The Big Book Of Jayson *Jayson Tatum One Shots*

#1) For myself.

I was sitting in the multipurpose room of my dorm building catching up on some homework when I heard something that made my heart almost stop.

" Duke Freshman Jayson Tatum has declared for the NBA draft"

My head shot up from the report I was currently typing when I heard the sports anchor say that my boyfriend would be leaving. So I grabbed my phone and immediately went to his Instagram and there it was, a confirmation that Jay was, in fact,  going to be leaving. It's no secret that he wouldn't be staying after the season he had. I just wish that I would have heard it from him and not from sports center then seeing it confirmed on IG.

With tears in my eyes, I saved my paper before shutting down my laptop and leaving the multipurpose room. On my way out, I ran into a quite muscular body and I dropped my phone. All I had to see was the ashy kneecaps to know that this was the only person that I Didn't want to see at this moment.

He lifted my face up so that he could look me in the eyes. As soon as he saw the tears he tried to pull me into a hug, I pushed him away.

"Baby what's wrong?"

"When were you gonna tell me? "

"Tell you what? "

"That you entered the draft Jayson. That's what!!"

He dropped his head and sighed really loud.

"Can we not do this in the hallway? "

"Sure whatever. "

I walk away from him and we go down the hall to my dorm. As soon we enter the room, he enters my bedroom and sits on my bed and I sit at my desk.

His eyes somewhat look teary but whatever.

"When did you decide to enter the draft?"

He just stared at me with tears in his eyes. I know how much he hated to upset me.

"Answer my question Jay."

"I knew right after the ACC tournament that I wasn't coming back."

"....and so you didn't talk to me about this because.....???

"I didn't want to hurt you."

"Jayson, I would have been okay.... eventually,  if you would've just told me way before you told the media your decision. Jay that's why I'm so fucking upset. I thought we told each other everything!"

"Aaliyah, I was on my way to tell you. I promise you I was."

"That doesn't matter now! I found out and not from you! Jayson I knew you were leaving, so it wouldn't have shocked or upset me. I'm upset that I didn't hear it from you."

"You're right. I should've been the one to tell you. You shouldn't have had to find out through Sports Center."

"Bitch you confirmed it on Instagram before you told me so shut it up."

"Aaliyah I fucked up!  I'm sorry! I want you to be with me through it all! I should've told you after I told my mom. But I didn't and that was a huge mistake. Don't take your love away from me because of one stupid mistake."

I looked up at him and he had tears running down his face. I sat beside him on my bed and grabbed his hand and leaned my head on his shoulder.

"Jay, I'm not gonna break up with you over this. Trust me, we'll get over this and laugh about it years down the road. But baby, I just want to be included in your plans. I would like to know what your moves are. That's all I want.''

"You're right and I'm sorry. From now on, I'll talk to you about every decision that I have to make. Okay?"

I looked at him and smiled for the first time today.

"Okay."

"Do you forgive me?"

"Yes, I forgive you."

He kissed me and then layed back on my bed. I crawled up beside him and layed my head on his chest as we wrapped our arms around each other.

"I love yo' big headed ass"

"I love you ashy kneecapped ass too Jayson."

His hand started to subconsciously rub my back and soon, I fell asleep.
