I can hear them... Everyone of them. Even their deepest thoughts, deepest secrets.. I can hear their heartbeats, how their blood flow in their veins,how their pulse racing. I can hear them all, even without trying, even when I don't want to.
And I heard her -- her silent laughs, her silent scrutiny, her deepest thoughts, her undesired pleas, her silent.....
SCREAMS..........
And I intend myself to stop them. Not because they're pissing me off, but because, I love hearing her laugh... and laugh.. and laugh...
Then I realized, that I, Dai Jon Dupont, Prince of Kingdom of Belgium, has deeply, madly and secretly in love with her -- Zita Davenport - a geeky, silent, top student of thy university.
But then, I found out something that I am not prepared for. Because like everybody knows Zita as she is, she is the exact opposite.
Will things go as what I have planned? Or will everything changes as each facade flips off ?
