✨EXCERPT: ICE BLOCK by @elliekdrake releasing July 11th!
#PreOrderHere
“Here! Wait! Wait! I’m here! Don’t close the door. I’m here!” she shouts as she barrels onto the plane with a gasp of triumph. “Made it!”
Staring at the out of breath woman as she drags her carry-on behind her, I fidget against the pressure in my chest. She’s carrying a ridiculously large purse that barely stays on her shoulder and wearing a giant, floppy beach hat that hides most of her face. It dawns on me that the James they have been annoyingly paging was not a James or Jim or Jimmy.
It was Maggie James.
My brows raise and my pulse jumps. I crack my knuckles as the woman I’ve been dreaming about every night walks toward me.
“Glad you made it,” the flight attendant welcomes her. “You’re in 2A.”
“Sure, no prob—oh hell no,” she scoffs, her eyes wide and nostrils flaring in anger when she sees I’m seated in seat 2B. “I’m not sitting with…with…him.”
I furrow my eyebrows. “Come on, Maggie. Sit down.”
“No. Hell fucking no.”
“Ma’am, I’m sorry, but the flight is completely full. And we’re running behind, so we need to get you in your seat for takeoff.”
“Fine,” she snaps, tossing her giant bag into her window seat and struggling to place her roller bag in the overhead compartment. Maggie now stands in the aisle, glaring at me with her brows narrowed like I’m supposed to be doing something.
“What?”
“Are you going to get up so I can get in my seat? Or am I supposed to climb over your damn tree trunk legs?”
I stand, letting her pass as she grabs her gigantic purse with a huff and kicks it under the seat in front of her, finally collapsing in her seat.
“You know, Maggie, you could have just climbed over me,” I whisper, leaning into her space. “It’s not like you haven’t done that before.”
Her jaw clenches. “The only way I’ll ever climb you again is over your cold, lifeless body.”
