SM owns. NOT BETA'D.

Witfit prompt: "I'm Yours, heart and soul," he said.

"Surprise!"

Friends and family shout as I unlock her door. Her face is priceless.

"Oh, my God! Are you serious? You guys!" She stares at everyone wide-eyed, taking in the over-the-top decorations crowned with the huge "Welcome Home" banner.

It's all Alice.

As she's pulled into a to of directions and hugs, her hand remains firmly in mind and she doesn't seem to want to let go. She pulls me along. I'm not complaining.

I'm patted hard on the back my Em. "Heh. I heard about all the wooing and shit, man. You pulled it off. Nice!" His grin is wide as he squeezes my shoulder.

"Ow, fuck, Em. Yeah, it was touch and go there for a while, dude. But everything worked out."

"Don't fuck it up again," he says, pointing his finger at me and leveling me with his stare. I know he's halfway joking. Only halfway. Em's fiercely loyal and protective.

I nod and smile, letting myself get pulled by Bella's hand as we make our way towards the end of all the guests. Rose gives her a huge hug, as does Alice.

"Gah! I'm so glad you're home. We need a girls' night STAT. Tomorrow! What do you say?" Alice says immediately. Bella smiles indulgently before shifting her eyes to me momentarily. She's looking for backup. Shit, I want her all to myself tomorrow... and the next day... and the day after that. But then again, I've had her to myself for the last week. I try not to be selfish.

Before I can give her the option, my darling sister pipes in.

"Uh, Aly, maybe we should give B a chance to get home and get over her jet lag, you know? We'll get together later in the week, right, Bella?"

I love my sister.

"Oh, yes! Yeah, totally! But Rose is right. I kinda just wanna chill at home a bit, get my bearings again, unpack and do laundry. You know how it is," Bella lets her down easy.

Alice glances at me, narrowing her eyes knowingly.

"Oh, I get it. You want to spend time with the boyfriend. Fair enough. I'd do the same if I were you. I'll text you later in the week then." She sighs dramatically, like this is all a big fucking inconvenience. But I know she's fucking with her. I smirk as I thank them and pull my girl away from the crowd.

I give her a hug, my arms encircling her completely, tightly, all of me to all of her. She sighs.

"I'm so happy to be home. I can't believe you guys did this. Even Mom and Dad!"

"It's all for you, B. They all love you."

She leans away from my chest to look up at me. "How about you?"

"Me?"

"Yeah. You said they all love me..." she smiles wickedly. She's messing with me.

I take a deep breath and kiss her soundly, not caring that every one of our friends and family are here watching us.

"Angelgirl, I'm yours, heart and soul."
