Island Boy

Chapter 2

Peyton
"I'm so excited!" I couldn't stop grinning and I was practically bouncing up and down like a rabbit.
"Calm down, little bit." Holly laughs ruffling my hair.
"I can't, I'm just ready to go, go, go."
Holly laughs again,"Well you have to wait for Papa to pick someone to go with you. It could take a while."
"He should just hurry up and stop being so picky about every little detail." I complain.
"Well of course he's going to be picky, he wants to make sure the person is going to guard his youngest son with their life."
"That won't be necessary. You make it seem like I don't know how to defend myself." I argue.
"That's not it and you know it, you-"
I cut him off," Don't carry the Alpha Gene, I know."
Our Papa comes up the stairs, interrupting our conversation.
"Okay, I've decided on someone."
"Finally." I mutter.
"Who?" My brother asks.
My Papa motions and a tall woman steps out. She has long black wavy hair, it was so black it looked kinda dark blue.  She was taller than my brother and had more muscle that me, she looked like some kind of goddess. On her arm was a tattoo signifying she was one of our royal guards.
"This is Serafina. The only woman on the island at the moment."
Serafina bows to us,"Princes."
"I've determined she is the best candidate for the job. She is strong, intelligent, and gay, so she will not come onto Peyton and try to take advantage of him."
My face turns red in embarrassment,"Papa!" I exclaim while Holly just laughs.
"What, it's a real possibility."
"Can we just go now?"
Papa nods," We're driving you in our boat."
"It takes less time to get to the mainland than taking the ferry." Holly says.
I grab my suitcase,"I'm ready."
We all make our way down the stairs, Serafina walking beside a little ways behind me and to the side.
"I can carry your bag for you prince Peyton?" She asks.
"No thank you, and please just call me Peyton."
"As you wish."
Once we get on our boat I'm practically rocking the thing with my excitement.
"Peyton, please stop before I throw u-" Holly leans over the side and barfs.
"Ew, that's disgusting." I crinkle my nose at him.
Daddy hands him a bucket as he gets aboard."Don't vomit in the water."
"I already get sick, Peyton just made it ten times worst with his excitement."
"I didn't know," I put my hands up in surrender."Maybe you should stay here? You'll only be sick the whole time anyways."
"Good point. I think I will then." Holly steps out of the boat. "Stay safe. I love you little bit. And you better call me."
I nod," I love you too."
Papa starts up the boat and my excitement builds again,"I've never been in a boat. This is so exciting!"
"That's right, we never let you go to the mainland with us because we were afraid something would happen to you. You were always so excited about going, even then." Mathew reminisces.
