Chaos in Harmony (AdamXLute)

Chapter 14

Lute awoke with the worst headache of her life. She felt like shit. She slowly looked around trying to figure out where she was. She then blinked and saw it was Adam's penthouse! Lute almost vomited from shock. What the hell happened last night... She tried to remember but couldn't. Fuck she had pulled an Adam. She turned over and saw her phone was on the nightstand. She grabbed it and looked up her last call... Enough it was Adam. Shit, she then remembered saying something and then trying to delete the message.

Her stomach then sank. She had called Adam to apologize for pushing him away. She had admitted caring for him. She didn't remember much else but clearly Adam had picked her up. She knew she had to face him. But she'd rather stay here in the safety of the covers. However, her stomach said otherwise. She could feel it rumbling. Maybe she could make a run for it. She stood up and was hit with some dizziness. She sat down quickly. She took a deep breath. She could do this. She could sneak and never see Adam again. She could do this.

She stood up and opened the door slowly. She looked down the hallway and saw nothing. She slowly crept out and down the hallway. She then saw the front door and went to make a run for it. Her hand turned the knob.

"Dangertits" Adam's voice called out.

She held the door knob. She looked at the door. She was so close. "Adam" Was all she said.

"We need to talk" was all Adam said. He sounded so serious. Which of course was not him. He was anything but serious.

Lute relented and turned around. "Okay," she said stoically.

They both sat on the couch. Adam was diagonal from her. He spoke up "Do you remember last night at all."

Lute sat there for a second. "A bit here and there" She looked out the window of LA below. It was around 11 am.

"What do you remember" Adam pressed on.

Lute racked her brain. "I called you and I apologized. You came and picked me up" That was all she could remember at the moment.

"You also kissed me and then threw up on me," Adam said bluntly. He was so tired of beating around the bush. He just wanted to kiss Lute at this point.

Lute blushed. She didn't know what was worse or more embarrassing. "My bad sir" was all she said. She was screaming at herself internally. What was she thinking? She knew Adam liked her... This changed everything.

Adam looked at her strangely. "Sir? That's all I get. Is my bad sir."

Lute looked annoyed and upset. "What do you want Adam? We can't do this" She was thinking of a million reasons why they shouldn't be together.

"Why not" Adam looked at her upset. He refused to accept that. "Lute I love you" He admitted.

There it was. The truth. "Adam I-"

"Lute you're amazing and smart. You understand me better than anyone and I just can't lose you." Adam was spilling his guts. He needed her to hear this. Even if they couldn't be together he needed her to know the truth.

"I know!" Lute interrupted. "You admitted all this to me the night you got drunk in Vegas" Adam then looked shocked. He then sorta remembered saying something to her. "But you said 'I wish things were different. I wish we could be together. But we have our duties' " She then sighed. "And you're right Adam. We can't be together"

"I said that" Adam tried to remember but he was so drunk.

Lute nodded "And I agree. We can't make this work. We have too much going on-"

"Fuck that" Adam cursed. "I'm so sick and tired of everyone thinking they know what's best for me!" He hated being famous for this reason. He didn't have free will to choose what he wanted. "My whole life has been people deciding for me and I'm done. Lute I want you" he looked at her. He had never felt this way for anyone. He didn't give a fuck anymore. He wanted her.
