NAPAKARAMING sikreto ng reel and real life couple na sina James Reid at Nadine Lustre ang bumandera sa kauna-unahang libro ng magdyowa titled “Team Real”.
Meron itong 120 pages kung saan mababasa ang kanilang love story, ilang detalye tungkol sa kanilang personal na buhay, ang kanilang mga pangarap at napakarami pang untold stories na ngayon lang malalaman ng kanilang mga tagasuporta.
Bukod diyan, siguradong matutuwa ang mga JaDine fans dahil napakarami ring sexy and hot photos ng magka-loveteam, kabilang na riyan ang pinag-uusapang topless shot ni James habang nasa swimming pool. Isa raw sa favorite parts ng binata sa kanilang bahay ay ang kanilang pool.
“I’ve always had a pool in my house…I’ve learned to swim when I was 3 years old. We’re also extending this one so we can do long laps. It’s going to be 20 meters long,” ang sabi ni James na nakasulat sa libro na mabibili na ngayon sa mga bookstores. May nagtanong sa hunk actor sa ginanap na presscon ng “Team Real” kung na-try na ba niyang mag-swimming nang hubo’t hubad, natawa muna ang binata sabay sabing, “If I did, I don’t remember!”
Isa rin sa naging highlight ng presscon para sa unang libro ng JaDine ay ang pag-amin ni Nadine na matagal na niyang type si James. Noong ginagawa nila ang music video ng kanilang duet na “Bahala Na” (August 2014) ay naramdaman na raw ng dalaga ang kakaibang “feelings” for James.
“After that music video shoot, I don’t know if he remembers this, I don’t think he does, something sweet happened in the van,” ang pagbabahagi ni Nadine sa kanilang libro. Dugtong pa niya, “On our way home from our shooting in Laiya, Batangas, I fell asleep, and he carefully reclined my seat. Na-feel ko kasi nagising ako nang konti, e. Then for some weird reason, I hugged him.
“Basta it just happened. Alam mo yun? He just let me, and I fell asleep hugging him,” chika pa ng dalaga. Nagulat naman si James sa pag-amin ng kanyang girlfriend, “Actually, nagulat ako dun, kasi I have always asked Nadine, ‘You had a crush on me before, right?’ She was like, ‘No! Never!’
“And I was like, ‘I don’t believe you.’ But she kept on saying, ‘I never ever had a crush on you. Never, ever, ever!’ And then she put it on the book. So I was shocked. I was surprised. And I was right,” ani James. For her part, inamin ni Nadine na hirap na hirap siyang pigilan ang kanyang feelings para kay James, “Mahirap kasi yung ganu’n, e. Kung anong nararamdaman ko, nilalabas ko lang. Mahirap magpigil, e. Mas obvious po kapag nagpipigil ako. Promise.”
Kung matatandaan nagkaroon din ng matinding away sina James at Nadine nang um-attend sila sa premiere night ng pelikulang “Wang Fam”, ito’y dahil sa pagdating ng late ni Nadine sa event. Pero nagsilbi raw itong matinding test sa kanilang relasyon. “Love works in mysterious ways. At the start, I never would have imagined that this would happen. Pero that’s just how love works. You don’t get to choose real love. It just happens,” reaksiyon ni James.
