What I was feeling when I saw Jay

I am so happy that Nick invited me over for tea today. I just wanted to get out of the house on this rainy day and spend time with my cousin. Of course, Tom was too busy to spend time with me anyways. I had my driver take me over to Nick's house on the west egg side right away. When I arrived at Nick's it was pouring outside but I could still tell how nicely put together his house was. His cute little house, the beautiful flowers, and everything was so perfect. Even his grass was cut so nicely. The rain didn't ruin any of it. When I got out of the car, my driver drove away and I told him to be back in give or take an hour. Right when I got out of the car, Nick came outside on the porch to let me in. He was so welcoming as always. I slowly walked into his petite little home and sat down in his living room. Everything was beautiful. There was tons of gorgeous, colorful flowers and plenty of tasteful finger food and of course, tea. I sat there waiting for Nick to come and join me and then in walks someone else. Someone who I imagined I never thought I would see again before I die. I couldn't believe who I saw. I thought I was dreaming or seeing a ghost. My stomach dropped when I realized all of it was so real. It was all really happening. There he stood, the past love of my life, Jay Gatsby. Right in that moment I couldn't tell exactly what I was feeling. I felt so many things and confused was one of them. I was confused on how Jay knew Nick and how he was at tea. I was sad because I forgot what it was like to be with Jay and I missed him. I was happy because I was taken by such surprise seeing Jay and I remembered the love we used to share. I was annoyed with Nick for just inviting me to tea and not telling me Jay Gatsby would be there. But most of all I felt enchanted like I felt I was going to fall in love again, but with the right person this time.
