Untouchable

2: Min&Max

Lukas' POV

Grace handed me the aspirin I asked for and then gave me a weird look

"What? Is there something on my face?"

"Nope" Grace answered

We took my car and drove around aimlessly, when I got sick of the traffic I asked Grace "Where do you want to go for lunch?"

"I'm actually not hungry, are you?"

"Not really, I've got a stomach full of iced coffee"

"Was it from Maroon's?" She perked up

"Nope, Starbucks"

Grace rolled her eyes at me "White boy"

"I'm offended! I was with a girl I met at the open lecture, Alexa; she's fun, I think you'd like her."

"You say that about all the people you meet and she took you to Starbucks"

"Nope, she's different and she was waiting for her friend, Zayden, who works there"

"Now, that's new." She smirked "How about we get some ice-cream and take a walk in the park?"

A wide smile spread across my face and I nodded my head.

Alexa's POV

It was Monday morning, I was late to my lecture; I was rummaging through my bag for my phone and speed-walking to class when out of the blue I bump into some, way taller than me, person. I mumble an ouch and shout out a sorry without looking up and continue my way to class. A few seconds later a mop of dirty blond curls appears in my peripheral view and I look really quickly to my side before sticking my head back in my bag for my phone.

"Hey Lukas"

"Hello love, don't you look up when you run into someone?"

"Oh," I scrunched up my nose "you saw that?"

"I was that." he chuckled

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry and I can't find my bloody phone!"

"The little gathering was fun"

I smiled "Yes, it really was, we should do it again some time"

Someone calls me and my phones' screen lights up and I finally pull it out "OH, HERE IT IS!" I say a little too loudly and when I look at the screen Lukas is the one calling.

"Thank you!" I tittered

"Why don't you and Zayden come to Two Days on Friday?"

"Umm, I'm not a club person; Zayden is though."

"Grace is coming as well, it'll be fun" He insisted "The Twins are going to be there"

"I don't know who The Twins are, and still not a club person. Thanks for the invite though, I'll be sure to tell Zayden" I rushed the words out of my mouth and entered the class.

"Damn it Zayden, I said I don't want to go!"

"Yea, well you're coming anyways" Zayden spoke into the closet as he was looking through it for an outfit

A few seconds later he sighed and then a grin appeared on his face "Here you go, get dressed" He tossed a maroon T-shirt and a pair of black ripped jeans at me, my face, to be exact. I knew there was no point in arguing with him because he'll 'drag me out of the house, and get arrested for kidnapping if he had to', as he put it.

We were greeted by the very loud music and flashing lights from the club and Lukas waving from behind the bar as he prepared a drink for a customer. Zayden and I sat at the stools located at the bar.

"Hey! You came!" Lukas shouted over the music as he smiled as wide as humanely possible

"Yea, well, Zayden threatened to kill me" I joked

A women had popped up next to Zayden at that moment, petite with large curls and a polite smile, she looked me up and down swiftly, slow enough for me to notice but fast enough for it to be casual.

"Hello, I'm Grace, you must be Alexis"

"Alexa," I corrected her "It's a pleasure" I replied just as politely, there was an edge to her eyes though, like she was testing me, seeing if I was worthy, I supposed I would have done the same if Zayden started talking about someone out of the blue, but her gaze was intense, something even I could never muster. She looked like a French woman right out of a 20th century movie, the cliché, the same one that always somehow ended up to be plotting something, sweet and pretty with a hint of danger underneath. I decided I quite liked her.

The music was playing loudly, courtesy of the two DJ's which Lukas had introduced as The Twins and Zayden and Grace were going on about how doctors caused the most deaths and that in her future career she would probably put some doctors behind bars, they continued joking about how one day that may be Zayden. As I watched Lukas work swiftly behind the bar while he served the drinks to the customers; when he was done he handed me the soda I asked for. Lukas and I joined in on the conversation between Zayden and Grace when all of the sudden Lukas rushed from behind the bar and lunged himself into the crowd of people. When I looked more closely I realised there was a commotion near the center of the dance-floor and Lukas was headed towards two guys who were throwing uncoordinated punches at each other. A circle was cleared around them and at this point one of the guys who had a blue shirt on had pinned the other one to the ground and was throwing one punch after the other at his face and head. He's bound to pass out I thought but just then Lukas had reached the scene and pulled the guy with the blue shirt off the other, this only upset the guy with the blue shirt more and he didn't hesitate to swing his fist right at Lukas and shout "Stay out of this!"

The security guards stepped in and escorted both men out of the club while Lukas made his way back towards us. Grace poked at the area where the guy hit him but he flinched away and dismissed it saying the guy was too drunk to throw a proper punch.

Lukas put some ice into a cup and put it to his cheek "Can't let the pretty face bruise, now can I?" He then smiled and winked at Grace

One of the DJ's that was on stage rushed to where Lukas was standing in front of me, fussing over him and asking if he was alright, her brother walked behind her; she jumped about once she learned Lukas was fine, trying to impress him with a teasing smile on her face while her male counterpart stood there ideally. The only time he had spoken was when he asked if Lukas was alright, he didn't seem to shy away from conservation but definitely not as upbeat as his sister. They were identical, brunettes, both with prominent jawlines except the guy had a sharper facial structure than his sister. Lukas introduced Zayden and I to the twins whose names were Lace and Cayson who Grace had already met once before.

"Our shift is over, we're heading to a diner, Min&Max, wanna join us?" Lace addressed all of us, her mouth curving into a smile as she looked at Lukas

"Yea, sure, my shift just finished as well" he grinned "let's go"

---

The diner was very cosy, with booths set at the sides of it and an empty space in the middle, our waitress was a nice young lady with big bright eyes.

It was 2 am and the diner was empty except for a young couple sitting at the very front. Zayden walked over to the jukebox, pressed a few buttons and a couple of seconds later You Make Me Feel So Young by Frank Sinatra filled the diner

I looked over at Zayden and he was smiling like if he didn't he'd get in some sort of trouble. He gestured with his hand as if he was tipping his hat at me and then he strolled over in the direction of the table we were sitting at and pulled me out of my seat.

And we danced, and danced a bit more.
