GUEST POST
The Wish of Xmas Present Emoji Love
Dr. Malcolm Styles and Dr. Sky Ellis are the hero and heroine in The Perks of Higher Ed and The Wish of Xmas Present, the first two books in the Styles of Love contemporary romance trilogy. One of their relationship trademarks is their exchange of fun text messages and silly emojis. Malcolm started the trend, using both to get to know Sky and to test the romance waters between them.
He pulled his cell phone from his pants pocket and sent Sky an emoji with a pink bow on her head, bright-red heart-shaped lips pursed for a kiss, long curling lashes, sparkling blue eyes, and huge breasts. It wasn’t totally tasteless. The emoji did wear a pink bra to cover nonexistent nipples.
Sky, conservative but a closet prankster with a wicked sense of humor, is more than capable of matching Malcolm.
His phone dinged with a text message notification almost immediately. His lady’s feminism never disappointed, neither did her lack of romanticism.
You’re shameless, Dr. Styles. Her breasts are nearly as big as her head.
She ended her message with an orange President’s Day emoji of Donald Trump holding a cell phone and tweeting: #notfakenews #mydayoff.
President’s Day? It’s September. At least send me a Hispanic Heritage Month emoji.
When Christmas is upon them, Malcolm knows the right text message to send his Christmas bell.
The cell phone in her hand buzzed. Bringing the screen to life, Sky hit the message icon and read the text.
Your sleigh awaits. Meet me in the foyer.
Above Malcolm’s message was an image of a red-nosed reindeer emoji.
Contemporary romance is a great opportunity to include all kinds of popular culture into a novel. Texting and emojis are two fun inclusions to this holiday-themed novel.
Sky has compiled some of her favorite Christmas emojis for Malcolm she’d like to share. She kept her choices PG-13. If you want to know which emojis made it to Sky’s Naughty But Nice list, you’ll have to ask Malcolm.
What’s your favorite Christmas emoji?
