106 Third Girlfriend

Three months later, Howard put aside the completely eaten Light Core Fruit.

He had been given a small cavern with a bed that he and Monica and Reece had been sleeping in night after night. Though a lot of time had gone by, the training with Carter had only been getting harder. Seeing Monica looking out the window, Howard walked over to her and gently touched her shoulder.

"Good morning!" Howard said with a smile. "I feel like we haven't talked in forever."

"Howard, are you stronger than me now?" Monica turned around with tears falling down her eyes, they seemed like two voids completely devoid of light, her cheeks completely flush red. "Are you going to leave me? Is Reece the better girlfriend?"

"I like you more!" Howard reached forward and grabbed Monica's head before pulling her lips into the embrace of his own. "Mmmm, when I kiss her, I enjoy it, but it's not the same. You're Monica! The first girl to ever enter into my heart!"
