Married to The Fame

Chapter 19

Mrs. Porter's POV:

Nicole's at work and the kid are asleep. I have some alone time so I turn on the TV.

Just as I sat on the couch, my phone rang. The callee ID took me by surprise.

"Hello?" I answered skeptically.

"Hey lil sis'!" Sonya's voice rang into my ears.

"What's going on?"

"Well, I'm just calling to say I'm coming for a visit."

"Oh my god, really? Where are you?" The doorbell echoed through the house. "Of course, you're already here."

"Open the door!" We both hung up and I ran downstairs to see my sister.

As I opened the door, she flew into my arms for a bear hug.

"Hey there! How are you, D?"

"I'm great. Very happy to see you."

"Happy to see you too. But I'm here to see my nephews and the newest member of your family." She grinned like widely.

"Unfortunately, they're all asleep right now. But they will be up in a couple of hours. Where are your kids?" I was actually surprised she came alone.

"I left them with Andy. He had to stay in Oregon for wok anyway, so he didn't mind me coming here for a few days, since I was on vacation."

We walked past the kitchen into the living room.

"Oh sure, do you need a place to stay?"

"No no, I got a reservation at the hotel nearby, I don't want to bother you and Nicole." She wiggled her eyebrows. "While we're on the subject, where is my sister-in-law?"

"She's working." I looked down, thinking about our communication lately.

"Something wrong? Is the Australian girl not good?"

"No, she's wonderful. I, on the other hand..."

"What, sis? What did you do?"

"I've been kind of distant lately. Since James was born actually. I spent some time just laying in my bed, depressed. And now, we just talk and play with our kids. No 'love time' at all."

"Please, just call it sex."

"Not just sex. I don't remember the last time we even kissed or cuddled." I knew it's my fault.

"That can't be good. How long?"

"Well, four months."

"Four months?! You need to get your act straight. Don't terrorize your wife for God's sake. I can't imagine how she must be feeling. Poor Nicole." She smacked my hand.

"I know, I'm an idiot."

"Yes, you are. Promise me you'll fix that." She lifted her finger up.

"Promise." We locked our pinkies just like when we were kids and smiled at each other.

"How are mom and dad?" I asked her.

"You know, old and crazy. Currently, they are considering some kind of a trip across France."

"Well, that's great for them. They must be bored out of their minds." We laughed and I thought about how Nicole and I are going to be when we get older. I bet we'll just eat and have sex all day.

We sat for an hour, talking about my movie, the kids, her husband and other things. Just laughing with my older sister felt great again.

Then, James started crying from upstairs.

"I guess your nephew is up."

"Yay!" Sonya jumped from her seat and chased me out of the room.
