Niall and I have already been in Tenerife for 10 days. The best 10 days we've had in a good while.

This vacation, apart from being so much fun, has been a nice reminder of how in love I am with this man. It's sickening. But in the best way. I feel like, if it was possible, my eyes would be heart-shaped every time I look at him.

Ew. Imagine Rachel knew I just said that to myself.

It's true though. Spending lockdown together, sharing a home for these last months, has just made all the feelings even deeper for me. I believe this trip has made us realize that it is the case for both of us.

We just click with each other, in every way. Living together is easy, fun, comfortable, every positive adjective I can think of.

I can't believe I'm worth such happiness. But I hope it lasts as long as possible.

Something that also has been great for us these days is being away from the English football press, and all the criticism and pressure that comes with it. We've barely been on any social media or kept up with anything going on outside our current little bubble. It has been a breath of fresh air that we both desperately needed.

The bad news is that we're leaving tomorrow. However, there's also good news. We're not going back to Liverpool yet. Instead, we're flying to Madrid first, to spend a couple of days there.

I'm so excited to see my parents again, and it's about time Niall meets them and gets to see my home city properly, not just the football stadium.

I can tell he's looking forward to it, but he's also nervous. He keeps telling me about how he's never taken the step of meeting someone's parents, mainly because I'm basically his first serious relationship.

It's also my first time bringing a man home, because I of course never brought Nate. It's not like he wanted to come anyway. So at least Nial and I are together in that aspect. It's a new step for both of us.

However, I think no one is as excited as my parents, after hearing so much about him, and seeing that I'm finally with someone that makes me happy. They've told me they can't wait to meet him in person, which I've used to reassure Niall as well.

He really wants to make a good impression, which I really appreciate, and I'm sure he will. That's what I keep telling him, but he's still nervous, which is understandable.

Today, even if it's our last day here in Tenerife, is no exception to us having a good one. We, right now, are getting ready to spend the morning on the beach.

I'm wearing a yellow bikini and a white, short beach dress. I'm in the bedroom, waiting for Niall to finish getting ready while I finish packing the beach bag.

Soon enough he came out of the bathroom, both of us then realizing we had unintentionally chosen to wear the same colors, once again. He was wearing a white t-shirt and a yellow swimsuit.
