How to make bubbles shut up and mind his own business.

How do I get bubbles to shut up and mind his own business? "Bubbles," is Manley’s split-personality in the story as told in the book: How to train a wild puppy dog named, Manley. Bubbles is the type of character who will not stay out of the man’s business. So, those two is up to their shenanigans again and we all know that you want to eavesdrop on them, so come right on in and grab a seat, here now is an excerpt from chapter seven of the book: How to train a wild puppy dog named, Manley.   

If you know of a way how I can make bubbles shut up and mind his own business, leave a note in the comments section below. in the meantime though, let's get back to the series. 


Chapter SevenMister techno-man, there is something wrong here

"Are you operating on some closed level? like a private network or something?" she shot back at me, "your business cards and adverts are everywhere, with information on everything about you and what you do, and your profile is prominently featured on LinkedIn, and yes, that is where I got it. Satisfied?" 
"No, no, that's not how I roll, you've got the wrong guy here. I don't work like that." 
Pointing my nose back in the direction from whence I had come, I headed for the door. "I hope you will find the right person to get your system up and running again," I said this over my shoulder while I was leaving, "sorry I was not able to help you out here."
Me: Reaching for the doorknob, I turned around to say, "I know someone who..." hoops. 
I Was just in time to catch a glimpse of the spike heal as it zipped past my head, long before I'd even managed to duck out of the way. It crashed into the door and bounced back to the middle of the open space in front of the desk. 
Me: "Take very good care of yourself, miss." I pulled the door open and squeezed myself to get out.
Just then, her right hand went down, as the left leg heaved itself upward to meet up with the violent and ready-to-launch-another-attack right hand. I bet she was reaching for the other shoe.
Almost in sync with the click of the lock on the closing door, came the big bang, and then a thud and a rattle. I was right, I bet she will be picking up a pair of purple and black spike heel shoes off of the floor, somewhat damaged before clearing out of the office today.
Me: Waiting for the elevator to get out from there, while I was standing in the hallway, I ran my finger through my hair and wonder out loud, “what the hell just happened here? Had someone been flying over the Koo-Koo's nest of late? 
When, and how did I get to such a place as this? Where I am now scampering away from such a ready and willing, no-stress, no-frills-attached Sex Fest?” 
And then Bubbles spoke up again: “So what's preventing you from just turning around and going right back in there to finish off the job, the woman is still there you know, just as hot, wet and ready as before.”
(Bubbles is my split personality, you know the type, that smart-ass voice inside, who sometimes cracks wise-guy jokes just to piss me off, and then there are the odd moments when he actually talks sense into me.)
Me: Will you just shut the f**k up, I rebuked him, Bubbles that is, but if you or anyone else was looking on, you might have thought that I was just someone who was going off of the deep end talking to myself. 
"You don't know a rat's ass what you are talking about," I said, "don't you know that a woman scorned is the best one to stay the hell away from? And this one right here? She is the Chief of them all, everything about her spells danger"
Bubbles: “dangers are ever present in the high stakes games dude, which are the ones that you love to play most. Right? And frankly, they are the only ones which are worth your while playing, where the focus of your attention is, is what makes the difference, remember?”
Me: “I'm not afraid if that's what you are implying, it’s just that I haven't been thinking straight of late, not sure what has come over me lately.” 
“Libby? Perhaps?” Interjected Bubbles again. 

To be continued.
