not mention to her, and to her dismay, was Blaine's relationship status. She wanted to bring it up a couple of times but she never really got the courage to do so.

Courage

Blaine's favourite word. Well yes, if he did have a girlfriend, Toni would be very disappointed, and jealous, but it would never come a s a surprise to her. With his good looks, guitar skills, and dreamy voice, Blaine Anderson would have any girl begging at his mercy for him to fall in love with them. But still, it would be really nice to ask him directly, instead of snooping around on his facebook, which she did not have the courage to give a friend invite.

"So...any girlfriend?" Antonella asked Blaine as they stopped in the cafe to get a cup of coffee.

"Hmm?" Blaine asked as he was sipping his coffee at the minute.

"Girlfried...or boyfriend. Do you have any?" she asked again, feeling her heart pump wildly. This was the most forward she could possibly get towards any guy.

Inside Blaine's head, he was debating on whether or not he would tell Toni that he indeed had a girlfriend. He really did not want to tell her about anything not school related in his life. Besides, the fight he had with his father was school related, and he did not inform her about their multi-million dollar law firm back in America. So telling her about Rachel would really be going out of his self-imposed boundaries, because let's face it, the only people aware of his relationship with Rachel here in Italy was their closest of friends. Specifically Aurelia, Dimitri, Nadia, and Matt, Blaine's dorm neighbour.

"Why the sudden curiosity Toni?" Blaine said, still trying to take a sip form his burning coffee.

"Oh crap, here we go. The 'Oh nothing I'm just curious' line I've been imagining last night. Oh well, I might as well suck it up," Toni said to herself, fiddling with the loose thread in her bag with the hand that was holding her coffee cup.

"Well, just out of pure curiosity. You don't have to answer it if you don't want to really," she said to him, feeling her already-fast heartbeat quicken.

"Yeah how ideal. Ask a question and not expect an answer. Crap Toni!" she said to herself, mentally giving herself a face slap.

"Haha, well, I'm straight, that's a fact," Blaine said, trying to think of a possible discreet answer to her question. "And well," "Anderson, yes or no" "Yeah, I do have someone. She studies here too," Blaine said, smiling at her.

Inside, Antonella felt her heart getting crushed. Sure, she had only met Blaine 3 days ago, but he had been nothing but amazing the whole time. It would be a surprise if someone did not fall for him right after they had met him. He was nothing but a dream.

"Oh, cool," she said, smiling at him and pretending that she was really happy.

"Yeah, she's great," Blaine said, smiling at his coffee cup.

This is going to be a long semester.

Rachel and Blaine's POV ( A/N: I noticed I tend to jump between the two anyway so here's my "solution")

"So, how have you been?" Rachel asked Blaine, placing her arm around his.

"I've been good. My body clock has finally decided that it's not in the US anymore. Oh, and I met my 'student'," Blaine said to her, folding her hand into his.

"Oh! Well it's about time! What's her name?" Rachel said, looking up at Blaine's face.

"Antonella Brown. Studies in Julliard back in the States and decided that she would take a semester here in Italy. She's a nice girl," Blaine said as they continued to walk home.

Deep inside, Rachel felt a pang of jealousy. Even without meeting her or Blaine giving him more information about her, she felt a slight tinge of jealousy from this Antonella girl. Sure, Blaine has been nothing but loyal, but she, Antonella, gets to spend more time with Blaine everyday at school. Another thing was Antonella's obvious social status. Julliard plus a semester in Italy without a scholarhip, she clearly came from a family of high status. As much as she hated to admit it, she felt inferior. Outside, she tried to keep her cool. She really didn't want Blaine to think that she was jealous about this, because let's face it, it was a very shallow thing to be jealous about given that Blaine had only met her 4 days ago.

"Julliard. Wow she must be good. Is she?" Rachel asked, still trying to cover her jealousy.

"Mhmm she is. I don't even know why she had to be here, she's a really good guitar player and I'm sure Julliard provides her with exceptional teachers. Both in classical and modern music. You should meet her love," Blaine said, turning his face towards Rachel.

"Maybe. I'm sure she's very talented like you," Rachel said, not thinking about what she said, and before she could stop it, the words were out of her mouth.

"Yeah she is, very talented, but not like me because me mentoring her would have been useless if that was the fact. And it's amazing how she maintains her hands! She said that she tries to moisturize it every 3 hours to prevent it from getting calloused. It's really cool. Yep, you should definitely meet her," Blaine said to her.

"Wow you look really amazed by her. That's great Blaine," Rachel said the words without much enthusiasm. Now he was talking about her skin. Awesome, just awesome.

"I am, but as a mentor only. I've never really met anyone in the course with soft hands like hers," Blaine said, saying it in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Well you should ask for tips from her then! I bet she'll give you great advice since she's so amazing and lovely!" Rachel said with a pitch higher than normal. She really didn't mean to, but all this talk about Toni was getting her frustrated.

As soon as Blaine heard Rachel's tone, he stopped them both from walking and looked straight at her. He looked at her with worry playing in his eyes. Blaine was thinking very hard. Rachel couldn't possibly be jealous of Toni? He barely knew her, and besides, he loved Rachel so much and he thought that he had proven that to her.

"Rach love, are you jealous of Toni?" Blaine said, slightly tilting his head to his side.

"Toni? Oh now you have a nickname thing?" Rachel thought to herself, feeling her blood simmer.

"No, I'm not jealous of Toni Blaine. What makes you think that?" Rachel said, turning again towards the street. Before she could even take a step, Rachel felt Blaine's hand in her shoulders and turned her to face him.

"What makes me think it is that you just spat out her name and that you've practically ordered me to worship her hands, and the tone you use while talking about her is not your normal loving tone that you have when you talk to me, Rach..." Blaine said to her, trying to look into her eyes which have been avoiding his the whole time.

"Blaine! No, you're being silly, I'm not jealous," Rachel said to him, still trying to avoid his eyes.

"Tisero mio, per favore, what's going on?" Blaine said, feeling a little worried about what was happening. As much as he wanted to teach Toni, Rachel being jealous would mean that he had to talk to his professor about their arrangements. He loved Rachel too much and if being a mentor to a woman meant hurting her, he would rather drop it than seeing her like this.

"Blaine I just...ok so maybe I do feel jealous. I'm sorry, but I just...she gets to spend time with you while I only get to spend time with you after class. And even then she has to spend time with your for an hour after dismissal, so that would be an hour less from mine. And then what if she falls for your wonderful curls or your gorgeous eyes or your breath taking smile and tries to seduce you and you fall for it and then you'll be like 'oh my god yey I get to go get laid after Rachel holding me back for a year! Yes!' and then you'll realise that you've fallen for her and then y—," Rachel was cut off by Blaine's kiss.

Blaine felt warmth spread in his heart as she heard Rachel's explanation. She was babbling. Babbling away like a teenager; and he knew that when she did that, it only meant that she was worried. And from everything Rachel was saying at the moment, Blaine only felt more loved, and he felt lucky to be loved by this woman standing in front of her that the only reasonable thing he felt to do was to lean in and kiss her. As they parted, Rachel had tears clinging on the side of her eyes and he was looking at him, her eyebrows still a little together but not as much.

"You really feel all of that?" Blaine asked her, resting his forehead in hers.

"Yes...you think I'm silly don't you?" she said nodding, focusing on Blaine's lips to avoid his eyes.

"No, I think it's normal. And adorable..." Blaine trailed off, pressing his thumb over Rachel cheek to wipe away the tear that had fallen in it.

"Rachel, I love you, and so what if she has me after dismissal? I'll be thinking about you the whole time. And so what if she does seduce me? I'm sure I'll be too tired from school and my thoughts will be filled by you to be turned on anyway. And so what if you've been holding me off from doing the deed for about a year now? I'm sure that when we finally do it, all the waiting will be nothing but worth it. I don't call you 'love' for no reason Rachel. I call you love because I love you, and it'll have to be something worse than a girl from Julliard to take me away from you," Blaine said to her while cupping her face.

Rachel couldn't help but cry as Blaine said those words to her. Yep, this whole jealousy thing had been nothing but stupid, but the end was definitely worth it. Sure, she still felt nervous about the whole Antonella thing, but she trusted Blaine. And from what she heard, well, Blaine was definitely not going anywhere soon.

"I love you. Sorry, really. This whole thing was silly," Rachel said, finally giving Blaine a smile.

"I love you more. Shall we go get you home?" Blaine said, kissing Rachel on the cheek.

"Mhmm," Rachel said, and they both continued their walk, feeling happier.

Antonella's POV

"God!" Toni said as she placed down her guitar in her bed.

She had been trying to study the recent piece her professor from Julliard e-mailed to her, but to her dismay, all her thoughts had been filled with nothing but Blaine's eyes and lips.

His lips

Yep, she did nothing but stared at them during their session earlier that afternoon. They were luscious and soft-looking that all she wanted was to lean in and have a taste. Of course she didn't because that would have been nothing but awkward. Still, she won't deny how much she wanted to.

From the other side of the bed, her roommate Gabriela looked at her, seeing just how frustrated she was.

"You ok Toni?" she asked, looking at her from the top of the book she was reading.

"Yeah, just, I can't get the notes right," she said, turning towards her laptop, her other hand turning the pages of her chart book.

"Lemme see it," Gabriela said, holding out her hand for Toni to give her the laptop. Gabriela was a 4th year music major in Italy. Just like Antonella, she too was majoring in guitar, and she only had about a year or two before graduating, so she could definitely read music sheets.

Toni looked at her, and hesitantly gave her her laptop. As Gabriela scanned through the music sheet, she looked at Toni from the top of her eye glasses and gave her a look of curiosity.

"How can you not read this? This is 1st grade warm-up type of sheet! You can practically sail right through this Toni. Come on, what's really wrong?" Gabriela looked at her, raising her right eyebrow along the way.

Toni didn't know if she could tell Gabriela about Blaine. Even if he was only in his 2nd year, Toni had come to find out that he was quite well known, mainly due to the fact that he was so advanced that he could practically finish the course in 5 or 6 years. Totally different from the normal 8-10. As she looked at Gabriela, Toni decided that she should just come clean. Besides, she knew Gabriela won't let her sleep for weeks unless she spilled. Before she spoke, Antonella took a deep breath and sighed. She has to do a lot of explaining.

"Ok, promise not to tell? I mean, really, promise?" Toni said to her, trying to look serious.

"Dear, the secrets my friends back in the States have been kept safe by me since they said them back in the 3rd grade. I can handle a secret, and who knows? Maybe I can give you a reasonable advice!" Gabriela said to her, making a bubble with her gum afterwards.

"Ok. It's a guy," Gabriela rolled her eye, "And he's my mentor."

Mentor? Blaine Anderson the sophomore? Oh wow

"You mean Anderson? Blaine?" Gabriela said to her, her eyes widening by the minute.

"Yeah, him..." Toni whispered, looking befallen.

"But, doesn't he have a girlfriend? I heard rumours and they spread like wildfire especially when it's about someone such as Blaine. Does he know?" she asked, her eyebrows pulling together.

"Uhm no. And yes he does, that's why I haven't and will never tell him," she replied, suddenly finding her nails to be interesting.

"Toni. A guy is free until he is married. And even then, you could still hook up with them if they're not good with the loyalty side of life. You should be fine!" Gabriela said to her, giving her a grin.

"Gab! No, I know he's in love with her deeply! And besides, I would be a total bitch if I did do that," Toni said to her, looking tensed.

"Sheesh, you'd rather be like this than tell your crush you like him? Toni if you don't want to say it, show it! Body language was given to you for a reason! Use your flirting skills once in a while, it actually helps on the stress. How do you think I managed to survive reading all those notes every school work?" Gab gave her a wink as she returned to her book.

That night, Antonella Brown could not sleep. Gabriela was right. Blaine wasn't married. And she really liked Blaine. Sure the norm back in the US says that it's the men who should ask women out but she was Italy, and in Italy it was different. And no one knew her. As she closed her eyes, Toni was decided.

She would try to get Blaine. She definitely would.
