Jokes

“I’m not messing with you. You know, everything I do is … amazing.â€? James was clearly joking but I didn’t find it funny. “I’m kidding. You get annoyed easily and you can’t take a joke. What is wrong with you?â€? I got up slowly, glaring of course. “Kidding, again. You should really get that checked out.â€?

“Yeah, I’ll be sure to ask the doctor why I can’t take a joke. Now, I’m leaving; I need to find Trey.â€? I started to walk away but his words stopped me.

“Trey is busy. All you’ve got is me.â€?

I glared again. “What do I have to do with this? I don’t have anything to do with his debt or whatever.â€?

“I know, it’s just this is the way I thought of for him to pay me back. We were in some random state getting a deal and Trey got caught. I bailed him out of jail; it was a lot of money, so he’s owed me since.â€?

“So your way is to take his girlfriend?! You can’t just do that, you know?!â€?

“I’m not taking you per say; I’m just … getting to know you. Yeah, let’s go with that.â€? Pssh, let’s go with that, my ass.
