You're feeling buzzed and a little dizzy as you step outside the bar, the cool night air hitting you like a wave. You're not really sure how much you've had to drink, but you're definitely feeling the effects. You're laughing with your friends, not really paying attention to where you're going, when you suddenly feel yourself bump into someone. You look up to see TOM in front of you, looking surprised.

"Hey, watch where you're going!" you say, trying to cover up your embarrassment.

"I could say the same thing to you," he says, a small smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

You feel your face flush as you realize how silly you must look, stumbling around like a drunk. You try to steady yourself, but you're having a hard time keeping your balance.

"Are you okay?" he asks, reaching out to help you.

You feel a jolt of electricity as his hand touches yours, and you can't help but smile. You look up at him, feeling a little dizzy but also a little giddy.

"I'm fine," you say, "just a little drunk."

He laughs, and you feel your heart skip a beat. You can't believe you're standing here, talking to him like this. You've had a crush on him for months, and you've listened to all his bands songs but you never thought you'd actually get to talk to him.

"Hey, do you want me to walk you home?" he asks, looking at you with concern.

You nod, feeling a little bit grateful. You're not sure you could make it home on your own, and you don't really want to be alone right now.

As he takes your arm and leads you down the street, you feel a sense of contentment wash over you. You're not sure what's going to happen next, but for now, you're happy just to be with him.

As you walk, you talk about anything and everything, from your favorite movies to your hopes and dreams. You feel like you're getting to know him in a way you never have before, and you can't help but feel a little bit closer to him.

When you finally reach your door, you feel a twinge of disappointment. You don't want the night to end, but you know it has to. You turn to him, feeling a little bit nervous.

"Thanks for walking me home," you say, "I had a really great time tonight."

He smiles at you, and you feel your heart flutter.
