Gatsby, Daisy, Nick and Jordan all arrived at Gatsby's mansion in West Egg. Gatsby drove through the two enormous gates into the garage. The four of them got out of the car and began to walk down the driveway. "Would you or Jordan like to come in for a drink?" Gatsby asked Nick. "Not tonight. It's quite late and I must head to work in the morning." Nick replied.
"Alright then, Old Sport. Have a good night."
"Thanks, and you as well." Nick answered and he and Jordan began to walk down the driveway to Nick's cottage.
Gatsby and Daisy walked up into the entrance of the mansion. "Are you alright, Darling?" Jay questioned Daisy in a soft voice.
"I don't know, Jay. I'm nervous that Tom will come here and try to hurt you and take me away, " Daisy said as her voice began to crack.
"I will have my men on the lookout tonight if anyone tries to trespass. You are safe here, Darling. I won't let anything happen to you."
The reassurance of Gatsby changed the look of Daisy's face into a small grin.
"Now what do you say you get all cleaned up and changed. I have something I'd like to show you," Gatsby said to Daisy as he used his thumb to wipe a tear rolling down her cheek.
"What would that be?" Daisy asked.
"You'll see in a bit. Just go and get changed Darling."
Daisy left to go to the wash room to clean her face from all the dried up tears from the day. She didn't bring anything with her to Gatsby's so she decided to head upstairs to his closet and put on one of his dress shirts. She always adored the Indian cotton shirts he had. Gatsby took off his suit jacket and tie and sat near the fire place waiting for Daisy to finish. He pour himself a glass of Whiskey on the rocks and for the first time all night, he didn't have a worry in the world. He knew that Daisy was safe with him and she finally built up the courage to leave Tom. After five years of waiting, Daisy was finally his once again.
Daisy walked into the main hall where she saw Jay sitting with a glass of Whiskey in his hand near the fire. Jay heard the footsteps of Daisy walking through the hall and glanced in her direction. His eyes widened when he saw her with one of his shirts on, nothing else. Her beauty took his breath away for a split second, until she approached him.
"So what do you have to show me?" Daisy asked mischievously.
"Follow me," Gatsby whispered.
Gatsby grabbed Daisy's hand and led her up to the third floor of the mansion. On this floor there was access to part of the roof.
"Where are we going Jay?"
"You'll see in a few moments." Jay and Daisy made their way to the roof access. Jay climbed up first and helped Daisy climb up next.
"What are we doing up here Jay?" Daisy questioned.
"I wanted to bring you up here to share something with you that I realized five years ago. Wait here, I'm going to grab a few pillows."
Jay climbed back down after bringing Daisy up to grab a blanket and a few pillows. Daisy sat and waited to Jay to return. She glanced at the moon and took in all the beauty of the night sky. Her mind felt at ease and knowing that Gatsby was there to comfort made her feel even more relaxed. Gatsby returned with a few pillows and a blanket.
"Here Darling, grab one for yourself," Gatsby said to Daisy. They both found comforting positions in each others arms. Daisy lean back on Gatsby's chest, while Gatsby's arms were draped around Daisy with his head resting on her shoulder.
"Why are we up here, Jay?" Daisy asked softly. "I wanted to share a moment with you that I had shared with you five years ago." Gatsby pulled his head off Daisy's shoulder and looked into her soft eyes. "You see, from the time when I was a boy and penniless, I had a grand vision for my life. I made a schedule of things I would do every day in order to make something of my life. I enlisted in the Army to travel the world and to experience new things. I never imagined in my life it would lead me to Louisville and meeting you. The night I met you, I looked up at the stars. I waited a moment for a sign to know that you were going to be a part of my life forever. As I looked up, I saw a shooting star. I knew that you would be in my life forever and I couldn't do anything on this Earth without you being a part of it."
Daisy's eyes began to filled with tears and she wept. "Daisy Darling, why are you crying?" Gatsby asked softly. "I made a terrible mistake marrying Tom. From our wedding day I resented my marriage to him. I knew from when you left Louisville for Europe that you were the one I wanted to spend my life with. I'm sorry, Jay. I'm.." Before Daisy could finish her sentence, Gatsby placed his lips on hers. He pulled her in closer to him and their kiss became deep and passionate. Daisy pulled back and stared into Gatsby's blue eyes. She put her hand on the side of his cheek. "I love you, Jay." Gatsby stared back at her and grabbed her hand that was on his cheek. "Daisy, Daisy, Daisy, I've loved you since the moment I let you be apart of all my dreams five years ago. You are apart of everything I have accomplished, whether you know it or not. You were there all along." Gatsby looked up at the sky and saw how clear of a night it was. Daisy followed him and looked up. They both saw a shooting star.
"Did you see that Daisy?"
"Yes I did."
"That was the sign I was given five years ago that let me know you were to be apart of my life forever."
Daisy was at a loss of words. The only thing she could think of was the mistake she made by marrying Tom five years ago.
"Did you make a wish on it?" Gatsby asked.
"If I tell you the wish, it won't come true," Daisy replied.
"Well then, don't tell me." Gatsby chuckled.
"I'm getting pretty tired, Jay. Do you think we could head to sleep?"
"Whatever you'd like, Darling." Jay and Daisy stood up and made their way back onto the third floor. Jay climbed down first to help Daisy climb down from the roof. As Daisy made her way down, she slipped and Gatsby caught her in his arms. Gatsby smiled a bit as he looked at Daisy. She seemed a bit scared from her fall but happy. Gatsby began to clench his arms tighter around her and looked into her eyes. He leaned in and kissed her deeply. Daisy wrapped her arms around his neck. Gatsby pulled back and swept Daisy off her feet into his arms and carried her down the stairs into the bedroom. He laid her down softly on the bed and the spark that had been lit between them turned into a burning flame. Each of them yearning for more. The passion that had been built up for five years had been ignited. Five years of heart break, sadness, desire and a lost love had been brought out between them. Gatsby had made love to Daisy in a way that neither of them had ever experienced before. They embraced each other before both of them had fallen asleep. Daisy laid in Gatsby's arms and closed her eyes in his comfort. Gatsby kissed Daisy on the forehead. He glanced out into the bay and saw the Green light from the deck of the Buchanan Mansion. The light no longer had the same meaning to him as it did in the past. There was no more reaching out for something Gatsby couldn't have. Daisy was finally his after 5 long years.
