We headed downstairs with the whole entire family, I thought it was quite nice, not being recognized since they still hadn’t heard of me, that’s exactly why I was there: promoting the album.
"Ike, sweetie are you feeling any better?" I asked lifting Mackie up into his high chair.
"A little, the Tylenol helped a lot, I guess! Tamarah, since we can’t speak Dutch you have to order for us, okay?" He asked handing Avie the barbie doll she dropped.
"Well, I’ll just get you guys the best food here, okay? Trust me, it’s really good, and I haven’t been here in 2 years, so I have to get used to it too, y’know!" I said as I sat down in my seat between Avie and Diana.
"So Tamarah, where are you gonna take us?" Zac asked picking up a menu.
"Well, I’ll take you to meet my family. My aunt thinks you guys are all adorable. And ohh, we have to do a press conference at Planet Hollywood won’t we? We should just go spend a day in Amsterdam, I’ve never been here except for at the airport!" I explained non-stop.
They all looked at me in awe.
"What?" I asked, as the waiter walked towards the table. They all shook their heads and looked at the waiter opening their menus.
"Hoi, een kroket voor iedereen, alsjeblieft!" I asked. **AUTHORS NOTE: THIS MEANS "HI, I WOULD LIKE A KROKET FOR EVERYONE, PLEASE." A KROKET IS ONE OF THE BEST DUTCH JUNK FOODS EVER.**
"Oke, komt er zo aan, mevrouw!" The waiter replied.
**AUTHOR’S NOTE: THIS MEANS: "COMING RIGHT UP, MS."**
"What did you just say?" Avie asked me with a weird look. "I just ordered one of the best junk foods here, it’s the best!" I explained.
I told them more about Holland while waiting for the food to be served. The food was served and we all enjoyed it.
"Tamarah, you got some pretty damn good taste in foods!" Ike said taking a sip of his Pepsi.
"Haha, thanks," I laughed.
We headed back up to our hotel rooms. This time Amanda came and stayed in my room to do "girl talk" while Zac went into his brother’s room with Mackie on his back.
"Tamarah, can I ask you something?" Amanda started as soon as we unlocked the hotel room door.
"Sure, what is it?" I asked stepping into the room.
"How come, ever since I’ve been with you guys, you haven’t called your parents?" She asked.
"Uhm, well, don’t tell anyone this, but we got in a big fight when I left town to come to LA to record, they were very upset I was leaving, and I just haven’t talked to them since. They haven’t called my cell phone or anything. I talk to my friends though, so I’m sure they call my parents and let them know how I’m doing, and stuff," I explained while taking off my shoes.
"Ohhhh, I’m sorry to hear that. But anyway, how are you and Zac getting along?" She asked changing the subject.
"Just fine, I guess. Can’t wait to introduce him to everyone. You know, he’s a really sweet guy, and wacky, of course!!" I said turning the TV on to TMF.
**AUTHOR’S NOTE: TMF IS A DUTCH MTV, AND VERY COOL**
"Yeah he is. Hey, we should all go to Amsterdam tomorrow. What are you guys doing here anyway?"
"Well, we got a press conference at 6 tomorrow morning. Blugh, you know how much I’ll be yawning through that thing? But we should be done by noon, so yeah we should, just go sight seeing and stuff!"
"Let’s go tell the guys!" Amanda chanted and ran into Hanson’s room.
"Let’s go sight seeing tomorrow!" She chanted some more.
They all looked up from their magazines and the action figures Zac and Mackenzie were playing with.
"Yeah okay, we got a press conference at 6, so that means we, meaning Ike and Zac and Tamarah have to get up at 5, but we should be done by noon. Do you just wanna go as the four of us?" Tay asked.
"Yeah!! I heard they have a sex museum up here, I’m not going there with a four year old!!" I said which made Mackie look up from his story book.
"Okay, but that would mean Amanda would have to get up early too!" Zac said pointing his finger out at her.
"Aww, shit!" Amanda whined sitting on the bed beside Tay.
"Goodnight guys!" I said and went into my room while pulling Zac’s arm.
Back in our room we all went to sleep after getting into our PJ’s. This time me on the couch.
