Crystal Shoes Novels & Stories

He is standing in his doorway in a pair of shorts. “The rumors are true, Evie has returned,” I joke. “Hey, Evie,” Crystal comes from Cain’s room, wearing barely anything. Her hair a mess. She is a little young, maybe twenty, Cain should know better. “Hey, Crystal,” I wave at her. I try not to look judgmental, but I am judging the hell out of them right now. I look away. “So, I’m gonna go,” Crystal says to Cain. “Yeah, thanks for stopping by, see ya,” Cain nods at her and she scampers away.

she says excitedly. With Ryan and May still asleep, all the attention is on me—for now. I tear open the box and gasp. Inside are the most beautiful Prada heels I’ve ever seen—violet satin platforms, completely encrusted with crystals that shimmer iridescent in the sunlight. Just as I’m about to leap out of my seat to hug her, she hands me a second box. Inside is the matching handbag—same violet hue, same crystal finish. It’s small, but stunning.

She had put on some dark lipstick that made her lips looked a bit bigger than they actually were and it was nice. Hailey opened her door and walked in, a dress bag in hand. She was wearing a beautiful dress and a pair of beautiful shoes to go with it, and Chloe wondered if she wasn't overdressed. It was a tight silver sequin dress that stopped at her mid thigh and left her shoulders bare with the little spaghetti straps that Chloe thought might rip if anyone tried to tug on them. She was holding a black leather jacket she wanted to pair the dress with, and wore some black pumps to go with the dress. Although, she looked like she was overdressed, but she looked gorgeous all the same.

I take as many pictures as I can, warmth spreading through me. We make a stop at a Gucci store, and I go in there just for sightseeing. However, I decided to call Michael and tell him about a particular shoe that I like— a luxurious sling back heel made in a deep burgundy suede and decorated with crystal embellishments around the toes and heels. “Hmm, that's a pretty shoe, little flame.” He comments through the video call. He's in a shower, but he paused just to answer my call. Droplets of water fall down from his hair onto his shoulder.

With renewed enthusiasm she tore through the gold wrapping paper like a kid on Christmas morning and took off the lid of the white box. By the shocked look on her face I could tell my gift had achieved its purpose. “Carson . . .” she breathed, her mouth slightly open. Nestled inside, on crinkled wrapping paper was the pair of shoes that was the cause of her shock. It was just a regular pair of blue heels but it had a thick rainbow-colored crystal heel and added to the top of the toe strap and the ankle strap was bits of multi-colored feathers.

She only notices when she hears her name being called. "Miss Krystal Hugace?" Krystal, with her arms crossed on her chest, only tilts her head towards the woman talking to her. She perks up when she sees her wearing her creations; the berret, the top and bottom tweed clothes, block pumps that could rival even Fertace's pumps. Not that Krystal would tell anyone about the comment some models saying her pumps is much more comfortable to wear than the trending Fertace's pumps. "Yeah?" Krystal replies with a blink, a quering tone in her voice. "That's me."

I was so silly. After examining it for a while and seeing no harm done, I felt at ease. Placing the dress back in the box, I opened the next one. Inside this box was a pair of heels, about seven centimeters high. They were magnificent, looking as if they were draped in transparent crystals that had been meticulously polished and cut. A large crystal flower was the highlight of the shoes. Everything was encrusted with delicate, tiny crystals. Oh, my man. He was always so thoughtful.

Well let's just see. Bianca was wearing a dark green cowl neck dress that had a slit on the left side and her blonde hair is flat-ironed. Luna is wearing a pastel blue deep V-neck dress that accentuated her curves well. Finally Freya is Freya tonight. She's wearing a yellow sweetheart neckline dress and her hair is out in her natural curls and damn she looks sexy in that dress. And I can say yellow is her color. Damn she looks good in all colors. I'm wearing an off-shoulder burgundy dress with a deep long slit on one side and paired it off with black heels and decided on letting my hair out. It's how he likes it to be.

I asked on the phone. "Sir, they are supposed to land here from India by the day after tomorrow." Ryan replied. "Okay. Once they are-" My words were stuck in my throat when my eyes fell on Crystal who just walked out of our room. She wore a peach coloured dress that reached her ankles. It was a net draped over a linen cloth that ended on her mid-thigh. I raked my eyes from her head to toe. Hair beautifully styled, nude makeup and minimal accessories. No exaggeration, she looked angelic.
