Glass Sneakers Novels & Stories

I twirled around, then stopped as the gown kept twirling before coming to a stop. “This is beautiful. How much does this cost?” I asked. She shrugged. “It’s a little over fifteen million.” “Fifteen million?” I raised a brow. “This thing I’m wearing costs fifteen million? As in dollars?” She nodded. “Yes, it’s the most expensive we have in our catalog. The shoes that you have there, the glass slippers, they cost around 1.7 million, I think.” “They cost a lot of money?” “They were made from the rarest glasses and also have diamonds coating their insides and outsides. And they have gold undertones. As well as your jewelries over there, which cost…”

I giggle. “It’s how rubies refract light. Some say it looks like they are alive.” I smile and walk over to put on my shoes. I would typically pair a dress like this with heels, but I’m not attempting them right now. I’m just thankful that I was able to find some great flat sandals covered in rhinestones. One of the straps is a little loose, but I won’t be walking around that much. “Amelie, are you and Celeste ready?” Gideon bond-links me.

Hearing this, Kane chuckled in a low voice, taking hold of Lani's hand. "So, you like me in glasses? Alright then." Kane opened a drawer nearby, took out a box of silver-rimmed glasses, put them on, and turned to look at Lani. This sudden action brought their eyes into contact, the proximity making Lani see Kane's long eyelashes and stern eyebrows. Indeed, Kane looked great in glasses. His eyes, hidden behind the silver-rimmed pair, seemed even more captivating. The square-shaped glasses also added a touch of seriousness and cold elegance to his mysterious and attractive face, making one unconsciously want to get closer.

She closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down, the car suddenly stopped. “And we’re here!” Selena said jumping out of the car. “Boys I have missed you.” “What the hell are those things?” Gage growled looking at the demon-looking mean dogs. “Demon dogs, you should know,” Selena said half smiling. “They are friendly.” She said petting them. “Come on Athena is waiting.” Jade walked closer to the demon dogs, they bowed to her and then wagged their tails waiting for her to touch them. Once she extended her hand to touch them they both licked her hands. “Good pups.” She said walking behind Selena.

She teased him then defensively he replied “Why would i try to impress someone who already has me at heart, someone who is in love with me but tries so hard to deny it” Then she diverted the conversation to something else seeing it was becoming cringe worthy “Nice kicks though, what are they called?” Calliope said as she pointed to Xandros gray and green sneakers “They’re called the Nike’s Jumpman Series! I could get you one though if you like it” He said then she replied “Why would i let you buy me anything when i have the money to get them for myself?” “Well! This is the limited editions, so it’s hard to get unless if you go through someone like me who has the connections, so you see that

“Alright. I’ll trust you.” “Good.” Once we finished eating, and paid, off to the boot store we went. It took Gina, and Naomi a bit to drag me out of there. I did get two more pairs though. I ended up with 3 pairs of sneakers as well. One was strictly for school, and the hospital once my residency began in the summer. The other two were for walking around. The dress shoes were the hardest because Gina kept pulling more for me every time I thought we were done. Finally I got 2 pairs of sandals.

His eyes zero in on my shoes and immediately widen in horror. “I will admit that I hate salads and appreciate you supporting and encouraging me to eat real food if you explain what the fuck is on your feet!” he exclaims, “To quote a certain Wakandan; WHAT ARE THOSE?!” he cries, gesturing dramatically to my shoes. I glance down at the shoes on my feet, “Don’t you go dissing my sandals,” I say defensively. I love these shoes. They’re open-toed sandals with a large white cushioned platform base, neon yellow detailing, extra padding under the heel and two translucent neon yellow buckles that strap over the top. I think they’re great.

I looked around the store which was filled with so many shoes leaving behind that man… The sales attendants all stood in formation as they greeted the boss respectfully… They also bow respectfully to me but I simply gave a curt nod before turning my attention to the cute pink sneakers I just found.. I walked towards the shelf without a second thought and picked up the sneakers but froze when I saw the price tag on it… What the hell? Are they trying to sell the statue of Liberty? An ordinary pair of sneakers cost $3000 bucks for real! I gently kept it back on the shelf and turned away.

The silk top, the star sapphire belly ring, and the super skintight jeans. WOW! She hadn't dressed this sexily in a long time, and she missed it. She checked outside and saw that it was going to be sunny and warm, so she picked out one of her favorite pair of warm weather shoes. They were black and had three-inch heels, with what looked like dozens of straps. They surrounded her tiny feet in black leather and set off her toes beautifully. She checked to make sure her ruby red toenails didn't have any chips, they didn't.

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.
