You Can't Joke About That Novels & Stories

Tristan was downing the smoothie into water bottle. The moment he saw me, he wore a toothful grin, showcasing his fang like teeth. "You should say sorry for the way you laughed, you know?" He stated, aching a brow and washing the blending. "Why?" I shrugged. "She knew it was a joke and nothing else." "Sometimes jokes get to us, you know and it's not exactly easy for us to open up that we were hurt." He explained. "The fact that she's your friend doesn't mean she'll be immune to your hurtful jokes."

“How come it’s empty?” “We don’t need spectators. During our sessions, no one will be allowed to enter.” He says as he falls into his stance. “Mm, sounds pretty ideal, for a lot of stuff.” I wink at him, but he simply cocks a brow. “Do you not know how to take a joke?” “Inappropriate ones by my student? No.” He says. So, with others, you’re ok to joke. For some reason, that just makes me feel a pang of jealousy.

He turned to look at Scarlett as he spoke. Scarlett was blushing from embarrassment. Zeke, on the other hand, looked like he was growing incredibly anxious. All of a sudden, I received a message from the man himself. "Did you see the video, Joanna? They're just messing around. It was supposed to be a joke. Please don't get mad, okay?" Zeke said in his text message. "I did. It's okay. It's just a joke. I won't get mad over it," I replied.

I finished my speech in a threatening tone. He hissed in disgust. “Shut up, Amber! You don't know anything,” he said nervously. “You have to consider that sooner or later this joke we are experiencing has to come to an end. Or do you intend for us to be stuck with each other like this forever? How can we get married if we don’t even love each other?”

Jadara thinks she is fucking funny. “Yes, you’re a comedian don’t give up your day job. I know what those metal things are and I know how to cross the damn street. Look, you guys, this was a bad idea. Can we do this another day?” I ask, becoming panicked as I look at all the people who are watching me suspiciously.

We stand there staring at each other. Me, frozen in horror. The four of them, thoroughly amused. My mouth opens and words just start tumbling out. "I don't toy with boys. I don't eat boys either. I really don't. I mean, toying with them and eating them, that would be mean. Just mean. Oh, no, no, no, no, nobody should ever do that." I wince. That came out so much worse. "I mean, I was joking. That was a joke. Ha ha, see? Funny, right?"

Andrew teased. Maisie chuckled. "Can't I joke around a little?" "I don't like these kinds of jokes. I've said it before, you'll never leave me in this lifetime." Maisie smiled helplessly. "Okay, I won't joke with you again next time."

I complained and Brian's eyes widened. "Jason!" "Engagements can be called off Brian, even marriages can be broken. The fact that she's engaged doesn't mean that she can't be taken." "That is a very wrong..." "I'm just joking!" I bursted into laughter. "That's a very inappropriate joke, especially in this situation," he commented with a very serious expression that made me laugh again. "Jason, can you stop playing here?" "After spending a lot of time with my children, I'm beginning to learn to create a joke from anything and everything."

"What are you doing?" "Moral support." "I can't pee with you staring at me." "Oh, please. You've killed people in front of me. Peeing is where you draw the line?" I glared, but she just grinned wider. "Fine," I muttered. "You asked for it." "Wait, seriously—" "Too late." "Oh my God, I was joking!" "Well, don't make jokes you can't handle." She wheezed, covering her face. "You're annoying."

KAYA I laughed. Not a small laugh, not a chuckle, I let out a full on deep laughter. “Let me know when you're done.” I still didn't stop then.. she couldn't be serious, she most definitely couldn't be serious. “You’re joking right? Go back to where to do what?! Please, if you're joking with me, stop it." “Who’s joking, Eve?! Why can't you be serious for once?! Not everything is a joke!”
