(A/N: Thoroughly amused that this story has broken over 6k. It's so much fun to write, I'm glad you guys are enjoying it as much as I am. Btw, did you guys see Darren on Conan last night?? <3/14/17> He's just so precious!! I just wanted to grab his cheeks and hug him.  Can't wait for the Supergirl/Flash crossover with him in it, like a Glee reunion.... Okay back to the story.)

I hope our friends aren't too upset by the note or that we left them, but honestly we just need some couple time.  A moment or two with just Sebastian and I, to forget that we are only 17 years old.

I smile to him as he holds my hand, leading him into my old haunt of a coffee shop.  I am recognized by the barista immediately, a twenty-something girl.

"Ciao, Signorina Anderson!  Come stai?"

I return her smile, "Ciao, Ani. Sto bene, grazie."

Sebastian looks between the two of us throughly confused, eyes darting back and forth like he's watching a tennis match. Ani raises her eyebrow at me, "Lui è carino.... Tuo ragazzo??"

I blush and nod back at her. "Ani, this is Sebastian." He smiles shyly at her and she just winks at me, mouthing back lucky girl. As if remembering she still has a job to do, she looks at us again. "Okay, so I'm assuming you want your usual Shannon." I nod and she continues, "And for tuo carino ragazzo??"

I turn and smile at Sebastian. "Sebby, she wants to know what my 'cute boyfriend' would like to drink." Sebastian just looks blankly from me to Ani to the menu and back again. I sigh, I think I broke him. "Okay, I'm assuming he wants a Caramel Latte, closest to his usual. Neat idea, you have Courvoisier back there??" She checks and nods, I catch Sebastian smiling and raising his eyebrow out of the corner of my eye. "Add a shot to his please..." She quickly nods and I pass over some money while waiting for our drinks.

Sebastian wraps his arms around me and whispers softly in my ear, "Have I mentioned lately how much I love you, my Princess? My beautiful fiancée..." I turn around in his arms, smiling sweetly up at him. "Are you just saying that because you finally get your coffee just how you used to? You only love me because I can hook you up...." I pout. He just laughs slightly and leans down to press a small kiss to my lips. "Love, I asked you to marry me before I discovered this secret super power of yours. This is just a delicious bonus for me."

I move to kiss him back when I hear a light chuckle from behind me.  I turn to see Ani placing our drinks on the counter.  "Engaged?  Interesting.... Assuming neither of your parents know about this." Sebastian pales slightly and I'm blushing. She just smiles and winks at us. "Don't worry, I'll keep your secret as long as you don't tell anyone I gave liquor to a teenager." Sebastian grabs both of our coffees as I smile back at her. "You've got a deal! Grazie mille!!  Gotta run, I need to show this sexy man around." She winks and calls out, "Ciao you two!!"

Sebastian passes me my cup and holds the door open for us to exit the coffee shop.  Once we are outside he grabs my hand again and sips his drink.  I can hear him sighing dreamily.  "Good, Seb?"  He looks at me as we begin to walk away from the coffee shop, a boyish grin on his face.  "I forgot how good that is.  I feel like I'm strolling through the streets of Paris again, only with you this time Pretty Girl."

I giggle gleefully, "I'm happy I can make your day Sebastian.  Maybe one day we can ACTUALLY do that."  He drops a kiss in my hair, "Promise..."

We begin to wander the streets, I've got a destination in mind.  Sebastian peppers me with questions along the way.  "Shann, what was up with the exchange in the coffee shop?  I didn't know you spoke, Italian was it, that well."  I nod and sip my coffee.  "Blame La Tavola Italiana."

He glances at me quizzically as we near a large university building.  "La what??"  I laugh softly, he's so cute.  "La Tavola Italiana, 'Italian Table Talk'. That coffee shop holds it for Pitt's Italian students every Thursday afternoon.  I would hang out there after class waiting for my parents to finish work.  Just picked up the language.  Much like I'm assuming you did with French while in Paris." He just nods, completely understanding.

We reach the large building and I start to circle us around it, looking for an open patch of lawn to sit on. It's still fairly early, so it isn't as crowded as it will be later. I stop when I find a fairly private spot in the sun and gesture for him to sit down. He does so and glances up at me curiously as I sit as well. "Where are we??" I motion around to the few college students on the lawn around us and then point up at the building, "Cathedral of Learning. Largest building on campus. My parents' offices are in there. On warm days, it feels like everyone in Oakland is hanging out somewhere on the lawn."

He nods again and pulls me in to sit in front of him, wrapping his arms around me as we watch the world pass us by.  We sit here contently for a while.  Sebastian occasionally dropping sweet kisses in my hair.

Talking about nothing important.

Talking about everything.

"Princess, I can't believe I've only known you for less than two months. It honestly feels like you've been here forever."

I turn around to face him, a smile on my face. He is so sweet, and I feel exactly the same way. Just as I am about the speak my phone rings.

'Prince Ali'

Sebastian and I both glance at each other. "It's Blaine." He gulps nervously, "He's going to murder me..." I rest a reassuring hand on Sebastian's cheek and he just looks at me as I swipe to answer my phone, placing the call on speaker.

**phone call**
"Belle?? Where are you!?" Blaine sounds like he is panicking.

"Hey Killer, its Bas! Pretty Girl is driving so you're on speaker."

Sebastian winks at me. I'm trying my hardest to control myself as Blaine continues on, sputtering out, "Driving?! Where? Where are you guys driving to?"

"Um....  I'm not really familiar with these roads. Shann, where did you say we were again?"

He winks at me and motions for me to keep the story spinning.  "I-79 north.  Looks like we just passed the sign for Zelienople.  Wow, we're making excellent time so far.  Hey Blaine, what's up?"

I can hear the strain in his voice on the other end of the line. "Shanny-dear, what do you and Sebastian think you're doing?"

I just laugh softly and look at Sebastian, he winks at me again. I respond as innocently as I can, "Blainey, you didn't read our note??"

I can hear murmuring on the other end of the phone, he must have us on speaker phone as well. "Shannon Lynn Anderson?! Sebastian, I just realized I don't know your middle name, Smythe?! You get back here this instant!!"

I giggle, "That's easier said than done Blainey-bear. There isn't really an exit around. Oh and I know Sebastian's middle name if you really want to know. It's..."

"Pretty Girl, you wouldn't. You promised."

"Fine Seb. But you owe me...."

"Don't worry. When we stop I'll give you my..."

All we hear from the other end is an angry screech. Sebastian just smirks at me and whispers, "Well played Love. I think they're buying it..."

Suddenly a new voice comes on the line. "Bas, its Thad. We had to physically restrain Blaine. He wants to come after you guys. He's really angry. Please tell me that you're joking and not really driving to Canada to get married..."

"Sebby should we tell them??"

"Hmmm.... I suppose Princess. Just make sure Blaine doesn't kill me."

"I'll try.... Guys are you all there?? Everyone listening?"

We hear various voices calling out murmured responses.  I can hear Blaine responding through what sounds like clenched teeth, "Shannon, I love you dearly.  Now what is going on, because I will not hesitate to turn Sebastian into a girl if you are really running away like this..."

Sebastian just raises an eyebrow at me and mouths see.   I hold up my hand to quiet him as I formulate a response.  "Okay children, we're not really driving to Canada.  Shoot, I'm not even driving right now."

I hear Brittney's voice call out, "See I knew they wouldn't get married without inviting us!  Lord Tubbington is supposed to be the ring bearer..."

Sebastian just shakes his head while I giggle at what the blonde cheerleader just said. Next voice I hear is Santana's. "That's enough Britt. So where are you and Tall, Dark and Wanky then?"

"First, I need Blaine to promise he won't hurt Sebastian. And then I'll tell you guys."

I hear sighing on the other end of the phone. "Fine.... But Shann, where are you guys. You're really worrying me."

I smile at Sebastian and he squeezes my hand. "Cathedral Lawn."

"What?! You're in Oakland? Why?"

"Geeze guys, is it too much to ask to want a little time alone with my girlfriend?! I mean, the girls were spying on us last night. I feel like everyone is always interrupting us...."

"Sebby, it's okay. Guys, we just wanted some time alone. So I figured I would show him some of my old world. Have coffee and relax alone. Problems??"

We can hear mumbling and soft apologies from the other end of the line. Suddenly Blaine's voice comes back across, "Belle, I'm sorry. We'll let you get back to your morning. Your note just had me really worried. And Bas, you're safe. For now."

Sebastian lets out a breath that I didn't even realize he was holding in.  "Well, I guess we'll see you later Blainey.  Please entertain everyone for us.  I'll stop at the store on the way home to pick up the ingredients for dinner."

"Yea, later boys, girls, Killer."

"Bye.... I guess."
**end of phone call**

With that we disconnect the call.  Sebastian pulls me back towards him, wrapping his arms around me and holding me close to him.  "That was close Pretty Girl.  I thought I was a goner..."

"Little do they know that note wasn't that far from the truth."  I lean in to kiss him softly.

"I will marry you, Pretty Girl.  Not today. But soon, you'll be Mrs Shannon Smythe."  I pull him to his feet so we can continue our exploration of campus.  "I can't wait Sebastian."
