Aisha POV
Well.... That was weird.  Was the first thing I thought when I came home that night.   I came home and told Sylvia all about it since she wasn't gonna leave me alone about it.
"So,  nick being the nice guy that he is was like 'this is Mr. Gatsby and this is Tom'" I told her in my most manly voice causing her to giggle at my acting of Nick himself.
"Okay okay.  Then what happen? "
She asked me curious.
"Girl,  it got so damn awkward. "
I stated the obvious cause we both know it was gonna be that way.
"No shit.  I mean you think I'll be buddy buddy with the guy who marry my true love. " She said with sass.
"I know that.  But you should have seen it.  I mean Gatsby got so damn pale.  I kind of feel bad for him" I said being sincere at the end.
"I wouldn't.  I mean he should know she marry like why chase after some that ain't even yours no more"  I didn't respond after that cause she was right but I'm hoping we could change the story from happening the way it suppose to.
"By the way...... Where is Nick? "
Sylvia said in a shy voice causing me to snap my eyes up so quick to her I was surprise it didn't get stuck.
"Um..... I think he said some bout going to the plaza Hotel. " I dragged out still distracted at her shyness.  I think she caught on cause she suddenly laugh it off and whipped her worried face into a playfulness look.
"Oh,  right.  Must have some to do with Tom" She said acting carefree with an innocent shrug of her shoulder.
"Right"
I said in a 'we-gonna-talk-about-this-later' tone.

Next Day
(Almost 2 some in the morning)
I was still up,  since I couldn't sleep for the worrying of Nick being out so late.  I mean I know we stay in like the safest place but still I grow a likeness to Nick.  And no,  not like how you like a boy as more than a friend.  Just I see him as a brother figure.  I can see I wasn't the only one since Sylvia weird behavior showed me otherwise.  Then I was headlight pulling up so me being my curious self walk up to the window and peek out of it.  There I saw a taxi dropping off Nick.  I guess I wasn't the only noisy person that live here cause Mr. Gatsby was making his way towards Nick. I could tell they was having a conversation so I sneak out the house making sure I didn't make no type of sound to alert them of my present or wake up Sylvia cause you don't not wanna witness a cranky Sylvia.  When I manage to close the door without causing a scene I tiptoe my way towards a bush and listening to the conversation.
"-Does it?"
I heard Mr.Gabtsy say to whatever Nick was saying.
"I have been glancing into some of the rooms. Let’s go to Coney Is-
land, old sport. In my car."
Mr. Gatsby offered to Nick like does he not know what time is I scoffed under my breathe hoping they didn't hear it.  But since they continue the conversation I guess they didn't.
"It's too late"
I heard Nick said trying to be polite cause he could have said no but nope he went the nice way.
"Well, suppose we take a plunge in the swimming pool? I haven’t made use of it all summer." Mr. Gatsby tried again causing me to put a hand over my mouth to stop my laugh from coming out.  But what I heard next made me lose control over my laugh.
"I’ve got to go to bed."
Nick said and I bust out laughing not caring if I been caught in the act.  I fail down on the grass laughing my ass off.  They both look my way in both shocked and confusion.
"Y'all are crazy.  I mean first he kept invitation you to stuff but we all know he tryna get with your cousin"  I stated with sass.  But they ignored me and continue with they conversation.  Seeing no purpose of hearing no more of the conversation I said
"Anyway,  I'mma just go up to bed now.  " I turned to leave but was stop by Mr. Gatsby.
"Wait,  oldsport! "
He shouted causing me to turn around and glare at him.  I mean  it's morning and I need my beauty. Seeing that he step out of his character he start patting his suit and straighting himself up.
"Look man,  it's like two some in the morning.  And what you're not finna do is yell at me like you're my damn parent. " I said in a calm tone but from my words I could tell he getting the hint that he made me mad.  I'm easy tempered to get mad so I try not to.  He clearing his throat and place a smile on his face and said
"My apologies,  oldsport.  But I was wondering if you and your friend would like to join us for tea"
"Bitch,  we stay here so of course y'all gonna see us. " I told him with sass talking him and Nick by surprise with my bad language.
"Um.... Oh..... Hehe... Goodnight Aisha" Nick said before Mr. Gatsby could respond. I didn't respond just went towards the house and took my ass to bed.
