6 Six

"Why were you late Alice?" A voice I didn't recognize asked the person who had arrived later than the rest.

"Oh, okay." The voice said, Alice had clearly replied in a nonverbal way.

'What the hell...' I said to myself as the scent that I was seeking filled my nose.

Immediately upon catching the scent of Alice Cullen and hearing her name, I felt something bloom within me, something weird but I enjoyed the feeling far more than any feelings I had ever felt before.

In my first life, I had a few women so I was no newbie to relationships, feelings, and how they started so I could say with certainty that I was interested and drawn to Alice Cullen way more than I should be, I hadn't even heard her voice but it didn't stop me my feelings.

It should be mentioned that although I was drawn to the woman I didn't randomly fall in love with her, whatever I was feeling wasn't so outrageous that I would fall in love at the mere mention of the name Alice.

'Perhaps this is the mate bond.' I told myself, I felt it was the only feasible answer to the new feelings that were blooming within me, even now they were increasing, I was growing more and more interested in the presence of Alice Cullen.

'Another unexpected twist.' I said inwardly as I held in a smile, this was all unexpected and fun.

"How's your day been Eddy?" Emmett said to the man who had just sat down next to him, Edward Cullen.

"Fine," Edward replied nonchalantly.

With Edward taking the initiative to sit down so did everyone else but the most important thing to me was the person who decided to sit next to me, Alice Cullen, the girl whose scent I picked up before.

"Alright everyone, I'm sure you noticed that we have a new person here so allow me to introduce him." Bella said with a smile getting everyone's attention but I didn't fall for their act, I knew they had all been watching me intently since arriving here.

"This is Keanu Godfrey, the musician we all know and love." Bella said with a smile as everyone looked at me.

"Yo." I said with a smile, although most would find Bella's words questioning I didn't, many people knew of me since I was as she said, a musician.

"Nice to meet you Keanu, I'm Lynda Cullen." The voice I didn't recognize earlier said to me.

'Interesting.' I said internally as I continued listening.

"I'm Jasper Hale." Jasper said with a passive tone which was how you usually spoke to someone you didn't know.

"I'm Rosalie Hale." Rosalie said with a nice tone, which was still odd to me.

"I'm Edward Cullen." Edward said with an easygoing and welcoming tone which was just as odd as Rosalie's tone.

"And you already know about Emmett and I so that leaves the girl seated beside you, Alice Cullen." Bella said with the same smile as earlier.

"..." Alice didn't say anything but I could feel her looking at me with much more intensity than the others.

"Nice to meet you all." I said while having a hard time concentrating due to the scent Alice was permeating, it was attracting me far more than it did before since I was so close to her.

The Cullens and I greeted each other a bit more until I felt someone tap on my arm, the arm near Alice.

"Yes?" I replied to the poke while the other Cullens spoke to their mates although I could tell they were still paying attention to me.

"...Hi." Alice said breaking her silence and it was hard to put into words what her voice sounded like in my ears, it was beautiful but cold, a deadly combination for me, I loved women who were cold and distant from others, a weird type maybe but either that way that was my type.

"Hello." I replied with a smile as I wondered if she was feeling what I was feeling.

Alice fell silent after our small interaction but even so, I could still feel her eyes glued to me, and if I could also see I guarantee my eyes would be on her as well.

"Do you want to touch me?" Alice said causing me to pause as well as the other Cullens which caught Alice's attention causing her to clarify herself.

"I read that blind people will feel people's faces to help them remember who they are..." Alice said before Emmett and Edward laughed.

"And here I was thinking you had suddenly become daring." Emmett said before laughing some more as the other Cullens followed along.

"I suppose that'd help." I replied not caring about the Cullens who were still laughing.

Honestly, I didn't need to feel their faces to remember them but it did help and I didn't mind touching Alice, in fact, I was more inclined to do so than not to.

"Mhm." Alice hummed in response before grabbing both of my hands and placing them on her cheeks.

Alice's skin was cold but I enjoyed it, the cold was my home so if we combine that with my attraction toward her presence it just makes me like her more. As Alice grabbed my hands and placed them on her face I found myself in a position where I was facing her while touching her face lightly and by the end, I was only full of compliments I wanted to give the woman.

Alice in the movies was beautiful but the version of her I was touching felt perfect, her face was smooth and without even the smallest imperfection while her cold skin matched her temperament, and the other details were hard to put into words but I liked it all, every single detail.

"You're a beautiful woman." I said with a smile as I disconnected my hands from her face.

Now although I was mainly focused on Alice I was still paying attention to the Cullens and their response to my compliment to Alice was a smile, they all smiled as if this was within expectation. It was at this moment that I was certain Alice had some visions of me and the Cullens knew of them and didn't seem bothered by it.

"...Thank you." Alice replied after a few moments of silence.

"Of course, I'm sure you were told that a lot though huh?" I said in an attempt to keep the conversation going.

"No." Alice replied with her cold and passive tone which I liked.

"Really? I heard I was the only blind guy here." I said as I placed my hand on my chin with a thoughtful expression on my face.

"Heh, pretty smooth Mr.Godfrey, so who's next to get touched?" Emmett said with a joking tone as the other Cullens chuckled while waiting for my word.

"Heh, whoever wants to be next can be." I replied with a smile, Emmett loved to joke and I had plenty of jokes to give.

"I'll go." Rosalie said with a happy tone before she got up and sat in the empty seat beside me while the other Cullens watched.

Soon enough I had my hands on Rosalie's face and while doing so I quickly noticed it didn't feel as pleasant as Alice's face did, it was just a face, nothing special.

"Done?" Rosalie asked after I took my hands away from her face.

"Indeed." I replied.

"Ok, Bella c'mon." Rosalie said as she waved toward Bella to take her spot which she soon did.

"Do you do this with everyone?" Bella asked as my fingers traced her eyebrows lightly, none of the girls wore makeup so they didn't care that I was touching them but it made sense that they didn't, they didn't need makeup.

"Nope, but since I was offered then I might as well, it does make remembering people easier since I have an image in mind as I think of names." I replied truthfully, most people don't like getting their faces touched and that included me so I didn't ask to touch them.

'Although I don't need to create an image of the Cullens since I know what they look like from the movies.' I said to myself not worried about Edward being able to hear my thoughts, I knew he couldn't.

Soon enough almost all of the Cullens had taken their turns getting their faces touched by me until just now when I had taken my hands off of Emmett's face.

"Get a good feel brother?" Emmett said with a smile.

"Ah, I guess you could say that." I replied before continuing.

"Has anyone ever told you you're easy to draw?" I said as a grin appeared on my face while the other Cullens coughed before laughing heartily before Emmett himself followed along.

RING! RING! RING! RING!

The sound of the school bell interrupted the laughter of the Cullens while Alice who was still silent tapped my arm before speaking.

"Can I see your schedule? I can help you to your next class." Alice asked with a cold tone.

"Sure." I replied as I gave her the sheet of paper that was under my book but I was curious about something. Bella proved to me earlier when she read my schedule that she could read Braille, the school had taken special precautions for me so that all of my school stuff was in Braille so I was now curious if Alice could do the same as Bella did.

"Mr. Iverson." Alice said aloud proving to me she could read Braille.

"Can I see?" Lynda asked.

"Go for it." I replied, having the Cullens know about my school schedule wasn't a big deal at all, it was only the classes I would be attending, not my day-to-day life schedule, and I also wanted to know if it was only Alice and Bella who knew Braille or if it was all of the Cullens.

Soon enough my Schedule was passed around by the Cullens with my confirmation that it was okay and just as I suspected each and every one of the vampires present knew Braille. Now the Cullens were old vampires and I knew that so perhaps they learned Braille just because they had the time but I didn't believe that was the case, it was too convenient for them all to know Braille as well as treating me as they were, the Cullens seemed prepared.

'Alice definitely had a vision regarding me.' I said inwardly, my instincts were telling me this was the case and my instincts were never wrong.

"Hand?" Alice said as we stood up prepared to leave.

"Sure." I replied before Alice took my hand in hers and led me from the cafeteria.

'How fun.' I said inwardly as a smile appeared on my face, I was enjoying all of this a lot.
