Okay, I'm to see that some people like this story which always makes me smile. So this is now chapter three and I'm going to change things up a little. Some things may not go the same way as the book or movie. This is because I want to take it on differently but some parts of it will still be the same. So now, welcome to Gatsby's party!


Gatsby's parties were always huge and full of glamour. Everyone from everywhere, filthy rich to the dirtiest of poor would come and have a good time. It was time to let everything go and just enjoy the food, music and just dance.

I realized this when I walked into the party. Doing the polite thing, I showed the butler my invitation telling him I was invited. But that didn't matter as I got caught up in a large crowd heading for the inside and as soon as we reached, I was in awe.

Music was playing from every corner, entertainment was everywhere, people were dancing and having a good time it was unbelievable. Glitz and glamour was everywhere and I couldn't help but smile as a waiter offered a glass of champagne.

I could now see why his parties were so famous….

They were indeed something to talk about.

Suddenly while talking, dancing and having fun with a very eccentric lady called Jordan Baker, another woman came into my mind. I almost didn't realize when Jordan was leaving when she tapped me on my shoulder and whispered" Gatsby has called for me." I looked at her with slight shock before nodding and the butler led the way for her. I turned back to the still energetic scene down below and finished the 5th glass of champagne I had had this evening. Suddenly, a small delicate hand tapped my shoulder and I turned around to see who it was.

It was Katherine and she was wearing her bright smile like it was her signature trait.

She looked absolutely beautiful tonight as she stood out a bit from the other women. All the women I had seen around me had been wearing sparklingly dresses and jewels. Katherine, however, was dressed more low key. She had a lovely light blue dress on which was tight around her chest but then loosened as it went down her body. Her hair was still in the low ponytail except for a pearl hair clip in her hair. A pearl bracelet was around her wrist and the gold chain was still around her neck. On her feet, were a pair of white ballet flats.

"Mr Carraway!" She shouted excitedly as she leaned in to hug me. I accepted the hug, smiling as she backed away soon and tapped me on the shoulder. "I'm so glad you could make it! I honestly thought you were going to stay at home."

"Who, me?" I said, teasing her as I placed a hand on my heart in mock shock. "I would never miss a party. I'm actually a party animal you know." I gave her a small wink as I said that. Katherine giggled and rolled her eyes before placing a hand on her hip. "Yeah, because you look like a party animal." She said with a grin as I chuckled lightly. "So I see you met Ms Baker. She's lovely isn't she?" She said with a smile as I nodded. "She is. I've actually met her before so it wasn't the first time." I stated as I grabbed a glass of champagne from a tray and passed it to her. She accepted it gratefully and took a sip. "Oh really? How do you know her?" She asked curiously.

"She's a friend of my dear cousin so I happened to meet her at one of her gatherings." Katherine nodded as she said" Ah, I see. Well, I hope your enjoying yourself." I nodded, smiling as Katherine leaned against the railing. "I am. Never danced as much as I did tonight." Then I had an idea. "Would you like to dance with me?" I asked as Katherine looked me. "Sure, I'd love to. You're the first decent man I'd dance with tonight." She stated as I took her hand and led her to the dance floor.

My hand went to her waist and my other held her hand. Her other hand was placed on my shoulder and we danced slowly as the song was slow and calming. "You're quite a good slow dancer, Nick." Katherine said, leaning her head on my shoulder. That was the first time she had used my first name instead of my last. "So are you…" I started, struggling as I didn't know her name. "Katherine." She completed. "Katherine Gatsby." I nodded as we continued to dance for a while. Once the song was over, Katherine and I smiled at each other before going off the dance floor.

"Katherine." A male voice called as Katherine and I had started some interesting conversation. "Excuse me." She said with a smile as she walked past me. I couldn't help but turn around and saw that she was walking up to a man in a black suit. The man looked quite young, possibly late twenties, early thirties. He was quite a good looking man was well. Dirty blonde hair styled back perfectly and blue eyes which held a certain joy as Katherine approached him. I knew that I shouldn't have stared but watching the two interact was quite fascinating.

Katherine smiled up at the man who was telling her something. She nodded as she then looked at the other way and said something as well. This went on for quite some time when Katherine finally turned her head and looked in my direction. The man nodded as he smiled and placed a sweet kiss on her forehead.

Katherine returned the gesture with a kiss on his cheek and made her way towards me. I was about to ask her a question when she took my hand and looked at me.

"Nick, I have a lovely friend who would like to meet you."


We all probably know who the lovely friend is as I just described him and it's not hard to guess who Katherine was talking to. Hope you liked the chapter and stay tuned for the next one!
