So I forgot to add last time that I don't own Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not. I also got bored so decided to add it after three reviews.This is the third chapter of Almost Paradise. Someone asked via direct messaging if I was gonna include the song. Maybe, keep reading and find out. This is Ally's POV.

Are you gonna kiss me or not?

We end the song and look at each other. You think by using this line seven times in one song the one I wrote it about it would get the hint. What does he do instead? "What did you think, Jimmy?" I don't give a damn what Jimmy thinks of the song, Austin! Kiss me! Or not, it's cool! (Of course they think the same thing ;D)

I can't help but sigh which causes Jimmy and Austin to look at me. Jimmy isn't stupid since he figured out about my crush on Austin the first or second time he knew us. I mean it is kind of obvious. He also figured out about Trish's crush on Dez, which she refuses to admit even though all of us, but Dez, know. Jimmy raises his eyebrows which he does a lot when he's around us. I'm not sure who he is aiming it at, Austin or me. "I like it. It'll appeal to a large group of girls. I know it appeals to at least one," he says. He might as well say Ally Dawson. I see Austin's face go red, and I can feel mine become hotter. "Who do you have in mind for the female part?"

I give a sigh of relief in my mind, "I was thinking the girl from Thompson Square, Anna Kendrick, or-"

Austin cuts me off, "Why Anna Kendrick?"

"Have you seen Pitch Perfect?" He shakes his head, of course not. "Her voice is like magic. Anyways I was also thinking Ariana Grande." I catch the look on Austin's face, "Don't ask." He doesn't thankfully. "What about you, Austin?"

"None of them," he says simply and quickly.

"Well than who?" Jimmy asks.

He looks at me, "Ally." I think I'm about to chock. "Just for the album, then when at concerts it can just be the backup singers," He must have seen my face since he said it. "Is that okay?" I can't help but nod.

Jimmy smiles at me, and so does Austin, making it a really confidence booster. "We will make it as easy on you, Ally, as possible," Jimmy promises. "I'll send a car in a couple of days so be ready," He walks out the door and adds, "Both of you."

When he's out of sight, I hit Austin softly. It's more of a weird flirting technique. God, why did you make me so awkward? What did I do to you? "What was that for?!" I shrug. I'm tempted to answer in a smart aleck remark like you where there, duh, but then I think better not. "Oh," Maybe he's faster than he lets on, "I'm sorry, Ally. I just thought that it would be a good thing for you to perform on the album. I figured since you don't wanna sing on stage that the album would be the next best thing."

Damn if he wasn't so cute and sweet, I'd slap the crap out of him, but I don't. "That's really sweet, Austin."

The door of the practice room opens, "Dez, are you coming or not?" Trish says as she walks down the stairs.

Austin leans over and whispers in my ear making me giggle, "At least they aren't yelling." Yet, I add in my head. Dez dashes down the stairs and out the door like a flying ball of fire. Trish stops just before she leaves at the sight of Austin and me.

"Um, did something happen while we were up there?" She points between the two of us. We shake our heads. "Okay then. We'll be back we're off to go buy our Zalien tickets."

"Wait it took you-" I look at the time on my phone, "-twenty minutes to decide when to buy Zalien tickets?"

"Yeah. He wasn't listening to me. Silly Dez!" She says flicking her wrist and walking out the door, "Bye, Ally! Bye, Austin!" We roll our eyes and laugh.

I catch a little of the song playing on the radio, which I hadn't noticed was on before. "Turn it up, please, Austin." He turns it up, and I immediately begin to sing

Today is a winding road that's taking me to places that I didn't want to go
Whoa (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Today in the blink of an eye I'm holding on to something and I do not know why
I tried

I tried to read between the lines
I tried to look in your eyes
I want a simple explanation
For what I'm feeling inside
I gotta find a way out
Maybe there's a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder

Today is a winding road
Tell me where to start and tell me something I don't know
Whoa (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Today I'm on my own
I can't move a muscle and I can't pick up the phone
I don't know (I don't know, I don't know, I don't know)

And now I'm itching for the tall grass
And longing for the breeze
I need to step outside
Just to see if I can breathe
I gotta find a way out
Maybe theres a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain

Yeah I'm walking on a tightrope
I'm wrapped up in vines
I think we'll make it out
But you just gotta give me time
Strike me down with lightning
Let me feel you in my veins
I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain

Today is a winding road that's taking me to places that I didn't want to go
Whoa

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder, and I said
Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
Oh baby bring on the pain
And listen to the thunder

"Did I ever tell you how pretty you are?" Austin says.

(1) I do not own Thunder.

Yeah, cliffhanger. Don't yell at me? What do you think gonna happen. Don't forget to review. I think I'll just take five reviews for this one :D So yeah I love Pitch Perfect btw in case you couldn't figure that out.
