Gigi needs to stop pushing him away because he is younger and Vince needs to grab his woman and claim her.<br \/>\nThis story is a great age gap, friends to lovers, friends from childhood, etc story. Vince and Gigi have always had a powerful chemistry. Both wanted the other and did things to make the other jealous\/take notice but secretly pined for the other\u2026..ok so Vince quietly chased away any prospective dates for Gigi but who cares\u2026LOL<br \/>\nThis story is told as a little bit of a slow burn but once Vince and Gigi hit the sheets, the burn is met with gasoline and it\u2019s an explosion of dirty words and positions. Not enough Orbit gum people not close to enough!!!<br \/>\nVince has known he loved Gigi and was going to do anything and everything to prove to her he was her forever. Gigi had slowly grown her attraction for Vince but the fear of the age gap and how her friends would respond held her back.<br \/>\nOne night of passion changed everything and then 3 years later they are back to face down what happened and the walls she erected after their night together.<br \/>\nVince\u2026OMG he needs a medal for his ability to deal with Gigi and her walls. They were taller then the Nights Watch in Game of Thrones..dunno the reference I am sorry for you\u2026..He puts up with some much from his girl. He will not let her go and will do everything to let her know he is never leaving again. Gigi is a hot ass mess for this boy\u2026errrr\u2026.man who has stolen her heart and melted down each and every wall she has tried to put up.<br \/>\nWhen they finally realize they are not going anywhere and they are going forward some weird things start to happen and some weird vibes start to appear. Gigi and Vince have to deal with some trauma that could break them apart if they aren\u2019t able to deal with it.<br \/>\nI am going to say it but Vince might be my favorite of The Next Generation Kids. I love Meadow as my favorite girl, but Vince is the swoon worthiest male of them all I think. Seriously\u2026SWOON WORTHY!!!! But damn that mouth too!!! LOL Gigi is his Queenie in public and his little slut in private!!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25376 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/S\/amzn-author-media-prod\/bqb906ibgshggc00iiedntah8h._SX450_.jpg?resize=199%2C199&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"J.M.
