Pièce de résistance

The Reunion

Models are either born or made but Logan was something of a hybrid; he was both a born and made model.

For one, Logan had the face. In fact, a lot of people, friends or strangers alike had told him that he could be a model because he had the looks of a model. He could do high fashion couture modeling, cheesy commercial modeling or good old catalog modeling. He could do all that but there was a slight problem; Logan was considered short for the modeling industry and he was not ready. He had to be trained, he had to be taught how to perfect his craft and on top of that, he had his height issue to deal with. In other words, he had the style but not necessarily the substance, he had the face but not necessarily the skills so to speak.

Logan was never interested to be a model to begin with. He found the idea totally absurd. However, no one, absolutely no one had the slightest idea that Logan's kindness would eventually lead him into the world of modeling. Logan was adventurous although he was not one to display his adventurous nature explicitly. He took the awful experience he had on his very first photo shoot as some sort of a life and learning experience. He had no intention to do it again until his former agency, Rocque Models, contacted him and he met Kendall for the very first time. THE Kendall.

Logan had no idea who the gorgeous man was. All he knew was that a lot of people were obsessed with him while he remained oblivious to his existence. Nevertheless, Logan's attraction to Kendall threw him into the fast paced world of modeling unprepared. Ironically, the person who made him stay also caused him to bid farewell to modeling for a while. When Logan left, he did not leave with a heavy heart but it was the time spent in his hometown, Minnesota, that made him realize that he did in fact enjoy modeling.

It wouldn't be long before Kendall eventually came back into his life and Logan was modeling once again. But this time around, he was not doing it for anyone, he was doing it for himself. And he had the proof that he was serious about it.

To avoid any unnecessary suspicion and questions, Logan put on skin tone undergarments to cover up the love bruises he received from his dear Kendall the day before. He even took the initiative to cover up the hickey on his neck by applying some makeup on his neck. He didn't buy the makeup himself but they were a gift from his best friend in LA, prominent makeup and hair artist, Carlos Garcia. He wasn't quite sure why Carlos would send him such a gift at first but he understood now. This was the Logan now. The old Logan would probably panic in such a situation and had to rely on the people around him to make things right. But not anymore. Logan had grown both as a human and as a model.

'Logan! Been expecting you!' A cheerful voice greeted Logan as he stepped into the office. It was the voice of the regional director of Ford Models Paris, Geraldine.

'Hi, Geraldine! Came here as fast as I could.' Logan smiled.

'Actually, you're just in time. Now Logan, this client you are to meet specifically requested for you but he told us to keep his identity a secret from you. Don't worry, he's not a psycho on the loose or a wanted criminal you should be aware of, we know who he is, really talented designer but we have to respect the client's wish. But I can guarantee that you will know him when you see him. Here.' Geraldine handed Logan a piece of paper with an address on it. 'Go to this address. He's looking forward to meeting you. Good luck!'

'Wow...this is...new.' Logan chuckled as he took the paper from Geraldine.

'You bet it is.' Geraldine chortled. 'Here, take this. We just updated your portfolio with some of the test shots you've done. And don't forget, your comp card!' Geraldine handed Logan a black file containing his photos and a comp card.

'Okay, thank you Geraldine. I'll leave now and hopefully I'll bring back some good news. Bye.' Logan said and collected his model essentials from Geraldine.
