Red Rimmed Glasses Novels & Stories

"The gold rims. You're sure." "Yes." He reached in and slid a photo across the table, the glossy paper cool under my fingers when I touched it. Crime scene photo. The tray. The glasses in the picture were short and wide. "These were found on the table. Are these the glasses you carried?" I stared at the photo, my chest getting tight. "No. Those ain't them. The ones I carried were taller. With gold rims."

I bet his chest is tatted, too. His hair is dark and slicked back. It’s longer than Romeo’s but not long enough to touch his shoulders; it just hovers at the back. It’s streaked with sliver and I love the look it gives him. There’s a small black hoop earring on one ear and a nose ring. It adds a rebellious touch to his otherwise composed, gentlemanly look. He has on gold-rimmed glasses that tie everything together. Xevier wolves have great eyesight. I doubt he needs them.

MAEVE POV Modest violet dress befit for the royal palace? Check. Eyes wiped dry and blotch-free? I leaned closer to the gilded standing mirror, taking a closer look at my eyes. Any sign of redness was gone, but a slight puffiness remained in my lids. Um… check? Have all of Xaden’s love bites been covered? My face flushed, hot and red, as I gazed at the faint patches of thick concealer scattered around my neck, jaw, and even going as low as my collarbone.

, he stated and sat down. James finger-walked away from his desk, and turned to Zee, "Next", he said a grin barely suppressed. Zee stood up, Rinzen hummed as he took them in, they were skinny and wore revealing clothes that for one, held a lacy quality to their clothes, sheer in a way but it was black, which both hid everything and put it on display. Slim-fit blazer and long slim fit trousers. Their skin was almost translucent white which accentuated their white hair, red lips, and teal-colored eyes.

I enter and find him seated by a working desk near the window, a detail I hadn't noticed before. The moonlight casts a soft glow, illuminating every feature of his handsome face as he focuses on his work. I watch as he adjusts his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and I can't help but notice how they add to his allure, even if I wish he didn’t. There's just something undeniably captivating about the way they frame his eyes, accentuating their intensity and adding a touch of sophistication to his appearance.

Or at least threaten to. I quickly turned on the heated seats and watched in shock and a little bit of awe as Ang moved the mirrors and her seat so that she was closer to the pedals and maybe just because God wanted to punish me and make me feel like a judgmental jackass - she pulled out a pair of black-rimmed glasses and gave me a shy look. "I um, have night blindness a bit but these help, I only use them when I drive, I think it's more of a security thing since my vision is normally perfect."

The usual cool, detached demeanor had been replaced with something warmer and more welcoming. Chen’s pale blue shirt shimmered subtly under the sunlight, giving off a faint sheen that made him look refreshingly natural. His new attire was complemented by a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and through the lenses, his eyes appeared more refined, lending him an air of sophistication. The golden rims caught the light, reflecting a unique shine that contrasted with the mysterious and alluring gaze in his eyes. Behind those glasses, there was an occasional flicker of secrecy, as if he were always hiding some unfathomable secret.

Her make-up was done impeccably, including a shade of red lipstick that he had never seen on her, and more eye-liner than she normally wore. And perched on her nose was a pair of over-sized "secretary glasses" that made her look studious and very sexy, at the same time. Since Crystal didn't wear glasses or contacts, it was one of the things that threw him off, at first. The other thing was her hair.

So, I brush it off and keep digging for the perfect outfit. Afterward, I take the scarlet dress out of my closet, holding it up for inspection. The deep V-neck plunges lower than expected, and the back is crisscrossed with delicate straps. A small slit runs up the middle of my thigh, adding just the right touch of allure. Even with other options in mind, I know this exquisite silk dress is the one. And damn it, I almost forgot. To complete the look, I need my contact lenses. They match my natural brown eyes but have a subtle grayish tint. My vision is terrible without them, forcing me to wear either glasses or contacts just to function. Classic nerd dilemma.

to me. I still felt uneasy that night, so I decided to drive home. After I parked the car in the underground garage, I heaved a sigh of relief. Surely Lyra wouldn't be able to drive my car away now. That night, before I went to bed, I received a call from the hospital. "Miss Willow, your eye exam results are in." My eyes had been hurting and blurry for the past few days, so I went for a checkup.
