Aisha POV
It took us forever to make it to Nick place since he lived at West Egg at least that what he called it. It wasn't fancy like the other houses we passed on the way to get here.
"Now, why in the world would you stay way over here? " I ask letting my southern accent out.
"It was cheep" He stated simply.
"Then it's like at the type of 'the egg' like how you called it" I said.
"I know my own house is an eye-sore, but it's a small eye-sore, and it had been overlooked, so I got a view of the water, a partial view of my neighbor's lawn, and the consoling proximity of millionaires. " He said.
"How much did you pay for this place anyway? " Sylvia asked.
"I have to pay eighty dollars for a month" He told us sounding confident.
"For this shit" I said blunt. I could have bought a damn room at a motel for thirty some.
"It may be but you both will be staying with me. " He said cocky. We walk inside the small looking house it was so homey inside to tho.
"Go put your things up and you both can come with me to Daisy house. " He said automatically inviting us to his cheating cousin. Since he don't know that Sylvia and I already know about Daisy we had to play stupid for once.
"Um.... Whose Daisy? "
Sylvia asked. Hearing her ask this Nick eyes lit up like kid on a Christmas morning.
"Oh Daisy is my second cousin once remove. She married a man name Tom who I known since college." He said to Sylvia.
"When was the last time you seen them? " I ask him taking his attention away from Sylvia.
"Just after the war I spent two days with them in Chicago. " He told us both.
"Ok, so why we want us to come with you to visit your family. We don't know them" Sylvia told him.
"I understand that. But since you both will most likely be around me giving that your both staying with me it would be wise for me to introduce you to the people around me so they want be a stranger to you. " He told us.
"Okay. I mean it's 1922 and ain't shit to do anyway. So let's go" I stated. With that we made our way inside his old fashion car and drove to his cousin house which was on the east egg.
