The Bartender's Joke {Joker x OC}

1 { That One Club Night }

The sliding door opened and revealed Mya's apartment to herself and her friend, Alex. Alex had seen the apartment before, so she wasn't amazed like the first time she Mya's apartment. But, taking a breath in, Alex reveled in the sweet smell of sandalwood and vanilla (Mya loved that smell - that's why it was her favorite scented candle).

Alex also loved the smell - sweet, but not too sweet that it overwhelms you. "Still smells like you're being hugged by the nice lady that bakes cookies for all," sighed Alex.

"I know. The smell kind of reminds me of my Nana. She was the most lovable person and caretaker. And, damn, is she a good baker." Mya was looking up, daydreaming. It's been a while since she has seen her Nana. Every since Mya has moved to the city, she hasn't had the money to go back to her home town and back. She's hoping that maybe in a little while she'll have enough or plenty of money to travel there and back. To have a taste of her Nana's cookies. Maybe she'll send her a letter or call her later on in the week.

Alex and Mya both made their way to the kitchen. While Mya sat at the kitchen island on one of the bar stools, Alex proceeded to raid the kitchen for a drink and snack.

"So, when are you going to sign up for a dating app?" asked Alex.

Mya rolled her eyes. "Just jumping right into the deep end, are we?"

"Come on, Mya," insisted Alex. "You haven't dated or have a crush on a co-worker since I met you. And I met you the moment you came into this horrible, crime-filled city!"

"Well, in my defense, I just wanted to get away from that one dude that wouldn't stop staring at me. And when I tried to confront him, he started to sharpened his knife. Later, I started to get death threats."

Alex sighed annoyance. Turning towards Mya, she looked Mya dead in the eye.

"I swear, if you at least don't get laid before the beginning of the school year, I'm going to throw you off a bridge."

Mya expressed confusion. "Why the beginning of the school year? Neither of us are in school anymore."

"Well, my younger sister is going into high school and she is a bitch. And a whore."

"Wait, if you're sister is going into high school, how is she a whore? Isn't she like thirteen or fourteen?"

"Oh, no," said Alex shaking her head. "She got held back a few years, so now she's a seventeen-year-old freshmen."

"She's seventeen?!" asked a shocked Mya. Alex confirmed by nodding her head repeatedly. Walking to go sit next to Mya, however, when she was rounding the corner she stubbed her toe. Alex shouted in pain and Mya couldn't help herself from laughing her ass off. Mya even let out a few snorts here and there.

"Stop laughing at mehehehehe~," Alex began laughing at herself as well. Finally setting down her drink and snack on the kitchen island. She put her hands on the island and looked down her feet. She started faking crying from the bearable pain.

Mya looked like she was going to pee her pants, but resisted laughing harder than she already was. To her, when people get hurt or injure, laughing is always her default reaction. No matter how much she'll regret it later on. She's still apologizing to uncle for laughing when he fell down that flight of stairs. At least she'll never laugh at him again since he couldn't walk again after the accident. Mya thinks she might be a little insane for this special quirk of hers.

After the pain subsided for Alex, she slid her edibles across the island to in front of the spot she was going to sit in.

"The most painful things in the world: Number one - stubbing your toe."
