He continued to write to her and asked her to wait for him until he returned. She agreed at first , but along came a rich man by the name of Tom Buchanan and began having relations with Daisy. She didn't really love Tom but he had money and power so as any girl in the 1920's would do she married him for his wealth.

After he built up a large sum of money he began throwing huge parties all of the time. He new that by doing this he could show off his money. Most of the people that showed up were not even invited but they were pretty much open parties anyway.

Picking up Nick in his biggest, best, and most expensive car Gatsby told Nick about his so called "child hood". He wanted Nick to know how rich he was and where he got his money so that he could go and tell Daisy all about it. Gatsby also arranged for he and Daisy to be invited to Nick's house one afternoon. After meeting her there they talked for a short while and it ended up with the three of them going to Gatsby's house.
