Strange Attraction (editing/rewriting)

XII

Finn was sitting in the dark in his phone at the island looking at me assuming he heard my heels on the floor. All I could think was how ominous he wanted to be and it pissed me off a little. Acting as if this conversation couldn't have been had the next day.

"I want your location."

"No," I said opening my bag and putting my breast milk in the fridge.

"I'm not asking Liv. You wont see a therapist with me and now you're going out at night which is something you've never done." The moment I go to defend myself Finn cuts me off. "I don't care what you get up to anymore, but what I need to know is that you're safe. Go out with Lucian, have your fun. I don't give a fuck, but you're going to come home to me and our family."

"You're not getting my location without me having yours. And if anything, im home more than you. If you already know where I am when im not home or at work then what do you need my location for?"

"Fine ill give you mine too, but you're not going back to his place without me knowing where you are. If you're going to have a relationship with him then that is my only condition."

"It's hardly a relationship," I mumble while taking off my heels on the opposite side of the kitchen island.

"Whatever you want to call it, I want to know that you're safe."

"When did you become all worrisome? Huh? If im not mistaken, its you who's more of a threat to me and our kids than Lucian will ever be." I put emphasis on the ever and turned to walk away from finn and this ridiculous conversation to which he immediately stood up and grabbed my bicep. "What are you gonna do? Hit me? Rape me again?"

Finn did not let go, instead he gently, if you can believe it, guided me against the counter. "I thought we were past all that. Baby, im trying to give you the space you need, the freedom you want and you're still pushing me away. Like im seriously having an issue understanding you. I moved downstairs out of your way. I'm suggesting therapy to fix us. For god sakes, im letting you fuck another man as long as you come home." Finn lets go of my arm and starts pacing as he continues his rant. "You don't understand how crazy im going over here. I want my old Liv back. The one that wasn't so cold. You're not even here for our kids anymore. What is so good about Lucian that you'd abandon your family for him?"

"Don't you dare say im not here for my kids. I never wanted a nanny, but you couldn't help yourself. You wanted me back so bad that you kept ignoring my wishes and boundaries and all it did was backfire on you. The way things turned out is not my fault and don't you dare ever insinuate that it was. And no Lucian could never make me abandon my kids. As far as you though, I haven't made a decision yet."

Frustrated, finn raises his voice a little bit. "So why do you like him over the man that gave you 2 beautiful kids?"

"I like Lucian because he listens to me. He's gentle and doesn't yell at me. He expresses his feelings in a mature way. I like Lucian because he doesn't belittle me on such small matters." It didn't seem like any of this was registering with finn so I went on in a different direction. "He also fucks me like he loves me."

"Shut the fuck up." Finn mumbles as he walks away so I follow him.

"At least I know if I got pregnant by Lucian with triplets that id be having all of them instead just 2." Finn turned around and raised his hand to slap me before biting his lip and deciding against it and walking away. "And this is exactly why you and I will never work out."

Finn turned back around and slapped me so hard I tasted blood. "At this point you do it to yourself. Like seriously."

"No one asks to be hit Finn." I turn around to go upstairs and Finn hurriedly blocks my path. "Move, im done talking to you."
