(Friday)

The sun shined through Pierce's hotel room in the morning and the DemonChild stretched and woke up. He remembered his date with Carmella later today. He was about to prepare his breakfast until he heard a knock on the door.

Pierce: who is that?

Carmella: it's me!

Pierce's eyes light up as he opened the door to see the Princess of Staten Island with a happy smile on her face.

Pierce: good morning to you

Carmella: can I have breakfast with you?

Pierce: you came at the right time, I was about to cook something, so come in

She happily obliged and Pierce shut the door. He went to the kitchen where Carmella is sitting at the table occupying herself with her phone. As Pierce was cooking, Carmella scrolled through social media to find another vignette promoting the arrival of the mysterious Macedonian Superstar.

Carmella: hey Pierce, look at this

Pierce turned off the stove and went to Carmella.

Pierce: what's going on?

Carmella: WWE released another video of that mystery Superstar

They watched the 30 second clip showing the Macedonian flag waving with its flagpole planted on what looks like a castle or chateau placed in a mountain range. Then the camera pans down to the front of the castle to see the same shepherd's staff, but turned out to be a sword in disguise as the crook part of the staff is the sword's handle and the long shaft is the holster. Then a figure came out and picked up the sword before going back in. Then a message popped up on the screen which was just a simple one that says, "Next Week, the Duke of the Balkans arrives."

Carmella: the Duke of the Balkans?

Pierce: I believe that's the mountain range where that chateau is

Carmella: we won't know who he is until next week on Raw

Pierce: yeah, I'll finish cooking

He went back and turned the stove back on to finish cooking. Then he served two plates for him and Carmella.

Carmella: this is delicious

Pierce: I'm glad you liked it

Carmella: so Pierce, about our date later?

Pierce: oh yeah, I'm glad you brought that up; I was thinking lunch

Carmella: ooh, I love to!

Pierce: I'm looking forward later

Carmella: so Pierce, how long have you known Peyton and Billie?

Pierce: I've known them for a long time since our days in NXT, they're like sisters to me; now looking at them with their relationships makes me happy for them especially Peyton because of her cute little baby in her arms.

Carmella: Josh and Travis are such good men to them

Pierce: they are

Carmella: I'm really looking forward for our date tonight

She blushed a bit, but Pierce noticed and smirked.

Pierce: you're cute when you blush

Carmella: stop

She blushed more, but hid it with her hands. Then Pierce went to take a shower while Carmella went back to her room to take a shower as well.

(5 minutes later)

Pierce finished and wrapped a towel around his waist. Then DemonChild spoke to him in his mind.

DemonChild: you're a real man, Pierce

 Pierce: Carmella is really pretty

DemonChild: Cass lost a good one

Pierce: his loss

DemonChild: now you have a date with the Princess later

Pierce: who do you think is the mystery man coming to Raw?

DemonChild: I do not know, that staff sword is something

Then there was a knock on the door.

Pierce: Mella is that you?

Carmella: yeah, I finished showering!

Pierce: come in, the door is unlocked!

Carmella went in and sat down on the couch. Pierce came out wearing only a pair of pants and socks. 

Pierce: oh you're here

Carmella: yeah, I finished-

As she turned around, her cheeks were red

Pierce: Mella, are you alright?

The Staten Island Princess was in a trance as her eyes were on Pierce's six pack abs. Then she shook her head.

Carmella: huh, yeah I'm fine

Pierce smirked.

Pierce: I'm gonna get my shirt

Carmella: okay

He went into his bedroom to change.

Carmella: he makes me melt

In his room, Pierce picked out a good shirt to wear. Then he went to the living room to see Carmella. He was at awe of her beauty as she was wearing an off shoulder blouse and denim shorts that shows her tone and tanned legs.

Pierce: you look beautiful

Carmella: aww, thanks!

Pierce: come on, let's go out for our date

Carmella: okay!

The two left Pierce's hotel room to go around the town. While the two were riding in Pierce's car, Mella got her phone out and went live on Instagram.

Carmella: hey guys, if you want to know where I'm at...

She pointed her phone camera to Pierce in which he did a funny smile. The fans quickly assumed that they're together as in relationship wise. Carmella saw the comments and giggled.

Carmella: calm down guys, Pierce and I are just good friends, we're not together-

Pierce stopped at a traffic light, and smirked before sneaking in.

Pierce: -yet

That sent the fans into a frenzy as they immediately started to ship the two together. Carmella blushed at the fan's comments while Pierce smirked as he read through.

As the traffic light turned green, Pierce continued driving while Carmella was about to sign off.

Carmella: well I'll see you guys later, and I'll update you all about the two of us, bye!

Pierce continued driving for another 15 minutes before they pulled up at a local restaurant. 

Carmella: this looks good, and I'm hungry

Pierce: I'm hungry too, let's go!

The two got out of the car and went inside the restaurant. The atmosphere of the place is family friendly. Carmella and Pierce found a table for the two of them to sit at. While Pierce looked through the menu to see what he wants to eat, Carmella took her phone out and seized the opportunity to snap a stolen shot of Pierce.

Pierce: delete that

Carmella: no, you look handsome in this shot

Pierce: real funny

Carmella: I won't post this, I promise

Pierce ordered a pork sirloin with salad while Carmella ordered the classic lasagna. As the two ate, Pierce noticed some sauce on Carmella's cheek.

Pierce: Mella, you got some sauce on you

Carmella: where?

Pierce: on your left cheek, hold on I got it

He stood up and wiped the sauce from her cheek with his thumb. Carmella smiled and lightly blushed.

Carmella: thanks Pierce

Pierce smiled and nodded.

As they finished, the waiter gave them the bill.

Carmella: okay, let me get my card-

Pierce: no, allow me Carmella

Pierce got a $100 bill out of his pocket and hand it to the waiter. Carmella smiled at the DemonChild. The two went out and Pierce opened the door for Mella in which the Princess of Staten Island smiled

Carmella: you're such a gentleman; Cass never does that to me

Pierce: didn't he lose to Daniel Bryan last year and then quit?

Carmella: yes, exactly

Pierce: and how dare he dumps a beautiful woman like you?

Carmella blushed heavily and started to tear up a bit; Pierce went up and sat down beside Mella to comfort her.

Pierce: I'm not like Cass; I'll be here for you

Carmella tearfully smiled and Pierce embraced her. The two exited the car and went inside the hotel. As they stopped on their floor, Pierce escorted Carmella to her room.

Carmella: thanks for a great lunch date, Pierce

Pierce: you're welcome

As Mella was about to go in her room, Pierce stopped her.

Pierce: wait!

Carmella: yes Pierce?

Pierce: if it's okay with you, can we do this another time?

Carmella: are you asking me out to another date?

Pierce: if it's okay?

Carmella smiled.

Carmella: I love to go on another date with you

Pierce: okay, next Saturday?

Carmella: it's a date

Pierce: great, see you on Monday

As the DemonChild was about to leave, Carmella stopped him.

Carmella: wait Pierce!

Pierce: you need something?

Mella didn't say anything; she walked up to the DemonChild and placed her hands on his shoulder. Then Carmella kissed Pierce on the cheek, much to his surprise.

Carmella: thank you again, Pierce

Pierce nodded and placed his hand on his cheek.

Carmella: you're so cute

Carmella giggled and went to her room. Pierce walked to his door and went inside. He sat down on the couch as DemonChild spoke to him again.

DemonChild: seems the date went well

Pierce: yes

DemonChild: if anyone dares to harm her, I'll be in your mind ready for battle

Pierce: thank you

He put his hand on his cheek and smiled as he relaxed for the rest of the day.

(With Carmella)

She went to her bed and laid down as she thought about Pierce.

Carmella's mind: am I developing a liking towards Pierce?

Then the Princess of Staten Island blushed heavily and smiled while she hid her face in her pillow. Then she took a nap with a cute smile on her face.
