Caius's Mate

Thirty Nine

It was Monday morning. It was dumping snow and we needed to go to the bank. Peter and I had decided to use lyft because we couldn't walk five miles in 19 degree weather. It had been very peaceful since Lillie was gone. Kyran and I had worked on all of my clothes sewing up all of them. 

We got into the car and I leaned on Peter. 

"It's pretty cold out today," the lady said. 

"Yeah," I chuckled. "We normally walk everywhere but it was too cold out today," I shrugged. 

"Yeah, Christmas is coming in a few days." 

"It is?" I looked shocked. I had completely lost track of days. 

"Yeah don't you know," she chuckled. 

"Actually no I don't really keep track of days," I shrugged. 

She looked down. "Oh... do you not celebrate?" 

"I used to but things changed," I whispered. 

She nodded dropping the subject. "You two together?" She asked curiously. 

I nodded. "Yes." 

"That's nice," she smiled. She pulled up in the parking lot. "Would you like me to wait?" 

"No I don't know how long it'll be thank you for letting us pay with cash I don't have a card yet which is what I'm here to get." I whispered. 

"Of course," she smiled. 

I nodded once at her and got out of the car. 

"Is it really only a few days till Christmas?" I asked looking at Peter. 

"I guess I had no idea. We don't keep track of days." he touched my back leading me inside. 

I smiled a bit and went up to the desk.  "Hi I called on Thursday about my mothers account. She is now deceased and I am to take over the account and her money. I need to make an account and transfer her money over to my new account. I got everything you told me I would need." I said. 

"Of Course can you tell me your name and I'll put you on the schedule there's three people in front of you." 

"Izzy Peirson," I told her. 

"Alright you can sit down in the waiting area your name will be called in when someone is available to set up your account." 

I nodded and smiled and went to sit down next to Peter. I rested on Peter's shoulder. "Thank you for coming with me." 

He nodded and smiled. "Of course," he said. 

I nodded and smiled at it. I played with his fingers for a while, he kissed my head. We didn't speak much. 

"Izzy Peirson." A male came out. 

"Want me to come?" Peter asked. 

"No I'm sure it won't take long," I told him and gave him a quick peck on his lips. 

He nodded and smiled. I stood up and headed over to him. "Hello," I said and took his hand shaking it. 

"Hello, My name is Emmanuel I will be helping you today."

I nodded and went back to a booth with him. "How can I help you?" he asked. 

"So my mom died and had money in her bank account. I called the other day and they said I can create a new one and you guys could close her account and put it all in my account. The only thing I don't have is my mom's ID. She died in Italy." I whispered. 

"I'm sorry about your mom," he said looking down pausing for a long moment. "Let's see what I can do. Do you have her account number?" he asked. I nodded and handed him a slip of paper with the account number. 

He typed it in. "There's 10,153.94$"

I nodded and looked down.  

"Can you transfer it?" 

"Yes," he sighed. 

I gave him my ID and Social Security number to prove him that I was me. 

"Thank you," he said. 

I nodded. "Alright it's done. Type in your 4 digit card number for the debit card. 

1975 

"Type it again" he said. 

I nodded. 

"I will be back with your card in a minute," he told me. 

I nodded. He stood and headed in the back. I played with my fingers putting everything in my wallet. He came back with the card. "Is there anything else I can do?" 

"Can I diposit money?" I asked. 

"Of course," he said. "How much." 

I sighed and handed him a large wad of cash. 

he nodded and headed back. "Thank you." I whispered. 

"Of course," He said. "Is there anything else?" 

"No you have a good day," I smiled shyly. 

"You too Izzy," he said. 

I stood and headed back out to Peter. "Done," I smiled at him. "I have about fifty on me and the rest is in the bank account," I smiled. 

"Good, good." he stood and came over to me. 

I looked down at the phone requesting another lyft to take us home. "That was easy," I smiled. 

"Yeah," He said rubbing my back gently. 

We went outside waiting as the car came pulling up. 

"I'll go to the store tomorrow and get what we need," I told him. 

"Want me to come?" he asked. 

"No I'll go alone," I told him. 

"You sure?" 

"Yes," I chuckled, "I can't have you following me around everywhere. I'll be fine at the store. Plus I need to get some feminine items I should be starting my period soon," I looked down shyly. 

He nodded blushing at it. 

"Told you," I laughed. 

"I'll go home and we will make a list," I told him. 

He nodded and held my hand. 

He played with my hair in the car on the way home. 

I looked shy as we walked in.  "I got the card. Can we sit down so we can all make a list on what I can get at the store. I'm going tomorrow," I told him. 

"Of course,"Daniel said and got everyone to come out. 

"What does everyone need?" I asked. 

"Cereal... protein bars, granola bars, water, milk, fruit snacks," 

"Eggs?" I asked. "Easy protein?" 

They nodded. 

"Any meat request?" I asked. 

"We can make hamburgers," Kyran said. 

I nodded. 

"Lots and lots of top roman and cup a noodles," Anne said. 

I nodded and chuckled writing it down. 

"Mac and Cheese?" I suggested. 

They nodded. 

"Not the best but hot dogs that's simple." 

They nodded. 

"That should be enough to pull us through for a week or so," I whispered. "I'll go tomorrow." 

"Thank you," they whispered. 

I nodded "Yeah," I smiled and leaned on Peter putting the list on the fridge that we had. 

Peter smiled putting his hand firmly on my sides. I blushed and giggled. "Love ya," I looked up at him cutely. 

He kissed my forehead. "Love you too darling," he smiled down at me charmingly.
