Pièce de résistance

The Fashion Week

'Hello America! We meet again!' Logan exclaimed as he set foot on JFK in New York.

'I sure miss ya! Can I kiss the ground real quick?' Kendall quipped.

'I'm sorry, mister, but I don't think I know you.' Logan said, strolling his luggage.

'Ugh Logie, you're no fun!' Kendall groaned.

Logan shot Kendall the 'bitch please' look and stuck his tongue out at him. Kendall pushed Logan lightly in jest and they both laughed at their silly gestures. The boys decided to take the subway to their new home for the next one week at one of New York's most affluent neighborhood, the Upper East Side. Unlike their long-gone days as Rocque models, their respective agencies did not arrange transport or lodging of any sort for them so they were free to communicate with local New Yorkers on their choice of lodging. Because Logan had never been to New York before, Kendall decided that they should take the subway to experience the New Yorker lifestyle. Furthermore, Kendall had been to New York for work and leisure several times before so he was quite capable of showing Logan around the Big Apple.

In all honesty, although Geraldine had faith in Logan, she and also Logan himself were not quite sure of his chances of booking any designers besides Jefferson for New York Fashion Week. It was an all-or-nothing gamble when his showcard was sent out. However, it seemed like the riskier the bet, the handsomer the payout. When the news about Logan walking for Jefferson's sister lines as an exclusive in New York Fashion Week spread like wild fire in the industry, competing designers were not willing to retreat just yet. Even though some designers dismissed Logan's showcard when they saw the information about his height, he nevertheless caught the attention of eleven other designers who booked him immediately for their shows. They include his former client Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein – where he was previously an on hold model only during the last Paris Fashion Week – just to name a few. With twelve shows in tow, Logan broke his own record of booking only two designers two seasons ago by adding ten designers to his belt of achievement. With his new record, Logan was bound to have a crazy busy week in New York.

It should come as no surprise that Kendall on the other hand, booked more shows than Logan. In fact, he was booked to walk the catwalk for seventeen shows. However, the number was something of a setback in Kendall's runway career since he used to book more than that. Although the numbers had been reduced, Kendall did not let the figures get to him. If anything, he was more determined to prove to the American market that he was still very much the top male model at the moment.

The guys arrived two days before fashion week starts. As such, they could afford to spend some time exploring New York together. The apartment that they were putting up in for the week was located in the quieter, slightly secluded area of the Upper East Side but it was on purpose; knowing the madness of fashion week, they wanted to go back to peace and quiet once they were off the runway. On the first day, after settling down in their nice little apartment, they went on a sightseeing tour on the red double decker bus. The tour took up most of their day and by the end of the day, they stopped by artsy SoHo for some food, art appreciation and drinks at a bar before heading back to the apartment. The next day, the guys went free and easy, exploring New York on their own either by walking, taking cabs or subway rides. By the end of the second day, Logan had covered Central Park, the Museum of Modern Art, the Bronx zoo, Canal Street, Madison Avenue, Times Square and even managed to catch a show in Broadway. This was made possible by Kendall and his familiarity with New York City after countless visits.

Both Logan and Kendall were happy that they were able to spend some quality time together before they had to work their asses off for New York Fashion Week. Although they were always dead tired when they reached home, there was nothing to complain about nor was there any need to since they always end up in each others' arms. As long as they get to be together, that was the only thing that mattered to them in the world.
