Chapter 11: Rainday

Spencer and Max were agree to meet at the same park they went a few days ago. He would bring their breakfast and juice with she decided to make them dessert and coffee.

Coffee was something they had in common. She was amazed by how many cups of coffee he could drink and the sugar he put in his cup was insane.

He once told her that coffee kept his brain awake and working at full speed. She laughed at that but was agree. Coffee was her energy too.

She discovered so many things about him everyday. Like his love for all literature, especially the one from fifteenth century. He said his mother read it to him when he was a child.

Then he read it himself and enjoyed it. She also find out about his love for chest, he even taught her some moves to check mate someone. She played with her dad and he was amazed when she won after 20 years of losing against him.

He also discovered so many things about her like her favorite artist is Michelangelo and she also enjoyed Carlos Cruz-Diez kinetic art.

He discovered she played soccer in college and that she was really good at it. He told her his one and only experience with a sport, he gave his team the victory but he made Morgan promised to not include him again.

She laughed and hugged him gently saying it was the beginner's luck. He also laughed because he was totally aware of it but he was happy it happened at that moment because the team they defeated was annoying.

Spencer walked out of his apartment and saw the sky. There were gray clouds so maybe it could mean a rainy day. He really hoped not to because he wanted to enjoy his last day of vacations with her.

He drove to the park and found a good place under a tree. There were some kids playing, there were some teenage girls complaining about the clouds and how they messed up their tan.

He waited for a while until he saw Max. She ran towards him and sits on a blanket he put on the floor for them "hey handsome" she smiled catching her breath "sorry, I'm late. I made my mother's cookies recipe but they almost burned" she sighed.

"Hey it's ok. I don't mind burned cookies" he laughed helping her with her backpack and after her settled it on the floor she held her arms around his neck and kissed him softly "I could get use to this kind of greetings" he whispered as he grabbed her closer to him.

"Me too" she smiled and they moved away to sit down "let's see what you made for us" she laughed softly.

"Not a big deal" he got out a tupper full of sandwiches "I made a lot, just in case we stay longer" she bit her lip to stop her laugh "and I brought a bottle of juice. Orange juice"

"Sounds amazing, let's eat" he handed her a sandwich with a napkin and held one for him.

They ate in silence for a while. She checked his clothes and realized he was very casual that day. He was wearing jeans and a shirt.

She was surprised but pleased at the same time. She loved his dress shirt and pants but something about him wearing something "normal" made her like him even more, if that was possible.

On the other hand, Spencer saw her clothes, she was wearing black sweatpants and a white shirt, it was not her normal type of clothes but it looked good on her.

"I normally like to run and even do some yoga on Sundays so after I came here I was finishing my yoga class" she said like reading his mind "by the way, you look good wearing jeans" she smiled.

"You think so? I'm used to use them. Derek gave me these at my birthday but never had the chance to use them. I use suits for work and I never had friends out of work" he said then looked at her "in fact I never had vacations this long"

"Well I'm happy you decided to spent it with me" she smiled playfully "tomorrow it's your first time back to work right?"

"Yeah. I hope they decided to let me return to my job. I love my free time when I'm with you but the days I was alone, I got bored" she held his hand.

"I'm sure you will return to work and save more lives" they both smiled and suddenly it started to rain.

"Oh no... No, no, no..." He said as he looked the rain getting harder "I saw the clouds when I was coming here and estimated there was a fifty percent chance of raining"

"So there was another fifty percent of not raining?" He nodded.

"I wasn't sure of which possiblity was more likely to happen so it was fifty- fifty" he was glad that he picked a tree with a good protection so they did not get wet.

The problem was that Max did not care and pushed him out of their cover and jumped out as well.

"Hey!" He screamed at her but she just laughed then they started to run "not funny"

"It is and it was worthy though" He was chasing her around as she laughed and poked her tongue out at him.

He finally got her and they felt on the ground laughing.

Then they decided to leave. His apartment was closer so they went there.

When they arrived, he asked her to take a shower to not get sick. She was happy to have a change of clothes in her backpack and luckily in a bag where it could not get wet.

Meanwhile she took a shower Spencer turned on his coffee machine to have hot and fresh coffee for them.

She got out and it was his turn to get a shower. Max decided to check his apartment. As she imagined he had lot of books, technical books but also classics and even novels in others languages.

She recognized the Russian and Spanish but nothing else. The Russian because she knew they used other alphabet and Spanish because she got some classes in highschool.

After a few more minutes he walked out of the bathroom, fully clothed "I was making coffee. I guess the one you made is cold already"

"I think so. I put it in a bottle where it should not get cold too fast but I guess the rain could get it cold faster.

He poured some coffee in two cups and they ate cookies and drank coffee talking about everything they just did and how funny it was.

He never had this much fun ever, maybe before he had to take care of his mother and himself. Became an adult too soon. Then they cuddle in his couch and he opened up about some difficult things he had to deal with.

Mostly as a kid. He had a lot to tell her but he decided to start easy on her. His mother with schizophrenia and his father leaving them was enough sadness for a day.

She kissed him gently and rubbed his hands softly. She wanted him to open up and she was not afraid of his darkness. She wanted him to feel safe with her and she will make sure to protect him.

Sadly at night they rain stopped and he decided to take her back to get her car and leave to her apartment.

"Next time the sleepover should be at my apartment" she laughed and he laughed too "maybe popcorn and movies"

"If that's an invitation then I'm in" he laughed and opened her door for her.

"Perfect then it's an invitation" she kissed his cheek and got in her car. She left and he smiled. He was so happy and had the best Sunday ever or he could call it Rainday.

The next day he had concentrate. Shooting test. He almost destroyed one of the targets as he looked like Mr. Scratch.

Due to this situation the Deputy director decided to make him take 30 days off for every 100 hours in the field.

It was his only condition to return to work. Emily told him she knew and planned some seminaries for him.

He will need to get ready for those so his mind will be busy while he is alone at home. Thankfully he has Max now who will help him after classes.

He told her that night when they were in the hotel, taking a rest to continue tomorrow.

She promised to help him during those days as much as she could so he does not feel bored in between seminaries.

OOooOOooOO

I have some ideas for this one but didn't know how to connect them until I sat down and started to write.

I loved the part where they ran in the rain. I had so much fun with it. I thought about that moment in season 15 when she pushed him to the sprinklers but of course this was bigger because it's rain.
