Hi all
So this is one of my first erotic stories - please be kind! It's not based on anything in particular, although I will admit that I've had a number of inspirations! I'm planning to write more of these, and have a vague idea of where it's going, but even so, ideas welcome!
Cheers
GT

"Do you need some help?"
Emily jumped in surprise when she heard the voice behind her, almost causing her to drop the boxes she was carrying. She turned to find a woman in her early forties standing behind her. She was of medium build, and significantly taller than Emily, but her smile nevertheless put her at ease.
"Errrmm, no, thanks. These are all I have left to carry," she replied. "Actually, do you think you could get the door for me? It's just that one."
"Of course" the woman stepped forward and pushed the door open, allowing Emily to stumble through it, into her new flat. She looked around. "So, you're moving into this old place, then?"
"Yeah. My first new place," Emily replied.
Emily, who was approaching her 19th birthday, and just starting out at a university in London. She had been planning on moving in with her boyfriend, who was already in his second year there, but they had had a rather messy breakup a few weeks before Fresher's Week, and since it was too late to apply for Halls, her parents had decided to buy the long lease on a small studio apartment that she could stay in nearby.
"Ahh, the joys of your first proper flat," the woman said with a faraway look in her eyes. "I remember mine. Not unlike this one... Although back then, I couldn't afford the heating." She turned and offered her hand. "My name is Elizabeth, by the way. I don't think I caught yours?"
"Emily." she shook, and was surprised by the firmness of the handshake. The woman was stronger than she looked.
"I live a few doors down, with my daughter, Ginny..." She saw the look on Emily's face. "I know, I know. I was going through my Harry Potter phase at the time. It could be worse - I could be naming her "Khaleesi," like some of those bloody Thrones fans do now."
Emily laughed. "I know what you mean. My mum is feminist. Apparently, my parents named me after a famous Suffragette."
Elizabeth smiled. "Pankhurst, or Davison?"
Emily just shrugged. "Davison, I think. Pankhurst was actually 'Emmeline,' not 'Emily.'"
"Oh really? I must've been hearing it wrong. So, you moving in with your boyfriend, then... Emily?" Elizabeth asked.
"No," Emily replied, her face darkening. "It's just me."
"Oh... Oh. I see..." Elizabeth said, in what sounded like a sincerely apologetic voice, her eyebrows raising somewhat. "So all on your own, are you? Tell you what, if you need anything, I'm in Flat 213. My door is always open." She began to make her exit. "I should probably be getting back, I'm afraid. My daughter will be bursting for the toilet."
"Why would that concern you... Oh." Emily suddenly realised what it might mean. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't think."
"It's all right. I do have a tendency to be forthright about things like that." Elizabeth smiled. "She's 18 as well. Not exactly the kind of age to have your mother worrying about things like that, I'm afraid. But hey ho, we take the hand life deals us."
That's certainly for true, Emily thought to herself bitterly. Outwardly, she smiled. "Okay, see you later!"
Once the Elizabeth was gone, Emily began her work unpacking the large boxes and cases. Her parents had already had it furnished, with a large double bed, a couple of armchairs and coffee table, a large entertainment set with surround sound, and a nice kitchen area with proper facilities, but she needed to inject some of her personality to it, and make it more her style. They had already installed wi-fi and a Sky box, but the television had only just been delivered this morning, so she would have to set it up herself. Emily knew that if she brought any of her friends here, they would immediately think she was a spoiled rich kid, but she didn't care. She hadn't had a choice in the matter, after all, and her parents had always made an effort to keep her grounded and force her to live by their moral values. There was always more she could do to avoid this image, though. Up until now, she had lived in a upscale, rural part of Northern Ireland, gone to boarding school and had probably been quite sheltered. So she was hoping to live a little, experience the world and make as many friends as she could. And maybe move on from that knob-head she had been dating.
He had seemed perfectly nice and at the same time charmingly handsome. A big, strapping London boy on a lads' holiday to Belfast, he had been enticing from the moment she'd danced with him in the club they'd met at, and he in turn had been quite taken by her sweet features and Irish accent. The sex was great as well. She had secretly boasted to her friends about it at length.
And by "it," she was referring to his dick.
She'd even decided to follow him to London to attend his university - which, itself, was one of London's most highly regarded, so her parents had had no problem with her putting in so much work and so much effort to get accepted into it. But then the time came, and shortly before she had set off for London, he'd sent her a text telling her that he was seeing someone else.
That was it.
He'd shattered her 18-year old heart in the space of just one text message.
Her parents had supported her, obviously, and offered to help her find another university (her grades were excellent, and they had friends in high places, so they would have had no difficulty), but she'd had her heart set on going to this one, and she'd worked so hard to get this place; that piece of shit wasn't going to spoil it for her. Plus, she wanted to get in on her own merits, not through nepotism. So she'd proceeded as normal. They'd found the studio apartment, and purchased the long lease on it - hoping that, if she decided to stay on in London, she would have a permanent base there, and if she decided to move back to Northern Ireland, they'd have somewhere to rent out. Which brought her to now.

Hours later, Emily had finished her unpacking, and lying on her bed, her hair wet from her shower, editing something on Wikipedia using her laptop and talking to her mother on her phone.
"So, sweetheart, how was the move?" Her mother asked
"The move worked out great, Mum! It all fits perfectly," she said. "The TV isn't set up, though. I'm going to have a stab at that tomorrow. There's a very friendly woman who lives a few doors down - Elizabeth, I believe. Maybe she can help."
"Oh lovely! What is this woman like, then? It's always good to befriend your neighbours, that's what I learned!"
"She's very friendly. Has a nice smile. And she offered me help whenever I needed it." Emily felt herself yawning. "Anyway, I gotta go, mom. Need an early night, tonight. This unpacking has wiped me out. Love you!"
"Goodnight, sweetheart! Love you too!"
