A/N – I apologise now for the fact that I went into nerd mode in this chapter when Spencer and Zoe were talking. Also I'm sorry this one took so long to get out (I had really bad writers block, I know it's not much of an excuse) Hope you enjoy it anyway. Please review and leave your thoughts and ideas

Chapter Three.

After leaving the airstrip Spencer headed for the same coffee shop that he visited every morning and every night, his mind occupied by the Texan wonder who had stolen his thoughts. He bought his coffee and went to leave when he saw her sat in a booth in the corner of the shop with a coffee and the same book that she had been reading the morning before. He took a deep breath walked over to her and said "Hello."

She looked up and said "Hi." He sat opposite her in the booth and suddenly became very interested in his coffee cup as did she. He couldn't understand what had made him do this – he usually had no confidence with women, he normally stuttered and blurted out a statistic and then went bright red. She looked up at him then quickly lowered her gaze again. "Sorry" she murmured.

"Sorry for what?" he asked in confusion. As far as he was aware she had done nothing to apologise for.

"For running into you the other day. I was too absorbed in my book and I should have been paying attention to where I was going. I'm sorry" she blushed at the thought of bumping into him – she really should have been paying attention to him.

"It's ok. I wasn't really paying attention either. And besides the Odyssey can be a really absorbing book. The Odyssey was thought to be composed by Homer towards the end of the 8th century although some people think that Homer was more than 1 person and that it was composed by a group of people instead of just one man."

"yeah, I think that most of it was written by one man though and there were a couple of chapters added on to the end that were written by somebody else because the last two chapters don't fit the story line of the rest of the epic." She smiled and blushed, giggled and said "looks like I've met my match"

"Looks like it." Spencer smiled and took a drink of his coffee.

She held out her hand and said "I'm Zoe Montez" He shook her hand and said "I'm Dr Spencer Reid"

"Wow, a doctor, in what?" she asked, her curiosity getting the better of her.

"I have Ph.D.'s in Chemistry, Mathematics and Engineering. I also hold in Sociology and Psychology."

"That's impressive. I don't even have a degree yet." She said. She was really impressed by this amazing man in front of her.

"Yet? So you're working on one?" he asked, now pretty curious about the Texan beauty in front of him.

"Yeah. I'm at the local community college studying Classical Civilisations."

"That's cool. How long have you been there?" he asked

"About 18 months. I kind of put off university for a couple of years" she said, looking down with a sad look on her face.

"Is there a reason you put off university?" He asked, desperate to know more about her.

"I stayed in Texas to look after my Grandfather, he had a stroke and someone needed to look after him." She replied, happy to have someone to talk to even though she had only met him about 20 minutes ago. And besides it was nice to have someone who could listen to her blurt out random facts and not get bored in the process.

A/N – Sorry it's so short, I'm really struggling with this, it's only at the beginning but I don't know whether or not to keep it going because I have no idea for the story line and events
