Sebastian sat in his Mid-Century recliner, reading Tae Tae Dreamz's Caged Roar, a book about power and life. He was currently on Chapter 23 and, if not for his pride, he'd praise the author for knowing how to keep the audiences attention, not once faltering in skill. Reading was his guilty pleasure if it could be called a guilty pleasure at all. It was one thing in life he looked forward to other than the success of his business.

       He reached to the right side of him and took hold of his coffee, silently thanking the Heaven's for such a beverage being created as he took a sip. The black liquid was a life savor, keeping him sane at the most tense of situations.

       He groaned when his phone rang on the stand. He could never just have a peaceful day without somebody interfering. He let an irritated breath escape his lips before letting the call go to voicemail. When the answering machine picked up, he grew even more irritated at the voice that spoke.

"Sebastian."

       Sometimes Sebastian wondered why Aiden pushed so hard for him to 'get a life' as he so put it. Obviously, he didn’t have one of his own if he always had time to bother him. "Sebastian. I know you're there.", Aiden's voice rang out once again.

"…"

"..bastard."

       Sebastian heatedly glared at the machined. Of course Aiden couldn’t see him, but if he could, he'd be burnt to crisps. He listened intently as his nonsensical friend continued. "Well, I was calling to let you know that there was a company wanting to meet with you. I think they'd benefit you greatly. Here, I'll send the link to their webpage to your email." What Aiden said had interested Sebastian. No matter how big of an idiot he was, Aiden was a genius when it came to marketing.

       He got up and went over to his laptop. After putting in his password, he checked his email and clicked on the email Aiden sent him. The website was indeed alluring. The layout was well put together and apon further inspection, their concept was brilliant. Making a mental note to thank the idiot later, he began chatting back and forth with the owner, Seung Daniello and they'd come to an agreement on the date of their meeting.

       Exiting out of the webpage and going back to his inbox, he caught site of another email. He rolled his eyes at the headline.

We miss you, Sebastian. Please, come back to Mid-Kiss soon.

You currently have 112 Notifications.

The raven-haired male clicked on the link below and was brought back to the revolting site. It never failed to make him grimace. Scrolling down, he shook his head at the 29 message requests and 83 kisses he'd received. His expression clearly read that of annoyance. He clicked on a few of the messages and quickly grew disgusted.

Subject: Notice Me Sempai!

Ugh. Your too bad for mii heart.

From: 1234<3

       He never knew he could be as disappointed in the human race as he was now. He skimmed over all of the messages, not even bothering to click on anymore of them. The subjects were more than enough for him. When he'd finally reached the bottom of the heaps of mail, he came across one specific message. The subject just simply said [No Subject]. He dragged his cursor over it and clicked on it.

[No Subject]

Hi.

From: Simply-Irresistible

       ..It was plain. So vague. She didn’t attempt to make it exciting at all. Intrigued, he clicked on her username. The first thing he saw was her picture. She was sitting on a bench in a badge dress, laughing obviously at the person who snapped the photo. She had a nice smile, Sebastian would give her that much. He then scrolled down to her info.

       She was shorter than him, two years younger, had a smaller frame and held a respectable job as a Commercial Artist. After he read her info, he let his eyes trail over her 'About Me'.

About Me: If you have any further questions pertaining to me, then you should message me for answers.

       Sebastian shrugged his shoulders. It didn’t sound too bad. He then decided he'd give it a try. He typed a reply in the chat box, sent it and then sat back in his chair, waiting for a response.

       Aliyah stepped out of the shower. She was grateful to the hot water as it helped to relieve some stress. The fact that Adam was getting married had her emotionally drained. After changing into her sleep attire, she climbed into bed. All she wanted to do now was to sleep.

       Just as she was about to let the sleep consume her, she shifted her sleepy eyes over to her cellphone as it gave off a notification sound. She reluctantly sat up and reached for it. She put in her passcode and rubbed at her eyes before reading the message. It was from Faith.

Don’t forget to check that dating site. I want to hear all about it tomorrow.

Received: 10:01 pm

       Aliyah let out a sigh. She'd forgotten all about that site. Part of her wanted to just fall asleep and tell Faith that she didn’t receive her message, but she knew she was only trying to help her. She yawned and retrieved her laptop from under her bed. What was the site called again? Mindless… Mid-lips… Mid-Kiss? Yeah. That sounded about right.

       She typed in the website name and was redirected to the site. She had to search her foggy memory for her username and password. After typing it in, she saw that she had 15 kisses, 3 new message requests and 1 reply. She clicked on the reply, ignoring the other notifications. After all, this was the only guy Faith and Rosie had said for her to talk to.

[Re: No Subject]

Hey. How are you?

From: Sebastian1992

       She sighed again for the umpteenth time that night. Did she really have to talk to this stranger? What if he turned out to be some stalker or something? She stared at the message displayed in front of her before ultimately deciding that if she didn’t like it or if something got too far out of hand, she'd delete her account. She sent her response and it was seconds before she got a reply.

I'm fine and yourself?

To: Sebastian1992

[Reply: No Subject]

Fine.

From: Sebastian1992

       She rolled her eyes at his response. She hated whenever people wrote one word responses. It defeated the purpose of the conversation. She began to wonder why he signed up for this site, anyway. He didn’t seem like he enjoyed it much.

What made you decide to sign up for a site like this?

To: Sebastian1992

[Re: No Subject]

I was forced by two idiots.

From: Sebastian1992

       Aliyah found herself smiling at his response. She'd guessed it were a number of people put up to such a thing as online dating. She, herself was put up to it, so she could relate.

Lol. I didn’t want to try this site out, either.

To: Sebastian1992

[Re: No Subject]

So, you were a victim, too.

From: Sebastian1992

..Victim? Well, actually my friends thought it'd be best so that

I could get over someone.

To: Sebastian1992

[Re: No Subject]

Is it working?

From: Sebastian1992

       ..Was it? She couldn’t really be sure, since she'd only just joined the site. If she had to be honest, though, talking to Sebastian wasn’t as bad as she thought it would be, but it still didn’t fill the hole in her heart that had been created by Adam.. unbeknownst to him. Maybe if she had been the one to say something to Adam and not waited for him to make the first move, she'd be the one to walk down the isle to him and not Jalisa.. But, she wasn’t and she had to face that fact. She let out a breath. All this thinking was tiring her out, plus she had to get up early for work the next day. She subtly yawned and then typed her reply.

Can't be sure. I haven't been on here that long. We can continue

This tomorrow, though? Sorry. I'm really sleepy.

To: Sebastian1992

       Sebastian glanced at the clock on the bottom right hand side of his laptop. It read 5:53 pm, so he guessed they were quite a distance from each other which resulted in two different time zones.

No need to apologize. Good night.

To: Simply-Irresistible

[Re: No Subject]

Night.

From: Simply-Irresistible

       Sebastian sat back in his chair and stared at the message in front of him. It wasn’t as bad as he thought it'd be. This 'Simply-Irresistible' girl didn’t seem extraordinary or anything, but she was easy to talk to. No over flirty attempts or fake laughter where it wasn’t needed. He actually wouldn’t mind conversing with her a little more from time to time.

       Caught up in his thoughts, he failed to check the caller I.D. when his cell phone rang in his pocket.

"Hello?"

"Sebastian. Can you open the gate?"
