Adam and Lute were on the way to the doctor. It had been two weeks since the stabbing. Lute was driving of course in the busy LA traffic. "I will rip your cunt mouth out of your ass!!" she screamed out the window and laid on her horn.
"Woah Lute. Did you just. Fuck-chill" Adam was disturbed by her gruesome words.
"Sorry, sir I'm pissed." She gripped the steering wheel "I hate driving here. So many people" she honked the horn again. She then gunned her car past other cars.
"Take your time. I'd rather not get my stitches taken out." Adam hand's went to his stomach. The pain was now dull. However, he hadn't been sleeping well. He still heard Lute's scream.
"It's not painful. You'll just feel a slight tugging" she assured him.
"Have you had stitches?" Adam asked curiously. Lute seldom spoke about herself.
She shrugged keeping her eyes on the road. "Yeah here and there. Nothing crazy."
They finally arrived at the doctor. "Can you come with me I don't won't be alone" Adam admitted. Usually, Adam went to the doctor himself. But today he needed Lute.
"Sure" Lute parked the car. Glad she could help him. They walked in and Adam signed in. Lute was impressed with the clinic. It was nice here. She knew that Adam deserved the best. She was happy he was getting just that.
He took a seat next to Lute. "I don't want to be here" he fidgeted with the rings on his finger.
"It will be okay" she assured him. She had never seen Adam this nervous before. He had performed in front of thousands of fans and was fine. But now he couldn't get stitches pulled out. It was somewhat funny.
Adam was called back to the room. He took Lute's hand. Lute didn't mind and held onto it.
The next few minutes went by fast. Adam lifted his shirt as the stitches were removed. He held on tight to Lute's hand as they were cut out. He finally breathed a sigh of relief as the last one was pulled out.
"See it's not bad" Lute assured.
The doctor then went on to explain that Adam needed to take it easy. And not infecting the area which meant staying out of pools, and hot tubs, and washing his hands before touching them. He also needed to apply petroleum jelly to the area to keep the scarring minimal.
"That went well," Lute said as they got back into her car. "Wanna get lunch?" she offered. She knew Adam had to be hungry.
"I'm good" Adam laid his head on the car window. "I'm really tired can we just head back?"
"Sure. Do you want me to get takeout?" She noticed how melancholy Adam sounded. She figured food would make him feel good.
"I'm fine" he shrugged. Lute nodded and they drove back to his place.
"I'm going to go take a nap." Adam walked off to his bedroom. Lute wondered what was wrong with him. He seemed too distant today. She didn't want to pry the world did that to him enough. The tabloids were all over him since the incident. It was upsetting and annoying how much they played videos of it happening.
Lute sat on the couch and typed away on her laptop. She had a lot of work to do.

Lute awoke a few hours later. She didn't even remember falling asleep. She saw the time and dusk was settling in. She sat up and rubbed her eyes. She then felt her stomach rumbling. She needed to eat. She walked to Adam's room to see if he wanted dinner. She lightly knocked on the door and peeked her head in. The lights were off and the curtains were drawn. However, the bed was empty but the bathroom light was on. She slowly walked in not wanting to scare him. As she did his bathroom door was open. She felt bad and was about to bolt. However, Adam was shirtless looking at himself in the mirror. He truly had an amazing body. Chiseled by god himself. The way his muscles flexed so effortlessly. His tattoos were her favorite. Her favorite was a back tattoo of the letter A but in a cool design. His chest and abdomen though did not have any tattoos. She did think it was strange how the rest of him did except for that area of his body. She always wondered why."Dangertits what are you doing?" he called out and looked at Lute hidden in the darkness.
"Sorry sir" she stepped out. She could feel her face turning red.
"Can I ask you something?" he looked sincere and serious.
"Sure," she said. Trying to keep her voice even.
"How bad does it look" he pointed to his stomach scar. There were three lines in his stomach around his belly button.
"It's fine," she told him. "I've seen worse. You can get a tattoo to cover it up".
"It's not fine!" he snapped. Lute jumped back at the sudden outburst. "I hate this scar. It ruins my body. I can't get a tattoo to cover it up for six months to a year. And I just..." he was about to get upset. He did not want that. "I hate it" he whispered. "I look like a freak. The tabloids are going to eat this alive"
"Adam I promise you it's okay. You can put makeup on it" She stepped closer. "It's going to be okay"
"How do you know that?" he asked. His voice almost cracking.
Lute took a deep breath and lifted her shirt up. Her abdomen had a massive scar reaching across it. "I have similar a scar"
Adam looked shocked. He instinctively touched it. "What happened?" his voice was above a whisper. He had no idea she had this scar. Now that he was thinking about he never saw Lute wear a crop top or bikini top. She also made excuses to not swim at the beach or a pool.
Lute ignored the feeling of his hand on her stomach and instead focused on his golden eyes. "When I was sixteen I was learning to drive. My dad was with me. We were hit by a drunk driver. In the middle of the day of all times," Lute remembered as if it were yesterday. "I don't recall too much of that day. I was impaled and it took a team of surgeons to stitch me back up. That's why I wanted to go to med school." she was inspired after that. "My dad lived he was fine for the most part. But yeah" Adam took his hand away and she pulled her shirt back down. "I get it. It's hard. But I like my scar. It shows the world that I survived after it tried to put me down." Adam saw the fire in Lute's eyes. "Adam it gets better. You just have to be patient. I know it's hard, especially for you. But it will heal."
Adam nodded. "Yeah well, I heard that chicks dig scars." he tried to make himself feel better. "Wait Lute you said you had stitches nothing crazy. That looks crazy" She shrugged. "Well you really live up to your name dangertits"
"Thank you, sir. Do you want dinner by the way?" She went back to the original reason she was here.
"Yeah, that would be good. Also is your face okay? It's really red" he looked concerned for her.
Lute refused to tell him it was red due to him and his god-like body. "Yeah I'm just hot" She quickly walked away and to the kitchen. She splashed some cool water on her face. She needed to get Adam's shirtless body out of her head.
He came back thankfully wearing a T-shirt. "What's for dinner?" he sat at the bar.
Lute opened the refrigerator enjoying the cool air. "What about day-old pasta?" she pulled it out and set it on the counter.
"Works for me" Adam smiled.

That night Adam lay in bed. He touched his scar. Still hating the wretched thing but feeling better. He had no idea that Lute had gone through that. He felt terrible but happy she lived. He wondered if she had any more scars. She did say she had a couple of stitches. Adam still couldn't get over how red her face was. It was hilarious to him. He also knew she had been standing there for a good second taking in his body. He didn't blame her. He had a killer body and could mesmerize any chick even Lute to look at him. Although it was strange. Adam usually hated it when women would invade his privacy like that. He was having a personal moment after all. Nevertheless, he liked the idea of Lute loving his body for how it is. That made him feel good. Loved even.Did Lute love him? Adam shook that thought away. She could never love him. She had seen him at his worst. She had dealt with him at his worst. He knew she would never put up with his shit. Adam could feel himself being drawn to Lute but he wouldn't do that to her. He wouldn't force her into his crazy life and antics. After all, it broke his first two wives.
