The next morning Amber woke to her phone ringing. She looked at her clock, it was 7 O'clock am. She grumbled as she grabbed her phone to see who was calling her or sending her a text. It was Spencer calling her. She really wanted to go back to sleep, she had a late night shift the night before and before that was in class all day and just wanted to catch a few more Z's. She pressed the talk button on her phone and answered.

"Hello?" She said in a groggy voice.

"Morning Amber," Spencer said on the other end of the line.

"What's up?" Amber asked as she laid back down, the phone pressed to her ear, but her eyes closed.

"Well, I'm off today, I was wondering if we could hang out, get some coffee or something." Spencer quickly said on the other line.

Amber thought for a moment. It was her free day, she only got two days like this. Did she want to put on jeans and a shirt or stay in her sweats? "How about you come over here to my place and help me with my homework?"

"Alright, I can do that. I'll bring you coffee."

Amber smiled. "That sounds great."

"I'll see you in a bit." Amber heard the line go dead and placed her phone on her nightstand. She laid in bed a few minutes longer and then got up and got ready.

Once Spencer hung up the phone with Amber, he was rushing around to get ready. He put on a button up shirt,a black tie, a nice navy blue vest and a grey cardigan. He attempted brushing his hair and after a few minutes gave up. He grabbed his things and headed out the door of his apartment. He left his apartment building, hopped in his 65' Volo and drove to the coffee shop.

Once in the coffee shop he got in line to order. The girl in front of him had bright blonde hair and was wearing crazy clothes. This could be only one person.

"Garcia?" He asked.

The girl turned around and it was got a huge smile on her face. "Reid!" She automatically hugged him without thinking. She pulled away from him and asked, "what are you doing here this early?"

"Getting coffee for me...and a friend." Spencer said, avoiding eye contact.

Garcia's eyes lit up and gasped. "Is it Amber?" Spencer nodded and received another hug from Garcia. "what are you two going to do?" She asked as the line started moving.

"I'm going to help her with her homework,"

Garcia looked blankly at him. "Seriously? Reid, take her on a REAL DATE," She practically yelled, causing almost the whole coffee shop to look at them. After a moment, the everyone in the shop got back to what they were doing and Garcia then quietly said, "take her out. Go see a movie, go to a museum, anything. She is going to end up being disappointed."

"Actually, she was the one that suggested it," Spencer said as he motioned for Garcia to move forward.

"Oh," She replied slowly as she turned around to face the front of the line. Garcia really didn't know what to say. She wanted Spencer to have a girlfriend, but it seemed like what he was doing was working. They stayed silent and reached the front of the line. Garcia ordered her coffee and after she paid she told Spencer goodbye and to tell her what happens afterward. Spencer got to the cashier and ordered himself a coffee with sugar and a pumpkin spice coffee for Amber. He paid, waited for them to finish the coffees and headed to Amber's.

Spencer got to Amber's 20 minutes later and knocked on the door. Seconds later, Amber open the door and smiled brightly at him. She was wearing a hoodie, a pair of slim fit sweats and some slippers. Her hair was up in a messy bun, she had some mascara on, some lip balm and was wearing her big black framed Ray bans. Spencer knew she had contacts, but she never wore them because of her naturally long nails, she always ended up ripping them. Pretty much how she always looked, but wearing sweats instead of jeans. She still looked great to Spencer. Amber knew that, and that's why she liked him so much.

"Hello," Amber said as her eyes sparkled. Spencer wasn't sure if it was because of him, or the coffee. Amber gestured him to come in, he stepped into the apartment. It wasn't the best looking apartment, but not the worst. It was very tiny, but very warm and had books scattered everywhere around the apartment. And a lot of notebooks. Spencer set the coffee on coffee table in the living room as he heard Amber close the door. Spencer grabbed his cup and sat down on the couch. Amber walked over to the coffee table and grabbed her coffee from the coffee tray. She sipped it and started to glow.

"I love that you can remember pretty much everything I say." she said happily as she sat down next to Spencer on the couch. She took another sip of coffee and then set the cup down. She reached for her psychology book and opened it. "right now we are learning about sexuality and gender. That's all pretty easy. I just have a hard time remembering all the information, no matter how many times I go over it. I mean I have ADD but that isn't an excuse, I can't let it hover over me. I just have to work harder." Amber mumbled on,she looked out of the corner of her eye and saw that Spencer was right next to her, her knee touching his. She could hear him slowly breathing, his breath on the nape of her neck. It sent chills up and down her spine.

Amber looked up at him and his face was pretty close to hers. Spencer couldn't stop looking at her. He was attracted to her, he knew that, but he knew she had dealt with guys before trying to 'get in her pants too fast' as she put it and she hated that. She had told him that she wanted to have a relationship with a guy, really get to know him, and if the time was right would make love with the guy. Spencer agreed with her, that it makes relationships stronger to wait. That it helped a relationship emotionally and psychologically. But then why did he feel this way? He wanted to grab her and kiss her. He knew he couldn't though. It was still too soon. He wanted to take it slow, for his sake and for Amber's.

Spencer snapped back to reality and asked Amber, "Do you have a test on this?"

Amber was silent for a while, then said "Yeah, on Monday,"

"Over what?"

"Motivation and emotion, Lifespan development, Gender and sexuality, and Personality."

"Well, let's get to it then." Spencer said after he took a sip of coffee.

It was about 12 o'clock in the afternoon when Amber stopped and dramatically said, " I can't study anymore..."

Spencer laughed. "You have to."

"I'm going to fail." Amber mumbled into her hands.

Spencer gasped. "Don't say that!" He pulled her hands away from her face. She was pouting, she looked frustrated and like she was about to cry. Spencer's heart sank. He knew it wasn't easy for her. Not everyone was like him, having an eidetic memory, having an I.Q of 187, and having many PH Ds by twenty-two. Spencer sighed. "Amber, come on. I know you can do this."

Amber thought for a moment and then replied, " Can we take a break?"

Spencer nodded, " Of course." Amber got up from the couch and walked into the kitchen. Spencer sat back against the couch and shivered.

"Are you cold?" He heard Amber ask from the kitchen.

"Yeah, a little."

"I'll turn up the heat."

Spencer almost forgot about how he asked her to move in with him. "So, did you think about my offer?" Spencer said, not knowing any other way to put it. He listened as she shuffled around the kitchen.

"Um...yeah I have. I'm still shocked by it though."

Spencer chuckled. "Why?"

"Want some water? Or something?"

She was avoiding the question, that was never good. " Um sure, I'll have some water." Moments later Amber walked over to the couch and set down two glasses of water.

Amber plopped down on the couch and said, " I just...don't you think it's a bit...sudden?"

"Well, I mean we wouldn't be like...boyfriend and girlfriend...well right now at least...not that I want to move that fast...I just...want you to have somewhere nice to stay...so you can focus on school." He was finding it hard to find the right words. He knew didn't want to upset her.

" I want to see your place." Amber blurted out.

Spencer smiled. "Alright, let's go now," Amber got up off the couch to leave but Spencer stopped her. "bring your books, you can study there." Amber glared at him as she picked up her books. Amber slipped off her slipper and put on some sneakers. She grabbed her apartment keys and cell phone.

"Ready?" Spencer asked. Amber nodded and headed out the door. Spencer shut the door behind him. Amber struggled to lock the door with so many books in her hand. "need some help?" He offered.

Amber shook her head. "No...I think I've got it." She suddenly lost her strength,causing her to drop all of her books that she was trying to maintain to hold in one arm. She moaned as she started kneeling over to pick them up, but Spencer was always picking them up and scooping them in his arms by the time she did. "thanks," she said as she got back up and locked the door. The two headed out of the hallway to the elevator. Once inside Amber pressed the elevator button to LOBBY and the doors closed. They walked out to Spencer's car that was parked on the street. "here, I'll take these." Amber said as she took her textbooks from Spencer. He opened the passenger door for her, she thanked him and got in the car. Spencer shut the door once she was in and walked over to the driver's side. He got in, started the engine and they were off.

Spencer pulled his car in front of apartment building, Amber was impressed, it looked like a nice building. Spencer cut the engine and got out of the car. He walked over to the passenger side and opened the door. Amber stepped out of the car with a tight grip on her textbooks. Spencer slammed the door to the lobby door and held it open for Amber. She thanked him as she walked up the steps to the second floor.

"Right here," Spencer said from behind Amber. She turned around, seeing that she had walked too far. Spencer unlocked the door and gestured Amber to go in first. She smiled as she walked in. It was a small apartment, but way bigger than hers. It had dark green walls, a few bookshelves filled to the brim with books, a leather couch, a chess table and some leather chairs to match the couch.

"Wow, this is nice."

Spencer smiled to himself as he shut and locked the door. "Thanks,"

"It's so much bigger than my apartment."

"Can you now see why it gets lonely?"

"Yeah," Amber said sadly as she set her textbooks on the coffee table.

Spencer's genius brain hatched a new idea. "How about, instead of calling it 'moving in' how about we call it 'apartment sitting'?" He said trying to make it sound less scary.

Amber grinned, " How is that any better, I would still be here when you're here."

"Well, I never know when I have a case. So, it's like an around the clock title, whether i'm here, or not."

Amber pursed her lips together. "I don't know."

"Please," Spencer begged. "don't let me be lonely. I usually like being alone, but I am growing up and I just need some company, especially here."Spencer was now standing closer to her than he was a moment ago.

Amber hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said, "Alright,"

Spencer perked up. "Really?"

Amber nodded. "Yeah,"

Spencer didn't know if he should hug her or what so she just smiled and said, "Good, I'm glad." He walked over to her and gave her a quick hug. He pulled away from her and sat down on the couch. He patted the seat next to him. "come on, you have some studying to do."

Amber groaned. "Is it always going to be like this? Is this what I'm getting into?" She said with a smirk.

"Yeah, but it's too late to back out now." Spencer said as he grabbed her Psychology book and opened it to where they left off.

"Thank you," Amber said shyly as she sat down next to Spencer.

Spencer raised an eyebrow. "For what?"

"For letting me apartment sit for you, I'll be so much happier and not so stressed out."

Spencer smiled at her, his heart was pounding in his chest;he was happy and yet nervous about the whole thing. "It's no problem. I'm just happy that you said you would, i almost thought you were going to decline there for a second."

"Well, you had many good reasons as to why I should mov-I mean, apartment sit, so how could I pass up the opportunity?" Amber said as she looked at the book open on Spencer's lap.

Spencer chuckled a bit then asked "Which part of the personality chapter should we go over?"

"Hmm...Freud." Amber said, as she waited for Spencer's knowledge about the man to flow out of his mouth, like a symphony of music.

"In 1900,Freud published what many consider his most important work, The interpretation of dreams. A lot of his work was controversial though. I personally prefer Jung more, when it comes to dreams. Freud has been discredited, but Jung still has his merits. When it comes to personality, many of Freud's theories had intrigued Jung and the two started to correspond. Jung didn't believe that human behavior is fueled by sex and aggression. Jung believed that instead people are motivated by a more general psychological energy that motivates them to achieve psychological growth, self-realization, and harmony..." Spencer rambled on, he wasn't even looking at the book, just at her.

"Jung came up with collective unconscious and archetypes right?" Amber cut in.

"Yes! There are two important archetypes...do you know what they are?"

"Anima is when every man has a feminine side and animus is when every woman has a masculine side."

"Yes, Jung's theories were never has influential as Freuds, but his have a wide acceptance. What are the two basic personality types?" Spencer asked, he set down the book on the coffee table, seeing as he didn't really need it.

"Introverts, people who focus their attention inward and extraverts who turn their attention and energy outside. " Amber said very fast.

Spencer smiled. "Yup, that's right."

Amber smile back, "Yay, I'm finally getting it." She said as she adjusted her sitting position. She had her legs in the pretzel position and was facing Spencer.

Spencer chuckled as he pushed his glasses further up his nose with his index finger. "I knew you could do it." He said as he placed his hand on her shoulder.

Amber put her hand on top of his. "Thanks," She said as they both stared into one another's eyes. Spencer took in a deep breath and looked away. Amber took her hand off his as he quickly took his hand off her shoulder.

Spencer cleared his throat and said "No problem, now, where were we?"
