Chapter 7
Scarlett went home angrily as she thought of how Rhett had humiliated her in front of everybody. 'Well it wasn't really everybody, but it might as well have been as if everybody was there! For Aunt Meade had been at our table and that blabbermouth would surely have broadcasted it to everybody living at Atlanta right now.' Scarlett got angrier as she remembered what happened after Rhett's display.
~ Flashback ~
"Jonathan! I knew it! From the moment I saw that old woman I knew that there was something fishy about her," said a girl who appeared out of nowhere.
"And who are you?" Scarlett venomously asked.
"I am, for your information, Jonathan's date for the night," the girl replied.
"Jonathan dear, let's go and leave this old woman alone."
Scarlett fumed. 'This is the second time that ninny called me an old woman! I may be older, but I'm not yet that old. I'll prove that to her, and I won't let her go away easy after embarrassing me! "Well, I don't think it's you have any right to drag Jonathan without his consent. I think he would rather stay here with me, won't you dear?" Scarlett looked at Jonathan seductively.
"I don't know ma'am... But I think I should go." Jonathan said.
"Then go! I don't need you!" Scarlett snapped, feeling her face burning with rage. 'Rhett! I hope you're happy, because you certainly won't be happy when I'm through with you!' Scarlett thought angrily as she saw Rhett smirking at her from a distance.
~end of flashback~
Scarlett was so lost on her thoughts that she didn't notice that she was home.
"Miss Scarlett, we're home," Martin, her driver said.
Scarlett snapped out of her reveries then walked out of the buggy. "Prissy, is your Mister Rhett home?" Scarlett asked the maid solemnly.
"Yes, ma'am. He arrived some minutes before you did! And he was looking happy too!" Prissy naively answered.
Scarlett raged at the thought of Rhett having fun at her expense, but she suppressed it and asked, "Where is he?"'
"At his bed room ma'am!" Prissy excitingly answered. (Probably glad that for once she was a reliable source of info)
Scarlett bounded up the stairs as soon as she heard Rhett's whereabouts.
"So Scarlett, glad you're finally home! Did you have fun with the boy?" Rhett greeted Scarlett, who is panting at his doorstep.
"Did you have fun with your girls?" Scarlett snapped back.
"Do I sense jealousy in your voice?" Rhett seriously drawled back.
"Of course I'm jealous I'm your wife!" Scarlett shouted without thinking.
"Well, stay jealous. I don't care."
Scarlett was so angry she attacked Rhett and punched him continuously on his chest. "Damn you! What have I done to make you do this to me?!"
Rhett held Scarlett's hands over her head and said, "Oh, believe me, my dear, you've done enough to make me act this way. In fact, you've done enough to make even the noble Ashley treat you this way."
"Rhett, how many times do I have to tell you I love for you to believe me? How many times do I have to tell you that you're the one I want? Ashley means nothing to me!" Scarlett pleadingly said.
"It doesn't matter what you feel now, I obviously don't feel the same." Rhett said with finality in his voice.
