He smiled as she spoke about her job and nodded. “That sounds a lot more fun than my job if I’m being honest. Do you usually get first hand accounts about these sexual exploits or is just by word of mouth?” He laughed softly and sipped his water. “Mm, a hundred and one actually but you were close. I like to think I look good for my age, all those before sleep beauty rituals I suppose. Which really just consists of washing my face while blasting some music. It’s very good for the skin,” he joked. “What’s your preferred drink? Mine is very well trained. He’s a bull dog actually. Truly a man’s best friend. I don’t know what I’d do without him. He puts up with all my shit. I can fully admit that my people are responsible for the kale craze. It’s not one I’m very proud of but then again we don’t have very much to be proud of,” he replied with a shrug. “So you made it sound like you didn’t grow up in New York, can I ask where it was you did grow up? Do I get to. know more about you or is this an interview?” He teased her as he reached across the table to brush his thumb across the back of her hand affectionately.
“I’m definitely not going to argue that.” Carrie said, because surely her worst days at the job were nothing like the worst says at his. “Wouldn’t you love to know the answer to that? But I’m actually going to keep that to myself.” She said, enjoying the air of mystery that came with her job. That’s how she knew if she really wanted a guy, if he was okay with that answer. Some guys, even in today’s day and age had some kind of problem with a woman who was okay with her sexuality. They wanted a freak in the sheets, for sure but god forbid she was a freak with anyone who wasn’t them. “Damn, missed it by the skin of my teeth.” She snapped her fingers in mock disappointment. “I love a man who grooms. It’s really something that lacks with a lot of members of your sex.” Carrie smiled as he asked her what her preferred drink was. Rather than tell him, she stopped a serve, asking them for a Cosmo before looking back at him. “I’m not much of a dog person, I just have to be honest with you. I don’t hate them, though, but I much rather keep them away from my closet. More specifically, my heels.” Carrie told him, in case he was planning any playdates already. “No, you don’t... but you strike me as the good kind of white, so that’s why I’m entertaining the thought of us being a thing one day.” Carrie twisted her lips, again she preferred the mystery. Not many people knew where Carrie Bradshaw came from, they just knew that New York wasn’t the same once she arrived. “Connecticut. And if you tell anyone, I’ll deny it. But Connecticut.”
