Track 4: El Efecto - Rauw Alejandro, Chencho Corleone.

Helena had been in the studio, recording the songs she had written in the past weeks. Since Karol's birthday, Benito had been sending her flirty texts almost every day, he made it very clear that he wanted her and that was something she liked about him - his honesty.

I just landed, send me your address, I'm not wasting any time., he had texted her while she had been in the booth.

I'm at the studio right now, come over if you like., she responded, then she sent him the location of the studio. She put her phone back down and went into the booth again. About an hour later, her producer stopped the recording because someone had knocked on the door. A security guy came in with Benito following him. The producer and Benito knew each other, had even worked with one another but he didn't have anything booked with him and he was confused. Helena couldn't hear what they were saying, but she knew her producer, so she pressed the communication button.

"It's alright, Dave, I invited him." she said, looking through the big window. Benito and her made eye contact. She could see him check her out and she did the same. He was wearing a brown hoodie, grey sweatpants and and black cap. Helena unnoticeably bit her lip and gave Dave a thumbs up while Benito sat down on the couch behind him. Up until this point, Benito had never heard her sing seriously other than on the radio. He knew that she was talented but he had not expected her to have such a clean voice. He started smiling, when she started singing the chorus of the song. Benito recognised the lyrics since she had texted him exactly this part. Helena had trouble concentrating, his presence was enough to get her in the mood. When she finished the part, she asked Dave to play it, she needed to hear it with the beat. The song she was recording was rather sexual, something that made Benito fantasise.

For almost an hour Helena redid the chorus over and over but somehow she couldn't get it in the way that she wanted it.

"Helena, we should take a break.", Dave said when he noticed that she was getting frustrated. Nodding, Helena took off the headphones and came out of the booth.

"I'll go order some food, you want some too?" the producer asked, getting up from his chair.

"No, I'm good, thanks." she responded, putting her notebook onto the desk in front of him. David left the studio and so it was only Benito and her.

"Why do you keep re-recording it? It sounds great." Benito said, looking at her. Helena grabbed a pen and started writing something down.

"It doesn't come out the way I want it." she replied, then started chewing on her lower lip. She was thinking that maybe it was something in the lyrics that didn't feel right.

"How do you want it to come out?" Benito wanted to know, getting up from the couch and walking over to her.

"The song's about having fantasies but I don't sound like I'm having any." Helena gave back frustrated. Benito smirked, bit his lower lip and took the book from her. She looked at him and tried to get it back but he held it up, so she couldn't reach it.

"I can help you with that." he told her, looking down at her. Helena started smiling but shook her head.

"I don't think you can." she responded quietly.

"Go in the booth, I'll show you." he then said, nodding in the direction of the big window. Benito knew how to use the recording devices, so he put in the right settings while Helena walked up to the mic. She patiently waited for him to give her a sign and he did. He started the beat at the beginning, walked over to the door to the booth and joined her behind the mic. Helena stared at him in confusion while the already recorded part of the song was playing in her ears. Benito walked around her and wrapped one of his arms around her shoulders, then he bent down and placed a sloppy kiss on her shoulder. Now she understood what he was trying to do. Helena felt him place small kisses all over her lower neck and her shoulder and her head did the rest. She imagined what was going to happen after the recording session and then the moment came in which she started singing. With a satisfied smirk on his face Benito stepped back from her and let her do her thing. He left the booth and walked back over to the computer. After the chorus, he stopped the recording. Benito took the headphones, spun the record back and listened to it. A smile spread across his face. Her voice sounded hot and definitely like she had been thinking about something sexual while recording. Helena came out of the booth and he handed her the headphones. She was shocked, it sounded exactly like she had intended it.

"That's how I wanted it!" she exclaimed happily.

"Told you, I could help." Benito gave back cockily, crossing his arms over his chest and leaning back in the chair. Helena sat in his lap with the headphones still on and pressed her lips on his.

When Dave came back with a Chinese takeaway box in his hand, they were playing the song on blast.

"Did you record while I was gone?" he asked surprised.

"Yeah, Benito helped me relax." Helena responded happily.

"Okay, let me hear it." he said and started eating his meal. Benito pressed play, bobbing his head to the beat in the second it started. Dave listened carefully and he started nodding once the outro started playing.

"What do you think?" Helena asked hopeful.

"It's amazing." he gave back, then smiled at both of them. Since the song was complete now, they ended the studio session after that. Helena and Benito used the elevator to get to the parking lot. It was around 8pm and Helena let out an annoyed sign when she looked at her phone.

"What's wrong?" Benito asked.

"I forgot about this business dinner tonight." she responded. She was absolutely not in the mood for a fancy restaurant in that moment but she had promised her management to go and so she had no other choice.

"That means?" Benito wanted to know.

"It means that I have to go to Nobu now." Helena told him. Benito let out a frustrated sigh. Again, he didn't get to listen to the playlist.

"I'll drop you off at your hotel, I'm sorry, Benito." she said, sounding just as frustrated.

"Alright. How about I come over after you finish the dinner?" he suggested. Helena nodded, then the elevator stopped and the doors slid open. The two of them walked over to her Mercedes. The car ride was silent and Helena could've played the playlist but she decided against it. After all, he hadn't slept with her yet.
