Sebastian had a rather unpleasant awakening as he had been shot awake by his dog Nash jumping on his stomach full force. Sebastian's eyes shot open as he glared sharply at his dog before pushing him off his bed and yanking his blanket over his face. "Get outta here Nash" Sebastian groaned before he peered out from under the blanket to see his rescue catahoula mix sitting nicely at the entrance to his bedroom with is tail wagging eagerly. Sebastian rubbed his hand lazily across his face before running it through his messy curls "Okay. Okay. I'm getting up. I am" Sebastian mumbled tiredly as he swung his legs over the side of the bed before he pushed himself to his feet and made his way towards his bathroom to freshen up while watching out for a frantic Nash who was sprinting through the hall. Sebastian brushed his teeth and put on deodorant letting his messy hair remain as he went back to his room to slip on some clean dark skinny jeans leaving on his t shirt that he had fallen asleep in the night before. Sebastian walked to the apartment door calling it good as he slipped on his Nike shoes and grabbed Nash's leash "C'mon rascal, let's go take you on that walk" Sebastian exclaimed as he grabbed his apartment keys stuffing them in his pocket next to his wallet as he locked up the apartment door behind him and made his wait out of the complex. Although he was still grumpy from the rude awakening to the day Sebastian truly loved going on his daily walks with Nash especially since it was time for him to loosen up before he had to go to his crummy job.

Sebastian walked the street admiring the small shops as the began to open for the day approaching, his eyes focused on the coffee shop ahead. It was the only coffee shop he went to in town and the only coffee shop he would probably ever go to. It was one of the few coffee shops that allowed dogs in and although Nash was rambunctious this morning in a public setting he was very obedient and well mannered that Sebastian didn't see the problem in bringing his dog into a shop if he wasn't disrupting anything. Sebastian looke up at the sign that read Crème de la Cafe the leds glowing as the sign displays that they are open. Sebastian walked into the shop with a smile as he made eye contact with Theresa one of the main baristas that worked there "good morning beautiful, can I get my regular?" Sebastian said softly with a grin as he put a 15 on the counter "keep the change love" Sebastian said with a small wink before he made his way over to his regular high top table sliding Nash's leash over the peg of the chair as he sat down awaiting his coffee. He didn't need the money anyways. Sure a coffee and a bagel was probably only 6 bucks also usually the works barely ever charged him or would often give him the employee discount he still would tip them an extra 5 to 10 dollars just because with his job he made enough that ten dollars a day didn't really put a dent in his psyched besides it's not like he was saving up for anything. His apartment was just enough for him and he didn't need a car fancy car because he only drove the one he had currently when he goes to work or when he goes deeper into town or when he rarely visits his family. He had more than enough money to be stable with him and Nash there was no need for the extra cash that he had in his paycheck when he subtracted the expenses.

Sebastian watched as Theresa walked from behind the counter and took the seat across from him handing him his coffee and bagel and tossing down a treat for Nash who laid underneath their feet.

"Did you hear Jeremiah is thinking of quitting?" Theresa explain looking at Sebastian with a smug look

Sebastian rolled his eyes as he heard the mention of Jeremiah it was enough to make him think about him which was something he didn't particularly want to do. Jeremiah had been the man that Sebastian had spent the last year in a half being a situationship that screamed unhealthy in multiple ways. Having met him one day at the coffee shop and then later ending that day ending up spending the night as his place on a whim had turned into a regularly routine up until about a week or so ago when he decided to gas light and target Sebastian. The fact that he still worked at his favorite coffee shop just seemed to be the icing on the cake of his own doings. "I did not hear he was thinking about quitting.. this place would definitely be a lot more enjoyable without him here" Sebastian exclaimed resting his head on his hand as he played with his coffee straw. "It'd be real nice if he left town but.. we both know I'm not that lucky." Sebastian mumbled with a sigh to make light of the situation as he took a sip of his drink.

"You just gotta get over him Ashy, we all could go out partying this weekend. Loosen up. Get you over this guy and under a new one like you do best." Theresa said bumping him in the shoulder with a grin.
Sebastian rolled his eyes with a small smug look on his face as he stared at his coffee "I mean maybe.. as long as there not a barista" Sebastian said with a smirk as it was an inside joke considering majority of the baristas that work there he's either hit on or had a thing with, although all of them other than for obvious reasons Jeremiah was the one who wasn't still friends with him.
