✨(Mature):Nick n Charlie's One Shot Stories✨

🥧🍂🎃Pumpkin Pie: Part 2🎃🍂🥧

🍂Charlie's Pov🍂

Nick grinned and came toward me , apron in his hands and a evil smile. I laughed and rolled my eyes, as he placed the yellow apron on me , turning me around as he tied the back for me. I laughed ,
"Is the apron really necessary?"

"Hmm, yeah" he smiled thoughtfully in reply.
I laughed and lightly poked his shoulder
"So what first, master baker?" I grinned
He chuckled at the name
" so we start with a large bowl.." he said taking a dark green bowl outve the cupboard underneath our small kitchen island.
I smiled nodding and grabbed a whisk from the drawer, in hand and ready to help.
He noticed and nodded in approval,
"Good, so we'll need the following ingredients :" he stated all passionately.
He was very cute when he was serious.
"Graham Cracker pie crust?"
I set it out in front of us,
"Check!" I smiled .
He checked off his little list ,
"Sweetened Condensed Milk?"
I grabbed it from the cabinet and put it on the counter,
"Check"
He put a mark down

"Pumpkin Puree?"

I set it down next to the bowl,
"Also check" I said
He nodded in agreement as he marked the paper

"2 large eggs?" He read from his list
I grabbed them from the small carton out of our refrigerator,
"Check and check"
He chuckled nodding

"Salt and pumpkin spice?"
I grabbed the two small bottles from the spice rack,
"Double check" I grinned and set them down before kissing his cheek.
He grinned sheepishly

"Perfect, we'll whisk up all the ingredients and then all we do is pour it into the crust"

"So the measurements are :

One 15 ounce can of pumpkin puree
One 14 ounce of a can sweetened condensed milk
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon of salt
And 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice"
I cracked the eggs into the bowl as he measured the salt and the pumpkin spice .

We laughed and grinned excitedly as we could smell the sweet scent form from the mixture in the large bowl.
After emptying the can of sweetened condensed milk and the pumpkin purée, Nick started to stir it all together  until it was a perfect custard consistency.

"It looks so good already, Nick you're a genius" I said impressed
he laughed and shrugged
I held the pie crust/pan still, as he poured the mixture in.
"We just have to set the oven to 425 F  and let it bake for 10 minutes and then after that we have to lower the temperature back to 350 F for an additional 30 - 40 minutes. And we'll just do the poke test to figure when it's done" He smiled as he took out a roll of foil after preheating the oven.
"And one last thing I learned the first time I made a pie.."
I watched closely ,

He tore small strips of foil and gently covered the pie crust over,
"it's best to cover the crust completely in small strips of foil even despite the foil of the pie pan , otherwise the crust will burn.." He smiled at me as he finished up and put away the foil in a drawer.

"Ohh i see, that makes sense"
I was in awe of him, baking always seemed to come so easily to him.
He's so perfect.

"Char.." he said suddenly, and I realized his hand was touching my elbow
I looked at him
"What?"
He chuckled,
"You're Staring.." he grinned
I lightly poked him,
"Am not.."

He laughed "you so were! Don't be mad cause I caught you , Again"
he grinned before kissing my cheek.
I scoffed and leaned my shoulder into his gently,
my heart was melting.
