Gatsby's house was truly amazing.
Well, I had never had a proper tour of his house so this was the first time I had ever since it like this. And it certainly did feel like a treat.
It was definitely amazing.
We walked around the huge mansion, talking and laughing, having fun and everything seemed well. But it was sort of broken at one point when Daisy was dancing around the lovely shirts that Gatsby was throwing her, throwing them from his closet. She suddenly fell down and collapsed on his bed, surrounded by these beautiful shirts. I was about to go to her when suddenly Gatsby ran down the stairs that lead from his wardrobe to his bed and went to comfort her.
"Daisy…Daisy, what's wrong?" Gatsby asked gently as he cupped her face softly and looked at her, worried about why she was crying. Daisy looked at him; her bright blue eyes filled with tears as she hiccupped slightly and said" They're such beautiful shirts…." She slowly pulled away and buried her face in the soft, rich material. "It makes me sad because I've never seen such…such beautiful shirts before." Her soft voice muffled by the material.
We made our way to the pool after the little incident where we happened to bump into Katherine. I could tell Daisy was quite surprised to see a girl there because her eyes widened slightly. "Who's that, Gatsby?" She asked curiously, tugging slightly at his long sleeved jumper. He followed her eye line before a smile came on his face. "That is a dear friend of mine. She is Katherine." By the time he said that, I was on my way to greet her. Dressed in a patterned robe, she was dressed in a stylish light blue swimsuit and was sitting crossed legged by the poolside. Her hair was wet from just having a dip in the pool and was tied in a messy bun on her head.
She had a big brown notebook in her hands and she was writing in, all her concentration focused on what she was writing. "Katherine!" I shouted as I neared her and she lifted her head before smiling at me.
"Hello, Nick." She said as she patted the pavement beside her. I sat right next to her and looked out towards the ocean. Gatsby and Daisy were chatting to themselves as they took a stroll along the beach. "Gatsby's finally getting his time with Daisy." I commented, nodding my head towards their direction. Katherine looked at where I was looking and smiled softly as she saw the couple. "I think he's finally happy." I added but Katherine shook her head slowly as she then looked down at her notebook.
"He's not truly happy." Katherine started, her eyes really concentrating on the paper in front of her. "He won't be truly happy until Daisy's in his arms away from Tom and that marriage is over." I looked her, a sad smile on her lips as she looked up and sighed. "But sometimes, I think he's asking for just too much. And that could end up badly…very badly."
No words were said between us as Katherine reached towards me and wrapped her arm around mine. I didn't push her away as I let her lean against me. My head tilted to lean against her head which was on my shoulder and we watched the sun set, the sky turning a warm orange.
Well, that's the short update from Preciola! Hope you enjoyed it!
