I finally can publish, what I think, will be the last chapter of this story. It was meant to be a one shot but by request I extended it to develope the relationship between these two complicated characters. I want to thank those that left a review and have supported me with this new adventure for me, I hope you enjoy the end of it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Neil, Flamy and Dr. Lennardas they are part of the fabulous story Candy Candy written by the talented Mizuky.

Aknowledgment: I want to thank once again to my Forever friend for her big encouragment and help with betareading and so I dedicate thsi chapter to her.

Holding the letter that was left by Flamy to him, Neil crumpled the paper until it became a tiny ball enclosed in his fist and he banged the table with anger. His eyes were fixated on his hand.

"Darn you Flamy! Why did you leave like this? Why can't I talk to you?" His frustration was reflected in his tone of voice.

He then grabbed his jacket and stormed out of the house to get in his car. His mind was only set on one thing: he had to talk to Flamy! Even if it meant that he would have to look for her in the hospital and interrupt her work. He just needed to do it; he needed to see her. Why? Why was he feeling this need? Was he developing another obsession like he did with Candy?

"No, this time is different. Candy was just a wimp, a need for possession. Flamy is … the woman I want to show that I really care for her," he answered to himself.

Driving as fast as he could, he didn't care of going over the speed limit. His heart was racing mad, as he knew he was going to see her once again, even if it meant she might not want to speak to him. He just had to make her hear him out.

As soon as he arrived at the Chicago Hospital, the staff recognized him straight away so they knew it was better not to stand in his way. He went to the Director's office and asked the receptionist to announce his visit. The shy girl did as she was told and without hesitance, Doctor Lennard welcomed him.

"Mr. Leagan! How nice to see you around here! Is everything ok?"

"Yeah, everything is fine. Thanks for asking. I just want to ask you for a favour, please."

"A favour? What can I do for you?"

"I need to speak to Miss Flanagan. So can you please give her an hour break?"

"Our Chief Nurse, Flamy Flanagan? Is everything ok? Has she done anything wrong?"

"No she hasn't. I'm sure her performance is as good as it will always be. I just need to speak to her and I know she is very busy with work."

"Miss Flanagan is certainly very dedicated to her profession and this Hospital. But she requested the extra work for whatever reason she had. However, I agree with you Mr. Leagan, she needs a break. I will not just give her the hour with you but will also talk about giving her some time off work too."

"That would be great, Dr. Lennard, but for now I just need an hour with her as soon as possible."

"I shall call her in right now, Mr. Leagan."

The Doctor went to his receptionist and gave her the instruction to get Miss Flanagan to report to his office as soon as possible.

During the ten minutes that Neil had to wait in the Doctor's office, he felt the time was dragging and his hands were sweating with anxiety. He couldn't sit still and kept looking out the window. The day was just perfect for a walk in the park or a lunch in a restaurant, he thought.

A couple of knocks made him jump, and he turned to the door while Dr Lennard said. "Come in!"

"Doctor Lennard, did you … " Flamy couldn't finish her sentence as she saw Neil standing next to the window, where the sun rays were making his hair almost shine while his eyes looked dark with desire, and she felt her face turn warm, she blushed in embarrassment.

"Miss Flanagan, I think is time for you to take a break. Why don't you go out for some fresh air for one hour at least? Mr Leagan here wishes to talk to you too."

"I don't need a break. Thank you!" Said Flamy dryly, avoiding Neil's eyes. "I have a lot of work to do, and so I wish to carry on with it."

"Miss Flanagan, sorry, but I'm going to have to insist you to have a break, and even consider granting you a week off at some point."

"A week off?" asked Flamy, stunned.

"Yes, we both know - I as a Doctor and you as a Nurse - how important a good rest is for the body. And you certainly need it, as you have been working overtime everyday lately. I thank you for your dedication, but I am also concerned about your health, and I would like to have healthy staff rather than tired and unfit for our physically and often emotionally demanding profession. So in the meantime, please take that hour break as I am asking you to."

Flamy was furious, but couldn't argue with the Doctor, as she knew he was right in a way. Yet she also knew this was part of Neil's plan, whatever it was. "Fine! I'll go now Dr. Lennard!" She left the office without looking at Neil.

"Thank you very much Doctor," said a satisfied Neil.

"You are very welcome Mr. Leagan. I am glad you made me realize how overworked Miss Flanagan is."

"I know. I shall wait for her outside. Good bye for now." Neil left the Doctor's office with a big smile, ready to wait for his Nurse at the main entrance.

After five minutes, Flamy appeared with her handbag and cardigan on. She saw Neil but decided to pass him by and kept walking with her head up.

"Flamy wait!" called Neil, trying to reach her arm.

"Don't touch me!" she snapped while turning swiftly and staring at him with coldness in her eyes.

"Where are you going? I've been waiting here for you so we can -"

"We? There is no we, Mr. Leagan! I accepted to take a break but that does not mean I have to go with you at all!"

"Why are you mad at me? I only ask for you to take a break so we can have a chat."

"How dare you to come to my workplace and request breaks for me? Once again you are using your stupid family's name to get what you want. You big spoiled brat!"

"Stop calling me that! I did it because I am concerned about your health too!"

"No! You did it because you wanted to have the satisfaction of controlling my hours at work. But be sure Neil Leagan, I am not anyone's puppet and certainly not yours!"

While saying this she realized people passing by were now staring at them after her loud voice was attracting all their attention. Her face coloured into red scarlet, so she turned around and ran out of the hospital premises. Neil went behind her. He wasn't going to give up so easily.

Reaching out to her left arm, he pulled her around to face him.

"Flamy! Will you please listen to me once and for all? If after you hear me you don't want to see me anymore I promise I wont bother you again!"

Looking into his desperate eyes, she accepted. It was time to let him speak.

"Very well Neil. I'm going to give you this one chance."

"Thank you, there is a café around the corner"

"I prefer to go to the park. It is not so busy and I need some fresh air."

"OK, although I thought you would like something to eat."

"Right now I'm not hungry. Thank you. So please let's go and finish with this!"

Flamy led the way with quick steps while Neil was trying to work out what did he really want to tell her.

After a ten minutes walk in silence, they finally found a spot near the lake of the park, and Flamy sat on a bench, while Neil sat next to her, wondering how close should he be to her.

"So Mr. Leagan, I'm running out of time and patience, to be honest with you. So will you tell me what is it that you want from me?"

"I … I … well, I don't know Flamy, I only know that I want to see you all the time, I want to be with you, I feel the need to be there for you …"

"Wait! What exactly are you trying to say? Surely you are not in love with me!"

"As I said, I don't know my self. All I know is what I'm feeling is something completely strange to me. Whether is love or not, I just want to be able to be with you and discover what exactly is this feeling as long as you let me."

Flamy stood up and with a snigger she said "Ha! Please don't insult my intelligence Neil Leagan! What you really want is to be able to have sex with me whenever you please to. Well let me tell you this; yes we had a good time, but sex is something I didn't need before to even try it, and I am sure I can live without it. I am not a mistress you can come to see as you feel the need to, and I can assure you that you will have plenty of opportunities to satisfy your needs with someone else, but not with me, not anymore!"

"Damn it Flamy! Why are you not listening to what I am trying to say?" snapped Neil standing up and grabbing her shoulders to pull her close to him. "Its not just sex why I am here! I'm here because I want you, as a girlfriend or wherever you want to call it. I just want to tell you how much I … I … Please, tell me that you don't want the same? That my hands are not burning your skin whenever I touch it? That my eyes are not telling you my desire to be with you? That you can't hear my heart beating so fast when you are closer? That my kisses are not what you are longing for like I am longing for yours right now?" Neil said with a hoarse voice while he lowered his face until his lips met Flamy's, who was trembling against her own will, trembling at hearing his truthful words, and she realized she was feeling the same and the sweet kiss that was given made her close her eyes as she enjoyed the wonderful feeling of walking in the clouds. How could this be possible? How a man like Neil could make her feel this way? What could she expect of him?

Suddenly she interrupted the kiss and pushed Neil away while turning her head and said "enough!"

"Flamy?"

"I said enough Neil! I don't want a relationship with you at all!"

"Eh? Why? I thought with that kiss you were-"

"No, That was just a kiss! But I could never fall in love with a spoiled brat!"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean you are not even a man. You are just a rich boy, and I don't want that in my life. If I ever thought of being with someone, it would be with a hardworking man with ambitions. And you, Neil Leagan, are none of that!"

Fury was the next feeling that Neil felt, his face was red; his hands closed in a fist and his eyes were swollen with tears that he was trying to contain.

"Fine Flamy Flanagan! I had enough of so much humiliation. I might not be the perfect man for you, but I care enough to tell you how much you mean to me. However I also have my pride and I am fed up of you putting me down all the time, so this is it! Good bye forever!" Neil turned around to walk away before Flamy could see the tears that he was shedding, while still hearing Flamy's voice.

"Good bye Neil! I hope I don't see you anymore either!"

What Neil didn't suspect was that Flamy was also crying, although she didn't understand why. Perhaps this was her only chance to love and be loved.

After a month of that last encounter with Neil, Flamy had gone back to her monotonous life, working as hard as she could. Dr Lennard was worried of how tired his prestigious Nurse looked, so he called her to his office.

"Did you call for me Doctor?"

"Yes I did, Flamy. I think it's time for you to take that week off we had talked about previously, and I think you should do it now."

"A week off? Now? Has Mr. Leagan come to ask this for me again?" She asked while looking around the office to see if Neil was there by any chance.

"As a matter of fact, no Flamy. I haven't seen Mr. Leagan since that day he requested to see you. I don't know what is your relationship with him and I am not going to enquire about your private life. However I do worry about your health as a Doctor, so I suggest you take your time off from tomorrow."

"But Dr. Lennard, I don't need - "

"You do Flamy and so I insist, I won't be happy with you otherwise. So please enjoy this time off" finished Dr. Lennard with a serious face.

"Very well!" Flamy accepted irritated, she knew he was right and appreciated his concern about her, but he didn't know she was scared, because she will then have time to think of Neil.

Back at her house, Flamy got a bottle of wine out and started to pour it in a glass while sitting on her sofa. She drank the first glass quick and said, "This is not right, why am I feeling uncomfortable with my self?" She served another glass and did the same until the wine made its effect to realize how lonely she was actually feeling. Her eyes were contemplating the sofa, where she had lost her virginity to Neil. She took her free hand to her lips and closed her eyes to remember that sweet kiss at the park; she saw his longing eyes, the ones that were telling her how much he wanted to please her, how much he wanted to be with her. Yet she had rejected him. "Well you certainly gave up so easily Neil Leagan! Why could you not try a bit harder? Why could you not hold me again and kiss me till you convince me you are the right man for me? Why didn't you stay with me as you said you wanted and realize that I … I…" Flamy's voice broke as she struggled to carry on with her words with tears wetting her face now. "Oh Neil! I can't stop thinking of you either! I'm so stupid I didn't see it before, please come back! Oh Please!" she sobbed until she feel asleep exhausted from crying.

The next morning Flamy woke up with a jump by some desperate knocks at her door. She realized that she was still wearing her uniform and scolded herself for being negligent. She went to the door, saying, "I'm coming. I'm coming. What's the emer …"

She couldn't finish her words because after opening the door, she was startled at what was waiting for there. Holding a huge bouquet of flowers, Neil was standing there, wearing a black suit and looking so handsome.

"Good morning Flamy. May I come in?"

She didn't answer, just moved to one side to let him in.

"First of all I'm sorry to come at this time, but I need to see you before I go to work."

"Work?" managed to say Flamy, who still couldn't believe he was in front of her. Was she dreaming?

"Yes, work, Flamy. I know you might not believe it but I am working now. My uncle William gave me a job at the company. And before you say something, I'm starting from the bottom, a simple clerk job."

"I … Neil, I - "

"Yes I know you're going to ask me what am I doing here after you asked me to not bother you anymore. But the truth is that I now know what I feel for you and, that is that I love you Flamy, I'm sorry if you have to hear this, but I am also very stubborn and I want to fight for this love, even if it means you're going to close the door to me a few times. I just want to show you how much you mean to me."

"Shut up and kiss me Neil Leagan!" With a quick movement that surprised Neil, making him drop the flowers he had brought for her, she held his neck to pull his face down and kissed him. " I also can't stop thinking about you Neil. I am so stupid for not realizing before, but maybe I needed some time to open my eyes. I am so happy that you are more stubborn than me."

"Oh Flamy! My Flamy!" said Neil with a big smile while embracing her slim body and kissing her face, her neck and her mouth. "You don't know how happy you make me by hearing this Flamy."

"Just show it to me Neil, by loving me just the way you have," she said in a whisper holding his face, while allowing a couple of tears to show up as she didn't care for the first time to show vulnerability.

The kisses that followed were so passionate, as if they wanted to recover the lost time. He then carried her and took her to the bedroom while saying, "Flamy, I really want to show you how much I love you right now, but if you don't want to I can come back tonight"

"No! Please don't go now, I just want to feel you in every way possible," she begged.

And without hesitance they both embarked in a sea of caresses, undressing each other bodies and savouring the kisses that were sweeter than ever. His hands went through her body, from her face, passing by her soft breasts to her hips and derriere, until he accommodated his fingers in between her legs making her sigh with pleasure. She caressed his hair kissing his neck and right ear whispering, "I missed you my Neil! I missed your kisses!"

"Me too my love! I missed giving you this pleasure and feeling the way I am feeling right now." His erection that was rubbing against her abdomen clearly showed that he was ready to enter in her, but he decided he wanted to wait a bit longer until she asked.

"Please give me what we both want and need now, Mr. Leagan!" While kissing her mouth once again and playing with her tongue, he penetrated inside her, slowly at first, just resting inside, enjoying the pulsations of her womb. Then he started to move in and out in between panting, and she grabbed his buttocks to push to the rhythm of her desire.

"Yes, keep going … like this … like this."

" I love you Flamy I just want to be with you."

" Me too, me too, oh Neil! I love you! She screamed with enjoyment as she felt the rush of climax building up until she felt the wonderful explosion in her.

Neil didn't want to finish there. He got out to go lower and kissed her womanhood, licking her sweet clitoris "Oh my God! Neil! My Neil! I'm going to come again, aaah!" As she predicted, her juices showed Neil the delight she was feeling and he savoured them. He moved himself on her again, but she suddenly pushed him to be on top of him and rode him. His hands were on her breasts while she was moving her hips in circles and up and down until Neil groaned with passion, "Oh Flamy!" And he ejaculated his seeds in her, feeling pleased of her actions, she let her self-rest on his chest to recover her breath.

After ten minutes, embracing each other, Neil said, "I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave you for now, my dear Miss Flanagan. I am a responsible man now after all and I have to go to work before my uncle thinks I've given up already."

"Now I am the who that wants to ask you to stay."

"I know my love, but this time I want to be the man you want and so I'm going to work hard to show you."

"You have already but you're right. I am so glad you are here to please me," she said with a hint of tease.

"I am, and my desire is to be with you always."

"And mine too."

With a kiss, they sealed that pact that only they understood what it was, the love they both wished for and the one that was worth waiting for.
