While he was eating his food inside Well Stacked Pizza, CJ thought about what Ryder told him. It was rather weird to tell his best friend that he was into his sister, and telling her about it would be rather difficult for him. Of all the years growing up with Lisa and developing a childish crush on her back then, CJ never thought he'd ever develop any feelings for her. He wondered if it would happen if Lisa would've never even came to San Fierro at all. So he decided to go right back to Lisa's place and tell her right away.

After finishing his meal, CJ hopped inside his vehicle and drove to Lisa's place. As he got there, he parked his car and walked to the house. He knocked on the door and waited ten seconds. The door swung open, and Lisa stood right there with her black purse with purple butterflies designed over it.

"Thank goodness you're here, Carl," she sighed. "I was just about to call you."

"Call me?" CJ asked. "For what?"

"I wanted to ask you if you wanted to take me to the bank real quick," Lisa explained. "Can you do that for me, Carl? Please?"

CJ thought about it. Now that he was here, there was no turning back. So he thought that maybe he could just tell Lisa on the way.

"Uh...sure, girl," CJ responded, sounding slightly nervous.

"Thanks, Carl," Lisa said, hugging him, causing CJ to blush even harder. He even smelled the strawberry scent on her too. "Now come on! We have to make this quick!"

So CJ guided Lisa to the car, but turned when Lisa went to her blue Stratum, which had a lot of purple butterflies designed on the bottom of each side.

"We have to take my car," Lisa told CJ. "I have to pay for my gas."

So CJ and Lisa hopped into the Stratum instead, and CJ backed up a bit and drove the car onto the road.

"Why you trying to get to the bank so fast?" CJ asked.

"Because I need to cash in my check so I can get my money to put gas in my car and buy some food in my house," Lisa replied. "You know how long those lines be at that bank every morning. I'm very sure you don't like being in that damn office for so long."

"Good point," CJ said.

"So do you know the closest bank out here in San Fierro?" Lisa asked.

"There's one over at Esplanade East," CJ replied. "But seriously, you need to calm down, girl. I understand that you stressing out at the moment, but all that stress isn't too good for you, Lees. Just try to calm down."

"You're right, Carl," Lisa agreed. "I just have this tendency to rush into things at times. I'll try to relax."

"Atta girl," CJ said. "I'll make it there as quickly as I can."

"Thank you so much, Carl," Lisa said. "You're very helpful."

"Anytime, girl," CJ said.

He felt his heart thumping hard. He was waiting for the right moment to tell Lisa his true feelings for her and was feeling quite nervous what her reaction would be. It was a rather risky decision he knew he had to make.

As CJ made his way to the bank in Esplanade East, he saw that the lines were relatively short. Lisa sighed in relief.

"Thank goodness," she said as CJ parked the car on the side. "Now you wait out here."

She hopped out of the car and ran to the front entrance. CJ stared at her big, round rump once again. He can feel his heart racing and a very stiff erection coming in once again. He was a bit nervous to finally tell Lisa his feelings for her. How would she react? Would she instantly reject him and disparage him for being a petty gangbanger who only wants to bust a nut? At this point, he wasn't sure what he was going to do.

After ten minutes, Lisa finally stepped out of the building and re-entered the vehicle.

"Got the money!" Lisa announced. "Next stop, the gas station!"

"I'm on it!" CJ announced.

He drove down the road and continued driving until he made it through Easter Basin and to the gas station up ahead.

"I'll pump in the gas for you, Lisa," CJ told her.

"Thanks, Carl," Lisa told him. She hopped out of the car and walked towards the store, her hips swaying back and forth. CJ couldn't help but stare at her rump, which elicited a stiff erection once again. He quickly snapped himself out of it, making sure he didn't go overboard.

After a few seconds, Lisa returned to the car.

"$15, Carl!" she announced. "That's how much I paid for it!"

So CJ took the nozzle off, twisted the gas cap off of the car, and stored the nozzle inside the fuel tank of the vehicle. After several seconds of pumping the gas, the tank was finally full, and CJ put the nozzle back into its place and stored the gas cap onto the vehicle. He hopped back inside the vehicle, in which the gas tank was now 100% full as soon as he started the engine.

"Where to next?" CJ asked.

"To the clothing store," Lisa told him. "I need some new clothes."

CJ began to blush. He was actually going to the clothing store with Lisa, feeling reluctantly eager to what she might buy. So he drove through down Esplanade East.

"So you need me to hold your bags for you after you through, girl?" he asked Lisa as he made a left turn uphill.

"Sure, Carl," Lisa replied as CJ made another left turn and drove down the street. "Just as long as you ain't digging inside them. You know exactly what you guys want to do."

"Come on, Lisa," CJ protested. "You know I ain't like that."

"That's what guys like you always say," Lisa told him. "But y'all will just do the dirty right behind us women's back, thinking y'all slick. But I know a dirty ass male when I see one. Don't even think about it!"

"Okay, girl, okay," CJ said as he finally made it to Financial street, where Zip was right across the street. "I won't get any ideas, I swear."

"Um-hmm," Lisa replied.

As CJ parked the car in front of Zip, he and Lisa hopped out of the car and walked inside.

"Now I'm gonna purchase some shirts, pants, and lingerie," Lisa told CJ. "I'll be in the dressing room trying on some of the clothing. So just wait out here until I make my decision."

Lisa walked away, and CJ took a furtive look at her large, round backside as she walked to pick up some clothing. He felt his crotch stiffening and bit his lip to keep from saying anything.

It took around ten minutes. Lisa had purchased a few trousers, shirts, and underclothes, and she went inside the dressing room to try out different clothing. So after walking out of the changing room, Lisa walked to the front counter to purchase the clothing. She was given four bags to hold her clothing and walked to the exit, where CJ was waiting for her.

"You need me to carry those for you, girl?" CJ asked Lisa.

"Sure, Carl," Lisa said, handing CJ two bags. "I do need the extra muscle to carry all these bags to the car. Thanks for the assistance."

"No problem, Lisa," CJ replied, and he and Lisa walked out of the store and stored the bags into the car. The two hopped inside the car, and CJ started the engine and made a right turn uphill.

"Now I have to go to the supermarket," Lisa told CJ. "Can you drive me there, Carl?"

"Sure, Lisa," CJ said, his face becoming bright red.

To keep Lisa from noticing, he continued drove straight up and made a left turn to Juniper Hill, where he made it to the Supa Save market. He parked his vehicle in front of the place, and he and Lisa hopped out of the car and walked into the supermarket. Lisa grabbed a shopping cart and walked over to the aisles, with CJ walking beside her. They picked up a variety of food one by one and tossed them all in the shopping cart.

After around twenty minutes of shopping, the two finally walked over to the checkout center to pay for the food. CJ then helped Lisa carry the grocery bags to the vehicle, only to discover that a couple of hookers, one scrawny African American woman wearing a red stocking cap on her head and one Caucasian plump blonde, dressed in skimpy clothing by Lisa's vehicle.

"May I help y'all?" Lisa asked the women.

"Yeah," the woman wearing a stocking cap on her head replied. "We taking this car. We need it for our pimp."

"Hate to break it to ya, ladies," CJ told the women, "but your pimp won't be seeing you anymore. He's taken a permanent vacation from life."

"This a free country," the plump woman with very short blonde hair told them. "And we still taking this car."

"You are not touching my vehicle," Lisa told them. "So you better back off if you know what's good for you!"

"Screw you, bitch!" the thin woman told Lisa. "You ain't scaring nobody!"

This caused Lisa to set her bags onto the ground. "What the fuck did you just call me?" she answered furiously.

"You heard me, bitch!" the thin woman said, getting into Lisa's face, standing about six inches taller. She gave Lisa a hard shove onto the ground, and both the women laughed.

"Look at that bitch fall on her fat ass!" the thin woman sneered. "I'm surprised she didn't bounce right back up!"

This made Lisa furious. She angrily climbed back onto her feet and turned to CJ. "Here, Carl," she told him as she took off her earrings and bracelet and placed them onto the palm of CJ's hands. "I'm about to teach these bitches a hard, painful lesson of respect!"

"Yeah, go get them, Lisa," CJ rooted.

Lisa turned to the thin woman and gave her a really hard punch in the nose. CJ had grown up with Lisa knowing that she had spent most of her young life fighting whenever the situation called for it, and she had a powerful punch too, just as painful as one thrown by a man. The thin woman was now lying on the ground sobbing while holding her nose in pain.

"Who you calling a motherfucking bitch, huh?!" Lisa demanded the sobbing woman. "I'll sock you so hard I'll let people see how your mind got blown!"

The fat woman then charged at Lisa and started swinging on her. But Lisa was too quick. She dodged from the other woman's attack and pounced on her, throwing a series of punched into her face. By the time Lisa had finished beaten her to a pulp, the woman was now breathing slowly with two purple eyes and a bloody nose while her friend still lay on the floor sobbing.

"Maybe you bitches would think twice before you get physical with this 'hood gal!" Lisa demanded, putting a hand on her hip.

CJ and Lisa then stored them inside the trunk. Just then, they heard police sirens.

"Ah shit!" CJ shouted. "The cops!"

"Terrific!" Lisa shouted sardonically. "What now?!"

"Hang on, Lisa!" CJ said. "I know a nearby Paint 'n' Spray shop around here."

So after loading up the trunk with the groceries, CJ and Lisa hopped inside the vehicle and CJ started the engine. He drove through the road and made his way to the Paint 'n' Spray, where he narrowly avoided the police and drove out of the shop to drive back onto the road.

"I don't understand why the cops started chasing us!" Lisa wondered. "All I did was defend myself from a couple of sluts!"

"It wasn't your fault, Lisa," CJ said as he drove through Downtown. "The cops always want to harass people regardless of whether or not they did anything. They just enjoy their job on an extreme extent. You were completely in the right."

"You're right, Carl," Lisa agreed. "I just hope I don't have to deal with this bullshit ever again. I ain't going to jail for some petty ass reason."

CJ made it back over to Lisa's house. He exited the car and opened the front door. He ran back to the video and opened the trunk. Lisa came to his side to help him out. They each grabbed a bag one by one and carried each of them inside Lisa's kitchen.

After taking the last bag, CJ sat it onto the table and took a deep breath.

"Damn, girl!" CJ panted. "That's a lot of bags!"

"Hey, I need my home replete with as much food as it lasts for me," Lisa replied.

"Well maybe I can help put up the food for you," CJ said as he grabbed one of the bags, his hand trembling in trepidation.

Lisa noticed this right away. "Seriously, Carl," she told him, "is there something wrong?"

"No," CJ responded, his voice sounding slightly trembling.

Lisa then removed the bag out of CJ's hand and set it on the counter. She then stared at him suspiciously.

"Okay, Carl," she started to say, "I want to know what's wrong with you right now."

"I told you, Lees," CJ protested, "nothing is wrong."

"Bullshit," Lisa blurted. "Every time I see you, you're always sweating, you're feeling hot, your voice keeps changing tones, and now your hand is trembling. And you do all of this around me. Carl, are you afraid of me?"

"No!" CJ cried. "I am not afraid of you. I swear, girl."

"Well then why do you keep acting nervous when you're around me?" Lisa asked with a worried expression on her face. "I don't understand it. I want to know."

As CJ looked at Lisa's worried expression, he knew this was the right time to go on and tell her about how he felt about her.

"Okay, Lisa," CJ said, grabbing Lisa by the wrist. "Come with me."

He brought Lisa into the living room and the two took a seat on the sofa.

Lisa stared at CJ eagerly. "Okay, Carl" Lisa stated. "Now can you please explain to me what is your deal?"

"Okay listen," CJ started to explain, "I know this is gonna sound strange to you, and you probably might reject my offer, but...but..."

"But...?" Lisa said, trying to get CJ to finish his sentence.

CJ took a deep breath. "Ever since you first came out here, I seemed to have different feelings for you," he told her. "See when we grew up in the same hood, you were just the typical relative of my homie from childhood, and when I was younger, I never really thought that much about you. But then you came back as a beautiful grown woman and I was just stunned by how much you've grown."

"Okay, Carl, I think you should just get on with it and tell me what it is you're trying to tell me," Lisa demanded impatiently.

CJ took a deep breath. He could feel his heart pumping rapidly, as if it was telling him to spit it out already. He knew he had no other choice but to tell Lisa the truth.

"I think I have developed a crush on you," he finally told Lisa.

Lisa's big brown eyes widened in surprise. "Excuse me?" she asked as if she hasn't heard CJ correctly.

"It's why I felt nervous when you came around," CJ told her. "I was trying to keep myself from developing any feelings for you because I felt you wouldn't want to be with a gangster like me. Plus I wasn't sure if I would fall for a girl that grew up around me since childhood."

"So you were crushing on me all this time?" Lisa asked.

"Yeah," CJ answered. "Actually, I been crushing on you since I was a kid. I just kept it all a secret from you and everyone else, to be honest. I bet you'll just reject me now, but I understand."

"No, I won't reject you," Lisa told him. "I'm just shocked. I mean I never expected you to have a crush on me. Has Lance been teasing you about this?"

"No," CJ said. "I actually told him about this. He told me he was okay with it."

"Tell the truth, Carl," Lisa demanded, standing up on her feet. "Is Lance still bothering you?"

"Naw, he ain't," CJ protested.

"Okay," Lisa replied. "And don't worry about being on that gangster shit. You seem to have grown out of that shit and no longer have any of that hood mentality. You've really grown into a mature, pragmatic, open-minded man, Carl. And for that, you seem like someone I wouldn't mind having as a lover."

"So you like me back?!" CJ asked excitedly.

"It depends," Lisa replied. "I mean, we can't become significant others right away. In the words of Mariah, it takes time. So when we start spending more time with each other, I wouldn't mind being your lover."

This caused CJ to blush the hardest he ever did. "So I'll see you later then, Lees," he said, backing up out the living room.

"Sure, Carl," Lisa replied, waving at him. "See you soon."

CJ waved back and headed out of the front door. He hopped inside his car, started the engine, and drove on the road. He took a relieving sigh. He was glad he finally let out his feelings for Lisa and no longer felt nervous. This gave him an opportunity to head back to his apartment to think about this.
