wait up
Stay for me
Wait up is a request to pause or slow down so someone can catch up: Wait up, I'm coming too!
It also means to stay awake until someone arrives or something happens: Don't wait up for me—I'll be home late.
The first sense implies physical movement; the second implies time passing.
