Chapter 3
The next morning, Carrie woke with a blistering hangover. She rolled over and looked out of her window at the blue New York sky. The light almost blinded her. She scrunched up her eyes again and turned over wondering how much she had broken her two martinis limit last night. After lying for five minutes she somehow mustered the energy to reach towards the phone. She tried Big's mobile but the phone was ringing out. "Why isn't he answering his phone?" she wondered irritated. She was eager to find out what had happened last night after they left the bar. She couldn't remember how she got home. The night air must have hit her badly and she was positive she would have something to apologise about! Giving up on Big she phoned the girls quickly and asked them to meet her for lunch. She rolled back over to her other side, having lost all energy. She began wondering again what had happened the previous night. Okay, she was in the bar with Big, she had a few cosmos, and then she came home. "Okay, that's what happened isn't it?" she asked herself. Damn! Why couldn't she remember the walk back to her flat? She must have gotten fairly drunk. The hangover really said it all. She felt like her stomach had been cut open during the night and her skeleton had been replaced with a shaky old mans.
She suddenly heard a noise coming from her shower room. She flinched. There was that banging noise again. Reaching around on the floor she grabbed the first thing that came into her hands. Armed with last season's black, strapless Halo shoes, she was prepared for almost anything. However as she tiptoed into her bathroom she was certainly not prepared to see a tall, dark haired and handsome man. He was stood wearing only a towel around his waist and shaving in her bathroom.
"BIG!" She exclaimed. She was just about to ask what he was doing there when the thought occurred to her that obviously, they had slept together the night before.
She quickly replaced her shock with a smile and pecked him on the cheek. "Good morning!"
"Phew," she thought. That was an okay recovery. It would not do to let him know that she could not remember any of his previous night's performance in bed. As she headed towards the kitchen to make tea for them both, she wondered if you sleep with someone, but don't remember it does it still count in your heart? Well, she figured it was Big. She had definitely loved Big before. She had to admit, that she still loved him now. They were great friends after all. However, that still did not make it any weirder that they had had sex……that she couldn't remember.
She brought Big his black tea; he never really woke up in the morning till he had a mug. As she sat down next to him on the bed, she fixed his tie. He looked at her oddly. "It was a little squint "Big was silent for a second.
"Well, I've got to get going." He stated simply while standing up. Carrie frowned a little. He was acting weird. What had gone on last night? A horrible thought occurred to her that she had been awful in bed because of how drunk she was. She felt completely at a loss as to how to act, or what to say.
"Umm, okay. Well, I guess I'll just see you later." That was all she could think of to say. "When are you leaving the city?"
"About three o'clock today. I have to get an earlier flight than I first thought. So much work to do, you know?"
Carrie only sighed quietly and nodded.
Big walked towards the door and Carrie remained seated on the bed. "So, will I see you anytime soon? Or will it be another six months?" she called.
He dropped his bag and walked over to Carrie. He was standing over her. "It was good to see you again," He patted her head. At that he collecting his bags from the doorway and exited the Carrie Bradshaw apartment leaving its inhabitant confused watching the door after him. The room was empty without his presence. His tea sat almost full and still warm and she could still smell his cologne.

Okay guys, that's another chapter down. : 0…….totally shocked that I have actually written 3 chapters! Do you know in the time that I was supposed to be writing a 6000 report for college I have written 4200 words for fan fiction? My bad, anything for a distraction from college work. Hope you all enjoyed this chapter. In the next chapter Carrie spends the day confused about Big and what happened. Will she get her memory back?
