Party Girl - Linda Ronstadt

You'll never be the guilty party will you Maybe someday we can go hiding from this world Maybe I'll never get over this change in style But I don't want to lock you up and say you're mine Don't want to lose you or say good-bye I'm the guilty party and I want my slice But I know you've got me in a grip-like vise They can't touch me now You say you don't mind We're so hard to find I could give you anything I would give you anything I can give you anything but time

“I’m sorry for wrecking your couch,” Mirage mumbled, resting her head on the counter as Anetra set a cup of coffee beside her. “I probably would’ve made it to the bathroom if it wasn’t for the heels.”

“Next time we’ll take them off in the uber,” Anetra chuckled. “I’ll carry you inside.”

She laughed sleepily, picking her head up just enough to take a sip from the mug next to her. “You’re a saint among women. I don’t know why you’re so good to me.” She glanced over at the couch, at the spot her girlfriend had scrubbed her puke out of. 

“Why wouldn’t I be?” she asked with a frown. 

There were a few beats of silence, Mirage quietly drinking her coffee as she decided on how honest and vulnerable she was willing to be. “I know what people say about me, Neech. And I know they’re not wrong.” She sighed as she set the now-empty mug down. “You don’t ever think you can do better than the party girl?”

Anetra immediately rushed to her side, pulling Mirage off the chair and into her arms. “Hey, hey, I don’t wanna hear you talk about yourself like that. Sure, you do like to party, and… yeah, you do go a little hard sometimes. But I knew what I signed up for. It just makes me sad that you don’t love yourself half as much as I love you.”

Mirage wordlessly melted into her arms, taking comfort in her embrace and trying to let what Anetra said sink in. “I just wish I had more to offer you, ‘cause I don’t know if I’m ready to fully change, you know? And I don’t wanna tie you to anything I can’t promise a follow-through on.”

“I know,” she assured and pressed a kiss to the top of her head. “I never wanted to change you, you’re my Miri no matter what. Whether you wanna keep going out or dial it back, we’ll make it work.”

“Even though I can give you anything but time?”

I had an idea yesterday while watching Sweet Home Alabama for a sashmirinetra au. No clue if this will be continued soon or what, but here's a little take on it!
