Chapter one: Help Me Out
Dr. Spencer Reid sighed as he entered the lobby of his apartment. He was completely exhausted sleeping all night on a jet with five other people was not a pleasant experience, but he guessed he shouldn't complain too much after all it was all just part of the job.
He knew that he must seem pathetic for a 25 year old man, since all he did was work, sleep, and eat. He could admit he had no room for a normal social life. Not that he was really a normal 25 year old.
Most twenty five year olds went too parties and had friends outside of work and went on dates.
Spencer had never really done any of these things and he wouldn't really consider that football game with JJ last year a date it wasn't like they were a couple and he had spent the entire game asking her questions about football since he was clueless about contact sports it wasn't like he had ever really had the opportunity too play them in school.
Sure Morgan and even Garcia had tried too set him up on blind dates, but he was completely against the idea of dating a stranger. Besides you never could know what kind of freaks there were in the world. He sighed knowing that was just even more proof that he had been focusing on work way too much.
He sighed as he headed towards the elevator. A nice cup of coffee should make him feel better it always seemed too work maybe he would eat a muffin too thats if the muffins he bought before he left for that last case hadn't gone bad yet.
He had almost made it too the elevator before he heard a soft voice behind him "Excuse me".
He turned around seeing that the angelic voice belonged to an equally angelic owner. He tried not too drop his jaw at the sight of her.
She wasn't very tall she probably only came up too about his shoulder. Her pitch black hair was pulled up into a quick messy bun which only made her round face more noticeable. She had soft features a perfect small nose, feminine lips, small ears with noticeable earrings on either side four of them too be exact. Pale skin and a nice curvy figure. She had what had too be the most amazing eyes a blueish gray color that he felt like he could stare at for hours. She was dressed simply a pair of dark jeans and a white tank top with a red zip up jacket over it and some plain black converse.
He was taken out of his daze when she spoke up again "Listen I know this may seem really weird but I think we live next door too each other so I was hoping if maybe you weren't too busy right now you could help carry some things in".
Spencer bit his bottom lip knowing that he was the worst person anyone could ask too help carry things in. He could admit it he was a bit weak he always had been, but it would seem rude if he told her no.
"yeah sure I'd love too". He stated automatically rolling his eyes at his own choice of word what kind of person said that.
She smiled not noticing his eye rolling or his choice of words "Thanks so much. I'm supposed too be moving in today and my friends were supposed too help but they never showed up".
"Oh Well were are you moving from"? He stated as he followed her outside too the parking lot while he tried not too say anything else that might make him look like a moron.
She shrugged "Texas the southern part it's a little town down near the gulf of Mexico you've probably never even heard of it. I know I'm a long way from home, but I was just looking for a change".
He nodded "Oh I've been too Texas for work a few times it's nice".
"Why were you in Texas for work? What do you do"? She stated curiously
He bit his lip knowing that It might not be a good idea too tell what he did for a living at least not yet besides if he told her exactly what he did then he'd have too explain his IQ and his Ph d's and at least a million other things. "I well um I work for the government". he stated trying to be as vague as possible.
She nodded not saying anything since they'd finally reached her car where she popped the trunk too reveal two large boxes.
He sighed lifting the largest box grateful too see that it wasn't as heavy as he'd feared. She grabbed a box as well before they made their way back inside.
She sighed looking surprisingly embarrassed" I must seem like a complete idiot for never telling you my name. I'm Amelia, but please don't call me that I prefer Aimee I mean Amelia just sounds so snotty and old fashioned I cant stand it. I'm named after a great great aunt of mine but I sometimes wish my father would have just picked a different relative too name me after".
"People usually call me Reid at work since I guess it's just easier because it's my last name, but I like Spencer better". He stated hoping he didn't sound weird
She smiled "Well it's nice too meet you Spencer".
He tried too ignore the slight blush that was forming on his cheeks as they exited the elevator on too the third floor and made their way too her apartment which was right next door too his.
She managed too unlock her door quickly and lead him inside before he spoke up "So um where should I put this"?
She smiled "Just lay it down anywhere I think it's supposed too go too my bedroom, but I was so dumb when I packed that I completely forgot too label any of my boxes".
He nodded setting it down trying not too show how exhausted carrying it had made him.
She spoke up quickly "Can I get you glass of tea or coffee or water or anything. I mean it's the least I can do you know since you helped me and all".
He felt a deeper blush spread across his cheeks knowing that he should leave before he did something stupid, but no other girl had ever offered him a drink or even let him into her apartment never mind the only reason he was here was because he had helped her carry a box.
"Yeah coffee would be nice". He stated praying she couldn't see the blush.
"Okay I guess you can just make yourself comfortable". She stated heading too her kitchenette.
He sat down on her dark blue sofa as he looked around the room it wasn't much different from his own apartment the same design same plain white walls. He sighed glancing around the room at her bookcase and a small TV and the dozens of boxes that were spread out amongst the room.
He was surprised that she came back from the kitchenette quickly carrying a plain green coffee cup. "I hope just plain coffee with sugar is fine. I haven't had the chance too really buy groceries".
"No thats fine Thank you". He stated taking the cup from her before she sat down beside him.
He sighed feeling nervous that she was that close too him before he spoke up trying to distract himself "So have you lived here in DC long"?
She shrugged "For a few months. I just made enough money too finally get my own place".
He bit his lip staring down at his coffee "What do you do"?
She smiled "It's not that exciting, but right now I have two jobs on Monday through Wednesday I work at a coffee house and on Thursday through Friday I teach ballet classes too five year olds".
He nodded "So your a ballerina"?
She frowned "No I mean I was sort of one in high school , but thats only because my grandma loved the ballet. I'm way too short and curvy to be a professional ballerina
He nodded taking a few more sips from his coffee cup before he heard his cell phone ring. He frowned wondering why it had too ring now of all the times it could have ringed.
He sat his cup down before he answered his cell hearing JJ's voice telling him that he had too get back too the BAU immediately.
He frowned hanging up "I'm sorry I have too go it's a work emergency".
Aimee smiled sighing "Thats okay. Maybe if your not busy we could have coffee together tomorrow. I mean thats if your not busy with work".
He nodded ignoring the deep pink color that his face was currently taking on "Yeah I'd I would really like that".
She let him out of her apartment and he made his way downstairs hoping that his blush hadn't been noticed.
Spencer smiled as he reached his car maybe his life wasn't so lonely after all.
