Speaker 1: Hey, great to see you again. It's been a few
weeks since our last date. Have you missed me? I've
certainly missed you. Oh, you didn't miss me that much
because you could hear my sister talking on the phone
with me. Come on, there's no substitute for the real deal, now,
is there. I bet you're just dying to butt in
and say hello to me, right Oh, look at the
quiver in your voice. So you really did miss me
from last time. Huh. That's like so sweet of you. Oh,
you really do take after your sister, maybe even a
bit more. Don't tell her I said that, though she
would throw a powdie fit, and well, I guess you
already know that. Anyway, I'm glad that you remembered that
I wanted to go apple picking. I was surprised when
you sent me a message that you found an orchard
that's not too far from our city. Honestly, I'm surprised
you actually took the time and effort to research where
we should go. That is very sweet of you. I've
never really dated someone that put this much thought, I
guess into my preferences. That's kind of nice. Anyway, Thank
you for doing your best it is scoring you some
very good points with me, so keep it up if
you really want to make me yours. I mean, it's
not like I'm really eyeing anyone else anyway, but still,
all right, that's enough gapping for now. Let's head in
and register for their apple picking service. Here. Registration's right
over there. Come on, hello, we would like to get
tickets for too, please, thank you. Now where are we
supposed to go? Ma'am? Got it? Just straight ahead and
follow the signs to get around to the orchard. Perfect,
Come on, you heard the lady. Let's get out there
and start picking. Ah, the air feels so clean and
crisp here. I've been wanting to try and pick fresh
apples for baking for so long. I mean, I know
I could always go to the grocery store, but there's
something different about picking them with your own bare hands,
you know what I mean. Like it's a whole different experience,
and it's something that we can enjoy together. Right. I'm
glad I got someone to come along and enjoy this
with me. Seriously, if I had dragged your sister out
to do this, she'd probably be complaining about the heat
or the bugs, or that she wants to go home. Ah,
you know how she is. Again, don't tell her I
said that, Okay, I will say it to her face
or on a voice called myself. Oh there is a
perfect treat filled with apples. Come on, let's get to it. Oh,
look at this bunch I picked. Man. These looks so fresh.
I can't wait to bake these babies into a pilator
when we get home. That's with the confused look. Of course,
you're coming with me back to my house.
Speaker 2: It's not like you live miles and miles away and
I still live in the same neighborhood. So unless you're
hesitating because I'm inviting you and you alone, don't get
too ahead of yourself there, lover boy, We're just gonna
bake a pie and that's it. Sorry, I know that
you're not thinking of anything else. I just had to
take the opportunity to tease you just a little bit.
You're a good brother to your sister and a good person.
Speaker 1: That much I am sure of. Again, unless it's a
facade to hide a little freakiness that you have going
on deep, No, I'm sorry. I'll stop teasing you for now, okay,
And these ones are for my diet. I love apples
and peanut butter. It's like one of my main food groups.
Gotta always keep on track, make sure we have enough protein.
A gosh, this brings back a few memories. Do you
recall that time when we were kids. I came over
to stay the night at your place, and your sister
and you fought over who got the last slice of
fruit for dessert? No, you know the time I'm talking about, though, right,
you were throwing a tanjum because she basically bullied you
into giving up your share. I'm sorry I couldn't do
anything about it back then, but it was kind of adorable,
and I need to see you guys bicker. I was
always over small silly things like that, but that kind
of made it funnier. You were so mad, like, I
don't think I've ever seen you so angry, and I'm
pretty sure it was over like an apple? Was it
an apple slice? Are we going full circle with this? Oh? Gosh, God,
we used to just do so much dumb stuff back
then when we were kids. But hey, at least now,
when I bake those apples into a pie, you will
get half of it, not like your sister can bully
you into giving you her share. Besides, you're way taller
than her now well, and me too. That's kind of weird,
not that I think about it, used to be so small. No,
I'm not going to make a joke, Tom, I know
that I'm sure. Leave me alone. Stop bringing up seriously,
stop anyway. That's sweet of you, and at least you
two got a bit closer as you got older. We've
all grown up. That's kind of crazy. I'd say that
all three of us could hang out. I think it
would be fun. But well, your sister doesn't exactly know
about this date. I know, I know, but like we
said last time, if it becomes serious, we'll tell her.
We're just figuring it out, that's all. Anyway. I think
that's all the apples that I can possibly hold in
this basket, and wow, it is quite a lot. We
hold a bunch of them today, didn't we. All right,
let's get these all packed up and go back to
my place. Hmm, okay, let's go. Wait, hold on, let
me get the door for you. Ah, okay, we're hold
Thank you for carrying all the apples back here. To God,
that looks heavy. I appreciate it. Oh, it's not as
heavy as it looks. Wow, or maybe you've just gotten
more muscular over the years. Why don't you try carrying
me sometime? Huh huh, strong man, I'm just kidding. Oh
my gosh, I be too embarrassed if you were to
actually carry me, I would be so self conscious. Anyway, Okay,
let's go to the kitchen and get to baking. Ah.
Now you can see my amazing baking skills and action,
and of course you can assist me with some of
the prep work. If you would be so inclined, it
would mean a lot to me. Come on, don't be nervous.
You won't screw up because I'm here to tell you
exactly what to do. Just follow my lead and you'll
be fine. Okay, good, Come on. We have a lot
to do, so first we need to prepare the equipment. Bawls, mixers,
measuring cups, spoons, YadA, YadA. You know the drill. I'll
handle getting all that stuff out, and oh I need
to preheat the oven as well. Okay, time for the
other stuff. Now I will get the other ingredients out.
Oh for some of them, we'll be needing a ladder.
Do you think you could be a darling and hold
the ladder study while I climb up. Thank you. Okay,
it should be right here. Oh no, it's kind of
out of reach. No no, no, no, no, I can do it.
I can do it. Okay, got it? Got it? Okay,
that's everything. And then, of course the apples. Are you ready?
Are you ready to start mixing and baking like a
true baker? That's what I like to hear. Okay, so
you can start by helping me with cutting the apples
into slices, not too thick, but not too thin either,
and I will handle making the better for the pie crust. Okay,
not bad. Those slices look perfect. Are you sure this
is your first time helping out in the kitchen? I
mean there were some times that you had to cook
for yourself and your sister right knowing her, she probably
made you do all of it. Well, all I can
say is I do find a man that knows his
way around cooking in the kitchen to be pretty attractive
to say the least. What I'm serious, But don't put
too much thought into it, Okay, I'm just saying it's
kind of cute and especially seeing your face scrumch up
n make you a little shy the feelings usual, I mean,
what who said that? Okay, everything is almost set. Let
me just pop this into the oven and there now
we just wait for it to bake. Well, I guess
we could also clean up the stuff that we used.
I know, I know, I know. It's no fun to
have to wash the dishes and put them back. I know,
but that's part of the pain of baking. No pain,
no gain. Come on, let's hop to it. For starters,
we can just dump all of the used mixing bowls
and stuff into the sink. Yes, just like that. That's perfect,
and then we'll return the other ingredients to their respective shelves.
I gotta climb up this ladder again. Just stay behind me, Okay,
no peaking, okay, Oh crap, Oh I think I'm slipping.
Oh oh oh no, thanks for catching me. Jeez, I
should be more careful. Oh my gosh, I'm actually so
glad that you're here. If you weren't, who knows how
bad I could have gotten injured? My hero. Yeah, so,
oh my gosh, you really are so strong carrying me
like this. I feel safe and warm when you hold
me close. Can we just stay like this for a
few minutes. I mean, if you can handle holding me.
I just I don't know. I really like this feeling,
and I feel so so mmmmm. Oh oh oh, well
that's this. Isn't your first time kissing a girl, is it?
It is? Oh my gosh. Well, oh, I can't believe
I I took your first kiss.
Speaker 2: I I am.
Speaker 1: No, it's it's fine. Well, I mean technically you took
the kiss, but well, I guess the logistics don't matter.
Oh no, am I blushing? Oh Oh, that's the pie.
It's finished. I should get it prepared. You can, you
can let me down. No, Oh, okay, I'm fine. Well
look at that. Oh my goodness, it looks so good.
We did great, didn't we. Oh are you still in
a bit of a days because of Yeah? That's sorry
about that. I well, I guess it's not my fault.
But I guess I'm kind of dazed too. I am
kind of sure that. Well. I'm getting interested in a
deeper connection with you. I guess. Come on, let's worry
about that later. Okay, for now, why don't we just
have a slice of pie together as friends? Of course,
I'll even feed you like they do in the movies.
If you'd like that, Okay, I'll slice it up and
open wine. Here you go. Sorry, I got some on
your face. It tastes so good. Right, Oh my goodness,
I'm so glad. Come on, I want you to have more,
not so much so you still have to save some
for your sister. What do you mean you're not saving
any for her? Oh my gosh, what a menie.
Speaker 2: M.
Speaker 1: I guess she deserves that, though. Huh, this has been
so fun. I wasn't expecting. I don't know what I
was expecting. Oh, sorry, words are hard right now. I
guess maybe this means we'll do this. You'll look forward
to it. Great, I would really love that. And well,
I guess sooner or later we're we're going to have
to tell your sister about it. But that's a problem
for another day. I guess for now, let's just enjoy
this pie and each other's company. Okay, and I might
steal just one more, guess if that's okay.
