Two Girls in West Egg

Chapter 37: The Maid

Karmen's POV

Me and Gatsby were sitting on the couch just talking. I laid my head on Gatsby's lap and sighed. Gatsby looked down at me and smiled while he played with my hair.

"What's wrong, darling?" I looked up at him and shrugged.
"I'm bored, that's all." I said as looked at my hands.

"Well," he said as he helped me sit up. He stood in front of me and grabbed my hands. "I think I have a something we can do." I smiled and stood up to hug him.
--------------------------------------------------
Now we were in kitchen trying to make a cake from scratch. When I say trying, I'm not kidding we're terrible at this.

"Wait, did you put in two eggs or three?" I said while looking at the book. Gatsby looked at me then to the bowl he was holding. "Three. Why do you ask?"

I laughed and leaned my back on the counter so I was facing him. "The book said two."

"Oh" he said with a smiled. I turned back to the book and looked to my side. Flour.

A smirk crawled on my face. I grabbed a handful and hid it behind my back. "Gatsby" I called to him and turned around. He turned to look at me and smiled.
"Yes, darli-" I smiled as I looked at a now cover in flour Gatsby.

He looked down at his self and then back to me. "This is war."
------------------------------------------------
Flour and cake mixes was every where. There was egg yolks running down the wall and sugar all around the room.

Me and Gatsby were on the floor laughing at each other and at the mess we made. One the maids walked in and started to laugh at us.

"Ok you two love birds, get out so I can clean up this mess." Gatsby got up and then helped me up. I looked at the maid, Mrs. Mel, and sighed."Mrs. Mel I'm so sorry about the mess. We just got carried away."

"Oh its ok honey, this is my job." She said with a smile. "Now you two get clean and I'll have a chocolate cake ready for you when you get out."
------------------------------------------------
Gatsby and I were sitting and eating cake when I heard someone giggling. I looked at Gatsby and told him I had to go to the bathroom. Witch was a total lie, I did have to, but I really wanted to know where the laughing was coming from.

I finally came to the library. I saw Nick leaning against the wall looking really uncomfortable, while Elizabeth was trying to get closer to him.

I opened my mouth to yell at her, when I saw Kelsey at the other side of the room standing in the door frame, with a oh-no-you-didn't look on her face.

This should be good
