"I was just waiting for your chill" is correct or wrong sentence?
 
More context would help.
 
i would like to say her that i am waiting for her cool down/chill, afterwards i will talk to you.

If you must use "chill", in popular usage it would be, "I was just waiting for you to chill".
 
:up: You have to get these popular usages just right, or you risk being seriously misunderstood.;-) Without context I assumed that 'I was waiting for your chill' meant something like 'I knew you'd been caught in the rain without an umbrella, and I was expecting your health to decline.' ;-)

That's the way to say it.

PS Instead of 'cool down' you could also use 'simmer down' - similar meaning, but more emphatic

The main thing you need to spot in this is that the construction you used "I am waiting for your + noun" is incorrect in this context. We use "I am waiting for you + to infinitive".

I am waiting for you to chill out.
I am waiting for him to come home.
He is waiting for me to eat the cake.
They are waiting for her to become angry.
