Practically Daddy [COMPLETE]

Chapter 8

The next morning, I woke up with literally thousands of notifications. I checked my phone and I got two thousand more Twitter followers! I scrolled through my feed and I saw the selfie of Sal and I. Sal tweeted it. Adopted the best girl ever a few days ago. Secret is out. Love you Jo. The picture was underneath the tweet. I was tagged in it. I couldn't believe it! Sal wasn't embarrassed of me. He tweeted about me!

I went on Instagram on my fanpage account. My notifications were blown up. There were hundreds of comments saying things like No wonder you haven't been on in so long. You were adopted by Sal! Others said You're so lucky! You live with Sal! I was blushing. I can't believe I'm kinda "famous" now!

I went downstairs and saw Sal sitting on the couch, holding a pillow.

"Good morning, famous" he said, laughing.

"Haha. Stop" I said.

"You know how when Joe had Milana, everyone went crazy for her? Well that's happening to you" he said.

I didn't say anything. I was shocked. I read all the replies on the tweet. People either said I was "pretty" or "lucky." I bet they were just saying that to be nice.

"Jo" Sal said.

"What's up?" I said.

"Come here. I'm giving you my phone number, and the guys' too. I have to trust you though, don't give it to anyone. Okay?" he said.

"Okay. I'm just gonna tweet about it."

He gave me a look. "Very funny, Jo."

"Okay I'm gonna go take a shower" Sal said.

"Cool. I'll go after you" I said.

"But I have two showers. You know I have one of my own in my room, right?"

"Yeah, like you'd let me in your room" I said.

"One day I'll let you, but today there's a mess."

"Sal Vulcano's room is a mess! That's new" I said.

"Haha. Stop insulting me!" he laughed.

He went into his room and I heard the shower start running. I got a towel out of my suitcase and went into the bathroom. I should really unpack.

I came out of the shower with an entirely shaved body. I had nobody to shave for, I just like being hairless. I washed my hair with Sal's awesome man shampoo and conditioner. I should really start using that. It works on teen girl hair!

"Jo!" Sal screamed from the shower.

"Yeah?" I said.

"Get dressed! We're going to set again today" he yelled.

Yes! I love going to set. It's really fun behind the scenes of my favorite show ever! I'm so grateful for this new life!

"Jo! Murray just texted me saying that we are going to dinner to celebrate you being adopted by me. Sound cool?" Sal said from his room.

"Yeah. Sounds fun" I said. I lied. I didn't want to have a celebration on me. That's kinda a douche thing to do. It's also kinda awkward. But there is gonna be food so it's alright.

I put on a crop top with white and red stripes and wore black ripped jeans. It was supposed to be a hot day. Sal came out with his hair looking horrible. It was cute, though.

We got into the car and started driving to Fairway Supermarket. It was a pretty fun challenge. They had to clip balloons on shoppers again. They haven't done that in a while. Sal even did some grocery shopping while they were filming.

At around 6, they took me to an Italian restaurant. It was going to be a pretty fun night. Bessy even came.

"Hey, Jo. Nice to meet you" Bessy said.

"Nice to meet you too" I said.

"If you ever need to talk to me, about anything at all, just call me. Here's my number" Bessy said.

"Thank you so much" I said.

"So Jo, how do you like living with Sal? Is he annoying or is he pretty cool?" Joe asked.

"Eh he's alright" I said.

Joe and Q laughed.

The waiter walked over. "Hello! What would you guys like to eat tonight?" he said.

"I'll have a Caesar salad" Bessy said.

I wish I was as healthy as her.

"I'll have a brick oven pizza, a calzone, and spaghetti and meatballs" Joe said.

"Seriously Joe? Okay, I'll have the penne pasta, with sauce on the side please" Sal said.

"I'll have the grilled chicken pasta" I said.

"I'll have that too" Murr said.

"I'll just have the brick oven pizza" Q said.

The waiter left and we were all alone to talk. Once the waiter left the table, a girl came up to our table. She was about my age, but way prettier.

"Hey! I love you guys so much!" she said.

"Aw thank you" Sal said.

"How old are you?" Joe asked.

"I'm fifteen" she said.

"And you are so cute and pretty!" Sal said.

I rolled my eyes. I felt bad about that, but Sal should know not to say something like that in front of me. I get jealous easily. Bessy and I were standing on the side.

"Don't worry. They're just being nice. This happens a lot, you'll get used to it. Sometimes, they even recognize you" Bessy said.

When Bessy said that, the girl walked over to us and said "Hi Bessy!"

"Hi sweetie!" Bessy said.

"Wait a minute. I know who you are. You're the girl Sal adopted!" she said to me.

"Yeah. That's me" I said.

"Wow. Congrats. I'm guessing this dinner is all for you. You little whore" she said to me.

"No it's for me and Sal. I would shut the fuck up before I punch you in your ugly fucking mouth, slut" I said. I didn't know what I just said.

"Oh no! Then your daddy will yell at you. You don't want that, do you?" she said.

With that, I lifted my hand to hit her, but I couldn't do it. I couldn't embarrass everyone.

She walked back to her table. There were a bunch of kids there and an old woman. They all left and boarded on a bus. The bus said Manhattan Orphanage on it. I realized why she hated me: she wanted to be adopted. I felt sorry for her, except I didn't like her nasty attitude.

I sat back down. The food came. I got hungry from all of the drama that just happened.

"Oh yes. Time to pig out" Joe said.

The food was delicious. Sal didn't like it, of course. He was hard to please.

Nobody talked much during the dinner. We were too into our food.

Soon after, Joe ordered something on the desert menu called "The Massively Gigantic Red Velvet Cake." Sal and I got excited. We love red velvet. While we were waiting for the cake, Murr said "Jo, how many Twitter followers do you have now? Probably a lot."

"I have about two thousand. Not that much, but they just follow me cause I was adopted by Sal."

Sal nodded. He wasn't nodding because of what I said. He was nodding at the waiter bringing us our cake. It was huge. It had about ten gigantic slices. I took a bunch of pictures. We all ate. There were a lot left since they were huge. Joe and Q each took two home.

After fights about who was paying, I posted a picture of the cake on Twitter. The tweet said Love the cake! Thanks guys! It got three likes and two retweets in the first second it was on. So this is what it's like to be famous.
