In chapter five, Nick is on his way home from a date with Jordan and sees a very bright light and thinks his house may be on fire, but as he wlaks up to his house, he realizes that every light at the Gatsby property is on. Except there is not a party going on, there is not even anyone at his house. Gatsby starts walking over to Nick and wants him to go to Coney Island with him, but refuses because it is so late. He then, fairly obviously too, brings up if he asked Daisy to meet him for tea. Nick agrees to set it up and Gatsby offers to go for a swim, but quickly declines. He also offers him a great chance to make some great money to do along side what he already does. Mainly to pay him for his deed.
The next day, Gatsby sends over his gardener to mow Nicks lawn and bring flowers over. It is raining and Gatsby is getting uneasy. Now, Gatsby and Daisy finally meet. There is a very uneasy atmosphere in the beginning. He tells Nick it has been a mistake to meet Daisy, but Nick convinces him to give it a chance. Jay continues to talk to Daisy for another half hour and go back to Gatsby's house where he gives them a tour. He even shows her a collection of shirts that a friend sends to him. Daisy begins to cry because they are so beautiful. In the end, Gatsby and Daisy really hit it off and Nick leaves them alone.
