Chaos in Harmony (AdamXLute)

Chapter 11

It had been a week since everything. Adam was at dinner with Verosika in Beverly Hills. They were at some five-star restaurant where he couldn't pronounce anything on the menu and it came in the world's smallest portion size. He was poking at his dish. He had no idea what it was and it was beyond dry. At least the fancy wine could make it editable. "So then Blitzo's sister Barbie was there. Adam!" Verosika snapped at him. "Are you listening?"

Adam quit looking at his food. "Uhh Blitzo's sister was at rehab with you?". He looked at her. He was blocking out every other word Verosika was saying. She was still hung up on this Blitzo guy. Not that he had any room to talk at all.

"Yes" she then went back to her story. Adam was dying from boredom. At least the press was eating this up. This was their second date. Now they were starting to look official. It was good they could just date for a few months. Get the spotlight off Verosika's rehab stint. Then break up. It then made Adam wonder. What was next? Would he go after Lute?

"Adam!" Verosika snapped again looking annoyed. "Did you hear what I said?"

Adam blinked a few times. "No..."

"I said after this we should go walk around. You can buy me something nice. The paparazzi will get our picture. We kiss then we can call it a night" She was just as tired as Adam. She was not a fan of this publicity stunt but it had to be done. She was happy she was with Adam. He was attractive so they would at least look like a power couple.

"Yeah, sure. Where do you want to go?" Adam was nervous. He liked shopping but something told him Verosika took it to a whole new level. Just looking at her. He knew she was wearing all designer. Her fur coat with a matching purse and her diamond jewelry told Adam he was going to be spending a lot tonight.

Adam was not one for designer brands. Sure he liked them. It was nice to own. But usually, he would have someone make his clothes custom. It was just easier and less hassle. He held Verosika's hand as they walked into the Gucci store. He was hit with expensive perfume smells. He wrinkled his nose not enjoying the mixture of smells.

"Quit looking like that," Verosika told him. She dragged him to the handbag section. They all looked the same to Adam. Verosika started looking at the bags intensely. Adam picked one up. Trying to see what see what she saw. It was just a leather bag...

"I like this pink one" She held it up to her outfit. One thing about Verosika was she wore bright colors especially pink. It hurt Adam's eyes. He liked how Lute only wore black, gray, or white.

"It's nice" Adam shrugged. Unsure how to go about it.

"That's it" Verosika looked at him. "Does it go with my outfit?"

"Yes," Adam answered unsure if that was the right answer.

Verosika rolled her eyes. Unimpressed with Adam. "I'll get it. It will go with my other outfits."

Adam then looked at the price tag. "$7,200 for that!" Adam looked at the pink bag. It was small and unassuming. Sure he had a lot of money. But $7,200 for a bag that size seemed ridiculous. Lute would think it was stupid. "What does it do?"

"What do you mean what does it do?" Verosika looked at the bag. "It's Gucci"

"Yeah but like" Adam took the pink bag and looked inside it. "Is there a portal in here? Will it take me somewhere? Can I store a sword in here with extra storage?"

Verosika snatched the bag and looked at Adam in disgust. "What's wrong with you? It's expensive because it's designer"

"Oh," Adam said still confused at the concept.

"Let me go purchase it. Can I have your card?" she held her hand out.

Adam was a millionaire, to say the least. But it pained him to buy something this expensive that did nothing. It could at least turn into a robot or something.

They stepped outside and the paparazzi took pictures of them. "Let's go to Valentino" Verosika dragged Adam.
