Aisha POV
Me and Sylvia excuse ourselves from the table since we already know what was gonna happen. A whole lot of gossiping and I didn't want to hear none of it I mean I read the damn book why would I listen to it if it ain't related to Gatsby. We made our way outside and start walking around the path.
"So, this is our life now huh? " Sylvia was the first to break our silence.
"Yeah but it could be worse tho. We get to go to a party and shit. Let's get lit then and meet some cuties" I told her knowing that she like that. She agreed with me. We heard a phone ring inside the house making the conversation stop.
"Damn, they acting like it's the twelve calling them. " Sylvia stated. (Twelve is another word for cops, police)
"Right. Now Daisy gonna have a long ass conversation with Nick" I told Sylvia then we heard Nick ask about her child then they started the whole conversation. After some time, Ms. Baker left she suppose to be in a tournament or some shit they was saying. Which means we about to leave to if Tom them can let Nick go but nope they walk him to the door and gave him a long ass conversation talking about hearing that he's engage and
stuff.
(Later )
When we made it to his estate at West egg he basically ran the car under its shed and sat for a while on and abandoned grass roller in the yard. Sylvia kept giving me strange looks she think he's smoking some but I told her that what he suppose to do after he had drove away from Daisy them place. We was basically standing in grass at this point.
"Aisha." Sylvia called to me
"Yea."
I answered her.
"Sing some"
She told me.
"No"
I stated.
"Please for me. Remember we was in the chorus in school" She told me making me have flashback of the time we sang.
"Yeah"
I told her.
"Remember that one time you did Whitney Houston song" I nod my head.
"Sing it"
She demanded. I roll my eyes but eventually begin singing one of Whitney Houston song which was 'I'll always love you'

Once I was finish I heard Nick called out somebody but when I look in the direction he was looking in I saw nobody. I shrug my shoulder maybe he saw a bird or something. We make our way into the house like we was going to do the first time but Nick got side track. The next day Nick left a piece of paper stating that he was off with Tom somewhere and he'll be back soon. So Sylvia and I made our way outside to take a look around.
"Maybe we should have met Ms. Wilson" Sylvia had once said but I told her no cause it was basically Tom meeting his side chick in front of her husband and his brother in law. I like drama but that's doing the most. It wasn't much to do at his place but I did find a journal around his house that was left empty so I start writing in it while I was outside. Nick came home around six in the morning and I happen to be up already knowing what had happened but I ask anyway.
"Tom took me to a party of some sort and I meet his woman Mrs. Wilson who was a lovely lady. It turns out they sleeping with each other but her husband and his wife doesn't know about it. They got in a somewhat of a fight. And I had to eat for my four o, clock train to pick me up" With that he went to bed and I shortly went after him to.
