How to help a shopaholic (nanowrimo13)

Step 13

Give all her money to a charity organisation

I was happily enjoying my breakfast when Matty threw some - well a lot to be honest - papers onto the table right in front of me. I jumped in shock before giving him a death glare for interrupting my happy breakfast. He let out a chuckle before raising his hands in surrender "Take a chill pill! I am sorry if I was interrupting something, I just wanted to show you your next step." I raised an eye brow at this waiting for him to explain it a bit more. When he did not continue though I let out a long sigh and let my eyes wander down to the papers. The first one was called "Stephan Foundation" and I instantly knew what that meant "No way! There is no way! Did you understand me? N-o-w-a-y!!!" I wasn't going to give my money to a stupid charity organisation. He shook his head and at his trying to stop laughter from escaping his lips I could tell he knew I would have that reaction "Look, Sammy! Yesterday you did the same and admitted that it wasn't so bad! So why don't you do it once again? It is for a good thing and besides I don't make you spend any extra money! Just the money you would usually use for clothes shopping. In that way you can still spend it somehow! Come on, just look at all these amazing foundations! After that I am sure you will change your mind. Please?" I rolled my eyes at his annoying begging "If you love them so much, why don’t you spend money by yourself?" He answered without any kind of hesitation "In case you didn't notice yet I am not a rich Upper East Sider and just from Brooklyn so I could spend around twenty-five dollars but I bet that doesn't help them too much. If it makes you happy though and you will spend your money then I will do it though!" I gave in eventually and grabbed the different papers. Then I showed Matty to follow me upstairs into my living room where Ty and Josh were sleeping peacefully. We both sat down on each side of the desk and I spread the papers in front of us. Matty had also taken some brochures with him so he started putting them together with the right paper. I took out a pen and a few blank papers and also placed them next to the others. "Alright." I began looking up at Matty and folding my hands in front of me "I have got around five hundred dollars to spend every second day. That means - since I didn't spend any of it for already twelve and with today thirteen days - I can spend 3250 dollars in total. And, of course I am not that selfish so I will also spend 20000 dollars extra. But because 23250 isn't that much of a nice number what about if I add 1750 dollars more just to make it look nice? 25000 dollars would that be okay with you?" I waited for him to answer but just when he was about to open his mouth a thought popped into my head "Oh no! I forgot you wanted to spend twenty five dollars. That means I also have to spend 24975 dollars! That sounds nice, don't you think so." He laughed but didn't answer. Instead he nodded his head and pushed the papers with the brochures over to me. I let out a sigh before picking the first one up. 

The first three were about some kind of raising money to buy fabrics to make clothes by themselves or something like that and honestly it didn't sound that amazing or convincing. The fourth however caught my eye. It was about helping marine biologists saving the sea, rescuing dolphins and wales and everything else that could be in a relationship with that topic. I placed it on the left side - since the others were on the right side - and continued going through the rest of the papers. The next was about helping animal houses but even though I loved those help for animals I decided against it because I had just helped the house Ty and Josh were from. I placed it on the right and picked up the next. It was a help for catastrophe regions and looked like they did a great job. I decided to give it a chance and placed it on the left. That was how I continued my looking for the perfect charity organisation. Once I was done there were four on the left and around seven on the right. I smiled at my job but it soon faded when I realized I still had to pick one out of those four. Apart from the two I had already named there was one to help families - especially the kids - in Africa getting a better life and education. It was somewhat like a sponsored child but yet not the same. The last one helped pregnant poor mothers - not the stupid ones who didn't know about protection of course - so that they could offer their children a good life and were able to find a job by themselves. I proudly pushed the results over to Matty flashing him a smile. He gave me a suspicious look and started looking through the brochures. Once he was done he put them back down onto the table "Alright, good job. To be honest they were also my favorites! So because I already expected a situation like that I decided to arrange some meetings for us. In half an hour is the first, so let’s grab your bag, check book and let’s get going! You want to take Ty and Josh with us?" I gave that a thought before nodding "Better than them ruining our apartment." He nodded "I thought the same." Then he stopped and a smile appeared on his lips. "What?" I asked confused. He shrugged "Nothing, you just called that our apartment. You have got to be careful! You calling me your boyfriend yesterday and today calling this 'our' apartment... I am starting to believe you have those special feelings for me." He winked and I desperately tried to hide the fact, that I was blushing as hell "Oh please! Yesterday was just to save you from the eye raping of that girl and the apartment thing is just because we are living here together so yeah..." He pretended to understand yet that annoying smirk didn't vanish from his face.
