Kaycie's POV

Kaycie POV

After leaving the boys downstairs talking, I shut the door to my room.  I am sure Todd is going to tell Brett.  I really wish the whole situation would just go away. I still have a lot of work to do in my room to get it in order.  I change into my pajamas and look at myself in the mirror.  I am 5’3” with dark sandy blonde hair and red highlights.  I have dark emerald green eyes with hazel specks in them.  I am nicely tanned, and I know I have a nice body with curves in the right places, according to my cousin Todd.  I still don't think that, though, thanks to him.  All I see is someone that needs to drop a few pounds.  I walk over to my bed and lie down.

I knew that Brett had two roommates, but I had no idea that they would be so handsome.  Felipe has dark brown hair and light brown eyes.  He looks to be 5’9” and obviously works out from what I could see with him wearing that form-fitting shirt. Darryn is freaking gorgeous.  He has to be 6’6” with wavy golden blonde hair that he keeps in a longer style.  He has the most beautiful pale ocean-blue eyes.  He definitely works out, considering he was shirtless when I walked up.  His eight-pack is out on full display with his perfect olive-colored skin. He looks like he just walked out of a GQ magazine.  He is definitely Italian, as his last name implies.  I know he and Brett have been best friends since kindergarten.

I wonder if his family is part of the mafia. My best friend’s family was part of the mafia, so I know how they treat their women.  I sigh because I know I have no chance with him.  I know these three went to school together, and I knew that Brett was a bad boy and kind of a player in high school.  So I can guess the other two are the same.  The last thing I need right now is another guy like the last one.  (He wasn’t in the mafia, but he was the gang leader's son.)  I lay down and wish I was good enough for him to be interested in me, but I know that this will not be the case.  Plus, I would just get hurt again and I don’t want Brett to lose a friend.  I fell asleep that night thinking of a pair of pale ocean-blue eyes.

I wake up the next morning and walk down the stairs to the kitchen.  Apparently, I am the first one awake, so I make some coffee.  I rummage through the fridge and find stuff to cook for breakfast.  I started making waffles, bacon, and some scrambled eggs.  I have just finished loading plates with all the food and placing everything on the kitchen table when I hear footsteps.  I turn around, expecting it to be Brett.  My eyes widen when I see Darryn standing there.  That’s when I realize I am in my pajamas and don’t have one of my hoodies to cover my body.  I stand there in a dark blue tank top and a pair of black pajama pants.  I know I need to get to my room and grab a hoodie, but Darryn is standing in my escape route.  He is standing in a pair of sweatpants hanging low on his hips.  His treasure trail is in plain view.  Damn, he is gorgeous!  I want to run my hands up and down that chest.  I hear someone else making their way down the stairs, and I am able to squeeze by him and make my way up the other set of stairs to my room for a hoodie.

I shut my door once I made it into my room and collapsed on my bed. Tears start to well up in my eyes.  He saw my body, which I am sure disgusted him.  My tears start to fall, and I quickly wipe them away.  I pull on my hoodie and head back downstairs to join the guys for breakfast.  I can’t look at Darryn, and I sit down by Todd.  I can feel Darryn looking at me, but I can’t bring myself to look at him and see the disgust in his eyes.  We finish breakfast and I go to help Todd pack his stuff.  He has to head back today.  I wish he could stay longer but I know he needs to get back to school and work. After we say goodbye to Todd I head up to my room.  I am not paying attention when I run into a hard body.  I almost fall back when two strong muscular arms grab my waist and keep me from landing on my ass.  I look up to see Darryn standing there.  Great, why is he the one that I keep running into and embarrassing myself in front of?  Karma must hate me.

“Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention.”  I apologize.

“No worries, I couldn’t let my Tesoro fall now could I.”  He tells me with a smile. 

I give him a small smile and quickly finish walking to my room.  I shut the door and slide down to the floor.  I don’t know why he affects me as he does.  I have never had a guy affect me like this.  I pick myself up off the floor and get some clothes to wear for the day.  I head towards my bathroom to wash away the horrific events of the morning.
