Chapter 32: Pair Programming

November 1978

I ate a quick lunch after Larry dropped me at home from the hospital visit. I was waiting for Beth to arrive for our usual Sunday ‘computer date’ and went to check with Dad to see if it was OK if Beth and I went out to dinner instead of eating at home. He was fine with it and said he’d drive us. I told him I’d let him know by mid-afternoon.

Beth arrived just past 1:00pm. Today we were going to hook up all the new equipment — expansion interface, floppy drive, and printer to the TRS-80 and a floppy drive to the Apple ][. Once we had those set up, we’d write the data entry program we needed for the computer dating program. The student council had agreed on the 25 questions. It came as no surprise that Beth’s suggestion to add a “sex on the first date” question didn’t make the cut!

While we were putting 32K of memory chips into the expansion interface, I asked Beth if she’d like to go to dinner and have ice cream instead of eating here.

“A date?”

“Yes. I might even find a way for some input and output, if you’re interested.”

“Very!” she giggled, “I had some good talks with Jennifer, by the way. I appreciate it.”

“Sure. Just make sure you aren’t taking the kinds of risks you did before.”

“I’m not. I’m not seeing anyone now. I’d like you to offer input and output a little more often, though,” she smirked.

That was a change for Beth; and a nice change from my perspective.

“I’ll see what I can do!”

I went to tell dad that we’d like to go to Wendy’s and then Graeter’s. We might go skating or bowling, but we weren’t sure. He’d take us at 5:00pm and come get us when we were done.

We got all the equipment working, and I sat down and wrote a data entry program that would store everything on a floppy disk. This was much easier than cassette because we could use random retrieval instead of sequential, not to mention that updating existing data was easy on floppy and extremely difficult on cassette.

Beth took over and started entering some test data because she could type a bit faster. I stood over her shoulder to watch and gave her a quick kiss. She smiled and kept typing. I put my hands on her shoulders, then slid my right hand down into her blouse and under her bra, grabbing her breast and tweaking her nipple.

“I like that,” she whispered, “you should do that more often.”

I kissed her neck and slid my other hand past the waist of her jeans and under her panties and down to her slit. My middle finger invaded her labia and probed for her entrance. She quickly got wet enough for my finger to enter up to the first knuckle while I cupped her crotch. She spread her legs to make access even easier.

“I really like that,” she whispered, “it certainly is better than just sitting here typing.”

I kept kissing her neck and her breathing was picking up. It appeared that between fondling her breast and her pussy I could bring her off. I wondered if I might be able to get her to cum by having her on top and playing with her clit and nipples. I tried something I had never done and sucked her earlobe into my mouth. She sighed and then moaned and shuddered. Success! I pulled my hand from her pants and licked my finger clean of her juices.

Beth was flushed and her breathing was accelerated. She never stopped typing and entering the sample data to test the program! That was impressive self-control and concentration.

“You can do that anytime I’m at the computer. Wow!”

“I think I know how you can cum from screwing.”

“Oh?”

“Yeah. I can show you later.”

“Your parents are here.”

“First of all, I just gave you an orgasm while they were here, but I have options most people do not!”

“Mysterious.”

“You’ll see.”

By 5:00pm we had most everything working the way we wanted and Dad took us to Wendy’s. I asked Beth what she wanted, and I got the orders ‘to go’ which confused her.

“Trust me, OK?”

I walked her to the apartment building, then up to the apartment. I opened it and let her in.

“What is this place?”

“It belongs to my boss. I have a key. He rarely uses it, so mostly I can use it.”

“Awesome!”

We sat at the dinette table and ate our Wendy’s burgers and fries. When we finished, I led Beth to the bathroom where I turned on the shower. We quickly stripped and climbed in. I went through my ritual of washing her hair and then her body. She did the same for me. We dried each other, and I led her to the bed. I turned down the blanket and sheets and we climbed in.

“Beth, let’s try it with you on top, OK?”

“I never did that before.”

“I think we can get you to orgasm while screwing.”

“OK!”

We lay next to each other, kissing and running our hands over each other’s body. She stroked my dick, and I probed her pussy with my fingers. When I was hard and she was wet, I turned on my back. I put on a condom and rubbed my fingers on it to lubricate it with her juices.

“Beth, just straddle me, then hold my dick and get it in you and just sit down.”

She quickly accomplished that task and I was encased in her warm tunnel.

“If you lean down so I can suck on your nipple, and at the same time you rub your clit and move your hips. I think we can make this work. Just move however feels good to you, OK?”

She tentatively moved her hips and began rubbing her clit with her finger. I pulled her down and sucked one of her nipples into my mouth, opening enough to take more of her breast and using my tongue to tease her nipple. Her movements changed slightly, as did her breathing. She began rubbing harder, and I began gently thrusting. I switched breasts and lavished my attention on the other one. She was getting close and started moving forward and back and using two fingers to pleasure herself.

I felt her pussy muscles contract and she let out a breath as she steeled her body and then groaned in orgasm.

“You did it!” she said.

“We did it!”

She was moving faster and began moving up and down on me. I could feel my orgasm building, but I also felt her building again. She had her fingers on either side of my rubber-encased dick as it went in and out and the heel of her hand on her nubbin. She began moving faster, up and down, and shuddered as her pussy spasmed, setting off my eruption. She continued grinding until both our orgasms finished. I held the rubber and tapped her hip to tell her to get off.

I removed the rubber, tossed it in the trash, and came back and got between her legs. I inserted two fingers into her sopping pussy and began stroking her. I licked and sucked on her clit as she bucked against me. She used her hands to shove my face into her as she moved her hips upwards and I felt her pussy clinch my fingers as she groaned into her third orgasm of the night.

I moved up to cuddle her.

“Wow Steve, I came twice while fucking. That was amazing.”

“So now you know. You need to be on top and you or the guy rub your clit and your nipples.”

“And that third one was nice, too! In fact, you gave me four today, and you only got one!”

“That’s fine, Beth. I aim to please!”

“And you do!”

We lay there for a few minutes and I said, “I have something else we can do together, and we can make some money.”

“Oh?” she gasped, surprised.

I chuckled, “No, not that way!”

She looked relieved.

“My boss from the deli, his son is a veterinarian and they think we could write a program to manage his animal patients. They’d pay us for doing it, of course. He asked me and I suggested you could help. Also, because I’ll be going to Sweden in June or July, and be gone for a year, you could work on changes or fixes while I was gone.”

“That’s cool! Let’s do it!” she said.

“I already said yes. I was sure you would agree.”

“Cool!”

“Beth, I owe you an apology for basically forgetting about sex with you. I know it’s not your style to ask and I’m so used to girls asking me that I don’t think about it.”

“I don’t need it every time we get together, though after today, I just might!”

“You should probably find a boyfriend because I’ll be gone for a year.”

“Good point. But there aren’t that many guys I’d be interested in and the ones I’m interested in don’t make any moves. They’re like you!”

“Or they don’t realize you’re interested. Tell you what, give me some names and I’ll take care of it for you. It’s simple enough for me to drop hints.”
