Chapter 12: Power Point and classes.
The weeks passed an Spencer finished his hundred hours at the field so he started to work on his seminaries.
He decided to do it about forensic psychology. That month he had three around some Washington Universities.
He was working on it reading and writing that he didn't realized it was the afternoon until he heard the knocking on the door.
Max decided to go helping with the presentation. Using the right colors to catch the attention of the audience and even adding some things Spencer did not know about power point.
"Hey handsome" she smiled at him "I brought donuts and I was hoping for the coffee to be ready" she teased him.
He laughed and let her walk in "actually I was so into the reading that I forget about this" he blushed softly "but don't worry, my coffee machine is quick" she laughed and put the box on the table.
"It's ok. You are lucky that you are cute" she moved closer and they kissed softly "I will check what you had done while the coffee is ready" he nodded and left to the kitchen.
"I wrote some things but as I told you I don't know very much about it" he said as she checked the laptop.
"I can tell" the page was so full of text that you cannot read properly what it says "it will be a loooong night" she whispered.
She started to move paragraph to other pages. When she finished it. The slides looked better when Spencer arrived with two mugs of coffee.
He placed them on the table and handed her the sugar. He moved the box of donuts closer and sat next to her.
"Oh it looks better" he said drinking some coffee "I didn't know how to use this. Dave, who is older than me, can use it as an expert" she laughed at that "hey! Don't be mean!" He laughed softly.
"It's ok. You hate technology so I could imagine that you don't know about power point" she looked at him "but honestly I don't understand how a man with three PhDs and three BAs can't use a basic computer program"
"I never needed also my brain works faster than a computer" she raised an eyebrow "but now I need it to look more professional"
"That's right, a computer presentation is better, especially for these seminaries" he nodded.
Max explained everything about power point. From the basics of every Microsoft office program to the basic things of power point.
He learned fast and Max was good and patient with him. They drank the coffee and ate the donuts.
She explained how to organize the slides and how the colors could draw the attention of the people. They even add videos he had from interrogations, the FBI let him use them with didactic purposes.
At night they stopped to order some food and rest their eyes from the screen. They decided to watch a movie while eating.
"So how do you feel about these thirty days off?" She asked.
"I don't like it. I guess you could feel my anger on the phone when I told you a few weeks ago"
"Yes I did but now that it's inevitable. How do you feel?"
"I understand why they decided this. I'm one of their best agents. I never took days off except for three times when I really couldn't work" he looked at her "once when I was kidnapped, other was when my mentor and best friend died and when a woman I was falling for died" she lifted her hand to rub his cheek softly
"Your work it's hard and losing people you care about must be terrible. I think your boss is trying to keep you sane. I know you are careful and do a great job but even the best needs a rest"
He sighed and looked at her "yeah I know you are right but I still feel like I shouldn't be here but out there with my team"
"I know Spence" she rubbed more his cheek "but maybe this time will keep you focus and... Who knows? Maybe you will find something important that will help you in a future case" that made him laugh but nodded.
"Yeah... Who knows..." He kissed her forehead and finished their food to go back to work until they finished the slides.
Then he walked with her to her car. They share another kiss before she left to her apartment.
The next day he studied the slides and what he will talk about. He picked cases and studied them until he could talk about them in his sleep.
The seminar was the next day so he left early to the university. He put on a blue suit with a white shirt and a tie.
He drove to the university and the technician of it connected his laptop to the TV with a HDMI cable.
They checked everything was perfect and the people started to walk in. Before it started Max texted him 'Have fun handsome, and good luck' he smiled.
When the auditorium was full it was time to start the seminar. He taught them about forensic psychology. He could see must of them taking notes and asked about the cases he showed them.
Two hours later he finished the class and everyone clapped at him. He spoke with some people while getting his laptop, pencils, markers and pieces of paper.
He was answering questions when his second phone started to ring. It was Max for sure so he excused himself and answer.
"Hey handsome" he was getting used to that greeting.
"Hello there gorgeous" he decided to do the same.
There was silence for a few more seconds and he could bet she blushed "how was your class?"
"Amazing, it was really nice to share my knowledge with someone"
"I'm glad and, to celebrate, I would like to invite you to a restaurant close to the campus"
"I would love to. Send me the address and we can meet there"
"Perfect, see you there" she hung out and a few minutes later she sent him the address.
He left the campus and drove to the restaurant. He had his shirt sleeves folded up like he used to when he had a tough case.
He walked in and there was Max waiting for him. The waiter led him to the table and when he sat down Max kissed him gently.
"Congratulations for your first class" she whispered on his lips.
"Thank you Max" he ran his hand into her hair "and not just because the congratulations but because of your help" he smiled at her.
"I'm here for you whenever you need it" she said looking into his eyes "also I heard that the auditorium was full of people"
He laughed "oh really? And how did you know that"
"Well... There were these two girls and they were talking about this handsome teacher, in a blue suit, with big hands and long, wavy, brown hair teaching in a crowded auditorium" he blushed at that "and I immediately thought 'oh yes that most be Spencer' but yóu know what they forgot to mention?"
"What is that?" He asked curious.
"How good that teacher looked with his shirt sleeves folded up. He looks very handsome and even modern with that style"
He laughed and his cheeks were pink after that "you are enjoying this aren't you?" She nodded and smirked.
"I like to complement you. And I'm just saying what those girls said about you" she smiled but then held his hand "now I'm serious... I'm proud of this and I hope I can help you with this more often. Even if you already know everything about power point or colors. I like be part of this new experience for you"
He held her hand "you will because I like our time together and I will do anything to spend time with you" she blushed and kissed his hand.
She ordered champagne and they cheered for his first class. Then ordered their lunch and he told her everything.
OOooOOooOO
Hope you liked this one. I will focus on his time out the BAU, maybe will show some conversations with Emily or JJ.
Also I want them to go to New Orleans. Remember Ethan from S2E18? I want him to invite Spencer to visit him for a special event and he will ask Max. What do you think?
