Jokes Are Half Meant Novels & Stories

he declared. My mouth gaped open and stared at him. He was not smiling at all. I froze for a moment and cleared my throat upon realizing he was indeed serious about it. To make the situation less awkward, I said, “Shut up, Everette. That's only a joke. Don't believe every word I said.” He wiggled his eyebrows. “Every joke is half-meant, kitten.” “Not in my case, Everette.”

Jennifer said with a laugh. “What?” I was confused. “You guys look like a happy family, anyone wouldn’t think otherwise trust me,” she said, “Very funny,” I said, giving a fake laugh. “You think I’m telling a lie or going crazy, we’ll see about that soon,” she said, “You just try to add meaning to everything, we just had a harmless conversation, I mean this is how we do talk and we all kinda understand each other so we’ll maybe that's why you are adding meanings to it.”

Hе іmmеdіаtеlу halted the рlеаѕurе аnd I соuldn’t hеlр but thіnk I hаdn’t chosen the rіght mоmеnt tо mаkе a jоkе. “Exсuѕе mе? Dо you wаnt to сlаrіfу that fоr me?” “Jоеl, іt wаѕ a jоkе.” “A рооr joke, уоu knоw I take my рlеаѕurіng you vеrу ѕеrіоuѕlу.

What in the hell was that? Another joke? I think it was. And I think he actually wanted to smile when I called him Useless-er. Huh. I'm starting to think Jae is actually joking half of the time he's growling about something. And that's... weirdly endearing.

Jaida covered her mouth, her chuckles brimming with ridicule. “It's utterly laughable. Truly, this is the biggest joke I've heard in years. The less a person knows, the bolder the lies they spin," Jett sneered.

“Umm… Miss Gray, you know. I was only j…joking when I said that. I didn't mean it at all.” “Jokes,” Eve laughed. “How about I joke with your family’s business too?” “Wh..what?” “I like jokes and you like jokes too. That's perfect, right?”

Pitty that Henrietta isn’t. “Yeah, ten.” I smile looking at my feet. You want a joke, I’ll give you one, “You know what happened back then when I was in my high school time? The mean boys kept calling me a woman gorilla because of my big feet. I once went back to the forest to find my actual family.” Unexpectedly, just as I say, my lame joke claims a soft chuckle from Jamie. Although it was short, he laughed.

He was always making stupid jokes, even at the worst times. “That’s not funny,” I snapped. “There are people’s lives we are talking about, the pack members are counting on us and also the alpha, it’s only a matter of time until people start moving out of the pack,” I said, although I was also considering that in case things went sideways. “Sorry, sorry,” he apologized, raising his hands. “I was just trying to lighten the mood, you know, humor is a coping mechanism.” “Well, it’s not working,” I said, rolling my eyes.

“If he didn’t mean to, why would he even consider telling me?” Hailey was speechless. “I just wanted to tease you.” She instantly found this funny. "Now I understand why your mother was so surprised when you made a joke last time." "This man genuinely lacks the brain cells necessary for humor." He likely only cracks jokes when he's in a particularly good mood; he's that peculiar. Hailey's laughter was making Travis feel a bit embarrassed. Fortunately, his habit of maintaining a poker face prevented her from noticing.
