It means to wait or anticipate a longer period of time than the elliptical expression “one second”. How long is “one sec”. Now double that and you have “two seconds”. It’s a way to tell your friend or someone to wait a lil longer and it will take “two seconds” instead of “one second”. If you were going for more than 5 minutes I would consider than “2 seconds”.
