Amelie's POV

"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Los Angeles Airport. The local time is 6:02 pm and the temperature is 81 degrees F. For your safety, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened until the Captain has turned off the Fasten Seat Belt sign. This will indicate that we have parked at the..."

"Finally here," I say, turning to Jason.

"Yes!" he says, kissing me on the cheek.

"On behalf of American Airlines, we'd like to thank you for flying with us. We are looking forward to seeing you on board again in the near future. Have a nice evening!" finishes the flight attendant.

"I missed everyone so much, though I loved Switzerland!" I say.

"Yes! Me, too. I had a great time. Thank you for coming with me."

"Ohh, please, Jason...Thank YOU for taking me with you, and for making me your fiancé."

He smiles at me and squeezes my hand, tightly.

"So...do you agree with the date of the wedding? January 12th?" I ask.

"It is perfect," he says.

We finally arrive at the gate and the Fasten Seat Belt sign is turned off by the Captain. Jason and I grab all of our things, and carefully disembark the Boeing 767-300 that flew us back home. We walk through the airport for a few minutes until we get to the Baggage Claim area. Our luggage finally arrives. We take it and walk through the class doors dividing this and the arrival waiting area. As we step out, I listen to several shouts.

"AMELIE!"

Melissa, Kaley, and Mayim are here. I run over to them and we group hug.

"AHHHHHH!!!" they scream.

"I missed you so much, bride!" says Kaley. "We all did!"

"I can't believe you are finally here! We have to start organizing everything if your wedding will be on January," says Melissa.

"It will be the best wedding ever!!" says Mayim, excited.

"Girls, thank you very much," I say. "We should get together right now so that we can organize NYC!"

"YEESSS! We should let Beth know," says Melissa.

"To my house, right now?" I ask.

"Yesssss!!!!" says Mayim, clapping her hands.

"Let's go!" exclaims Kaley.

We start walking towards the car and I go to Jason's side.

"Do you mind if the girls and I get together tonight to plan the visit to New York?" I ask.

"No! Of course not, dear. You can do whatever you want. Have fun," he says, hugging me.

"Thank you, Jason. You are the best."

With this, Jason goes to the car we came in to the airport a week ago, and I go to Melissa's car with the girls.

"To my house," I say.

Melissa starts the car and carefully drives through the roads of L.A, all of us chatting.

"Jim wanted to come, but he got stuck with Chuck in the studio," says Kaley.

"Awww, I miss him a lot," I say, "but I'll invite him tomorrow morning to have coffee with me, so that I can ask him if he would like to be my maid of honor."
