American Idol Celebrity Guest Judge

Chapter 5: First Date

I woke up the next morning thinking this was all a dream but when I opened my eyes there beside me laid Joe sleeping peacefully. I grabbed my phone to see if there was anything new on Instagram and there it was something about Sophie. It was a picture of her with some guy holding hands down the street and the caption read: Sophie Turner moves on from Joe with a new guy weeks after engagement called off from former Jonas Brother. I tried not to wake Joe but reading the comments were hilarious, he stirred and slowly opened his eyes. "What's so funny?" He asked me. "The comments I'm reading on this Instagram post, its about Sophie." I replied. "Let me see that." He replied back. I showed him the post and what all of the comments were and to my surprise he laughed along. "Now that she's with someone else we can go public with ours." Joe said smiling at me grabbing his phone to take a picture of me. He posted it on his snapstory with a single heart, as well as his Instagram and tagging me in it and of course as soon as it was posted both of our phones are blown up with comments from fans. I got up out of bed to go take a shower and see what my day has in store. I checked my email and saw I had an email from the American Idol producers about coming in for the next round. "I got an email from the producer about the next round." I told Joe as he came back in the room. "I can take you over there then we can go out for lunch as our first date." He replied. "Sounds good to me." I replied smiling at him. We left the hotel room to go to the studio where the show being filmed, and as soon as we got to the door a swarm of paparazzi surrounded us taking our pictures and asking questions. Joe opened the door for me to get in the car and we both got in quickly. "Shew that was a rush." I told him as soon as the door closed. "You will get use to it, and once you do its like they aren't there anymore." He replied back leaning over to grab my hand. I was so nervous to be going to the studio, of course they would know about Joe and I thats what makes me nervous. When we got to the studio, I gave Joe a quick kiss and headed inside. Dave the producer and I talked about the shows air date and what all I needed to do. When it was over, I headed to the car to see Joe talking on the phone. I raised my eyebrows at him and he mouthed "my mom." I sat down next to him and off we went to a fancy restaurant for lunch. "You will meet her soon I promise." Joe told his mom before hanging up. "She wants to meet me?" I asked him. "Yep all of my family does actually." He replied back. "Wow that makes me nervous." I replied. "Don't worry I will be there right next to you." He replied wrapping his arm around me. Our first date was at an Italian restaurant called Antonio's Italianio, a couple of blocks from the hotel room. The restaurant was absolutely amazing, it felt like I was actually at an Italian country. The food was absolutely amazing, I had chicken alfredo while Joe had a big bowl of spaghetti and meatballs. We sat at the table enjoying our lunch while laughing and smiling. "What?" I asked Joe who was staring at me. "You are just so beautiful." He replied to me making me blush. "Gosh your sweet." I replied back reaching across the table to hold his hand. Joe paid the bill and we headed back to the hotel room to relax from our yummy italian lunch where we ended up taking a long nap.
