I open the door to find Leah, Gabbie, Caitlin and Jada inside Leah and I's shared room and step out of the room "Kate wait up" I yell "yeah?" She says turning around.
"They're all in here would you like to join?" I grin as she makes her way back and into the room. "Hey girlies how was your outing?" Jada asks. "It was good y'all turned in too early" I tell them. "Bella we're in Albany" Caitlin laughs "okay true but the shops here are so cute" I say.
"Did you guys get anything?" Gabbie asks "just this little stuffed bunny" I say pulling it out of the bag "a jellycat how cute" Leah awes. "Right Kate got it for me we're sharing custody" I say "look at you two co parenting" Gabbie jokes making us all laugh.
"That's so sweet of you kate" Leah smiles "yeah that is so sweet Kate and so adorable you two are cute" Caitlin smirks over at Kate. "You know one time I was so hungry during a class and Kate drove to me to drop lunch off for me" Jada says.
"Oh there was this other time when I needed to move furniture and no one wanted to help me and Kate was the only one that stepped up to help me" Gabbie adds "just Kate being her usual Kate self we love her" Caitlin smiles.
"Awh yeah she is really sweet that's so nice of you kate" I smile while she's looking over at her teammates. "Well yeah just love my people" Kate shrugs. "And you're now apart of her people" Caitlin smiles over to me "apart of our people" she adds "aw you girls are so sweet" I smile.
"Just as long as you guys invite us to your Charleston beach house" Jada says "wowwwww are you using us right now" Leah laughs. "Of course" is the last thing before the bickering amongst themselves start.
"I am going to shower real quick so I'll be back" I tell Kate she simply nods before I run into the shower.

"You smell good very soft" Gabbie tells me as she's braiding my damp hair. "Thank you I use the pink eos lotion and Burberry her good stuff right there" I tell her. "I went to smell the vanilla cashmere one because everyone raved about it on tiktok and it was so bad" she laughs.
"Yeessss it smells so bad like I can't even describe it but that does not smell good whatsoever" I laughs agreeing with her. "I really like the sol de jainero though" "ouuu that one is good too" I say agreeing with gabbie.
"The time went by so fast four days was not enough" Jada says. "I agree and I think we have to do this again soon maybe we'll go out to Iowa" Leah teases. "Why don't you guys just stay longer?" Caitlin asks. "I have to go back home and grab samples and the next day I go to LA" Leah says "what about you Noel?" She turns to me.
"Mm I don't really have anything to do I'm filming New York content as I go but I mean I'd be by myself here" I shrug. "You'd have us" "but I'd leave Leah on her own" I reason. "For a day I'm leaving you on your own for like a week and a half" Leah says laughing.
"There's also the girls out there" I say referring to our friends Kayleigh and Marcie. "Babe sorry to say but they are not going to be visiting you they are too concerned with their lives right now" Leah says laughing.
"Bella you should totally stay" Gabbie says "yeah I don't see why not I mean it's two more days until our next game and if we win we'll be in Cleveland for the rest of the week but you could also come along for that if you want" Caitlin says planning her days out.
"You can get more of the sports scene feel" Kate nudges me making me smile thinking back at a conversation we had earlier. "That does sound cool" I smile "cmon you can crash in one of our rooms" Jada suggests. "Well I mean I guess I could stay" I say and they cheer at my decision.
