wait'll

You'll see soon

Wait'll is a contraction of "wait until," used in casual speech and informal writing to build anticipation or warn someone about what's coming: Wait'll you see what I bought, Wait'll your father hears about this.

The spelling captures the natural slurring of the two words in rapid speech.
