Novel & Cerita Gumball Laugh

she said with a laugh. "Not funny" Allen muttered while everyone else hid their laughter behind their hands. He cursed his facial muscles when his face tugged up into an involuntary smile. His patience, and ankles lasted long enough for her to get a couple of shots before he gave up on the whole idea and led them through to the tv room, deciding they deserved a night of crappy movies and laughter

He looks around at the stunned faces, then back to me. His lips curl into a grin as he raises an eyebrow, his arms still folded. “What? Are you very surprised?” The room is silent for a heartbeat before Rothgar throws his head back and lets out a deep, rumbling laugh. The sound is unexpected, a loud and boisterous laugh that fills the space, echoing off the walls. It’s clear that he’s enjoying this.

What kind of karma did I cash in? “You’re not listening,” he says, looking straight ahead. Crap. I spaced out. “Sorry,” I laugh, biting the inside of my cheek. “Can you say it again? Your smile short-circuited my brain.” He laughs. An actual genuine laugh. And it’s the best sound in the world. I get smiles maybe once a week, but a laugh? That’s a blue moon event. “Okay,” he says, shaking his head like I’m ridiculous. “I’ll say it again. Do you know what kind of people were in that auction?”

The timing was so cosmically terrible it was almost impressive. The next thing that followed was a chortle of laughter, uncontainable until I was practically doubled over. Gabriel squinted in confusion, clearly thrown off as I continued to laugh maniacally, clutching my stomach. “O… OmG… that..” I gasped, my finger still jabbed in his direction as if he were the punch line to a joke, “That’s the most… the most hilarious thing I’ve ever heard.”

“Don’t you give like, millions of dollars to charity.” “Anonymously, yes. But anonymous donations don’t help your public image.” “Neither does looking so grumpy all the time!” teased Lola. I stared at her. Hard. Watched her shrink in her seat, as she blushed at the glare I was giving her. I started to shake. Finally, I couldn’t help myself. I started to chuckle, a booming chuckle that came up from the inside of my chest. “Sorry,” I said, laughing. “I couldn’t help it. Your face, I just…”

MOLLY I had a problem. I was pointing a gun at a guy with green makeup on his face, and I kept thinking how he looked like that goblin guy from one of those superhero movies. A bubble of laughter was coming up in my sternum. I tried stopping it, I did, but once it was past my throat, it was hopeless. I bent over, my gun still in the air, and the laughter was kapoosh! Totally coming out of me. I winced, hearing a note of hysteria on the edge of it.

Bren had kicked Gloria in the shin under the table and was glaring at her. I stared at her and then burst out laughing hysterically. “Oh, you had me there for a minute! Oh, my gosh, Gloria, you are too funny!” I wiped the tears from my eyes, I was laughing so hard. I looked around and realized no one else was laughing and my laughter slowly faded.

He grinned down at me, his eyes lighting up with that boyish happiness that made me giggle. " Stop!" I squealed, thrashing and laughing. By now my eyes were blurry from the tears of laughter. Kaleb chuckled. " Not until you take those words back." he tickled me furiously, not letting up until I had no choice but to surrender. " Okay, okay!" I gasped, my belly hurting from laughing so much. " I take those words back." Kaleb tilted his head, his eyes shinning as he hummed. " I don't know. It doesn't sound convincing enough."

Like full-body, shoulders-shaking laughter. “It’s not funny!” I hiss, smacking his arm, though I can’t help the small grin tugging at my lips. “That’s Calvin. Mr. ‘All Business, All the Time.’ Since when does he... dance like that?” Bill wipes at his eyes, still laughing. “Looks like Calvin’s not as boring as you thought.”

The laugh cut off instantly. I frowned, leaning forward on the sofa. Glitch, I told myself. Just a compressed audio error. I unpaused it. The movie continued, but the laughter returned a few seconds later, layered underneath the dialogue. It was mocking, a rhythmic he-he-he that seemed to pulse with a life of its own.
