I hope you remember the dress granny gave you, if not then it's in ch13.
Previously:

"You've got a secret admirer, Victoria." "Pfhh yeah please." I snuck in and took the letter. I examined it in my office. This handwriting . . . 'scientific experiment' . . . no it couldn't be. "Haha nooo . . . I know who my secret admirer is and he asked me out on a date." "Did he confirm that everything was true to his heart?" "Yesss, and he even works at HQ, in the Forensics department," "Victoria, my little vampire reaper . . . What is his name?" " I think it starts with an o . . . Othello."

Undertaker's POV:

Father-mode, on. "No, no no no."
"But dad—" "Absolutely not," I said. "You don't even know him," Victoria said.
I laughed for a minute straight, when I regained my composure I was back to Father-mode. "I forbid it, you will not be going on that date . . . When is it?"
"Tomorrow."
"Tomorrow an—wait tomorrow?" She nodded her head. This was gonna be a long night.

💀🖤the next night🖤💀

She was still getting ready in her room, I told her to be home before midnight, keep a close eye on the necklace, and to stay six feet away from . . .
Knock knock.
Him. "Don't worry Victoria, I'll get the door." Why does this sound familiar.
"You haven't changed a bit, still in a lab coat and tie, and yet you don't have the decency to change your look, Othello. I mean you're going out with my daughter."
"Nice to see you too, Silver Fox." Back in the day I let him call me that because he said that my reaper registration number was too long. "May I come in?"
My body says slam the door in his face, but the girl next door says let him in for a few seconds till he runs with his scythe between his legs. "Come in old friend."
Let's start off a conversation nice and small . . . Who am I kidding I can't do it with him. I grabbed Othello by the shirt and pinned him to the wall. "Listen you green haired geek, don't you touch any part of my daughters body and she better come home with not a single strand of hair missing and happy." I put my hand behind my back. "Or else that lab of yours will look like it did seventy years ago." He started shaking, "I-I-promise I'll show her a good time." I let him go. "Good, now straighten your tie," I said. It was purple and it matches the socks.

"Alright I'm ready, how do I look?" In the dress granny gave her, with Victorian style boots, some of her hair from the side she held back with a bow clip, and of course she had the necklace on. "You look beautiful," me and Othello said. "And you . . . in your lab coat," she said. I couldn't help but chuckle.
When they left I ran to the phone and dialed his number. "Come on pick up" . . . "Hello?"
"Grell you wanna ease drop on a date?"

💀🖤at a pub in London🖤💀

Victoria's POV:

"One kidney pie, and two fish and chips. I hope you don't mind sharing a pie," Othello said. "No no that's ok, just remember I'm 18 not 21," I said. "Cancel the ale and make it water," he whispered. I got us a table next to the window and it's pretty nice out, full moon and everything. "Dinner has arrived."

Undertaker's POV:

Here I was in black and here was Grell in a red fedora and coat. We were in an ally behind boxes. "You know it doesn't surprise me that your girl can get a date and I can't." "Oh really, look who she's out with," I said. 1 . . . 2 . . . 3. "Whaaaattt!" I pulled him down. "Shhh." "Don't shhh me, your daughter can get a date with anyone in the GRDA and she starts with the Forensics," Grell said. He kept hiding then looking again. "You know this is the same pub I had to meet Othello to talk about you." "Oh really." I got back up and took out my binoculars. "They're even eating the same food, fish and chips and kidney pie," Grell said.

Victoria's POV:

"So what do you think of the job? Would you rather transfer to another department?" "No I'm fine where I am and I like the job, just get the job done and go home," I said. "Hmm, your dad told you that," Othello said. "How about we talk less about him and more about ourselves. How long you been a reaper, Othello?" He looked nervous. "Well . . . ummm . . . let's just say half this kidney pie will be gone by the time I'm done with my story," he said.
It wasn't really, and we decided to go for a walk once our brains and stomachs were stuffed. "Before we go there's something I have to send to my human resource here," he said. He pulled a dove out of his coat. "Can I?" "Of course," Othello put it gently in my hand, Then I moved my hand up and it fluttered away.
"So, a walk in the park," Othello said.

Undertaker's POV:

"Grell quit grumbling, we have to get to the park before them."

🌳at the park at night🌳

Victoria's POV:

I hardly listened to him, I was too busy looking at the trees wondering, did they hide behind those and have a picnic. "Victoria are you ok?" "Wuh, oh yeah I'm fine, just tired." He looked at his clock, "it's almost 10:30," he said. That woke me up a bit, "you have to get me home." I started walking back. "But we only have an hour and a half left," Othello said, ". . . Until my lab is destroyed."
"What did you say?"
"Oh nothing nothing, let's just get you home," he said. At that there were drops of rain falling. He took off his coat and gave it to me. "I'm sure he wouldn't want you wet."

💀🖤at the reaper realm🖤💀

Undertaker's POV:

I opened that door and shut it soo fast I thought it was magic. I threw the coat and fedora in my room, ran to the living room, and sat on our chaise sofa.
(Basically this: and it's a spoiler from vol30.)

I heard the door click

I heard the door click.
"Thank you, Othello, it'll try not to bump into you at work." From the other side if the door I heard 'same here, bye.' "Bye." She walked in like all those ladies do on their first date: slow, thinking about it, and tired. "Sooo, how was the date?"

Victoria's POV:

"Sooo, how was the date?"
He was on the chaise sofa looking at his nails like he needed a pedi. "Oh it was nice, we went out to eat then for a walk in the park, you know, a normal date." I was spinning in my dress. "Oh really, then why are you twirling around like a ballerina?" "Oh because our second date is in two weeks," I said. He tumbled to the ground after that. "And dad I'm sure you trust me alone with a guy, but next time don't take Grell on a ease drop."
