No, but seriously, Pepper really was charmed by Bucky when they first met. She was half-amused by the initial part of the exchange, especially after it was established that they were both in committed relationships. Almost immediately she felt really comfortable around Bucky. Maybe it's the whole Steve thing, but maybe it really is that residual charm of Bucky's former skirt-chasing days. Either way, he's fun to be around.
Another thing is that it meant a lot to her that he was willing to open up and befriend her so swiftly. Even being "Tony's dame" and a pseudo-acquaintance of Steve's, that was a lot to let a person in on. That conversation in the bar really endeared her to him. So, she'd love to spend more time getting to know him better, if he's up for it ever.
Good for you, Bucky! You've left a very excellent impression on her and she cares a lot about you already. And it's not just a superficial concern, either.
THOUGH, SHE'S REALLY APOLOGETIC FOR TONY'S BEHAVIOR. (ESPECIALLY THAT PARTY. Forever apologizing. They still need an awkward double date.) Even at Camp, Tony is a child and she has to apologize to everyone. No wonder Pepper doesn't have any friends at home.
tl;dr YOU'RE ACE IN HER BOOKS.
P.S. She finds it cute how you call her Tony's dame.
