Ohhh!!!! Then Nick would totally appreciate that because he has that mysterious billionaire thing going for him but I feel like maybe it took something like Lex coming to his parties to get anyone to come there at the beginning?? Because itās like WHO IS THIS GUY WHY IS HE HAVING PARTIES ARE WE ALL GOING TO BE MURDERED?!?! and maybe Nickās parties have picked up steam now but Lex was really the one who helped get them going in the first place??
Ahahha. Nick probably has embraced it by now because if Lex is calling him Gatsby then other people probably are and Nick is probably known as the resident Gatsby even though most people have actually never met him??? Of if they have, donāt really know it. But I totes do think thatās cool that all these other rich people are starting to flock there because of Nick and the Porters. Like actual trendsetting rich friends, haha.
OH MAN. YES THAT. I actually can kind of see these two having met in New York??? (Did I already ask you about this? I canāt remember.) Maybe when Nick was just starting his company and was living in New York he actually met Lex and it was when Nick was still super socially awkward and maybe Lex was actually one of the ones who was like āif youāre going to be rich, you cannot be this awkwardā and help turn Nick into the sassy, confident man he is today?? I dunno, would Lex even do that?? Because if he could then these two couldāve actually been friends for a lot of years. But yes, I still definitely see them hanging out at rich people parties. Which sounds so fun, ahaha.
OHHHH!!! Maybe Nick actually knows that something up with Valerie (maybe just not what) and knows that Lex wants to stay in VA Beach. So maybe Nick does actually consider buying the house but is doing so incase Lex decides he does want it?? Because I could see Nick buying it just because but he doesnāt actually need it so I donāt think heād be super upset if he didnāt get it. BUT OH BBYS. *cries forever because Valerie didnāt think he actually meant it*
He actually might tell Lex, tbh. Though actually now that Iāve thought more about it, I feel like Nick does put a lot of money into things around the town and so he actually might end up moving back to New York still owning things in VA Beach. But I feel like a lot of the money Nick throws around in the town is more to help people?? Like he probs owns half of the hospital (which wouldāve been through donations, probs) and maybe a hotel or two or things like that. Because I feel like Nick does want to help people with all the money heās owned because on the flip side from Lex, he does understand what itās like to not be rich. Though Nick, like, makes back everything he spends as soon as he spends it so itās not like heās going to go broke by donating things, haha. BUT THE BANANA OH MAN. Yes. Ahahaha. Nick would probably just laugh because he might not know how much a banana costs anymore, tbh. Iām honestly torn between Nick having Sally do all of his shopping and him, like, trailing her around the store while on the phone or staring at his phone or something just vaguely pointing out things he would consider eating and leaving her to actually pick them up off the shelf, hahaha.
TINA I ADORE ALLLLL OF THIS!!!!!! Ā Ok, ok, yes!!! Ā I can totally see Lex being the one to come in and help kickstart the glam and popularity of his parties and tbh he potentially helped teach him how to play up the mysterious angle as a cool enigma rather than a will-we-be-murdered horror scenario??? bc Lex has a lot of experience w showmanship hahahahĀ
Tina how much do I love the idea of ppl just calling him The Gatsby of Virginia Beach <3333333 hahahaha and Lex def loves that that name has caught on too and omg yeah heās def all like,Ā āWhatās up, Gatsby?ā and the sort of thing when he sees him smdh hahaha and if Nick said likeĀ āthey havenāt even met me!ā heād be like,Ā āwell, thatās how the story beginsā hahhaa
I love the idea of them meeting in NYC!!!! Ā I can actually potentially see Lex being one of his initial investors????? Ā Like, I think heād respect that Nickās actually making something of himself plus Lex would be like @his family,Ā āPlease, we need an IT guyā and literally help him start an international, multi-million dollar business bc Lexās wifi broke once #facepalm Ā OMG LEX PULLING A PYGMALION I LOVE IT Ā I can def see Lex doing something like this!! Ā Like, heās crusty and has zero respect for fake and dishonest ppl but Nick clearly isnāt any of that and he has a genuine gift and is really trying to make something of himself and Lex actually is a v generous person under that shell, plus I can def see him feeling like this would be something to do w his time and just yesss anyway, the point is, I can def see this!!! Ā IF UR GONNA BE RICH YOU CAN BE THIS AWK HAHAHAH probably something he actually said plusĀ ātheyāll eat you alive.ā Ā hahaha sassy and confident, lexās two trademarksĀ
Lex: *wipes away proud tears* I taught him everything I know...except alcoholism...I didnāt teach him that, thank God...
Oh, yeah, esp if theyāve been friends for years, Nick probs knows that Lex dated Valerie and it ended poorly (it was Lexās fault but yknow hahah lex is self-destructive like that) and heās probs noticed that Lex never fully got over her and yasss so he probs does know somethingās up w Valerie!!! Ā and yeah idk if he wouldāve told him about how he put it all on the line and Valerie literally laughed at him (she thought he was trying to trick her into sleeping w him) unless he was reaaaaaallllllyyyyyyyy drunk which is def a possibility, but in that case Lex probs doesnāt ~know that he told him HAHAHAHAHA Ā and Iām honestly cool w either possibility hahaha
Since it took me 784903793594832 years to respond, atp, Lex is moving forward w buying it but heās pretending heās not, so Ian can still get the closure from selling it hahahaha so heās having his friend Ward be the face of the mysterious person whoās interested in buying smdh hahahaha but anyway, nick could def be in on this whole scheme, if you like? Ā Or not if thatād create more plots? Ā Iām down w whatever!!
Nick buying things to help ppl <3333333 Ā I feel like Lex doesnāt even think in those sort of terms, for the most part, bc again he was born rich and it just...doesnāt occur to him smdh Ā But omg honestly either grocery shopping adventure is gold i loVE I can totally see either!!! Ā And I can also see where both happen on occasion???? Ā lIke, maybe Sally does most of the shopping herself but then sometimes sheās likeĀ āur coming w me bc you need to meet w me about x document to me and i need to shop + you nEED to get out of the office today and you really, really need to vary your diet and i want to get you to experiment w things you might likeā etc or whatever hahaha so honestly either is v possible as far as Sally goes hahahaha
