All Chapters of Wanting Professor Darwin : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

LUCIA I tried to remember why that name sounded so familiar and where I had heard it from, but my brain was so foggy that it was basically futile, and I had no choice but to give up.“It’s nice to meet you, Lucia.” Jeremy said in that rich, baritone voice of his, snapping me out of my reverie, and I would be lying if I said I didn’t like the way he said my name.“It’s nice to meet you too, Jeremy.” I answered with a smile. Jeremy. I had no idea why, but for some reason, I thought that the name suited him perfectly.Jeremy still held on to my hand, and his bright blue eyes, which were still intense on mine, made me nervous.“Would you like to talk and maybe have some drinks? I would like to know more about you.” My heart instantly did a flip in my chest. Usually, I would say no to that. I was not the kind of person that would agree to hang out with a complete stranger, but maybe because I was not in my right mind, or maybe it was because of the man standing in front of me, but I co

LUCIAThe few days that passed after the wedding, my thoughts wandered over and over to the stranger and the only thing that prevented me from losing my mind was the fact that I would be resuming my job soon.That thought alone was enough to keep me slightly grounded. Beth would have helped to distract me from thinking about him, but she was currently in Italy with her husband for their honeymoon.I missed her badly, but my life had to go on.Over the weekend, I managed to organize my stuff, and my apartment now looked livable . After going through the necessary procedures, I would need to begin my new job online, I was ready.On Monday morning, I alighted from the cab and stood in front of Crawford University with my heart pounding loudly in my chest.I was extremely excited about my new job, but at the same time, I was nervous, and I had no idea what to expect. I let out deep breaths, wiping my sweaty hands over my black wide-leg pants, before adjusting my pristine white shirt, wh

JEREMY I had no idea what real heartbreak felt like. Not till I met Lucia, and I wouldn’t lie. It hurt like hell. I had the first taste of heartbreak after she disappeared at the wedding when I first met her. I had low expectations when I attended that wedding. The plan was to perform and leave. The last thing I expected was to get swept off my feet by the most gorgeous woman I had ever laid eyes on in my life in the crowd. I never thought I would get to talk to her, but I did, and every minute I spent was magical. I could not resist her, and we ended up spending the night together. Imagine how devastated I was when I woke up the next morning, and she was gone. I only knew her first name and nothing else. There was no way I could find her again. I had no idea that no woman could make me feel as strongly as Lucia did. Without her, I was shit. But then, I got to school, and standing in front of me was the woman of my dreams, as my professor! I honestly didn’t care that

LUCIABeing Jeremy’s professor was much harder than I thought it would be, and I never even thought it would be easy in the first place.I thought I could just ignore him and move on with my life, but it turned out to be almost impossible. It was hard to take my eyes off him. Once he was in class, I always found it difficult to concentrate, and my eyes would keep wandering to him no matter how much I resisted. Jeremy was extremely handsome, and it didn’t just stop there. He was so sexy that at this point, it was hard to deny the fact that I was attracted to him. I fought so badly against the attraction because I knew it was wrong. It was forbidden. I couldn’t be with him. He was my student, and I was his professor.Unfortunately, because it was forbidden, it even made me want him more to the point where I was almost losing my mind.Jeremy did not make things any easier. Instead of staying far away from me like I hoped he would, he did everything to get my attention, which included

JEREMYAfter my argument with Lucia at the restaurant, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t upset, especially after she slapped me.Maybe I deserved it, though. I called her a coward after all, but I knew she was not. She seemed like a strong woman capable of handling herself. I just said that in the heat of the moment to hurt her the way she hurt me. She wanted me to stay away from her, and I decided that it was time I did what she wanted.Not because I was giving up on her, but because I was trying to test a theory. I was a hundred per cent sure that she was into me the same way I was into her.I could see it in her eyes. The eyes never lie.But Lucia was so stubborn and was incessant in pushing me away. So, I would back off like she wanted and just hope that it would make a change no matter how little.I knew it would be agonizing to stay away from her, but I was willing to do whatever it took if there was a small chance of making her mine. I was willing to take that chance. I beg
