imagine not having you in my life either."
    Janie hugged her back pouring her heart into their embrace.  Scarlett had been the one person in her life that loved her for who she was and not her money.  She had no idea how her friend managed to work her ass off at a full time job and still attend classes, and pull out a 4.0 grade point average.  "I can't stand the thought of us not living together Scarlett, you're my rock." 
    She pulled out of her arms and blinked back tears.  They had leaned on each other so much over the last four years that she considered Janie family.  Janie had never had to fend for herself in her life when they met and it had just seemed normal for her to take over taking care of her.  Janie had opened her eyes to a life she would have never known, and Scarlett had become like the older sister doing all the things Janie didn't know how to do.  "Love you, Janie," she smiled as she stood up.
    "Love you too Scarlett, do not cry, damn it," she grinned and stood up.  "Let's go shopping and get you ready to meet Mr. Hammond tonight! We'll stop by our new home on the way back," she winked and grabbed her purse.  "Let's do this."
    Scarlett grabbed her purse and followed her out the door, thanking whatever fates had brought them together.  She grinned as they slid into Janie's car and she waved her father's gold credit card in the air.
    "Let's go blow some of Daddy's money," she had no issues spending his money and felt it was her right since he didn't have time to spare to even show up for her college graduation. 
    They spent the next four hours shopping and even managed to get their hair styled and legs waxed.  Scarlett had no idea if she had the nerve to where the outfit Janie had bought for her, it was more than a little revealing and she preferred her clothes covering everything.  This was definitely something new for her and as they made it back into the house, tired from their trip, she brought it up.
    "Are you sure this is what I should wear to um, negotiate." She held the dress up in the bag and glanced over it noticing how much was not there.
    "That's absolutely what you're going to wear to meet Rhett tonight, you'll have his libido on edge and he might go easier on you." At Scarlett's look of panic at her words she laughed.  "I'm kidding Scarlett, honey you're going to be just fine, and if you don't like what he has to say, then tell him thank you but you're not interested."
    Biting her lip until she tasted blood, she nodded.  Her hands were shaking now that she thought about where she'd be in the next few hours and she was worried that she couldn't go through with it.  "I'm really scared, Janie."
    "We're going to put these things away and talk."  Scarlett knew this was a huge step for her friend, and if she wasn't sure about it, then she would call Rhett herself and call it off.  "Put your things away and grab a shower, I'll be back in fifteen minutes."  Not giving her a chance to argue, she walked the door across the hall to her dorm room.  The dorms here were all single person dwelling, but she spent the majority of her time with Scarlett or vice versa.  She could still remember the condescending letter her father had written when she told him she wanted to live on campus.  Denying him the right to house her then had given her great satisfaction, and his payback she knew was the new Condo.
    Scarlett hung the dress bag on the closet door and put the rest of her things away.  Her heart was racing as she stepped into the shower, careful not to wet her hair.  She bathed meticulously while thinking about her meeting with Rhett tonight.  Her stomach was tied in knots, and even though she was just going to talk to him, she couldn't stop the nervous jitters. 
    "Janie unless you want to show up looking like a prune you need to get your ass out of the shower, you've been in there forever."  She called out loudly before making herself at home in the kitchen and pulled a diet cola out
