As you sat at the bar and took a sip of your drink, you thought about how your night was just getting worse.

The bar was becoming more empty and your friends had just randomly ditched you.

The bar tender came up to you from the other side of the counter and asked you if you wanted anything else.

"No thank you, I'm leaving soon." You tell him.
He nods in response and then gets back to work.

You take a last sip of your drink and then check your phone to see the time.

"11:45!" You say to yourself. "It's so early."

You sigh to yourself and then play with your glass.

As you turn to your side, a guy sits beside you.

"I'll just have a water." He says politely.
"No problem sir." The bar tender replies.

You look at him more clearly when he turns to face you.

He was the most stunning man you had ever seen.

"Sorry if I'm interrupting you." He says apologetically. The man begins to stand up, but you reassure him that he is fine and that he can stay.

"So, where are your friends?" He asks you.

"Well they kind of left." You reply.

"Same." The man replies to you.

You both sit in silence for a moment, staring straight in front at the drinks behind the bar.

The man turns to face you again and asks for your name.

"I'm y/n," You reply, "what's your name?"

"I'm Tom." He says smiling at you.

"It's nice to meet you Tom. I think I'm going to head home." You tell him.

"Let me call you a cab." Tom exclaims.

"Oh you don't have to don't worry."

"No I insist." Tom replies. He pulls his phone out of his pocket and dials a number for a cab.

"There you go, it will be here in 5 minutes." Tom tells you.

"Thank you so much." You say.

"No problem."

—
When your cab arrives, Tom walks you outside to make sure you get into the cab safely.

"Hey can I get your number just so I know that you get home safely?" Tom asks you.

"Yeah sure."

You and Tom exchange number for a moment and then your get into the cab, smiling at Tom as you leave.

—
When you get home you go straight to your bed and lay down.

A notification sounds your phone so you check who it is.

'Sorry if I seemed a bit much earlier, but I just think you seem nice. It was lovely meeting you y/n' it was Tom messaging you.

You message him back to tell him that you got back home safely and you thank him for calling you the cab.

Maybe your night wasn't so bad after all.
