Mac showed up in the mess hall and got her tray, going through the line quickly, she joined Gunny at a table where five other men soon joined them. They had hoped to talk, but with an audience they now just ate in silence. Just as they finished dinner an announcement was made that a special order of chocolate ice cream had come in and they were going to be serving it until it was gone. Mac jumped to her feet so quickly that her chair fell over backwards. She didn't even stop to pick it up as she raced across the room to get her share. Anyone that saw her coming got out of her way and because of this she was the first on in line for the treat. Holding out her bowl to the Private serving the ice cream she begged for two scoops claiming that she was eating for three….and deserved a double portion.
Arriving back at the table she sat down and dug in. Dipping into her bowl she took a large spoonful of the ice cream and placed it in her mouth. Her eyes closed in bliss, and she moaned.
Gunny, sitting across from her, almost came unglued at that sound.
The spoon was slowly withdrawn from her mouth and Mac's tongue appeared to lick the last drop of chocolate off the spoon before going to her bowl for a second scoop. Again came the moan, and Gunny almost came in his pants! The five other men at the table were having the same problem as they watched her eating her ice cream. None of them would leave the table to get ice cream of their own; they were enjoying Mac's too much!
When Mac opened her eyes to retrieve her third scoop of ice cream she saw the strained look on Gunny's face. "What's wrong, Gunny?" she asked.
"Do you always eat ice cream that way?" he asked in a strained voice.
"Yes, why?"
"Even in public?!"
Looking around the table and seeing strange looks on the faces of the other men there she demanded, "What way?"
"Like you're making love to it!" Gunny informed her.
With another glance at the other men, she realized that she had managed to arouse every one of them! Blushing and wanting to be anywhere but there she jumped to her feet and started to run from the room. Half way across the mess hall she turned and raced back to the table, grabbing her bowl and spoon she once again turned and made a beeline for the door.
A Major that was at the table with him, told Gunny, "I think you upset her, Gunnery Sergeant."
"But I just said what we all were thinking, with all due respect Sir!" Gunny protested.
"Yes, but none of us said it out loud!" the Major laughed.
With a sigh, Gunny got up from the table and was planning on going to apologize to Mac when he saw the line of people still waiting for their ice cream. Slowly approaching the line he made his way to the front and faced the Private and the people giving him evil looks for cutting in line and said, "Could I please have another scoop for the pregnant Marine?"
He got a rueful grin and a large scoop of ice cream. Minutes later he was knocking on Mac's door. She threw the door open and saw Gunny with the bowl in his hands, "Did you come here to taunt me with that?!" Mac demanded.
Holding out the bowl to her he said, "No, I brought this to say I'm sorry, but if you don't want it…"
Turning he started to walk away when Mac grabbed him by the elbow and pulled him into the room, ice cream bowl and all. "Who said I didn't want it?"
Smirking he handed her the bowl and watched as she snatched the spoon from her first bowl and dug in. The moaning started on the first bite and then as she caught herself doing it, Mac glanced up at Gunny and blushed again.
Squirming in his seat as he grinned at her, he said, "It's okay Mac, its just us here now and I understand how much you like your chocolate!"
