Ekeberg Park was one of the most beautiful parks in Oslo. It was full of flowers and trees and a very nice and relaxing place, perfect for a stroll. A sight that Owen was stunned to see when Leonica, half an hour later, pulled him out of the ice rink.
“This is beautiful,” Owen said as he continued admiring the scenery while Leonica lead him by the hand, taking him towards the spot she had prepared specially for them.
“I’m glad you like it.” She said and he turned to look at her, a wide smile on his face.
“So where are we headed to?”
“To the gazebo, right over there.” She pointed and Owen nodded.
“Alright.”
They continued their walk and soon, the gazebo came into view.
It was a small white gazebo with a table in the middle and two seats. On the table was a basket filled with goodies, including wine and food.
“Here we are,” Leonica said as she walked up the stairs and towards the table, Owen following close behind.
“This is amazing,” He stated and Leonica smiled. “You did all this?”
“Of course, who else?” She said and began pulling out the items, placing them on the table.
There were fruits and some sandwiches and even a small cake.
“I had Grace help me prepare everything, but I did pick out all the stuff.”
“It’s beautiful,” He stated and Leonica grinned.
“I’m glad you like it. Now, let’s relax and enjoy each other’s company.” She said as she plopped down on the chair and stretched out her hands, urging Owen to sit.
He did as she asked and took the seat in front of her.
“We should start with some drinks,” Leonica said and began opening the wine, pouring some into their glasses.
“To a wonderful and happy relationship,” She lifted her glass and Owen mirrored her action, clinking their glasses before taking a sip.
“It’s delicious,” He complimented.
“Right? Grace is really good at cooking and baking. You should try her apple pie. It’s to die for.”
“I’ll definitely do that,” He said and looked over the things she had prepared, his eyes landing on the small cake.
“What’s that for?”
Leonica’s grin grew more at his question and she reached for the cake, pushing it in front of him as she lifted the lid.
“It’s your birthday soon, isn’t it?”
Owen looked confused, not by her words, but by the fact that he had forgotten his own birthday which was in two days.
“That’s right,” He blinked and looked down at the cake, smiling softly. “I almost forgot.” He muttered.
“How could you forget about your own birthday? That’s such a weird thing to do.” She giggled as she picked up the cake knife. “Want a taste?”
“Yes please.” He agreed.
With a smile, Leonica sliced off a small piece, picked it and feed it to him.
“It’s good.” He complimented as the mixture of strawberry and vanilla exploded in his mouth.
“Glad you like it.” She said and fed herself a piece nodding seconds later in agreement.
It was good, she’d have to give Grace a raise for this.
After feeding each other a few slices of the cake, Leonica returned it to the basket and opened the fruits, picking the grapes.
“Want some?” She offered him a grape and he opened his mouth.
Leonica popped the fruit into his mouth and he munched, enjoying the sweetness.
“It’s really good, thank you for remembering my birthday, luce mia.”
She smiled. “It’s the least I can do.”
The rest of their date after that proceeded smoothly. By sun down, Owen was in the driver’s seat of his car, driving back to his apartment for what Leonica dimmed, the highlight of the day.

“Wine or water?” Owen asked once they had arrived at his penthouse.
“I’m fine with anything.” Leonica answered, already in the living room, taking her heels off.
“Alright,”
Owen came back with a bottle of water and a glass of wine and Leonica thanked him as she took the glass from him, pouring a little into the glass.
“This is really good,” She complimented and looked up, catching a glimpse of Owen’s flushed cheeks.
“You okay?” She asked and he nodded.
“Yeah, it’s just, I think I had a bit too much to drink, back at the park and now here.”
“Really?” She placed her glass on the table and stood up, walking over to him and wrapping her arms around his neck.
“Maybe we should go upstairs and help you sober up a little.” She suggested, her voice sultry as her fingers danced on the nape of his neck.
Owen stopped her hand, peeling it off his body before he could loose all his senses and pin her against the wall.
“That’s not a good idea,” He said and pulled away, sitting on the sofa.
“Why?”
“I might get too carried away.” He answered honestly and she laughed.
“You’re talking as if we already aren’t engaged. We’ve had sex many times, Owen.”
“But I never got too carried away.” He responded, earning an unimpressed look from her.
“Okay, maybe one time I did, but that’s not the point.”
“So you’re telling me that you won’t be able to hold yourself back, tonight.”
“If I’m being honest, no, I probably wouldn’t.”
Leonica chuckled.
“Then I guess I’ll have to take matters into my own hands.” She said as she grabbed the hem of her shirt and pulled it over her head, throwing it across the room.
“What are you doing?” Owen asked, his eyes roaming her body which was only covered by her bra.
“You don’t want to do me, right?”
“Right.” Owen answered, but the look in his eyes said otherwise. Leonica smirked.
“And you don’t want to lose control, right?” She continued to test his limits, stripping her wrap skirt off her body so that she was left only in her bra, pop stocks and underpants.
