~ the moments in between ~

- Ant-man -

As soon as she heard the door close behind her, Hope asked,  "That was close! You sure you don't remember what happened?" 

"Sorry, " Scott shook his head in reply.  "But if I do recall anything, I'll make sure you're the first one to know."

Hope glared down at her feet, avoiding contact with him, "Thanks."

His piercing blue eyes conveyed so many emotions - passion, affinity, sweetness - that she couldn't bare. Scott clutched her wrists and slowly lifted her chin up, so she faced him.

"We'll find her, Hope, " he offered a modest smile. "She'll be proud, of what you've become." 

She felt her heart beating rapidly against her rib cage, she felt a abrupt stream flourishing over her body, "Scott..."

"It's true," his face got closer to hers. "You are unbelievable."  

The silence filled the room, and the stillness over them. Everything frigid in mid-air, and they stood like that for a couple of milliseconds, glaring into each others eyes.

He leaned in and Hope stood there with her eyes open, for a split second and pacified her eyes shut moments later.  Anticipation descending, as his soft breath exhilarated her lips, growing passionate each time. She breathed in heavily when his lips touched hers, her whole body frozen by his touch.

She was grateful that he was still holding her, because when he suddenly parted his lips and gnawed softly onto her lips, her body trembled as her heart achingly stiffened out for a desperate craving, making her moan in his mouth.

And then the door flung open.

Hope's brain suddenly twitched. She pulled her lips away from Scott's , immediately looking towards the ground. 

She couldn't believe that Hank just caught her kissing Scott! 

"When did this happen?" he commanded

"Nothing's happening," she quickly mentioned, in embarrassment.

"Woah hold on..." Scott began, shooting a intriguing look at Hank. As if any father, would be content if he saw someone sticking their tongue down his daughter's throat. 

"Something's kinda happening..." 

SCOTT!!!  her mind went on fire.

"We'll if that's the case, shoot me again." 

"Yeah.. I don't believe it either , grabbing me and kissing me like that. I'm... a bit surprised myself" Scott said with a black expression.

"Well.... I have to get somewhere . I'll see you later Hank." he studied her eyes, "Really, Hope?"

"Scott?" Hank called him in a gravelly voice.

"Yup?" he answered back, trotting down the stairs towards the door so he could flee.

"You're full of shit"

"Oh yeah" he answered  shutting the door behind him.

She hated him. But realized, it was his nature. 

Which made her love him even more.
