So I'm back with an immediate update. How cool am I? Yeah, I just love how this story is coming into place and it really makes me smile to see that other people like it as well. Ah, I'm so happy! So let's go for chapter 6, right?

When Nick's finally found out Gatsby's request.

Nick's POV

That night had definitely taken me by surprise. It took me up until I reached home that Gatsby and my cousin, Daisy had been together five years ago. Miss Baker had told me they had a strong love for each other but when Gatsby had to leave Daisy, she had found someone else as she couldn't wait anymore.

And that someone else was Tom Buchanan.

He had come along and had taken Daisy's heart so they had gotten married.

So when they moved to the East Egg, Gatsby had found out that she lived across from him, a lake separating them.

He wanted to get her back.

That's why he always stood at the dock, reaching out towards her…

It was sad story to be truthful but I didn't know what I was going to do. She was married and had children…I couldn't just come and announce that Gatsby wanted to see her again…it would just make things more complicated.

I ran a hand through my hair as I looked up towards the white coloured ceiling.

But Gatsby did love her dearly and he would be so much better for Daisy as Tom would ever be. And to be fair, Tom has been in various affairs so…

I nodded my head in confirmation of my idea as I closed my eyes and made myself comfortable for a goodnight's sleep. I was going to help Gatsby…not because it was for fun…

But because he was my…

He was my friend.

The next day after I had gotten back from work, I was thinking about how to tell Gatsby how I would definitely help him win Daisy back and fortunately, my moment came when I saw him walking up my driveway as I was about to enter my house. "Hello there, Old Sport." He said with smile and I smiled and nodded. "Hello, Gatsby. How is your day today?" I asked politely and he gave me slight shrug. "Nothing much is going on, Old Sport. I'm just getting ready for the next party tonight." The smile on his lips stayed there but soon disappeared as a small frown took over.

"Look Old Sport, I'm terribly sorry for the way I dragged you out yesterday. You probably had plans and it was terrible of me to do that you." Gatsby said apologetically as he shifted lightly, never keeping still. I couldn't help but feel a bit shocked as I heard that but I pushed the feeling down and smiled. "It's okay, Gatsby. It's completely fine. I had enjoyed myself actually so thank you for lunch." I said, reassuring him that I didn't mind so much. A sign of relief showed on his face as the frown taken away and the smile came back. "Thank you Old Sport. Thank you." He said and I waved it off. "No worries…Oh and Gatsby?" I asked and he looked at me expectantly, as if he knew what I was going to say.

"I'll do it." I said firmly as I looked at him. He gave a look of slight confusion so I decided to make it clearer. "I'll help you get Daisy back." I confirmed once again.

And the smile and relief on his face was surely something to remember.

That evening, I attended Gatsby's party as the need to get out of the house was getting unbearable. The music was loud as always and everything was just in full swing. I held my glass of champagne as I walked through the crowd of people, smiling at familiar faces and starting conversations with random strangers.

I had always managed to bump into Katherine, even if I wasn't looking for her. Tonight, she was dressed up in a dark blue dress which stopped slightly above her knees. Her long hair was down so it fell gracefully to her mid back, the necklace around her neck and once again, no shoes. "Where are your shoes?" I asked with a laugh as she led us to the dance floor and we began to dance to the catchy tune of the orchestra. "My shoes are never for me! They get in my way!" She shouted, laughing as she attempted to spin me around and I joyfully did the same.

We danced through most of the night as happiness filled our bones and we laughed until we grew tired and took a seat at one of the tables. Occasionally, we saw Gatsby walking around the place, a glace of champagne in his hand as he smiled and greeted people. It still surprised me how some people didn't know that he was Gatsby but he did keep his identity well hidden.

"So did you say yes?" Katherine asked causally as she leaned back against her seat, crossing her light brown legs, her feet pointed. "To what?" I asked in the same manner as I took a sip of my drink and looked at her. "To inviting Daisy over to tea…and then Gatsby 'surprisingly' coming over." She put air quotation marks over the word 'surprise' as she looked at me. I looked at her as well and asked" He told you?" Katherine giggled slightly as she turned her gaze away from me and looked towards the dark water of the lake. "That man tells me almost everything. He confides in me quite a lot…." She trailed off slowly, her hand rising up to the rim of the glass, circling it carefully. "But he told me that he doesn't want me to get in trouble…as…." She then stopped and closed her eyes with a small smile.

I soon realized that she had ended from there and I continued" Yes, I did. In return, he offered a bit of business to earn some extra money." She nodded and then asked" Did you take you?" I shook my head and replied" No…I already have too much work on my hands…plus I wanted to do as a thing that friends do for each other, you know?" Katherine nodded in understanding as she then leaned forward, her chest touching her propped up knee. "I see. Well, it's very kind of you to help, Nick. Thank you." She replied with a kind smile and I couldn't help but grin and hid my face slightly. "You're welcome. It's nothing much as it's just inviting my cousin over."

Katherine smiled widely as she then reached a hand across the table and held my hand. I smiled at that and tightened my grip around it. "My Nick…Nicky Nick Nick!" She shouted happily over the loud noise and I laughed as the music continued to play loudly.

Gatsby's POV

I smiled softly as I watched Katherine and Nick talk with each other as they played and held hands. I couldn't help but feel the obvious protectiveness I usually felt over Katherine when she talks to men. I would always have a soft spot for her in my heart that even Daisy couldn't take over.

I loved her with my heart.

But there was the excitement that I would finally be able to meet Daisy…my Daisy…

After 5 years, oh, it has been too long.

But…

I just hoped that she loved me.

Just like I loved her.

Hurray, Chapter 6!
